shut him up. A Bay Guardian

W ILLIAM SAFIRE does it.
Night line does it. The
National Enquirer does it
— and I’ve finally given in, too.
For the first time ever, In This
Issue presents Redmond’s Predic¬
tions For 1990,

Some of them are based on ex¬
tensive research, some on my per¬
sonal astrological theories (when
the stars spin counterclockwise on
a Saturday night, someone in
Australia has just flushed the
toilet,, , ) and some of them I just
made up. See if you can tell the
difference:

■ Dianne Feinstein will come
from behind (thanks to a last-
minute influx of $5 million of her
husband’s money) and win the
Democratic nomination for gover¬
nor. She will lose to Pete Wilson
in November, but only after
Wilson’s campaign team resorts to
a vicious anti-Semitic campaign
that destroys his clean, nice-guy
image forever.

■ Jerry Brown will marry Jane
Fonda, take over Campaign
California and announce he’s
entering the 1992 presidential race,
■ Two senior San Francisco offici¬
als will be caught up in the HUD
scandals and forced to resign.

■ Warren Widener will move to
Oakland and try to run for mayor,
but will withdraw when polls show
him trailing even the candidate
from Uhuru House.

■ An obscure Peninsula lawyer
will emerge from the pack to
become California’s first elected
insurance commissioner.

■ Julie Tang will enter the race
for assessor at the urging of Bill
Maher, Rich Schlackman and the
Chamber of Commerce,
Schlackman will try to convince
Quentin Kopp to endorse Tang on
the grounds that Mayor Agnos is
backing Dick Hongisto, but the
senator won’t bite.

* The city will face the worst
budget deficit in history, and
Agnos will blame it on the earth¬
quake. The Chamber will blame
Prop. M.

■ Nancy Walker will retire from
politics and take a high-paying job
with an investment banking firm.
Nobody will be able to figure out
what she does all day, but she’ll be
too busy to return phone calls.

■ With his book sales slumping,
Thomas Pynchon will surface in a
small town near Areata and sign
on as an Examiner writer-in¬
residence, but the Newspaper
Guild will scotch the deal after
Herb Caen runs an item revealing
that Pynchon was once a member
of an anarchist ceil that sought to
undermine the AFL-CIO,

■ I will at long last be invited to
appear on Jeopardy f but will panic
in the final round, forget to frame
“What is Net Present Value” as a
question and lose my shot at the
big time.

LETTERS

EDITORIALS

Willie Brown's apologists

T IOs THE Board of Governors of the State Bar
of California.

FROM: The complainants in the Willie
Brown/Underwater World ethics case
RE: A few points of dissent on the matter of
lawyer-legislator conflicts

Let’s start with some basic facts:

1. Willie L. Brown Jr. is the senior member of
San Francisco’s legislative delegation, the speaker
of the state Assembly and probably the most pow¬
erful Democrat in California. (He does pretty well
in his home town, too.)

2. Brown also has a private law practice, of
which he is the only partner, and he represents
clients who have business before both state and
local agencies. His roster of private clients includes
some of the biggest corporations, landowners and
developers in California: PG&E, Santa Fe Pacific
Realty, Olympia and York, NorcaJ Solid Waste,
etc.

3, On a number of occasions in the past ten
years. Brown has introduced, promoted or voted
on legislation that could (and almost certainly did)
financially benefit one of his private law clients.
Those instances have been documented extensively
in the Bay Guardian, the San Jose Mercury News
and a few other places (alt ho ugh the daily papers in
San Francisco have largely ignored them).

4. Most recently, Brown has represented a con¬
sortium of investors, led by a New Zealand
developer, that is trying to build a flashy commer¬
cial aquarium at Fisherman’s Wharf. One of the
initial opponents of the project was the nonprofit
California Academy of Sciences, which operates a
research and educational aquarium in Golden Gate
Park. The group’s opposition vanished after
Brown introduced a bill that would allocate some
$2 million in state funds to the academy (see “The
Aquarium Conspiracy/’ 5/31/89).

5. Time and again, we’ve raised complaints
about Brown’s conduct. Twice — in 1984 and in
1989 — we’ve filed formal complaints with the
state bar, the legislative ethics committee, the Fair
Political Practices Commission, the civil grand
jury and the District Attorney’s Office. But some¬
how, none of those agencies has ever managed to
find a single thing wrong w ith what the speaker has
been doing.

There is always an excuse: The complaint wasn’t
filed in the right form. The ethics committee isn’t
sure it has jurisdiction. A loophole in state law pre¬
vents the FPPC from penalizing legislators for
conflicts of interest, so the agency won’t waste its
time investigating. The San Francisco DA can’t do
anything, since the problems occurred in Sacra¬
mento — but the Sacramento DA can’t do any¬
thing either , and can’t be bothered explaining why.
The stale bar can’t find any conclusive evidence of
impropriety.

The whole affair is always handled quietly, the
records are kept secret, and when it’s all over, the
complainants are often the last to know.

The aquarium case was no different. The FPPC
declined to pursue our complaint on the grounds
that it lacked enforcement power. The Legislative
Ethics Committee issued a lengthy, complex legal
statement asserting, in essence, that the Bay
Guardian’s complaint wasn’t signed in the proper
legal fashion. And the state bar announced that it
could find nothing wrong.

In fact , nobody at the state bar even bothered to
inform us that our complaint had been dismissed.
We read about it in the Chronicle — in a short, un¬
signed, uncritical story that was little more than a
rewritten press release exonerating Brown of any
possible wrongdoing. The article never explained
the issues involved, never challenged a single one of
Brown’s claims and never took the bar the slightest
bit to task for letting the speaker off the hook on
what amounted to about as clear and obvious a
case of conflict of interest as anyone is going to find
in California today.

And guess what? One of the investors in the
project is a subsidiary of the company that owns
the San Francisco Chronicle.

T AKE A look at the bottom line: The speaker
of the California Assembly has essentially an¬
nounced that all a powerful business needing

special favors from a state or local agency needs to
do is cough up a far enough “legal fee.” It’s as easy
as the old satchel of cash in the back room: Even
campaign contributions have limits and are subject
to fairly strict disclosure, but legal fees are unregu¬
lated, unlimited, uncontrolled — and protected
from public scrutiny under the doctrine of “attor¬
ney-client privilege.”

And the legislative ethics committee, the state
bar association and the Fair Political Practices
Commission all say it’s just fine.

It adds up to one hell of an indiament. A Judge
Sirica and a prosecutor Jaworski could go to town
with it. The coverup alone would keep a couple of
young Bernsteins and Woodwards with an ag¬
gressive daily paper behind them busy for months.

But there seems to be a distinct dearth of Siricas,
Jaworskis and daily-newspaper Bernsteins and
Woodwards these days, especially in California. A
funny thing happens when you call around to all
the good liberal politicians and community
leaders, the advocates of reform, the foes of cor¬
ruption, the champions of good government and
public accountability: Once you mention Willie
Brown and ihe problem of lawyer-legislator con¬
flicts, they dive for cover.

Look what happened when citizen reform
groups like California Common Cause, riding on
the wave of public concern over political ethics,
convinced the state Legislature this fall to place
what started out as a sweeping ethics bill on the
June 1990 ballot. The legislators and power-
brokers could accept some restrictions on cam¬
paign contributions and honoraria, and some ex¬
pansion of the open government and public
records laws. Those things look good to the voters,
put the elected officials on the side of the angels —
and for the Willie Browns of the world, cost vir¬
tually nothing.

But that minor matter of regulating outside in¬
come, of restricting whai a legislator could do as a
private attorney — that basic issue of forcing peo¬
ple in elected office to decide whether they wanted
to work for the public or for their private clients —
well, that pan of the “ethics reform” package
died* quickly and quietly, thanks to Brown.

I N 1974, IN the wake of the Watergate scandals,
the American Bar Association adopted a model
code of ethics for lawyers* designed to give state
bar associations, which directly monitor and disci¬
pline lawyers* some guidelines for rules of profes¬
sional conduct.

Canon Eight of the model code has a section that
goes Uke this:

“A Lawyer who is a public officer, whether full or
part-time* should not engage in activities in which
his personal or professional interests are, or foresee-
ably could be, in conflict with his official duties.”

In 47 of the 50 states, the state bar associations
have adopted that provision, made it a binding pari
of their codes of conduct and formally directed
their members to obey it. Three states have not:
Georgia, Alabama and California.

We’re not surprised that the state bar has found
“an absence of compelling evidence” (to quote the
bar’s Dec. 22nd press release) that Willie Brown
did anything improper when he introduced a bill to
funnel a couple million dollars in state money to
the group that was the biggest impediment to his
client’s project. We’re not surprised that district
attorneys, FPPC commissioners, legislative ethics
committee members, Chronicle reporters and
editors and a host of others can find plausible-
sounding reasons to avoid taking on the most pow¬
erful Democrat in California.

But we’re getting tired of excuses. Our summary
argument is simple:

You can ’t represent Underwater World and San
Francisco’s 17th Assembly District at the same
time. It’s never going to work. If Willie Brown
wants to be a high-priced lawyer for developers
who do business in San Francisco and keep his fees,
arrangements and meetings secret, that’s fine—he
should give up his Assembly seat and practice
law. If the state bar believes that Brown has done
nothing to violate its codes of conduct , those codes
are dearly inadequate, and should be revised
immediately.

Who will make the motion?

Rockers of the world, unite!

v I am a musician. I am supposed to think it is a
privilege to piay the Warfield. 1 am supposed to put
up with getting paid 5100 to play a 45-minute set
when I know the headliner will be making $4,000.1
am supposed to kiss the feet of every Bay Area
booking agent until the tongue falls out of my
head. That is what I did, that is what I do and what
anyone else who plays music for this fine artist-
loving community will have to do to get exposure.

“Boycott,” Ann Powers says. Boycott* you
heavy metal bands. Yeah, right Ann. Boycott the
only two clubs in the Bay Area that feature heavy
metal music nightly. A boycott is a cute little idea-
and might be effective if everyone mutinied, but
there is always one scab — or in this case, countless
others. Who can blame them?

There is the Kennel Club that occasionally puts
on a metal show* but the Kennel Club, like many
other prominent clubs in this area* is just the left
arm of the right finger from the left toe of the right
hand of Mr. Bill Graham’s organization.

The solution? Stan our own dub? Ha ha ha.
We’d rather bitch than switch. Do we uniteas fore¬
fathers of rock once did in the highly publicized
sixties (or did they just talk a lot about change be¬
tween hookah puffs?), deal with community con¬
flicts, employee conflicts, try to keep the building
South of Market that we just rented from Bill
Graham Productions for $3,000-a-month?

Solution Two — and the only one 1 have ever
witnessed to be effective — work the system from
within, be clever, be a spy, take over jobs, become
the booking agent of an already-established venue
and then try to get everyone fired that you don’t
like. After all, isn’t that what the Japanese are do¬
ing* and quite well?

This town is cruel and unusual to its artists. Un¬
derexposing the overexposed to be chic and
wading in the kiddie pool with their cellular
phones. We all want to make it for one reason or
many others, but tell me this — every time you call
a booking agent at one of San Francisco’s
fabulous entertainment venues, don’t you just
want to go down there with a bouquet of flowers
and do some creative remodeling?

Feminism still a vital movement

I read with great pleasure Laura Fraser’s recent
response to Time magazine’s prediction of the
death of feminism (see Bay Guardian, 12/20/89). I
think that anyone who has spent time on a college
campus lately realizes that feminism is still one of
our most vital intellectual and political move¬
ments. Considering the Bay Guardian’s unwritten
rule that all its articles must include an attack on
the Chronicle and the Examiner, Fraser’s discus¬
sion of child-care policies at our local newspapers is
relatively balanced.

But why stop at the dailies? My personal experi¬
ence has shown me that liberal and leftist period¬
icals generally are less considerate toward their
employees than are their conservative counterpans
(partly, I suppose, due to smaller budgets).

Time's change: Not likely

Laura Fraser’s criticisms of Time magazine
(Press Box, 12/20/89) don’t go far enough. Like
General Motors and some other pre-CoId-War in¬
stitutions, Time is engaged in what one Bay Area
poet has called “the dance of the crippled
dinosaurs. ’ ’ According to Spy magazine. Time has
fired its stringers, reduced the power of its fact-
checkers and editors and over-relied on cor¬
respondents, 25 percent of whom are allegedly
deficient in basic writing skills. Some day a Time-
Wamer consultant will probably conclude that by
releasing Harlem Nights II and Lethal Weapon VI
in the same year, they can make more money than
from five years of Time .

When magazines like Time have lost both reader
credibility and advertiser appeal, talented
employees will go elsewhere, probably to younger
magazines where subsidized child care and non sex¬
ist compensation are part of the corporate cul¬

ture. Under such circumstances, is it ready produc¬
tive to try changing the ingrained attitudes of sex¬
agenarian white men who grew up in the Great
Depression? Or would the energy be better spent
cultivating skills and contacts for the time when
one leaves for a place where concepts of funda¬
mental fairness are actually carried out?

Reject Embarcadero hotel

A derision will be made soon by the SF Port
Commission that may approve plans for the con*
struction on the Embarcadero of a hotel and res¬
taurant, a shopping mart, office spaces and even
another yacht marina. The area between Piers 24
and 26 is being earmarked for this possible con¬
struction. Opinions are being asked for and l
would like to express my viewpoint on what should
go on the site.

I believe that the Embarcadero can better serve
the needs of the people o f San Francisco if a beau¬
tiful promenade is built that would enhance the
majestic beauty of our Bay as well as preserve its
heritage.

I envision an Embarcadero with an open view of
the Bay. An Embarcadero that would be dotted
with benches and walkways among grass and trees.
An Embarcadero lighted at night to add to its
charm. Such a promenade would entice the people
of our city to take their families for walks along the
front and enjoy the unmarred beauty of the Bay.

To permit one hotel to be erected will en¬
courage others to be built. We have a chance now
to erect something that all the people can enjoy.
Let’s not blow this chance to give something back
to the people. Let’s not destroy the Embarcadero
and the beauty of the Bay by installing another
commercial enterprise. Let’s not follow that cash
register mentality of “It’s no good unless we can
make a buck off it.”

The issue is simple — we must save our heritage,
even if we have to protect it at the ballot box.

Santa was a pagan

History is only as accurate as its creators have
perceived it. And though there might indeed have
been a Bishop of Myra called Nicholas (‘ l The Story
Behind Santa,” Bay Guardian 12/20/89), thequasi-
historical foundation for his existence and the
Santa Claus legend starts centuries after the
bishop’s demise. In the Middle Ages, the supposed
bones of Nicholas were brought out of Asia Minor
and reconsecrated in Bari, Italy. Despite his huge
following, the Nicolaite cult was largely sup¬
pressed by the Church because the Nieolaites
believed that Nicholas had the ability to raise the
dead from a "magic cauldron.” Of course* such
Christ-like miracles were not the domain of or¬
dinary men* or even saints, so the Church did its
best to stop the spread of Nicolaism. As for the
other mytho-historic aspects of St. Nick, bear in
mind that the inevitable merging and homoge¬
nizing of various theologies in the “Dark Ages”
turned the pagan pantheons of gods, demi-gods
and god-blessed mortals into a new and acceptable
Christian mythology.

Thus, St. Nick replaced Poseidon as the sea-god
and the patron of sailors; replaced Befana or the
Pasqua Epiphinia as the goddess of benevolence
and reassigned her tradition of putting gifts in
stockings; and replaced the benevolent aspect of
the Norse god, Woden, who galloped over roof¬
tops granting his worshippers’ wishes.

Thus, Santa Claus is really a well-disguised
pagan god disguised as a saint disguised as a
toymaker.

Petris bill
leaves Berkeley

TANGLED IN
RED TAPE

THE BERKELEY Rent Stabilization
Board got a first-hand look last month at
the problems that can result when the state
Legislature tries to regulate local rent-
control laws.

The Legislature approved in 1989 a law
sponsored by Berkeley’s state senator,

Nick Petris, that restricts the ability of
local agencies to limit annual rent hikes for
landlords who have violated rent-control
laws. Berkeley had to amend its rent or¬
dinance by Jan, 1st to comply with the
new law.

The rent board argued for more than an
hour Dec. 18th about how to do that — and
when the final vote was cast, both pro-
landlord and pro-tenant board members
were unhappy with the result*

Regulation 1278 implements the Petris
biJL which allows landlords to receive
rent increases they were previously denied*
But to guard against possible landlord
abuse, the regulation also adds a new peti¬
tion form, a new hearing process and more
appeals to an already overburdened rent-
control bureaucracy.

Petris’s bill, among other things,
changed the rules for previously delin¬
quent landlords whose property now com¬
plies with the law. When landlords are out
of compliance, they are not allowed the
usual annual rent increase, known as an
“annual general adjustment.” Under
Petris 1 s bill, when landlords start comply¬
ing with the law, they can raise rents to in¬
clude the previously denied yearly in¬
creases.

Berkeley's pro-tenant majorities on both
the rent board and the City Council op¬
posed the bill, which was drafted by one of
Berkeley's top landlord consultants. But
Petris was able to pass it through the state
Legislature and impose it on Berkeley,

Drafted by the rent board staff. Regula¬
tion 1278 spells out steps a landlord must
take to qualify for the rent increase. The
landlord must request the increase in a
petition to the board, and also notify the
tenant. After verifying all the information,
the rent board gives the tenant a chance to
dispute the landlord’s factual claims in a
hearing. When the rent board finally
makes a decision, either party can appeal.

After an hour's debate and a number of
amendments, the board passed this regula¬
tion by an odd 5-0 vote with four absten¬
tions. Two pro-landlord and three pro-
tenant commissioners voted for approval.

Another strange split vote happened on
an amendment reducing the fee landlords
must pay to file the rent-increase petition,
waiving it for units priced below the
citywide median for that unit size. (The
reduced fee is S3 5 a unit for the first nine,
$10 for each additional unit.) During the
meeting there was no discussion about the
rationale for the amendment, although
Commissioners Betty Olds and Pearl
Marsh later told the Bay Guardian it was a
concession to landlords with “historically
low rents” who may not be able to afford
the filing fees.

But Commissioner Marianne Lawless
said this ignores the real costs the board
will incur in processing these petitions.

“Ifs going to take just as much staff time

and resources to decide on a unit below
median as any other one,” she said.

Lawless said she will bring the issue
up again at the regulation's second
reading and final approval Jan. 4th,
and see if the board can work out a fee
waiver for the truly needy.

But landlords are already moving to
take advantage of the new law. Berkeley's
largest landlord consultant, Michael St.
John, suggested, in the fall issue of his
newsletter for Berkeley landlords, that
owners need not apply to the board for
restored AGAs, but should simply give the
tenants 30 days notice and start charging
the higher rents.

Upon learning of St, John’s advice, rent
board Executive Director Joe Brooks fired
off a letter to him, reminding him that, ac¬
cording to Berkeley law, rents cannot be
raised without board approval and that St.
John “may want to share this information
with the membership of your newsletter.”

While decrying the establishment of yet
another bureaucratic rent board pro¬
cedure, pro-landlord Commissioner Betty
Olds conceded there was no other way she
could think of to protect against landlord
abuse of the AG A-resto ration program.

Olds expressed concern that the process
would be dragged out. “I have a feeling
there will be very few cases without
disputes,” she said. “I think tenants will
quickly see that if they file a complaint
they can stave off a rent increase for about
six months to a year.”

Olds added that in the long run the new
regulation will be good for both landlords
and tenants. “It will force owners to come
into compliance because they want those
AGAs back,” she said.

Lawless pointed out that it has been
Petris, Olds and the pro-landlord faction
that have twice now imposed new pro¬
grams and hearings on the rent board
staff. These are the same people who fre¬
quently complain about the increasing
costs and bureaucracy of rent control.

Walker gears

UP FOR NEW
ATTACK ON
BUDGET ANALYST

SUPERVISOR NANCY Walker is laying
the groundwork for what could be a new
assault on her longtime political nemesis.
Budget Analyst Harvey Rose.

Walker has asked the City Attorney's
Office to study the legality of consolida¬
ting the budget oversight duties of the
Mayor's Office, the chief administrative
officer and the Board of Supervisors Bud¬
get Analyst and creating a new agency that
would be under the control of the mayor.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors
is not an agency that operates on st rict
rules oflogic, but even for this odd
political city, Walker’s idea has an very
odd ring: In essence, she would be asking
the board to give up its independent
budget office. Walker's office insists there
is no concrete proposal on the table, and
that the supervisor is just exploring the
possiblity of consolidating some of the
budgetary functions of the three offices.
The city attorney's analysis will not be
complete until late January.

However, Walker has been increasingly

'Hasting as owner of the buildup

The owner cannot subcontract out

liability:

— Brian Jennison, enforcement specialise
Bey Area Air Quality Management District

at odds with Rose, who operates as an
independent consultant to the board
under a renewable one-year contract.

Last year, Walker tried to convince her
colleagues not to renew Rose’s contact,
but the effort failed.

Rose, who has been the board’s budget
analyst for more than a decade, has never
been a stranger to controversy: He’s faced
attacks from the right, left and center on
issues ranging from the costs of compar¬
able worth to the value of the city’s Hetch
Hetchy power sale contracts with PG&E.
“Everybody gets angry at him eventually,”
Ken Bruce, one of Rose’s employees, told
the Bay Guardian. However, Rose’s
suporters “and there are quite a few of
them — insist that the budget analyst is
only doing his job: Cutting through the
political hype and reducing issues of
municipal finance to the hard cold reality
of the bottom line.

Walker’s notion of combining Rose’s
office with others in the city met with a
chilly reception from Supervisor Richard
Hongisto, who describes him self as a
social liberal and a fiscal conservative.

”1 have not seen the proposal,”

Hongisto told the Bay Guardian. “But 1
would be not be inclined to dissolve the
Budget Analyst’s Office or do anything
that would reduce its independence.”

Hongisto said Rose’s office has often
prevented the board from allowing itself or
the mayor to wander aimlessly into fiscal
disasters. “That office has given
invaluable advice to the board,” he said.
“If Harvey Rose’s office were eliminated,
the board would do a much worse job in
fiscal matters.”

Hongisto also said he would have
serious reservations about any move that
would place budget analysis responsibil¬
ities solely under the Mayor’s Office. “It
would not be at all effective to have a
branch of the Mayor’s Office advising the
board on fiscal matters,” he said. “The
mayor and the board are separate
branches of the government with different
constituencies.”

FORCE DELAY IN

Hastings

DEMOLITION

STATE AND federal agencies have throw'
a wrench in any plans Hastings College of
the Law may have had for another quickie
demolition on Golden Gate Avenue.

The law school, which has been in a
state of virtual war with the Tenderloin
community for several years now, ap¬
parently has designs on clearing most o f a
city block on the western side of its cam¬
pus to make room for a new courthouse.
Such a project would destroy some 300
low-income housing units, and Hastings
insists that it is not bound by city law r s that
require one-for-one replacement of demol¬
ished housing.

On December 18th, the school took
down a building at 355 Golden Gate with
such frenzied dispatch that the demonion
crew didn’t even wait for a PG&E crew to
show up and turn off the gas and electricity

(see “Demoliton derby,” Bay Guardian,
12/20/89),

But the Eureka Hotel, the next
Has tings-owned building slated for
destruction, can’t come down until the
federal Environmental Protection Agency
and the Bay Area Air Quality Manage¬
ment District are given a detailed survey of
whether the building contains asbestos,
agency officials said.

Brian Jennison, an enforcement speci¬
alist with the air pollution control agency,
told the Bay Guardian Hastings cannot
demolish the building until after Jan. 8th,
and “they must abate aU asbestos in the
building prior to the demolition.”

Asbestos is an inorganic fiber that was
widely used as fireproofing and insulation
for much of this century. Over the past 20
years, scientists have found increasing
evidence that the fiber causes cancer and
other fatal illnesses, and its use has been
almost totally banned in the United States.

Asbestos is most dangerous when the
fibers become airborne — and demolishing
an old, asbestos-ridden building is a
perfect way to send the microscopic fibers
into the air.

Before the Eureka can be demolished,
Hastings will have to conduct a survey to
determine whether asbestos is contained in
such materials as floor tiles, sheetrock,
pipe wrappings and roofing and provide
the results to the EPA, EPA inspector
Dave Carlson told the Bay Guardian. If
asbestos is found, it must be removed by
licensed professionals.

Asbestos-removal projects usually in¬
clude the construction of a containment
structure to ensure that no asbestos is
released into the air. The process can be
time-consuming and expensive.

Large quantities of dust were released in
the air when 355 Golden Gate was tom
down. Jennison said his inspectors will
obtain samples of some of the debris from
that site and test it for asbestos.

Carlson and Jennison both said that
publicity about the demolition of 355
Golden Gate had helped alert them to the
pending demolition of the Eureka Hotel.

Jennison said he had been informed by
Cleveland that some asbestos was in 363
Golden Gate, “The demolition contractor
said the only asbestos in the building was
in the basement in the boiler and
associated pipes,” he said.

But both Jennison and Carlson said that
inspectors from their offices would check
the amount of asbestos in the building
before it was demolished.

Carlson said he had been told that Lhe
boiler contained less than the threshold
amount of asbestos — 160 square feet —
to allow his office to have jurisdiction, but
that his office would examine the site
nonetheless. Jennison said both Cleveland
Wrecking and Hastings could face
penalties if they do not abate the asbestos
properly before demolishing the building.
“If it is a first-time offense, the penalty
could be under $1,000,” he said. “But if
the demolition is done improperly and is
negligent and intentional, fines could be as
high as $25,000.”

Jennison also said it was Hastings that
would be liable for any misdeeds.
“Hastings, as owner of the building, has a
responsibility of informing Cleveland of all
hazards in the building,” he said. “The
owner of the building cannot subcontract
out liability.”

Hastings officials have maintained that
it was the responsibilty of the contractor to

FBI reform effort: It may

seem obvious that what cops
should be investigating is
criminal activity. Bui then
there’s the FBI. The National
Committee against Repressive
Legislation reports that in the
past year, several contro¬
versial cases have orovided
examples of the FBI's actions
that "threaten the exercise of
First Amendment rights."

One is the FBI'S "Library
Awareness Program." which
seeks to enlist New York area
librarians to report on "suspi¬
cious" users of library
material. When librarians
protested against this
program, the FBI ran back*
ground checks on 266 people
"to learn if they were backed
by Soviet intelligence
services," according to
NCARL

In other cases, the FBI
admitted to conducting a
three-year surveillance of the
Committee in Solidarity with
the People of El Salvador,
although It found no evidence
of criminal activity: to illegal
disruption, harassment and
invasive surveillance including
wiretaps, burglaries and paid
informants, to collect infor¬
mation on the National
Lawyers' Guild: and to harass¬
ment of a Communist Party
member in 1964.

In response to the FBI's
long history of such activities,
NCARL is campaigning for a
blit, HR50. that would limit FBI
investigations to criminal
activity. This "FBI First
Amendment Protection Act"
now has 27 sponsors in the
House; NCARL is seeking 1 00
sponsors and asks concerned
individuals to urge their
congressional representatives
to join in sponsoring the bill.

AIDS policy priorities:

Noting that we are entering
the second decade of the
AIDS epidemic, the Lobby for
Individual Freedom and
Equality, a statewide coalition
of mere than 65 California
AIDS service providers,
identified its most important
policy goals for the near
future. In order of importance
they are:

* Insurance coverage of
FDA-approved drugs based r i
the physician's choice,

n A comprehensive, consis¬
tent program to prevent AIDS
among intravenous drug
users

■ Prevention and treatment
programs in prisons, including
access to condoms and
bleach,

* Increased MediCal reim¬
bursement rates to hospitals
and other health care pro¬
viders, many of whom now re¬
ject or limit MediCa! cases
because of reimbursement-
rate limits.

■ AIDS education m public
schools.

LAUNCH DRIVE
FOR CHILDREN'S
BUDGET II

THE OCTOBER earthquake continues to
take its toll on San Francisco, in some not-
so-obvious ways*Representatives of 25
groups serving children and youth held a
press conference Dec. 19th to call the
city's attention to the losses suffered
by their programs — and the way those
losses are affecting thousands of children
and youths.

In response both to this immediate crisis
and also to long-standing unmet needs,
Margaret Brodkin, executive director
of Coleman Advocates for Children and
Youth, also used the event to kick off
the group's second annual campaign for
a “Children's Budget/’ calling on the city
to devote $20 million to children’s services
in 1990-91.

Youth agencies represented at the
gathering were hurt by the quake In two
ways: Income from from corporate, foun¬
dation and individual donations, as well as
dty funds, has been diverted to earth¬
quake-relief efforts: at the same time,
some of the program’ facilities have been
damaged or displaced by the earthquake.

Canon Kip, a Mission district communi¬
ty center, for example, provided after¬
school activities in its gymnasium. It is
now dosed to youths so it can serve until
April as a temporary shelter for homdess
men displaced by the earthquake,

“When we had Canon Kip we had

groups, meetings — now everyone is going
their separate way/* said 16-year-old
Bong. Before Canon Kip closed its gym¬
nasium to children. Bong had a part-time
job working for the center, where he
supervised children playing basketball and
ping pong and also served food. “Right
now/* said Bong, “we just walk around
the streets, 1 '

The Children's Self-Help Project, which
runs child-abuse prevention programs, lost
its building to earthquake damage. In the
process of relocating, the group has fallen
behind in fundraising efforts, lost touch
with the kids it was serving and is now
faced with a 300 percent rent increase, said
Pnina Tobin, executive director.

Meanwhile, “corporate foundations are
saying £ we have given all we can/ " said
Garry Bieringer, executive director for San
Francisco Educational Services, a group
that provides tutoring and other support
for more than 600 children at risk of
school failure. “We are asking people to
remember the kids, reach deeper down
and help us out/' said Bieringer. He said
if the present trend continues, youth agen¬
cies will have to reduce their services, and
more children will spend their time “just
walking around the streets" without
needed educational and recreational ser¬
vices.

Brodkin said citizens can help by putting
pressure on the dty to adopt Children's
Budget proposals, through letters to the
mayor and Board of Supervisors. She also
encouraged people to speak for children's
programs at the public budget hearings
city departments will hold in January, in
preparation for submitting their depart¬
mental budgets in February. For more in¬
formation and a schedule of hearings
related to programs for children and
youth, call Coleman Advocates, 641-4362.

Agencies serving children and youth also
depend on a flow of private donations:

provide services for children in San Fran¬
cisco, call The Children's Council of San
Francisco, 864-1881.

BY JIM BALDERSTON

DISASTER
OF THE WEEK

Prevention Point a group of

twenty or so people who make
free, sterile needles available
to San Francisco's estimated
13,000 intravenous drug users
in an attempt to curtail the
spread of AIDS, got busted
twice last week.

tf things don't change soon,
that could be happening a lot
more in the future.

Since November 1983, Pre¬
vention Point's volunteers
have traded dirty needles for
clean In the neighborhoods
most heavily populated by
intravenous drug users: the
Tenderloin, the Mission and
South of Market, Currently
they are exchanging about
2,500 needles a week.

Both the San Francisco
Health Commission and Mayor
Art Agnos have publicly en¬
dorsed the needle-exchange
program.

But there's a problem. State
law prohibits the dispensing of
drug paraphernalia like
syringes.

Doing their part, and recog¬
nizing that Prevention Point is
providing a service to the
City's addict population, the
San Francisco Police have not
aggressively pursued the
group's teams when they
move through neighborhoods.

Yet the police are charged
with enforcing the law. In both
incidents last Wednesday, pol¬
ice officers not familiar with
the program made the arrests.
More will surely occur in the
future.

So what has the city —
which has officially condoned
and endorsed the program —
done to prevent this sort of
arrest from recurring?

Zilch,

There has been no move to
seek a change in the law; no
move to seek some sort of
technical loophole in the exist¬
ing law,

Geoff Merideth. a member of
Prevention Point, told the Bay
Guardian that the city has gone
part of the way in supporting
the program, but still has to
finish the job. 'Ail the responsi¬
ble parties know that this
program should be happening,
but state law makes it illegal.''
he said. "What has the city
done to change that law?"

But, Merideth said, there
are ways to free the police
from the difficult position they
find themselves in. "State law
says that in times of a health
crisis, these laws can be re¬
examined," he said.

Merideth added that a signifi¬
cant number Of the City's new
AIDS cases are intravenous
drug users, and the city must
act quickly. But he observed
that city officials are reluctant
to suck their necks out on the
issue, "in the era of 'Just Say
No,' officials don't want to put
themselves out on a limb," he
said.

The next question is: Will
District Attorney Arlo Smith
elect to prosecute these
cases? If he does, folks, that's
a disaster,

Prop. M; on shaky ground?

DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT in-
terests may be gearing up to use the Oct..
17th earthquake as an excuse to mount an
assault on Proposition M, San Francisco*s
landmark 1986 limit on highrise office
construction.

The downtown folks were never happy
with the fact that the voters approved
Prop. M, and for the past three years,
they’ve been looking for ways to scuttle it.
Editorials and op-ed pieces have appeared
here and there in the city’s daily
newspapers calling for a repeal of Prop.

M, and the Chamber of Commerce maga¬
zine has been thrashing around all manner
of arguments and strategies against It.

But by most indications, the vast ma¬
jority of San Franciscans are pleased with
the law. The downtown arguments have
been sounding more and more silly — high-
rises, the evidence shows, scar the skyline,
devastate the city budget and produce a
net loss of jobs. Until that fateful October
afternoon, it looked as if the developers
were just going to have to live with the
highrise limits, at least for the forseeable
future.

Now, suddenly, there is a new line of at¬
tack: In the wake of the quake, the down¬
town forces are saying, San Francisco
can’t afford these development restric¬
tions. (Of course, that’s a hollow argu¬
ment, too: As the sponsors of Prop. M are
quick to point out, the law does not pre¬
vent people who suffered earthquake dam¬
age from rebuilding. It might, on the other
hand, stop unscrupulous landlords from
tearing down small, damaged buildings
and putting up much bigger new ones.)

But neverthless, the anti-Prop, M cam¬
paign is back in swing. The latest indica¬
tion comes from the San Francisco Com¬
monwealth Club, which will host a panel dis¬
cussion later this month entitled * 4 Rebuild¬
ing: The recent earthquake and Prop. M,”

A news release about the symposium
asks, “How will Proposition M affect the
rebuilding of the city after the Oct. 17th
earthquake?”

Three panelists will bat this subject
around. None of them qualifies even
remotely as a supporter of the measure. In
fact, the panel is stacked with people who
would almost certainly be thrilled to see
Prop. M repealed and runaway develop¬
ment brought back to the city. They are:
Timothy Testa, pro-development lawyer
and lobbyist, David Fitzpatrick, president
of Mar borough California Properties, one
of the city’s largest real estate outfits, and
Ron Duff, senior vice president for cor¬
porate real estate at the Bank of America.

Perhaps a few loudmouthed malcon¬
tents with a different point of view ought
to show up and try to make sure the other
point of view r is heard. The event is slated
for Tuesday, Jan. 23rd. The reception
begins at 4:45 pm, the program at 5:15.

It’s at 595 Market. Admission is $5 for
members, S8 for non-members. Info,:
543-3353.

The jail that won't die

ALTHOUGH PLANS for a new San
Francisco county jail fell apart in 1989, a
new set of proposals has emerged and may
be moving forward early in the year. The
new plans, City Hall sources say, will ap¬
parently examine the possibilty of building
a structure on the site that now is used as
the Hall of Justice parking lot. The plans
also call for expansion of the existing jail
in the Hall of Justice. Past jail expansion
plans have been vigorously resisted by

Supervisor Nancy Walker and Public De¬
fender Jeff Brown, who argue that the
system's chronic overcrowding could be
addressed much better by eliminating the
large percentage of relatively minor crimi¬
nals now locked up . In place of a cell,
they argue, expanded rehabilitation, drug
treatment and counseling programs could
be used to treat many of the people now
in jail.

But the Sheriffs Office, which has the
unpleasant task of actually housing,
feeding and caring for the crowds of in¬
mates that the local cops arrest and the
local judges sentence, isn't ready to throw
in the towel yet. Look for this one to
emerge as one of the first hot battles of
the 1990s.

The aquarium that won't die

THE BAY Conservation and Development
Commission will hold a public hearing
Jan, 18th on the proposed aquarium pro¬
ject at Pier 39.

The project, called Underwater World,
would create a 707,000-galion walk¬
through aquarium on Pier 39, attracting
an estimated L5 million new visitors to the
heavily congested tourist area.

BCDCs Design Review Board has twice
expressed strong objections to the project,
citing its impact on the Pier 39 area. But
the New Zealand developers, represented
by Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, keep
trying to find a way to slide the project
through. In the past, the members of the
commission have given extremely heavy
weight to the recommendations of the
DRB, and a departure from that precedent
would be most unusual. The project has
twice failed to meet repeated concerns ex¬
pressed by the DRB, and the latest cor¬
respondence from the DRB to the project
sponsors indicated that many of the same
problems still exist.

But Mayor Art Agnos has endorsed the
project. Billionaire Robert Bass of Texas is
involved as an investor, as is Chronicle
Ventures, a subsidiary of the San Fran¬
cisco Chronicle.

The Bay Conservation and Develop¬
ment Commission meeting on the project
is open to the public, and public testimony
will be taken. The meeting will be held at
455 Golden Gate, room 1194. The meeting

LOOK FOR the Mission Bay Project — yes, I
know, I’ve said this before — to begin mov¬
ing forward early next year. Housing and
planning activists will be holding meetings
on the development — watch this space
for details.

Some of the opponents of Proposition
P, the China Basin Ballpark initiative,
have seen their reserved parking places at
Candlestick Park taken away, I hear. The
names Kopp, Maher and Hsieh have been
mentioned as some of those forced to
stand in the comer because of their op¬
position.

Former school board member Ben Tom
is again in this fall's race for the Board of
Education — with $8,000 already raised —
as is incumbent Myra Kopf, who has hired
political consultant David Looman to run
her campaign. Tom's fundraising would
seem to indicate he is serious about the
race, and KopPs hiring of Looman would
seem to squelch the persistent rumors that
she has decided not to run.

PRESS BOX

A different kind of parent press

By Jean Teppeimart

A MONG THE people I admire most are those — usual¬
ly teachers or child-care workers or parents — who
have the sensitivity to enter and respect the personal
world of a child, combined with the toughness and sophistica¬
tion to fight for children’s needs in the world of politics and
economics, I’m lucky enough to have known a good number
of people like that, but I know of only one publication; a
small, Oakland-based bimonthly called Children’s Advocate,
Last month my personal enthusiasm for Children’s Ad¬
vocate was confirmed by an influential, national standard¬
setting organization that evaluates literature and other mat¬
erials for children. Parents Choice gave Children’s Advocate
its Gold Award for the best parenting publication. Second-
place awards, Children’s Advocate Editor Daphne Muse
pointed out to me, went to heavily funded commercial maga¬
zines with ties to national publishing empires: Parenting
(owned by Time) and Child (started by the New York Times),
Children’s Advocate, by contrast, was started eleven years
ago by two committed activists who had the idea of turning the
Berkeley Children’s Services’ mimeographed newsletter into a
real newspaper. It has retained its nonprofit status and activist
character while it has grown to a 20-page tabloid with a circula¬
tion of only 10,000 but an influence far beyond that number.

“A lot of people call, pumping us for information,” said
Muse. ‘"Last year 60 Minutes called us three times. It’s not
unusual for larger media organizations to call us — many are
our subscribers. And we seem to get plagarized a lot.”

A LTHOUGH COMBED by the media and studied in
graduate-school libraries, Children’s Advocate speaks
mainly to California parents, teachers and child-care
workers. Stories are written in straightforward language,
often explicitly addressed to parents, with advice on such
issues as where to find resources, how to evaluate child-care
centers and how to advocate for your children in schools and
healthcare systems.

Articles range from analyses of major national trends—in
child care, in poverty among children — to personal reflec¬
tions about experiences as a parent or teacher. Some of the
past year’s issues have focused on themes like child care,
children and the arts, children with disabilities and
multicultural education, all treated on a range of levels from
personal experience to national policy.

Thinking back over my two and a half years of reading
Children’s Advocate, certain articles stand out in my
memory; a collection of pieces probing what multicultural
education really means; a poem about the hearing test in
which the writer learned her baby was deaf; a description of a
parent-involvement program that was hugely successful in
increasing school achievement and family involvement in
reading, in a low-income Hispanic community; the editor’s
personal description of her resolution to stop focusing on
criticism and re-leam to enjoy her teenage daughter.

It’s not just the range and fullness of its discussion of issues
that distinguishes Children’s Advocate, Commercial publi¬
cations for parents often seem to emphasize advice on how to
upscale your child along with the rest of your lifestyle.
Children’s fashion articles describing adorable hand-
embroidered toddler shirts for $45 are my personal pick for
most loathsome, although features on vacations for what
some communities call “ski week” (mid-February to you)
are close — and tips on how to teach your three~year-old to
read are probably the most truly harmful. But even articles
on valid topics like medical advice and finding child care tend
to take on the same success-is-easy tone.

In Children’s Advocate, on the other hand, you can read
the good news about new resources — and the horrifying
news about the health effects of increasing child poverty.
There is advice about “parenting,” but also honest, personal
articles by parents who admit they don’t have all the answers.
The medical advice column advises parents about prob¬

lems: a twelve-year-old who won’t eat breakfast, a toddler
who’s always catching colds. But it also coaches parents in
how to be critical consumers of health care, and criticizes
pediatricians’ traditional role, urging them to be more active¬
ly involved in institutions that serve children.

F LIPPING THROUGH a sample issue — like the back-
to-school issue of Sept./Oct, 1989 — provides a close-
up of the paper’s tone and perspective. The cover story,
“Getting the most from the school system,” describes the
situations of several families whose children’s needs weren’t
being met at school. The usual advice — talk to the teacher
and principal — got them nowhere. The Advocate article
gave a sophisticated description of how r school systems work
and where parents might intervene to find the help their
children need.

Having seen (and experienced) the futility of the more
common opposite approaches to teachers and principals —
meek, yes-ma’am submission or hostile, up-against-the-waJ]
confrontation — 1 especially appreciated the realism and
wisdom of Children’s Advocate’s advice.

Inside that issue were three more school-related articles: a
description of the Richmond School District’s parent-choice
system; a critique of the current cliche that teenagers’ problems
can be solved by teaching them self-esteem; and an evaluation of
Bush as an “education president” (he got an “F”).

The issue included the regular columns on health,
resources for children and legislative reports from Sacramen¬
to and Washington, in addition to news about the progress of
a Supreme Court abortion case and a recent survey of muni¬
cipal government activities relating to children, A centerfold
display featured new, multicultural literature for children
and teachers, and two short articles looked at issues of mid¬
dle-class, white teenagers from two different perspectives.
Two articles discussed more personal parents’ issues: One
gave advice on how working parents can manage keeping in
touch with their children by phone without disrupting their
jobs; the other was a mother’s first-person discussion of
casual acquaintances’ reactions to her daughter’s handicap.
This range and depth of reporting is pulled together by a
tiny editorial staff that currently consists of one editor, one
part-time assistant editor and two interns. They are sup¬
ported politically and editorially by a strong board of direc-
tors and panel of advisors whose members range from
veteran local activists to prominent national experts.

The paper’s biggest chunk of financial support now comes
from the California State Department of Education, with
other grants, ads and subscriptions filling in the gaps.

One of the paper’s strengths is its ability to attract excellent
writers — partly because of the quality of the publication,
but perhaps also because, unlike many activist nonprofits.
Children’s Advocate pays its writers respectable, profes¬
sional fees, “I was a freelance writer for 20 years,” Muse
pointed out.

Muse has been executive editor of the Children’s Advocate
since 1986, She started her career as an activist for children
with an appropriate flourish: getting fired from an ele¬
mentary-school teaching job for the crime of visiting her
students’ parents in their homes, in a low-income, predom¬
inantly black neighborhood in Washington, D.C
As a staff member of a black book store and cultural cen¬
ter, a writer of children’s books, a college teacher and a
mother, she continued to develop her interest and expertise
in children’s issues, especially multicultural children’s liter¬
ature, Working at Children’s Advocate was a natural step.

1 ’What we’re trying to do here,” Muse summarized, “is to
deal with the day-to-day, gut-wrenching issues of working
with children. But it’s not just struggles. We also try to talk
about the joys.”

Making room for death

By David Israels

I N THE 1939 fantasy film On Bor¬
rowed Time, death is personified as
a wily con man whom a dying Lionel
Barrymore outwits for a while, snaring
the rascal in a magical tree.

That vaguely reassuring image sprang
to mind this fall, as I prepared to bust out
of our shaky town shortly after the earth
tried to kill me.

1 was headed for what I thought was
the more stable ground of Manhat¬
tan for a long-avoided visit. Though the
East Coast had been my family home, 1
hadn’t been back east since 1986, when I
sat by mother’s hospital bed on a hot
June afternoon and watched her die. ft
was my first face-to-face encounter with
the power of death*

Since then, as the AIDS epidemic has
killed off some of my closest friends, I
have come to know Lhat power well.
Sometimes 1 fed as if Fm caught in a
sticky web of death* It’s useless to strug¬
gle — you can’t get away*

Psychologists tell us that people who
experience a great loss, like the death of a
loved one, go through a fairly predictable
cycle of grief*

But for many of those caught in the
epidemic, the avalanche of AIDS
deaths in the last few years has made it
almost impossible to complete the cir¬
cuit, to go from initial shock to even¬
tual acceptance. There just isn’t time.

1 have no idea w here 1 roost on the grief
chan* But I’m fairly certain I haven’t
made a fetish out of all this dying. It’s just
that I’ve had to make room for all the
death that has come into my life.

That’s not always so easy to explain.
When friends call to ask how Fm do¬
ing, I never know what to say.

1 don’t know how to tell them that a
ghost visited me the other day as I
stood outside a hamburger joint on
Castro Street*

1 was waiting for my lunch date to
show up but as I looked down Castro, I
saw my old friend Jeffrey Byers racing
up to me. For an instant, I was elated*
But it was only for an instant: That man
coming toward me could not be Jeffrey,
There was no more Jeffrey. I know
because I stood by Jeffrey’s bedside near¬
ly a year ago, feeling the coldnessof death
seep under his skin. He had died 30
minutes earlier* after a 14-momh battle
with AIDS had left him blind and
paralyzed.

EATH HAS become such a
regular part of my gay life it’s
probably no surprise 1 some¬
times grow numb in its presence.

Just the other night, for instance, as
my boyfriend was reaching for another
slice of pizza, l asked him if he
remembered Joseph — “the artist you
didn’t like. He did the first panels for the
Names Project."

“Not really*’’ said William, who
makes it an annoying matter of pride that
he forgets commonplace memories.

“Yes you do," I insisted, “He was the
one we drove back from the river that
first time we stayed there together."

“Yeah?,” said William warily.

At one time William entertained the
idea that I simply stop teUing him when
yet another one of our friends was dead*

4< I saw in the B.A.R.," I said. “He
died while 1 was away.”

As William headed into the kitchen,
my voice trailed after him. “1 didn’t even

1 cant help thinking
about all the ghosts
that now inhabit
my life. Each of
them represents a
death I cannot
shut up about

know he was sick. Would you see if
you’ve got any oregano? Marcello’s
makes the worst pizzas.”

HEN 1 got to Manhattan I was
not surprised to find
reminders of death almost
everywhere, even at the corner news¬
stand.

Few days go by when the New York
Post’s wonderfully lurid front page
doesn’t scream out about shootings,
stabbings, suicides, collapsed buildings,
and, my favorite, a metal pole that fell 10
stories, crunching somebody’s grandma.

Of course, the deadly deeds the Post
serves up are mostly to entertain and
titillate. But I didn’t need to spend 40
cents to make deadi a part of my holiday.
It was already on the itinerary.

I planned a visit to a cemetery deep in
Long Island where my mother, my father
and his mother and father are buried.
And where the only piece of land I own
lies waiting for my coffin.

I hadn’t been to Mount Ararat, just
outside Amityviile, since my mother’s
funeral. To avoid going back there, I had
even let the first anniversary of my
mother’s death pass without holding the
traditional Jewish graveside ceremony.
At the time, I couldn’t bear to fly 3,000
miles to stand around a patch of ground
for a few grief-strewn minutes as a rabbi
and 1 recited the Mourner’s Kaddish* the
prayer for the dead.

But on this trip, I felt propelled by grief
and guilt to make the journey. 1 went on a
day filled with dark clouds. As I stood at

my mother’s grave* the rain began and the
words of the Kaddish flew into the wind .

After I finished my prayers I took a
camera from my bag. I snapped five pic¬
tures: One each of the four grave mark¬
ers, which lie flush to the ground at the
head of the graves, spelling out the names
and death dates of each member of my
family. And one final one of the grave
site, the large marble tombstone
stamped with my family name rising in
the background.

When I told friends what I had done,

I was afraid they’d think my actions
gruesome. But I was certain that
possessing those pictures would help
somehow to loosen the grip that awful
place had on me.

A few nights later as my host, David
Semritc, and I sipped from a pitcherful
of Manhattans and gossip, he told me a
cautionary tale about a man he knew
from the days when sex and drugs ruled
our gay lives.

The man was named Dennis, though
in their Manhattan crowd he was
known as the “wild white woman.”
Dennis was the quintessential seventies
homosexual — a successful florist by
day, an even more successful disco
devotee at night.

In the eighties, after the epidemic
had taken hold, Dennis decided to give
up the fast life. He was infected with
the AIDS virus, though he wasn’t sick.

Moving back to his mother’s home
in upstate New York, he led a safe, if
not exemplary, life. He had little
choice. There was no disco* few drugs
and even less sex in his rural hideaway.
So it came as quite a surprise when
David got a call from another member
of his crowd who said, “I’ve got some
bad news about Dennis,”

By now, we all know what these
preparatory words mean.

Still* David was mystified. “I
thought Dennis’s health was fine,”
David said.

“It was*” the friend told him.
“Dennis was run over by a car.”

N THE plane home, I could’f help
thinking about all the ghosts that
now inhabit my life. Each of them
represents a death I cannot shut up
about. I talk about my deaths. I cry
over them* I remember them. And I
remember what they’ve taught me*

I remember that eight hours before
Jeffrey opened his blind eyes for the
last time* he spoke to me in a voice
strangled by his stroke* “David,” he
said, “I don’t want to die.”

And 1 remember when they let me
back into my mother’s hospital room.
As I waited for her dying to end, I put
my lips close to her. I told her over and
over not to be afraid. I told her it was
okay. That it was okay to die. ■

By Craig McLaughlin

A BOUT THREE years ago, a
convicted felon named
Dannie Martin, serving a
long stretch at Lompoc for
the latest in a long series of
unsuccessful crimes, decided it might be
time to pursue a new career. He'd spent
almost half his life in confinement.

“I failed as a citizen,” he explained,
“and I failed as a bank robber, 1 turned
to writing.”

Like a whole lot of inmates in a
whole lot of California prisons, Martin
decided to start submitting articles to
the San Francisco Chronicle’s Sunday
Punch section, one of the few parts of
the paper that buys freelance material
on a regular basis. His first story was
about AIDS in prison,

Peter Sussman, the section editor,
was not surprised to see yet another
submission from yet another prisoner
arrive in his mailbox. But this one was a
bit different — not per to, not polished,
but decidedly impressive. He contacted
Martin, they reworked the story and
before long, the Chronicle had a regu¬
lar pri so n co rrespo nde n t.

Martin’s formal education was
limited. “He has a high school degree
from Deuel Vocational Institution, a
technical term in correction parlance
that may be translated as 'prison/ ”
Sussman later wrote. But he learned
fast, he had aU the best instincts of a
reporter — and he was on the inside,
where few journalists ever go, seeing
things every day that few journalists
ever see. For thousands of readers in his
rapidly growing fan dub, Martin’s ar¬
ticles opened up a new world in all its
stench, ugliness and brutality.

At first, the prison authorities
treated Martin’s enterprise with
tolerance, if not encouragement. Then
in June, 1988, he crossed the line: He
wrote a piece critical of the warden.
Suddenly, a man who had become a
model prisoner was tossed into solitary
confinement, transferred at random to
prisons as far away as Phoenix and
denied the right to publish articles
under his byline.

With the support of Sussman (and
the endless volunteer legal aid of at¬
torney Jeff Leon), Martin sued the
federal prison bureau, asserting that
the First Amendment did not end at the
prison gate. The case has attracted con¬
siderable attention, but since the federal
prison authorities have virtually re¬
fused to allow' Martin to talk to other
reporters, there have been few inter¬
views with the bank robber who has
dared to argue that free speech belongs
even to those who are not free.

Bui when Martin's case went to trial
in December in U,5, District Court in
San Francisco, he was transferred tem¬
porarily into the custody of Sheriff
Michael Hennessey, Hennessey has
very different attitudes about inmates
and the media, and he gladly allowed a
Bay Guardian reporter to interview
Martin, Excerpts from that interview'
follow.

Bay Guardian: You’ve done a lot of
things in your life, but as far as I can
tell, until you began your current
prison term, you were never a writer.
Why did you start writing?

Dannie Martin: I’ve always had a de¬
sire to be a writer. I had that dream. I
started writing a fairy tale for children,
and I worked on that off and on for
four or five years, and I Finally got it
completed Into a manuscript. But it
was an incident with a squirrel that got
me started.

We used to gather up, maybe eight or
ten of us, near the gun tower and feed
the squirrels. In the gun tower, the man
can lay back in his chair, but when we
walked under there, he had to get up
and w r atch us. Thai drove him nuts, hav¬
ing to get up, and he complained to the
warden, and he poisoned the squirrels.

It was really just a cruel ehickenshit
thing to do. Anyway, as this whole
thing’s going on, I’m thinking, man, if
I ever could be a good enough writer to
expose this kind of stuff to the public,
that’s what I want to do.

Your article about the squirrel was
published eventually, but your first
story was about AIDS, wasn’t it? How
did you gel it into Hie Chronicle?

I was sitting there one day and 1 was
reading a story about AIDS in the paper.
And I told a guy, “Man, I could do better
than that. They don’t even know' what’s

going on in here about AIDS.”

So I’d read [the Chronicle’s] "Sun¬
day Punch,” and I kind of figured the
words they wanted, and I sent it in. And
there came a letter right back, saying
they’re interested in this. And I said,
“Hell, you know', I wonder what else l
could get in there/’ So I wrote some
satire, something like an investigative
story, then some feature-type stories. I
was surprised, I was able to do just
about whatever I tried to do.

More than anything, I w r ant to put a
human voice to the stereotype of a con¬
vict. That’s very important to me. See,
I’ve spent about 30 years in prison. Pm
50 right now. And one thing I’ve no¬
ticed all that time is that there’s a
schism between what people think is
criminal and what really is criminal.

You hear the word ‘criminal” and
people get all these symbols in their
minds. You see a guy on TV, he comes
on the screen for a minute, and he
busts someone’s head, and then he’s
gone. He’s just a hard-looking thug.
He’s got no family, no friends, no one
who cares about him, or he doesn’t
care about anyone.

And so people get this image in their
mind, and when they read about convicts
and criminals, that’s what they' see in their
minds, a thug with no feelings. And you
know it’s not like that. In a prison, you
won’t find more than 20 or 30 of them
out of a population of a thousand.

These are human beings in there, and
so anything I can do to explain what we
are as opposed to that stereotype is
good. And T ve had a lot of people write
me and thank me for that. They say
they had a very different image of what
criminality was, and they appreciate me
explaining thatto them. 1 feel real good
when I get those letters, because that’s
exactly what I’m trying to do, and I think
as a writer that’s what I should be doing.
It’s just as valuable as any kind of writing
1 could do. 1 found it’s not valuable to the
Bureau Of Prisons, though.

Why does il threaten them so much?

You’ve got one angle where a
w arden, he’s got an ego, and he’s a little
tyrant. That’s his fiefdom, he’s the
king there, and his word is law. And
now- here’s a convict, the lowest guy on
the social order, gonna criticize him?

From a larger viewpoint, the view¬
point of people who build prisons, who
work in that industry , who propogate
that industry', the problem they have
with me breaking down stereotypes is
that they’ve built prisons on them
stereotypes. They get money appro¬
priated on them stereotypes. They’ve
played them stereotypes back to the
public for two to three hundred years.
And they don’t need someone like me
in there trying to break those stereo¬
types down and explain them.

So if you change the stereotypes,
you’re eventually going to change the
way we set policy.

Well, if I humanize the stereotype,
w'hy wouldn’t It humanize the policy?
Somewhat, That’s what I’m talking
about. We’re dealing with human be¬
ings, not stereotypes. A lot of laws are
passed on a few bizarre crimes that gel a
lot of attention because they fit the
mold and the stereotype. And even the
press propogates this stereotype. And 1
don’t think they do it maliciously.
They’ve been soaked with this TV and
movie image of convicts and they pro¬
pogate that.

One of the issues that came out in your
court case is the question of bylines and
payments. The BOP is saying that as a
convict you can’t run a buaness — which
means as a freelance writer, you can’t get
money for your stories, and you can’t
have a byline. W’hy is the BOP making
such a fuss about that, and what are you
saying in response?

First, I want to make it clear that I
don’t put that byline on there, I send
them the story. The newspaper puts it
on there. But if l w'as writing anony¬
mously, a reader couldn’t be certain
that this wasn’t a Bureau of Prison
employee writing and saying that he
was a convict. How would they know it
wasn’t Charles Manson writing this?
Or the Nightstalker?

I’m right back in the boat with all
these stereotypes. With my byline, I’ve
built up credibility with my readers. I
couldn’t have done that anonymously.

It was a wonderful feeling when 1 got
the first check, and I felt real mad that
they woudln’t let me have It, because I
didn’t even know I was violating these
regulations. They never said nothing to
Eddie Bunker when he was writing for
the L,A. Times from a federal prison.
Although I don’t think he criticized,
you know,

I found a way to get the money, and
that was real important to me. I felt like,
damn: What I had to say was valuable to
someone. And by some extension of that,
I must be valuable, it enhanced my feel¬
ings about my own ability.

Part of the stated theory of the
Bureau of Prisons is rehabilitation»giv¬
ing people self-worth, the ability to
raise money, to get people out of the
criminal track. By learning how to write,
and developing a market for it, you have
rehabilitated yourself at some level. Isn’t
that something they' ought to be encour¬
aging?

I definitely feel they should be en¬
couraging me. I tell you, they’re putting
all sorts of people on the stand saying I
could’ve been much better off going into
industry, working in a factory.

But let me ask you: You’ve got a
Bureau of Prisons here, they run
prisons, they keep people in prisons,
they’re responsible for the security of
them, and what would happen if they
rehabilitated everyone In them prisons?
They wouldn’t have no prisons. There
wouldn’t be no BOP.

Another thing about that: You’ve
got people in these cable shops making
these cables for rockets. That’s the
main prison industry, for the Defense
Department. They make cables. Well,
these guys, they learn to solder these
cables, put them together. Some of it is
pretty intricate work. But not one of
them guys is employable outside of that
trade. Not a one of them.

You let them go to McDonnell-
Douglas and try to get a job and they41
tell them they can’t get the security
clearance. They're training them to do
defense jobs that they could not pos¬
sibly get on the outside* They don't
even take a viable trade out that gate,
and the BOP knows that*

So that shows me right there that that’s
their own self-interest. The money they
make from that builds new prisons, it
propogates their agenda. It doesn't do a
thing for the people that work,

A lot of people talked on the stand
during your case about prisoners mak¬
ing a lot of money doing hobby crafts,
such as building docks or making
paintings* Has your case made it more
difficult for those people to make
money?

What’s happened, and the way my
case impinges on them, is if they prevail
in what they're trying to do in court, it
would hurt them. Because they have to
admit that them guys are allowed to
makemoney, and some of them make a
lot of money* So I'm contending that
my writing is art, just like what they do
is an.

But the BOP is willing to stop all of
them from hobbying to stop me from
writing. In other words* if my legal theory
that my writing is art* just like their hobby
work is art, and I'm entitled to do what I
want with it* just as they are, they'll put all
kinds of restrictions and sanctions on
them to keep me from writing.

There was the “Gulag Mentality”
piece you did* That was the one that got
you thrown into the hole?

Yes, Out of those 20 art ides I've writ¬
ten prior to that, maybe one or two of
them were critical* They were about
stuff that happened maybe 20-30 years
ago* The way I would say it is they
didn’t punish me until I criticized. Peo¬
ple that encourage me when I eulogize
should be aware that I also have the
right to criticize. They encouraged my
writing as long as I didn't criticize. I
wrote one about guards, *‘prisoners on
the other side of the bar*” They put it
on their bulletin board and shook my
hand* thanking me for writing it. When
I criticize, there comes the hammer on
my head.

They put you in the hole, then you
were out a week, and then they trans¬
ferred you. How did that come down?

They just shanghaied me* I was out
playing handball. Two cops walked up,
cuffed me, took me out to the front
gate, put me in a station wagon, and 1
was gone.

You ever see anything like that hap¬
pen before?

Yeah, in a real bad riot, they’ll get rid
of a ringleader, but very seldom. My
property's all there in the house* My
wrist watch is hanging there on the
fence in the handball court.

What do you think is the most im¬
portant, best piece that you've done,
that’s done what you've done best?

One would be the John Chaffee art¬
icle. The Chaffee one was the one
where a prisoner died of a brain tumor.
They had this big investigation going.
They told the press* and the press come
down on this pretty good, It looked like
they murdered the man, and it still
looks like that to me*

Pve seen it happen a lot Of times in

prison* but no one ever had the voice to
tell it. I told that story, they said they
would have the investigation* They had
the investigation, someone wanted to
know the result, they said they’re going
to have another investigation* They
didn’t like that one or something*

They had another investigation, and
they told the press they would have a
press conference as soon as they deter¬
mined the facts, I think five or six months
went by and the press told them,
“Hey * when are you having this press
conference/’ and they told them they’d
have to file under Freedom of Informa¬
tion to get this information. That’s where
that went* It went into a black hole.

So their FOI request has been
denied*

You can’t get Freedom of Information
from the Bureau of Prisons. So when
they tell you to file those, it*s ludicrous.
They’ll stall you out of your shoes.

The way they’re prosecuting my
case, too, they’ve stalled it as long as
they could, and now they don't know
what to do. They’ve got a case here in
their laps, and I don’t see a rhyme or
reason of how they’re defending it.
There’s some things to me about this trial
that are kind of funny. Like they’re up
there trying to define a reporter* and it
turns out trying to define a reporter is like
trying to define pornography.

What ideas do you have about where
you want to head as a writer?

I want to carve out enough of a niche
for myself in writing that I can sustain
myself on that, so I could make a living
without having to go back to prison*
I’m tired, you know* and I’d like to live
in freedom the rest of my life. And I want
to be able to support myself by writing* I
don’t want to have to be driving a cab,
too, working and trying to write* I want
to be able to write, and I hope by the time
I get out, Ffl be doing that*

But as far as the subject matter, I
plan to always stay with this subject
matter, because I think there’s a gold¬
mine Of information, and all you have
to do is mine it. It goes on forever. Our
whole history of criminality is just
waiting there* There’s not that many
people who have been through the mill
like I have* and observed it enough, and
still come out with enough sense to
write about it* I’m Lucky in that regard,

I have tried to define the convict in
his natural habitat in a mainstream
newspaper, and to my knowledge
that’s never been done, and I think it’s
something that’s always needed to be
done. That’s pretty much my goal.

How do you write in jail?

On a yellow legal pad* I’m not al¬
lowed to have a typewriter in a federal
prison. No telling what kind of evil a
typewriter could do if you got one*
They won’t allow it.

You did an article that talked about
“What’s a nice guy like you doing in a
place like this?”

I compare that question to asking a
prostitute, “What’s a nice girl like you
doing in a place like this?” If you think
about it, you’re right back to that
stereotype. People have stereotypes of
prostitutes. They see what they think’s
a nice woman in a whorehouse and they
say, “Damn* how*d you get here?”
Because she don’t fit that stereotype*
And I’m no different. I’d say in fact,
most convicts are more like me than
they are those stereotypes people have*
They just aren’t writers*

What prompted you to start robbing
banks?

Well, I’d been smuggling drugs, and
I didn’t want to get back into that. And
I had a little help from a guy telling me
how lucrative that was, how easy it was
to rob banks. I decided to try a new line
of business. 1 wasn’t much better at
that than I was smuggling drugs* I think
I write better than I did either one of
those. ■

A YANQUI XMAS IN PANAMA

In the United States, politicians and editorial writers were overwhelmingly behind
the invasion of Panama. South of the border, it was a very different story

By John Ross

MEXICO CITY

Y ANQUIS Bombardleran
Panama” barked the big
black La Joumada head¬
lines. “The only response
must be the breaking of
relations between all of Latin America
and the United Slates" began the left
hand column on the front page of
Excelsior, Mexico’s New York Times.
The Christmas Invasion of Panama —
the Mexican press never called it
anything but an “invasion" — had
been launched after I am Mexico City
time. Now I hunkered at the circular
counter in the Cafe La Blanca as 1 have
every morning for three years.

“Mister Bush is making a lot of mis¬
chief for us today,” the Maestro sug¬
gested on my left. Don Armando
sloshed the cafe con leche onto the
counter and wondered if 1 was heading
south. “Yours is such a big country,”
mused La Sarita, a plump, 70-year-old
peroxide blonde who sells “fantasy"
jewelry on the streets surrounding the
Zocolo, “theirs is such a small coun¬
try_" “Que lastima!” (“What a

shame!”) exhaled the first of three
retired professors on her right.
“Tsktsk, tsktsk." “So this is how the
gringos will celebrate Navidadf snarled
Don David, a fiercely mustachioed
government bureaucrat on their right.
The huevos rancheros hit the counter

with what I took to be unmistakeable
hostility,

I began to study the text of dis¬
patches written under cover of dark¬
ness by pool reporters carefully selected
to distort the truth. Much as in
Salvador last month, U.S. planes were
bombing civilian neighborhoods.
There were no civilian casualty figures,
“A lot of civiles must be dead,” hissed
the Maestro through yellowing false
teeth, “soon it will be like Vietnam.
Once the Yanquis go into a place, it is
very difficult for them to get out again,
no?" 1 paid up, wished the breakfast
club good digestion, and sidled to the
door. It felt like every' eye in La Bianca
was glued to my back.

That’s the way it felt in Mexico City
on Day One of the biggest U.S, inva¬
sion of Latin America since the sacking
of tiny Grenada. The resentful glares
and sibilant anger were very dose to the
surface of a society that prides itself on
its cordura (politeness).

1 have been in Latin America before
during such outbursts of U.S. military
arrogance. The Uruapan marketplace
seemed a dangerous enclave on the
morning CIA mercenaries bin he beach
at Playa Giron, Cuba, in ’61. When
U.S. troops gunned down 21 Panama¬
nian students trying to raise the flag of
their country in the occupied Canal
Zone the next year, I hauled off on a fat
Bermuda-shorn-wearing tourist in
Guadalajara. During the last U.S.

bombing of Libya, I climbed up on an
ancient train waiting at the foot of
Machu Picchu and bought the bad
news in a Lima paper sold to me by a
crippled Indian child. YANKS KILL
QADDAFI’S DAUGHTER, read the
headlines.

Since 1492, invaders from the north
have attacked Latin America 200 times
(Eduardo Galiano) or 700 times (Pablo
Gonzalez Casanova) or 4,000 times
(Gregorio Selser). Nicaragua lists 44
documented Yanqui invasions of its
turf. Mexico builds granite monuments
and celebrates patriotic holidays to
honor resisters to Yanqui aggression
against The Fatherland. Panama has
suffered 11 of these forced penetrations
at such tender conjunctions in its his¬
tory as Nov, 2, 1903, when Teddy
Roosevelt used his Big Stick to pry the
land loose from Colombia and gouge
out his infamous canal.

For all the current focus on what
Pablo Neruda called “this slender neck
of the Americas,” I know embarrass¬
ingly little about the Panamanian re¬
ality, having only touched down there
twice on flights further south. 1 am told
the dollar is the official currency, a fac¬
toid that never fails to provoke my
persona] indigestion. I am told that half
the population is black and that serious
Indians still inhabit a disappearing
jungle. I am told that the major U.S,
intelligence-gathering facility on the
continent is situated at Balboa Heights

on the Pacific end of the canal -
Jimmy Carter’s treaty-making with
General Torrijos represented the best
in North American policy in this or any
other century. Reagan’s laying on of
bloody hands in Central America
wrecked these good intentions. Now'
we are being treated to George Bush's
macho shadow' war against an old bus¬
iness associate and presumably devas¬
tating witness in any legal proceeding
that may evolve from this caper. “I
have Bush by the balls,” Noriega told
Newsweek last year.

General Manuel Antonio “ Cara De
Pina "(“Pineapple Face") Noriega has
a somewhat sinister resume for a Latin
American revolutionary idol. He began
his checkered rise to the surface by
beating up communist organizers on
United Fruit banana plantations, an
achievement that soon won him high
CIA kudos. He later is said to have
saved the canal for his handlers by
sabotaging General Torrijos’s airplane
in mid-sky. Soon after, he was pro¬
moted to Chief Leaky Valve in the
Bush-Reagan Contra pipeline, funnel-
ing cash, arms caches, classified infor¬
mation and tons of cocaine to the four
winds and up his own proboscis.

One bitter irony of this latest U.S.
aggression in Panama is that so dubi¬
ous a crocodile has suddenly been
elevated to the level of a Simon Bolivar
or Fidel Castro in the eyes of many of
his co-conspirators, aka the people of

Latin America. Headlines here in Mex¬
ico City were soon measuring the length
of the resistance by Noriega’s Dignity
Battalions to the Yanqui invasion in
hours, inky testimony to the transfor¬
mation of a mid-level Latin dictator in¬
to a revolutionary' martyr.

On Day Two of the Invasion, La
Joumada ran a fascinating interview-
with this new apostle of southern
liberation, in which he remarked on the
massacre of the citizens of Macon do by
the U.S. banana barons, a crucial mo¬
ment in Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s One
Hundred Years of Solitude. From hi s
jungle survival school up in Pana-
jungia, General Pineapple Cara swore
upon his mother’s grave that no such
blood w r as going to flow here in
Panama. In this latest slashing open of
Latin America’s veins, magic realism
has meshed with today’s headlines,

T HE PANAMANIAN drama
was transmitted to Mexico on
the nation’s two major televi¬
sion outlets. Little film was
available, and that only from
the Pentagon, so file footage was con¬
stantly repeated, leaving viewers con¬
fused as to where in time they watched.
TeleVisa, the gargantuan communica¬
tions network, flashed live press con¬
ferences with Bush and Cheney and a
number of cartoon generals hour after

hour — the endless repeats of George
Bush alternately grinning and grimac¬
ing, and exhibiting altogether inappro¬
priate behavior for so serious a turn of
events, did little to enhance gringo
credibility south of the border.

National Security Council Chief
Colin Powell's intentions of "pacifica¬
tion’ 1 rattled a lot of bones in Mexican
graveyards — U.S. incursions into this
country have often been so labeled.
Cheney’s captioning of Noriega as “a
fugitive from justice”druinmed up in¬
stant recall of Pancho Villa. The splil-
screen-a-la- Woodstock display of U ,S.
flag-d raped dead being returned to
Texas while George Bush waved his long
arms like a folksy undertaker defined
the spectacle for many Mexican viewers.

In contrast with TeleVisa’s north¬
ward twist, Mexican government tele¬
vision channels turned their cameras
south to sample the cresting tide of the
resentment of the hemisphere’s presi¬
dents. The Mexican government’s own
reactions to the landing of 30,000 Yan-
qui troops in Panama (the Pentagon
said 22,000) were eagerly anticipated as
a test of where President Carlos
Salinas’s allegiances would fall —
Salinas has struck a number of impor¬
tant commercial deals favorable to
U .S. economic interests in recent months,
in return for a slight break on Mexico’s
$U0 billion foreign debt. Indeed,
in the dawn hours of Day One, there
had been a phone call to Los Pinos, the
Mexican White House, from George
Bush. U.S. ambassador John
Negroponte, the infamous
"Proconsul” who has engineered im¬
portant diplomatic moments in both
Vietnamese and Central American
stress situations, was busy burning up
the back channels, trying to blackmail
the Salinas government into recog¬
nizing as president of Panama an inef¬
fectual businessman elected by virtue
of a $10 million illegal campaign con¬
tribution from the CIA-managed “Na¬
tional Endowment for Democracy,”
and sworn in that very morning at a
U.S. military base somewhere in Cen¬
tral America.

Shortly before noon on the first
morning of the Invasion, in the grand
tradition of its usually exemplary anti¬
imperialist foreign policy (as con¬
trasted to its reactionary one-party-
state internal rule), the Mexican presi¬
dency issued its “firmest condemna¬
tion” of U.S. aggression in Panama.
The deal was perhaps hedged by a tem¬
porary increase in salesof some 300,000
barrels of oil a day to keep the U.S. at
room temperature during the winter
cold snap while pipelines through
Panama were down.

By mid-afternoon, five hunger
strikers from the thieves-kitchen neigh¬
borhood of Tepito, “damnificados”
from the cataclysmic 1985 earthquake
here, were sitting down in front of the
U.S. embassy on Reforma Boulevard,
where helmeted “granaderos” waving
fat batons behind plexiglass shields
took up positions to defend this stolid
outpost of Fortress America from the
indignation of the masses south of the
Rio Bravo.

Elsewhere also, the raw nerve of in¬
dignation pulsed loudly in equatorial
climes. Peru’s Alan Garcia called back
his ambassador from Washington
(soon he would suspend U.S. anti-drug
operations in his country, saying he
could not treat with an aggressor na¬
tion). Magic realist Mario Vargas
Llosa, the rightist favorite to replace
Garcia in February elections, however,
was caught applauding Bush’s heavy
footfalls. In Brazil, Latin America’s
largest nation, where a bearded, nine-
fingered machinist from Sao Paolo

named Lula nearly won the presidency
last week, outgoing Jose Samey angrily
condemned the Invasion. Argentina’s
Mernmon pronounced similar sen¬
timents, and across the Andes, even
Captain General Auguste Pinochet,
whose 15-year gray grip on power
rested upon similar homicidal interven¬
tion, unexpectedly sneered at the U.S.
Invasion of Panama — the incoming
president, Patricio Aylwin, who shares
complicity for the downfall of Salvador
Allende, cast a cautious negative as
well. Up in Colombia, VirgiHo Barco,
perhaps contemplating an alliance be¬
tween General Noriega and The Extra-
dictables — a group that has shown it¬
self capable of blowing the National
Secret Police sky high, recommended
that George Bush not travel to
Cartagena for a much-ballyhooed drug
summit. Next door, Carlos Andres
Perez, who is desperately attempting to
cut a Mexico-like deal with Bush on

I'm beginning to
understand, why
this land is a great
one: No other
genius on earth
can crank out
such perverse

scenarios.

Venezuela’s zooming debt, vacillated
like a palsied scarecrow and could not
be counted in Washington’s camp.
Only Freddy Cristiani, whose murder-
loving military is being fueled each day
by a cool million in U.S. bucks, and
which had set the pace for bombing
civilian populations in November (1*100
dead) was an unqualified aye vote for
the Bush-Quayle rape-kidnap of
Panama.

Inside Mexico itself, a nation that
of late has been deeply divided by the
ruling PRI Party’s unwillingness to
cede a millimeter of power, political
opposition members on the right and
left exchanged parliamentary embraces
with their arch-rivals in the center,
hung “Fuera Yanquis De Panama /”
banners from the Chamber of Depu¬
ties’ rostrum and unanimously con¬
demned the invasion of a neighbor na¬
tion. “These deaths are ours,” wrote
Miguel Angel Granados Chapa* direc¬
tor of La Joumada, speaking of
civilian casualties in Panama on the
morning after, "because they could
just as well be us, forced as we are to
share a border with a neighbor that has
no respect for international law .... ”

Several days later, the Organization
of American Stales, a dubious institu¬
tion formulated by Washington 40
years ago to invoke the much-hated
Monroe Doctrine against Red con¬
tamination of the Western Hemisphere
(Latin Americans sometimes refer to
the OAS as “The Ministry of Servi¬
tude”), voted 20 to 1 (the U.S.) to
“deeply deplore” the U.S. exhibition
of military might in Panama. Like no
other aggression since Reagan’s fool¬
hardy endorsement of Thatcher’s crazed
crusade in the Malvinas in 1982, the U.S.
invasion of Panama had united the conti¬
nent against Washington.

The view from Mexico City of events
further south had grown so distinct
from the hogwash being fed the U.S.
viewing public that even Reagan’s old
propaganda director David Gergen re¬

marked on the difference during a
McNeil-Lehrer interview: "They say
here that Norie&a has never declared
war on us,” he gulped nervously —
Noriega hadn’t (he simply placed the
Panamanian Defense Force on war-
alert because of the impending U.S. in¬
vasion). "The Mexicans seem a lot
more concerned with civilian casualties
than U.S. losses,” marveled the gringo
Gergen. One other unrep orted-in-
North America-item: Noriega had
been given 72 hours notice of the inva¬
sion (according to the Panamanian mil¬
itary press spokesman in conversations
with Mexican television, the first
mom) — a stroke that bends one toward
the conclusion that a deal with Bush
was long ago cut, “I got him by the
balls,” Cara de Pina had boasted.

In La Blanca for tamales on the first
evening of the Invasion, a slightly tipsy
gentleman next to me hiccuped in¬
dignantly and wanted to know why my
country had dropped bombs upon
Panama. “1 mean the real reason,

mister, not the ones they say -” He

had a point — the reasons being
hawked by U.S, advance men varied
from hour to hour. Sometimes they
touched upon the alleged threat of sex¬
ual assault on a U.S. white woman by
Panamanian Defense Forces (who are
largely black) — the fact that a U.S.
soldier had killed a Panamanian coun¬
terpart in this same time frame escaped
U.S. media notice. Then there was the
need to protect U.S. lives, a lie once
told about Grenada, or the bogus
pretext that Noriega had declared war
on the U.S. Sometimes, Marlon
Fltzwater would wax on in the much-
abused name of democracy about the
aborted presidential vote — but that
only made Mexicans wonder why the
U.S. has so enthusiastically embraced
their own president, who, after all, as¬
cended to that high office via heavy-
handed public fraud.

Continued control of the canal and
the safeguarding of the Southern Com¬
mand’s listening posts were more
plausible excuses, A trial run for
cutting-edge war toys like the Stealth
Bomber? The suggestion of a smoke¬
screen to mask even more devious in¬
terventions in Salvador and Nicaragua
is congruent with U.S. imperial
logic.

"You know what I think?” inter¬
rupted the drunk on the next stool at
La Blanca, “I think Bush and Noriega
made a big deal for La Droga and now
Bush is afraid Noriega will rat him
out.”

T housands of furious

Mexico City residents, shout¬
ing that the “Gringos must
die, ” were gathering near the
U.S. embassy the night I left
that capitol. Being a Norte Americano
below the Rio Bravo is full of such
hostile instances, fueled as they are by
the insistent stupidity of folks like
George Bush, Frustration scampered
through my arteries like some furious,
caged animal.

The moment Mexicana 146 touched
down at SFO I bolted U.S. Customs,
trying desperately to conceal my con¬
tempt for the Yanqui functionaries,
nearly bowled over my companera
waiting outside the shiny doors, dashed
through the Christmas-clogged ter¬
minal and stood in the U.S, street,
howling over and over again, "God¬
damn Yanquis, get the fuck out of
Panama I” at a decibel level sometimes
associated with disturbing the peace.
Then, like any other apparently stable
citizen, I went home to watch the crisis
on TV.

Here, at the end of a difficult decade,
the United States of North America still
manages to rise like a spired crystal
palace above the rocky desert of geopo¬
litical reality, the southern masses peer¬
ing in above our window sills with in¬
vidious, frightened, hungry eyes. We

Americans recline a! Christmas time,
staring back through windows that of¬
fer up a vision of the world outside.

The noise seeping from these
screens is steady, warm, comforting—a
white murmur of white Xmas cheer,
white lies, white people in white
garden clothes standing uneasy sentry
on suburban lawns, their automatic
pistols cocked and scanning the eerily
empty avenue. They are speaking
English in short, dipped foreign ac¬
cents and they are not South Africans.
This is Panama City, two days before
Navidad 1989, and the wealthy are ner¬
vous because Manuel Noriega is still at
large and the armed poor are looting
the commercial districts.

Short bursts of machine-gun fire are
making matters sticky for the Yanqui in¬
vaders, who list their dead at 25. No
civilian casualty figures are available yet.
The voiceover maintains a comforting
drumbeat: "drugs, terrorism, Noriega,

Being a Norte
Americano below
the Rio Bravo is
full of hostile
instances, fueled
by the insistent
stupidity of folks
like George Bush.

drugs, terrorism, democracy-”

Watching Panama from this side of
the screen is a seamless video ex¬
perience, punctuated by pleasant pit-
stops for insurance and light beverages
and toilet-bowl cleaners — a sanitized,
Anglicized event that the whole family
can understand and enjoy around the
Yuletide fire. Telling the homefolks
what they want to hear at Xmastime is
Santa’s gift to a damaged national ego
only beginning to comprehend that the
American Century is over.

The comforting way in which the In¬
vasion of Panama is being presented
has much to do with successful Pen¬
tagon press management. On the
ground, access is limited to the English-
speaking corporate media, and only
pool reporters are allowed to witness
Pentagon-staged events. Latin re¬
porters and U.S. independents were
early on threatened with arrest for ven¬
turing where the U.S. military did not
want the news reported. A photog¬
rapher for El Pais — Spain’s and
perhaps Europe’s most important daily
— was gunned down by rounds fired
from a Yanqui tank in front of the
Marriott Hotel on the second morning
of the Invasion, to underscore the rules
of reporting. For the local press, mat¬
ters were more difficult: Radio Na¬
tional was blasted off the air by U.S.
artillery after broadcasting a message
from General Noriega, The Pentagon
seal replaced the talking heads and
beauty contests on all Panamanian tel¬
evision channels.

Only American accents were heard
at the daily press briefings, and they
never asked questions that scratched at
the shaky premise of the Invasion.
From start to finish, these seances were
orchestrated to induce only queries
about U.S. casualties (never Panama¬
nian ones, which Mexican papers re¬
ported at 500 in the first hours of the as¬
sault), Noriega’s whereabouts, the
length of time North American troops
might be bogged down in this jungle.

M eanwhile, a curious

sort of North American
Christmas fluttered down
over Panama for a few
days. Suddenly, after
years of barbarous austerity imposed
upon the poor o f Panama by U. S. pres¬
idential sanctions designed to force
revolt by starvation, the padres were
now permitted to go shopping. Thin
people in short pants hauled off the
bedroom sets and sacks of flour, the
refrigeraiors and the bacon and the big-
screen TVs. “Viva Bush,” they shouted
for the cameras, mad with made-in-
the-U.S.A, consumer joy. “A Christ¬
mas present from your president,”
gloated a man with a new knife sharp¬
ener encountered by a wire service
reporter. One wonders what the ex¬
change rate on small lethal appliances
was in Panama City last week.

Leaflets offering $150 per weapon
turned in to U.S. troops and a million-
buck “bounty” on Noriega’s head (the
hotline number got you a bored Wash¬
ington DEA secretary) drifted down
like large, phony snowflakes over the
devastated slum of El Choriilo, where
top-secret Stealth bombers had
dropped bombs big enough to blow
Vietnam-size craters in this ancient
neighborhood. U.S. military person-
nel t disguised as Santa Clauses, were al¬
ready visiting the 10,000 refugees over¬
running the Operation Just Cause
relocation camps.

Now it is Christmas Eve in Panama
City, an unlikely locale for a Christian
passion play, and the Brazilian women
are roasting turkeys at Noriega’s villa, a
mile down the boulevard from the
Marriott Hotel, where he, too, has
been watching the world clamor on his
satellite dish, apparently since
Wednesday.

The Papel Nuncio sends out a big
black limousine to pick up the General
in front of a Dairy Queen, and he is
sped in from the cold to the Vatican’s
bosom on the very night that Christ the
Savior is birthed. We are informed of
this unlikely twist of events two
minutes before halftime, the ’49ers
shutting out the dread Bears of
Chicago. Later on, on the CNN panels
inside the Crystal Palace, the Pope is
leading a perfumed procession through
a steamy, chanting Saint Peter’s
Cathedral.

I am beginning to understand why
this land is a great one. No other
genius on earth can crank out such
perverse scenarios.

As the new year washes in over us,
the omnipresent screens are reminding
us how the old one was shown, whai the
year and the decade looked like in our
eyes, the last (North) American decade
in this last (North) Ameri can century. Five
hundred years after the first northern
slavetrader showed up in what has come
to be called erroneously 4 ’The Americas, 1 ’
power is at last slipping east and west.
To our south, the nations that have lost
a decade to their foreign debts and can
no longer even adequately feed their
own people have just learned their first
lesson abut how Yanqui imperialism is
going to behave in the ’90s — that it is as
brutal and arrogant as history has t aught
us, only now it is more squeezed, its
alternatives fewer, the finger more firm¬
ly locked around the trigger than ever.

Back in the Ice Palace, images of the
decade whisk by like vacation slides.
Amidst the file footage of exploding
spaceships, ayatollahs ranting, Oliver
North lying, Gorby laughing and the
Berlin Wall being smashed into the dust
of history, is one of young GIs from
Fort Ord, slogging painfully through
the jungle quicksand of Central Amer¬
ica at Christmastime, those ridiculous
swatches of camou tacked to their iron-
pot helmets. They are sweating profuse¬
ly, searching out the vegetation through
which they move with worried eyes.
They appear lost. It is an ominous image
with which to begin anew decade. ■

‘A Landlord Visits Her Property’

Returning, the landlord finds smoke

rising from the stem

of incense. She wonders

at the tenants' belongings. Plastic toys

scattered like petals. Snapshots

tilted against a bureau, taped on mirrors.

She sees the closet

accepting a renter 1 s coat;

walls owning their possessions.

In a room where once she coiled
smooth legs around a lover,
growing into him like wisteria,
the smell of her own sex
has been replaced.

She attends to the property
but did not expea this fear
of the forgetting.

Counting chances left, she
slides fingers down the seam
that joins ceiling to floor.

Disturbing cushions, peels
back corners of a rug.

Presses the oils from her hand
into the door she doses to leave.

’slow fire’

we stopped our talking and sat on the steps of the old mission
under the spreading arms of a pomegranate tree, hanging fruit
split from the hot sun.

there was nothing to say, nothing else we could do, we had been
crying, crying with no end, tears falling on hot stones, twisting
down our cheeks,

we tried awkwardly to console each other, embraces pricking our
skin, empty arms, climbing this painful ladder step by step.

we take our cameras out from the trunk of the car and walk about
separately in search of photographs,

everything going or gone, t focus my camera on a huge green
agave, its sword-like leaves dance like slow fire. Through the
view-finder I frame a confused mass of spears each wearing a saw
toothed imprint, a line of purple tipped thorns,

I photograph the two dried flower stalks reaching high above the
giant succulent, I'm hoping the camera will catch the marbled
sky.

I photograph a large flat stone used in the preparation of com
meal. Shadows begin to fill the holes worn from grinding, the
sunlight rests on the coarse texture,

I photograph a grape vine, a single green branch grows from an
ancient gnarled trunk, the leaves are gray with dust and thirst.

I photograph a rusting chain lying limp on a chunk of granite,
its ends driven and embedded in the dappled rock.

a manzanita bush is weeping, leaves gather under its apron, red
branches fan out in a network of arteries and veins.

we meet back at the entrance of the old adobe church, we sit
together in silence, our cameras dumb and sated.

THE BAY GUARDIAN’S

FIFTH ANNUAL

POETRY CONTEST

HE SAN Francisco Bay Guard¬

ian began publishing local poetry with its
first issue in 1966* arid Punched rhe poetry
contest five years ago to showcase and
encourage the work of Bay Area poets. As
the nearly 1,200 entries tn the 1989 contest
demonstrate, the poetry community of the
Bay Area is as lively and vibrant as it was
two decades ago *

This year is the first time the poetry con¬
test has an official co-sponsor — Small
Press Traffic, a nonprofit bookstore and
literary’ arts center. Katharine Rarer is the
director of Small Press Traffic (and one of
this year’s contest judges,), and brought to
the contest an intense passion for and
knowledge of Bay Area poetry. Small Press
Traffic is unique among Bay Area book¬
stores; In addition to carrying a wide selec¬
tion of small press publications and works
by both local and national poets, it sponsors
two reading series, conducts writing and
arts-related workshops and provides a wide
range of resources to Bay Area writers. For
more information about Small Press Traf¬
fic, see the resource guide on page 25*

Our other judges this year were Francisco
X* Alarcon, rhe president of Central
Chicano de Escritores, and Michael Sykes,
the editor and publisher of Floating Island
Publications, a Point Reyes-based press*

For the second year in a row, we had a
panel of five screeners, who each read
more than 200 poems. They then chose ap¬
prox tTna tel y 40 poems each, and each judge
received the same 200 poems. Our
screeners were Catalina Cariaga, a member
of the board of directors and a contributing
writer at Poetry Flash, and a member of the
Kearny Street Workshop; J* Mai com Garcia,
a co-editor at both Five Fingers Review
and By No Means; Thoreau Lovell, a co-
editor at Five Fingers Review; Tede Mat¬
thews, a Modern Times Bookstore collec¬
ts ve member; and Sharman Murphy, a win¬
ner of the 1988 Bay Guardian Poetry Con¬
test*

The judges were impressed with the qual¬
ity and variety of the entries, and each found
some favorites among the finalists. They
were all encouraged and pleased by the
variety of talents displayed by the entries.

In addition to presenting the winners of
the contest, we've compiled a resource
guide (beginning on page 25) for local
poets, including locally based literary jour¬
nals , bookstores that carry a wide selec¬
tion of local poets and a list of places spon¬
soring open readings in the Bay Area.

Honorable Mention
SUSAN TERENCE
’Continual Good Luck'

Susm Terence has wanted to be a
writer since the fourth grade, when
her brother, a newspaper editor,
brought her poems to the newsroom
and proudly passed them around Her
early start as a poet has influenced her
career. Terence currently acts as
the San Francisco area coordinator
for Poets in the Schools, a group of
1 2 $ poets in California that reaches
20,000 kids and teenagers in Calif or*
nla public school
Terence moved to San Francisco
S/i years ago from her hometown
of Tucson. Arizona, where she also
went to college and taught English
and performing arcs.

The poem "Continual Good
Luck" springs from Terence's ex-
pemences working with Hmong
children in Visalia, where she did a
two-month theatrical teaching
residency. The Hmong. she says, are
a family-oriented Southeast Asian
tribe. Many of her students had to
flee their countries, and thetr poems
and stories were agonizing. Terence
says that writing poetry fulfilled two
purposes for these kids: It was
cathartic for them to wnte about
their experiences, and it gave the
reader a better understanding of
their situation. “Writing ts a magical
way for kids to fed extraordinary
selfesteem and recognize how im¬
portant they are," She is currently
working for Poets in the Schools at
Bryant school, and sends her
students there a special hello.

Waldman says he has been writing
poetry since childhood, when he
listened to rock'n'roll records his
father brought home from New

Waldron defiles poetry as "dre ex¬

Black
Leather
and Berets

By Laura Brill

T wenty years ago it

would have been impos¬
sible to go to a Bay Area
poetry reading and hear a
poem about a political
demonstration during which protesters
of US. policy in Central America
chanted “FMLN,” only to be
misunderstood by office workers who
wondered why so many people on the
streets were so worried about phlegm.
As times change* however* so do poets*
and each generation and community
must establish new institutions to serve
its needs.

Two recent additions to the Bay
Area poetry scene. Poetry Above
Paradise and the Hip Books poetry
reading series, offer an unconven¬
tional, new atmosphere in which local
poets can share their work with each
other and with the community* The
poets who read at these events often
combine theatrical and musical ele¬
ments with their poetry* creating an ef¬
fect that can be accessible and enter¬
taining even for audiences new to the

poetry reading scene. Both series pre¬
sent featured poets and allocate a por¬
tion of time for open mike readings.

For poets who are just starting out
and looking to gain wider recognition* at¬
tending poetry readings and reading
work at open mike nights can be one of
the best ways to break into the Bay
Area’s vibrant community of writers*
All that's needed is a little stage
presence and a few Lines of verse.

While most poetry readings take
place in bookstores* university auditor¬
iums, coffee houses or galleries, the
Poetry Above Paradise series has been
convening weekly since August 1988 in
one of the upstairs rooms at The
Paradise Lounge nightclub. The at¬
mosphere is definitely different from
most reading spaces. Rock music wafts
up from where the bands are playing
downstairs. The inside walls have an
unfinished concrete look and are
adorned with paintings by local artists*
A wall of windows looks out onto 11th
Street* where the headlights of passing
cars shine up and illuminate the reader.
There are red vinyl chairs, a fireplace
and geometric shapes painted on the

floor. Readers, who must rely on their
performance as well as their writing
ability* stand on a platform under a
spotlight and speak into a microphone
in order to be heard above the music
and the cash register* The youthful au¬
dience is more likely to wear black
leather jackets than black berets, and
more likely to talk about Bukowski
than Byron.

According to Jennifer Joseph, who
coordinates the series, “Because it's in
a nightclub, there is an energy you
don't get other places. Most of the peo¬
ple are here especially for the reading,
but more people stumble upon the
reading than at most other places.
Some just walk on* but others have
come up to me afterwards and said that
they were really struck by the high level
of concentration* with people on the
edge of their seats, really focused,"
Before she started working on the
Poetry Above Paradise series, Joseph
was in the rock band The Furies, and
played from time to time at the
Paradise and other local venues, in¬
cluding a series of free shows in Golden
Gate Park that combined rock bands
and poetry readings. When the Para¬
dise Lounge expanded from a single
level to its current multi-room, club-
within-a-dub setup, Joseph heard that
the club planned to have a poetry series
and attract people li ke Henry Rollins to
read* She encouraged the manager to in¬
clude an open mike segment. Then the
music booker, who didn’t know the local
poetry scene that well, called Joseph and
asked her to organize the series.

Because the Paradise Lounge was
designed for musical performances, the
acoustics and the engineering are par¬
ticularly conducive to people who want
to combine poetry* or spoken word,
with an electric guitar backup. But all
the distractions of the club setting can
be disturbing for some poets, especially
first-time readers, says Joseph,
“There’s a mike, a stage* bright lights.
It's nerve-wracking. Some people sort
of freak out and won't use the mike.
Most people who read here have read
other places first,”

Others thrive on the atmosphere.
Last spring, soon after his breakup
with Madonna, Sean Penn stopped by
and read some of his work at the open
reading* Joseph says she was impressed
by the fact that he waited his turn in the
open reading and didn’t ask for any
special favors. However* people who
attended that evening described him as
distracted and disoriented.

Along with Penn, many younger
poets are attracted to the Poetry Above
Paradise, and Joseph sees the series as a
forum for a generation of young poets*
“Poetry did not begin and end with
Allen Ginsberg.” she says. “The Bay
Area has a tradition of writing. This
series is part of the continuum. I’m
grateful to the Beats because, had they
not done what they did, I probably
wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing
now, but each generation has to Find its
own voice,”

Last month, featured readers included
Bill Stroud, Dale Good son, Jeff Conant,
Chris Funkhouser, Dashka Slater and
Jerry D. Miley, Joseph chooses featured
readers based on either her familiarity
with their work or their performance dur¬
ing the open reading.

Poetry Above Paradise takes place
every Sunday evening at 8 pm at the
Paradise Lounge, 1501 Folsom at 11th
St., SF. Sign-ups for the open reading
start at about 7:30 pm. Readings are
free, and an open reading always follows
featured poets. For more information*
call 861-6906,

A more recent addition to
the Bay Area poetry
scene is the Hip Books
series at the Shat tuck
Square Bakery in down¬
town Berkeley, where virtually every¬
one who walks in the door (including
the bakery staff) reads something.

POETRY RESOURCES

Literary journals are a rare type oi
publication, devoted solely to encour¬
aging the best writing, whether it's
avant garde or traditional, political or
spiritual. Publishing a literary journal
is a difficult enterprise, involving lots
of hard work and very little money.
Many fail each year, some after
publishing only a few issues. But. sur¬
prising as It may seem, there are a
great many good literary journals be¬
ing published — evidence of the con¬
tinuing vigor of the writing community
in this country.

The Bay Area is lucky to be home
to a good number of excellent literary
journals, covering a broad range of
writing styles and tempsramenis.
Aspiring poets can use these journals
to discover and enjoy the poets and
poetry currently being published. In
addition, many of these journals ac¬
cept. or even encourage, submis¬
sions from local poets. Listed below
are locally based literary journals,
some of which accept unsolicited
manuscripts. Most are available in
bookstores that specialize in local
writing (see list page 27); others can
be contacted at the addresses listed.

IFs important to read the various
journals before submitting work to
any of them, in order to determine
which would be the best audience for
your type of poetry, and to discover
the requirements for submitting un¬
solicited manuscripts. Always send a
self-addressed, stamped envelope
with any work submitted.

Other invaluable resources for
poets interested in submitting their
work include the CCLM Directory of
Literary Magazines, published once a
year, which is available at Small
Press Traffic and other bookstores;
and Bust books international D/rec-
tory of Utile Magazines and Small

The Hip Books series provides the
only regularly scheduled open mike for
poetry in the East Bay, and organizers
Randy Fingland, Aiden Man and Bert
Glick hope that the difference between
their series and most other poetry read¬
ings will be that “ours is not boring/'
So far, according to Click, "The only
fault is that the readings are sober.”

The format of the series, which has
been running for a little more than a
month, is still evolving, and organizers
are considering a variety of changes in
order to achieve high quality. “We're
doing some staging," says Man* “If we
make it more like theater, like drama,
people will take it with more serious¬
ness themselves. So maybe before they
just jump up to read, they will think
about whether they are really ready/*

They are also considering instituting
a “Chicago style slam** where judges
from the audience give a numerical
value to each poet after he or she reads*
This may seem rather harsh, and it isn *t
Hkeiy to encourage excessive exper¬
imentation, but Click assures skeptics
that “unlike New York, there is lati¬
tude for making a fool of yourself and
rehearsing here/*

On a recent visit to the Shattuck
Square Bakery, there was a great varie¬

ty of readers* A man named Dixie
wearing a San Francisco Giants jacket
read a poem about medical testing and
plant sexuality* Both here and at the
Paradise, women read poetry based on
Greek mythology*

The featured poet, Gary Glazner,
did more than a simple reading: He
played a mandolin, a blue bamboo gen-
dar from Bali and a harmonica in order
to accompany his verse. During one
poem he did a stunning imitation of the
Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz-
During another, called “Seven Ways to
Eat a Pizza," he strolled around the
room playing the mandolin like an
Italian restaurant serenade.

Although there was no music intrud¬
ing from downstairs as there is at the
Paradise, the kitchen noises here were
somewhat intrusive. Also, the way the
chairs are set up, the reader sits directly
in front of a plate glass window, so
whenever someone walks by on the
street it is distracting.

As at the Paradise, featured readers
are chosen either because the organ¬
izers are familiar with their work or im¬
pressed by an open reading per for*
mance. In December, featured readers
included Jim Brightwolf, Bert Glick,
Carla Kandinsky and Tobias Lariat.

Readings are every Monday evening
at the Shattuck Square Bakery, 81
Shattuck Square, at Addison, Berke¬
ley. Sign-ups For open mike begin at
7: 30 pm, and reading begin s at 8 pm * ■

E ACH YEAR, the responses
to the Bay Guardian's annual
poetry contest give evidence
of a thriving local poetry
scene. Pan of that scene are
the many bookstores, cafes and other
venues that sponsor open readings by
local poets.

It's far more enjoyable to hear
poetry read aloud than to read it in
silence. The drama, exuberance, toil
and craft apparent in spoken language
are often shrouded when the poem ap¬
pears flat on the paper, confronted by a
silent reader. The poet's own voice can
instill meaning, clarify tone and inspire
interpretation. Listed below are places
where you can go to read your own
poetry or listen to other local poets read
their works.

John Lennon: Was he the victim of a CIA plot?

LENNON'S

Mysterious

Murder

WHO KILLED JOHN LENNON? By

Fenton Bresler. St. Martin's Press,

309 pages, $17.95.

By Marcy Shetner

W HEN JOHN Lennon
was murdered on Dec.
m f 1980, the blood
hadn’t yet dried in
front of the Dakota
when the self-proclaimed “assassinolo-
gist” in the small town where I lived
issued a proclamation that this had
been yet another in a long line of con¬
spiracy killings* The information to
support this theory had been rapidly
passed via a national network that
sprouted up after John Kennedy’s
assassination, whose members collect
and swap anecdotes and “evidence”
relating to the murders of public
figures. Their roster naturally includes
the Kennedys and Martin Luther King,
as well as Marilyn Monroe, Dorothy
KiJgallen, Mary Jo Kopechne and a host
of others. When they' added John Len¬
non to their list, most people reacted
with amused disbelief. John Lennon?
Hell, he was just a singer, a one-time
moptop, a lovable, if kooky, Beatle.

Briefly, the basis for the conspiracy
theory is that Lennon, who had been
politically outspoken in the past, was
coming out of retirement at precisely
the same time that Ronald Reagan was
to become president* Lennon's come¬
back represented a threat to the ascen¬
dancy of the American right wing, who
believed he could effectively inspire
millions to challenge governmental
policies.

It was no secret that the FBI and CIA
had been keeping files on Lennon for
years; they had even tried to get him
thrown out of the country. His self-
confessed assassin, Mark David Chap¬
man, was depicted as a deranged fan,
but his modus operandi appeared, to
those in the know, chillingly similar to

that of a “Manchurian Candidate,” or
programmed killer.

I’m one of those peculiarly paranoid
people who thrives on conspiracy
theories* Furthermore, 1 loved John
Lennon and mourned grievously when
he died* So it was not exactly with ob¬
jectivity Lhat 1 approached Who Killed
John Lennon? , the result of eight
years’ research by British lawyer and
journalist Fenton Bresler* 1 already
believed the bad guys had done Lennon
in; what I wanted from this book was
ammunition with which to persuade
the unconverted, something as meaty,
say, as the unexplained extra shots
allegedly fired at JFK. Unfortunately,
all I got was an embellishment of the
original theory — with some interesting
details fleshed out, to be sure — but no
hard evidence that Lennon’s murder
was the work of a conspiracy*

This shouldn’t necessarily deter peo¬
ple from reading the book: Bresler does
set forth a logical denouement, and his
love and respect for Lennon is evident,
leading him on occasion to refute
Albert Goldman’s heinous biography
on a few p key points*

Who Killed John Lennon? begins
with a history of CIA covert activities,
originating in 1959 with plots against
the Cuban revolution, and continuing
up to Iran/Contra, with stops along the
way to knock off a few choice enemies*
“It is,” says Bresler, “established fact
that the CIA has been involved in
assassinations and assassination at¬
tempts around the world*” What is not
“established fact” is that the CIA has
also been involved in assassinations in
this country, using seemingly innocent
organizations as recruiting centers For
its personnel* One such organization,
according to Bresler, is the YMCA, and
Mark David Chapman was continually
involved with the “Y” throughout his
life. His employment records, how¬
ever, have mysteriously vanished.

These missing records aren't the only
potentially incriminating evidence that

Bresler failed to track down in his
investigation* The man who allegedly
supplied Chapman with the hollow-
point bullets that killed Lennon could
not be interviewed, and has even
been given a pseudonym, “Gene
Scott,” in the book* “I could go no fur¬
ther, ” Bresler says whenever he reaches
an impasse.

Granted that investigating the CIA is
no doubt an exercise in hitting brick
walls, it does seem to me that Bresler
could have been a bit more persistent.
For instance, he was unable to inter¬
view Chapman’s wife, Gloria, but he
only phoned her once and wrote to her
twice* “There is no more I can do,” he
says helplessly* Well, the assassinol ei¬
ghts I knew would have been knocking
down her door to ask about Bresler’s
most interesting discovery — that Chap¬
man did not fly directly to New York
from Honolulu, but first spent three
days in Chicago, where, Bresler
believes* he received his final dose of
programming. The records of the
Honolulu police indicate that Chap¬
man bought a ticket to Chicago, not
New York, on Nov. 28th; the stub
found in Chapman’s room after the
murder had apparently been doctored;
and airline records have been des¬
troyed, as they routinely are after two
years* Again, while I’m entirely ready
to believe Bresler’s scenario, it’s only
on instinct, and instinct isn’t going to
sway a jury, not even a jury of Lennon-
loving peers*

Some of Bresler’s points are un¬
forgivably flimsy — for instance, he in¬
fers that there was some sinister com¬
ponent to the fact that Chapman, a
devout Christian, went to see the play -
Jesus Christ Superstar while in Lon¬
don. Furthermore, sleazy homophobic *
innuendos abound; it’s hinted that the
mysterious “Gene Scott” is gay, and
that Chapman himself was confused
about his sexual identity and feelings
toward homosexuals — points that are
never connected to his actions and have
no relevance to Lennon’s murder, con¬
spiracy or not.

The best chapters in the book are
“So How is it Done?” and 1 'The World
Mourns John Lennon*” The former is
short but absolutely bone-chilling,
describing how The Catcher in the Rye,
which Chapman claimed as his bible,
might have been used as a “trigger”:
“The telephone rings in the middle of
the night* He wakes up, reaches for the
receiver and hears: ’Catcher, Catcher,
Catcher! You are the Catcher in the
Rye of this generation!’ He dials an
outside call and the same voice butts in:
Kill the phoney* Kill the phoney. Kill
the phoney!’ ”

“The World Mourns John Lennon”
is intensely moving, and probably more
than any 1 'evidence” illustrates why the
government might want Lennon out of
the way: “The crowds who thronged
the streets of the cities of the world in
deepest mourning were singing ‘Im¬
agine’ and chanting 'Give peace a
chance, * * * ’ The world was not so
much mourning a singer as a protester
and a political idealist; and this gut
reaction by millions should be borne in
mind when seeking to assess whether
his murder itself could have been a
political act.”

We know the CIA has infiltrated stu¬
dent organizations as well as grassroots
political groups. We know it has
recruited young people, even trained
them in Hawaii, where Chapman lived
for a time* We know that the FBI kept
records on Rock Hudson, Elvis Presley
and other harmless celebrities. It is not
farfetched, then, to speculate that John
Lennon, the man who gave the peace
movement its slogan, may have been
the victim of a conspiracy*

Who Killed John Lennon? is in¬
teresting reading for those fascinated
by conspiracy theories or for anyone
who loved John Lennon, but it’s not
likely to spur further investigation* We
will probably never know the truth — all
we can do is imagine. ■

Alls Fair
in Love?

By Isadora Alman

Q u While 1 have read and heard
■ much discussion regarding
men who ejaculate before they or their
partners would prefer, I have heard
little about the opposite situation.
My new lover is a man who can last for
a very long time, but rarely has
orgasms (through no apparent deci¬
sion of his own).

At first I just accepted this situation
as a variation of male experience, and I
told myself there was no reason that
our sex should Rt my notions of male
response. He is a very sensual lover, far
more attuned to uou^sexual sensual ex¬
changes than my other lovers have
been. However, I have discovered that
he is not holding back in order to last a
long time; he is just not able to come
with any predictability.

He is dearly very aroused when we
make love, though the intensity ebbs
and flows for both of us due to the long
time we spend indulging in lovemak¬
ing. Because of my own discomfort
with lovers who focus all thdr attention
on whether or not I have orgasms, I
don’t want to make him extremely self-
conscious, though it seems unfair for
him not to be able to come, and also un¬
fair for us to just give up and go to
sleep. Any suggestions for remedying
or resolving this situation?

A a Where did you read that sex (or
■ love or life) must be fair? It
isn’t. Your lover’s sexual response is
classified as a sexual dysfunction. The
DSM-1II-R (the diagnostic bible) says,
“302.74: Inhibited Male Orgasm. Per¬
sistent or recurrent delay in, or absence
of, orgasm in a male following normal
sexual excitement phase during sexual
activity that the clinician, taking into
account the person’s age, judges to be
adequate in focus, intensity, and dura¬
tion. This failure to achieve orgasm is
usually restricted to an inability to
reach orgasm in the vagina, with
orgasm possible with other types of
stimulation, such as masturbation.”

Setting aside the absurdity of “the
clinician” being the sole judge of what
is “adequate” stimulation, your man
might want to see a therapist if his re¬
sponse Is a problem to him. In that his
response is beginning to be a problem
for you , ask him how he would like the
malter... er, handled. In order to
climax he may need some other form of
stimulation, which, until you express
your interest, he may be too embar¬
rassed to request. If not, if he says his
sexual response is OK with him, believe
him and use your Fine sense of justice in
righting other, more fixable, instances
of unfairness.

Q m You meet someone who is at-
■ tractive, charming and says all
the right things.. .yet that little inner

son.” Should we always listen to our
intuition?

A m Yes. But if the person is all that
■ charming, you needn’t turn
away immediately. Just proceed with
more than usual caution.

Q m Perhaps Vm superimposing my
■ own difficulties on all queer-
dam, but I don’t think so. Why does it
seem on the surface that lesbians are
able to sustain long-term relationships,
whereas gay men (myself included) are
always searching for it, but so rarely
find someone to nest with?

A m Ln my own acquaintance, two
■ out of three of the happiest
long-term couples I know are male-
male, and one of the unhappiest cou¬
plings is female-female. Clearly, then,

this is not a case of 4 Men always _

Women never . I don r t want to get
into that age-old argument regarding
causes here: nature (the biological urge
toward many partners for male animals
in order to ensure the continuation of
the species) vs. culture (virile men are
supposed to 1 ’tom-cat” around, we all
smirk; women who behave that way are
called nasty names).

Whatever the cause (s), the average
male has a harder time staying content-
ly coupled than the average female.
Two men in one couple raise the likeli¬
hood of discontent. Like heterosexual
females, you will just have to look
harder for a fellow nester than a person
who seeks a female partner. Having
found a likely candidate, be sure to
learn the necessary skills for a happy
long-term coupling, primary among
them being good communication.

Q a I enjoy your column. It’s the
■ first thing I turn to when I get my
Guardian. I just have a comment about
your response to the man who got turned
on during his medical exam. You said
that the female doctor “should have had
a colleague in the room, as many male
doctors have for years when examining a
female patient.”

The bottom-line (no pun intended)
reason male doctors have someone in
the room is to prevent any accusation
— or possibility—of sexual abuse, not
to decrease the chance of the female pa¬
tient getting turned on. Although there
is some similarity in terms of sexual vul¬
nerability, there remains a difference in
the sexual power dynamic of a male in a
power position/female m a non-power
position than in the reverse.

A m I agree that a witness is generally
fl more for the doctor's protection
from accusations of impropriety than
the patient’s comfort. (Why would ex¬
posing one’s private parts to two
strangers be any less embarrassing?) I
did infer a suggestion of abuse in that
reader’s question of whether the doctor
behaved professionally. As to who is
more or less at a disadvantage with
whom, Fd judge it a matter of personal
perception rather than po wer politics. ■

Seltzer Lacks Fizz

The new Seltzer City Cafe needs to work out some kinks

and fine-tune its food

By Janet Hazen

T HE SELTZER Sisters of
seltzer water fame have
recently opened a restau¬
rant in the Sobel Building,
dose to the design center
South of Market. Convenient hours
and a large mixed menu provide local
merchants and businesspeople with a
reasonably priced and pleasant place to
have breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The interior is cheery but a bit busy,
and the layout of the dining area is
unusual, to say the least — a server* s
nightmare. Booth, table and bar seat¬
ing offer a good choice for any dining
and eating needs.

Because Seltzer Gty Cafe is situated
in such a prime daytime business spot,
it’s possible to have dinner in an al¬
most-deserted dining room. Three of
us had the place to ourselves one Satur¬
day night. We began with a bottle of
1987 La Crema pinot noir for $18. The
small but interesting wine list has
several good choices for reasonable
prices. Lukewarm sourdough bread
and butter were delivered shortly after
the wine: I think a more interesting
bread is in order here, and certainly it
should either be warmed all the way
through or served at room tempera¬
ture. This isn’t a big deal, but the first
food brought to the table should make
a positive impression.

Steamed mussels ($7,95) with a very
rich Dijon mustard cream sauce were
very good — sweet and perfectly cook¬
ed. A large mixed salad with assorted
baby greens, croutons and a sprinkling

of blue cheese was elegant, light and
dressed with a very sensitive, balanced
vinaigrette: A flawless salad.

The entrees are varied in price, ingre¬
dients and ethnic origin, so technically
there should be something for every¬
one. The most consistent in quality was
the pasta dish ($10.95), fresh fettuccine
with Italian sausage, eggplant and
roasted red peppers. It was robust, very
flavorful and cooked with care.

Equally delicious but a bit too rich
was sauteed sweetbreads in a port wine
bath ($11.95), I’m not sure what a port
wine bath is, but the very tasty sauce,
made primarily from port and butter,
elevated this dish to ultra-rich and fill¬
ing. The sweetbreads were succulent —
tender on the interior and golden
brown on the outside — and were
served with sauteed zucchini and car¬
rots and tired baked potatoes with sour
cream. The addition of sour cream to
this plate is not only out of place, but
unpleasant. Steamed potatoes or even
rice would be good with the saucy
sweetbreads.

Sauteed medallions of veal with sun-
dried tomatoes and sage ($14,50) was
plentiful and heavy. Four rather thick
slices of breaded veal served with whole
sun-dried tomatoes and too much fresh
sage made for a rather mediocre meal.
The dish was too heavy-handed and
thick in taste and texture, and the same
potatoes with sour cream didn’t help.
This plate of food certainly wasn’t of¬
fensive, but it needs some lightening up
and a little attention,

I was very interested in trying break¬
fast instead of lunch for the next meal,
as good breakfast places are hard to
find. At 9:30 am during the week the
place was almost empty, and I*m afraid
to say the service was unattentive, slow
and lackluster. We started with a plate
of latkes ($4.25). Since the breakfast
menu includes several traditional

Jewish breakfast items, 1 thought
potato pancakes were in order. I also
thought they’d be good, but much to
our dismay, they simply weren’t. Three
golden-brown pancakes, soggy in the
center, dense and flat -tasting, were
served with a ramekin of apple sauce
and what looked and tasted like imita¬
tion sour cream. They were also luke¬
warm, perhaps because our server was
busy eating his breakfast while we
waited for the first dish.

The omelettes are made with a spritz
of seltzer water, which sounded in¬
teresting, The ham and cheese omelette
($4.50) was indeed light, fluffy and
tender. Plenty of ham and cheese filled
out the medium-sized omelette, and the
potatoes served with the eggs were tasty.

Seltzer City French Toast (S3.75),
made with challah (egg bread), eggs
and seltzer, was not successful at all.
Three very large slices of bread, literally
mounded on a plate and served with
weak, imitation maple s} rup, was unin¬
spired at best. The bread hadn’t been
soaked long enough, which made it dry
and tasteless, and an abundance of
nutmeg, which serv- as the only
flavor, didn’t help, f e again, this
co uld be impro ved wi >me at tent ion
and, at the least, real t le syrup. The
server asked if there .as anything
wrong with the french toast, since it
was left on the plate. He quickly of¬
fered to take it off the bill ( and said he’d
mention it to the chef a good sign.

Maybe after Seltzer City Cafe works
out the kinks and fine-tunes the food, it
will have more business. As it is, it’s an
acceptable place to eat, but unfor-
t unately not h ing to rave about, ■

By Zens Jones

Always

Always what? is the question
here. Because in Steven
Spielberg s self-styled love
story/adventure; it s always
hard to accept nasal, gum-
chewing, prickly would-be pilot
Holly Hunter as any kind of
romantic heroine. Ditto
always-with o u t-c hemist ry
lover/ace pilot fighting forest
fires Richard Dreyfuss. It's
always a relief when
Dreyfuss's best buddy John
Goodman's on screen, even if
he's given some very-
obvious ly for-effeet suggestive
dialogue, but the action's
always predictable, Dreyfuss
is killed saving Goodman's life.
En route to heaven, not-
always-convincing spirit
Audrey Hepburn tells him he
must return to earth and pass
his pilot skills on to novice
Brad Johnson before he can
earn his heavenly wings. The
now-a Iway s- i n v i s ible-to-th e-
oast Dreyfuss does so and, via
some always contrived,
schmaltzy and uninvolving
dialogue, persuades Hunter to
forget him and find happiness
with the always willing
Johnson. Does this make a
movie you'll treasure always?
Never. (Kabuki. SF; Berkeley,
Berk,; Grand Lake. Oakl.)

Bom On The Fourth
Of July

Spanning 20 years and most
human emotions, this is Oliver
Stone’s shatterlngly powerful,
moving account of how the
Vietnam war affected one
Marine. From a deeply
religious Long Island boyhood
emerges Tom Cruise, who's
driven by devout love for his
country and a desire to be the
best. He volunteers for Viet¬
nam, witnesses the murder of
civilians, and becomes
haunted by the fear that he
accidentally shot a fellow
soldier during a botched at¬
tack. Then he himself is
critically wounded, and ex¬
changes the horrors of war for
the horrors of rat-infested VA^
hospitals, the loss of manhood
as well as his legs and the in¬
difference of the American
people. With his beliefs shat-

1 taring and his family rejecting
him, he leaves for Mexico and
its ex-vet enclaves before
numerous other events even¬
tually bring him peace. Cruise
is astounding as he makes us
share all the harrowing,
human, taut and tender
moments of this memorable
movie in which Stone's left no
soul-searchino stone unturned.

IACOM'S CHANNEL 25 is turning into
one of the best places to keep up with local talent ,
as artists and musicians let loose in an atmosphere
of homey experimentation each week on show* like
Doghouse and Trauma TV. One of the more recent additions
to Viacom's weekly lineup* Madeleine’s Variety Television^
should interest anyone whose dream entertainment involves both
found footage and call-in sessions with obnoxious viewers.

Madeleine Aitcnann, a video student at the San Francisco An
Inst it me and the Madeleine behind MVT had been producing the
show on and off before finally taking on the commitment to
make the show' weekly* “It’s a lot of work/* she says — that
means making sure that people show up* and finding entertain¬

The show follows a basic variety format* interspersing taped
sequences with live performance and call-in segments with
“Vegas’* Griff Kuiat as the ever-talkative emcee* The effect is a
kind of Bawd Lettennan run amok, with every action doubled

THE DANCERS swirl around the floor* glued
to each other in positions that Arthur Murray
never imagined. The music pulses loudly with
tropical rhythms in the 'newest variations. The
phenomenon is called lambada and although it’s
rooted in 50 years of South American tradition* it
was just recently maneuvered into the latest Eu¬
ropean craze and is poised to sweep across the
U*S* Akin to the ascent of disco in the 1970s*
lambada is largely a nigh id ub combination of
high-tech World Beal and “Dirty Dancing,” but
it is already being marketed as a concert attrac¬
tion* This Saturday a big troupe of musicians and
dancers sweeps into the Warfield For the Bay
Area's first grand-scale exposure to lambada.

Originating in the region of Porto Segura in
northeastern Brazil* the dance is an explicitly
erotic coupling in which partners weld their
lotas and thighs together and swing through a
series of spins* dips and twirls* It resembles the
meringue with elements of salsa* samba and
rhumba. The music* deriving from Bolivian and
Brazilian folk, has been modernized with elec¬
tric guitars and synthesizers until it sounds liken
hybrid of African and Caribbean sounds, in¬
cluding soca* zouk and reggae.

At the center of the new sensation is the
seven-member band Kaoma* masterminded in

Paris by entrepreneurial partners Jean Karakos
and Olivier Lorsac. They recruited the former
rhythm section core of (he Parisian*African
band Toure Kundc and added three singers
-Loalwa Bm and Monica Nogueira from
Brazil and Fania Niang from Senegal. The first
single, “Lambada,” produced by keyboar¬
dist /arranger Jean-Claude Bona venture, was
released in June* 1989* It has sold more than 4
million copies and topped (he charts in 15 Euro¬
pean countries. The newly released album.
World Beaj (Epic), is an appealing interna¬
tionalized disco* slickly combining World Beat
elements into what Karakos calls a “melting
pop” of keyboards, bandoneon, guitar and per¬
cussion.

But the crux of the matter is the dance, a
flamboyant pattern of ritualized release so
deliberately sensual that one Brazilian dictator
repo rtedly ban n ed it * When Kaoma perf 0 rm s at
the Warfield* four couples of professional
Brazilian dancers will put on their simultaneous
show, no doubt inspiring a w ave of eager do-it-
yourself couplings in the charged audience.

, The Kaoma Lambada show hits the War-
field* Saturday, Jan, 6th* Call 775-7722 for

and Eddie Murphy
fight over one story*
concept, another,
more oft-repeated*
goes unclaimed and unchallenged.
Eight young adults are sharing a
cabin in the woods. Within ten minutes
of their arrival one of them — usually
the guy who was funny on the way there
— is found with a harpoon emerging
from his forehead like a third eye. Two
others respond to this by getting homy
and going outside to make love. When
they don’t return (their bodies will later
be found in the attic or bam) after a
couple of hours, one person goes to
look for them, carrying a flashlight (ap¬
propriately equipped with a dim bulb)
for protection, while another goes off
in the opposite direction to pick berries
for dinner.

Yes, it’s Freddy Friday’s Nightmar¬
ish Hafloween Massacre, Part /5,andit
turns up periodically in one permuta¬
tion or another. The next one on the
horizon is Leather/ace: The Texas
Chainsa w Massacre III, which opens at
Bay Area theaters Jan. 12th. It will try
to turn its mass-murdering hero into a

mass-merchandising bonanza along
the lines of Freddy Krueger (A Night¬
mare on Elm Street) and the less market¬
able Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th),
Michael Myers (Halloween) and Norman
Bates (f^rycAo).

New Line Cinema is promoting the
author of the Leatherface screenplay,
David J. Schow, as one of the "Splat
Pack,” a new breed of writers of
“Splatterpunk” horror fiction. Visit¬
ing San Francisco just before the holi¬
days, Schow said he hadn’t seen the
movie and had no idea what to expect:
“They cut out so much to get the R
[rating], they had like a 50-minute film
left; so they went out and did reshoots.
The director and I had nothing to do
with it.”

Schow was hired “on Friday the 13ih
pf January, 1989,” according to the
press kit, to write the screenplay. Only
Leatherface and his chainsaw had to be
retained from the previous films, he
was told. He turned in his first draft in
April, “There were aspects of it that
were really edgy,” Schow boasts.

Associate producer Michael DeLuca, a
New Line executive, explains, “He
took it to a level we weren’t quite ex¬
pecting. We had to pull it back in subse¬
quent drafts, but we were happy with
the tone and feel.”

Schow worked on two more drafts,
feeling less of a senseof ownership each
time. When the finished film was given
an X rating, New Line canceled plans
for a fail release until it could be
softened. “They had one test screen¬
ing,” Schow says, “and if the au¬
dience liked a character they said,
‘That one can’t die/ We put it in but it
doesn’t wind up in the finished prod¬
uct. The writer and the director take
the rap for decisions 15 executives
make around a conference table.”

Showing some grasp of the business,
Schow says he expects to be able to
make “diminishing compromises” on
future projects, “if Pm going to have
continuing involvement in movies. ... I
can direct my own books, and this has left
me with a renewed determination to do
things my way,”

Bom in West Germany in 1955,
Schow was orphaned early and
adopted by an American couple who
brought him to the States when he was
three. They lived in Fort Worth for a
time, then moved to various parts of
the country. Schow spent some years
on his own in Tucson before settling in
Southern California in 1981.

This ‘ ‘Splat Pack” business 4 ‘has all
happened in the past year,” Schow
says, when a few writers — principally

34 JANUARY 3, 1990 l THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN

himself, Craig Spector, Richard
Christian Matheson and John Skipp —
who were creating similar!; graphic
horror decided on a gimmick to attract
attention. “We named ourselves be¬
fore somebody else could name
us, . . . We wanted to make a nice loud
noise that would attract people to the
writing, which will then stanc r fall on
its own merit,” Hence the term
“Splatterpunk,” which Sch^w coined
to describe their work.

Rebelling against the “suburban”
horror of Stephen King, P vu : Straub
and the like, Schow and his comrades
are “dragging elemental horrors out of
the family room and back into the
streets where they belong.” They fmd
that their work is “reaching people
whose cultural coordinates are similar
to ours. We listen to the same music
and aU,”

Thai would be heavy metal, which
Schow says is “not just for brain-dead
14-year-olds.” The metal world is the
setting of Schow’s first novel, The Kill
Riff, about a father wreaking ven¬
geance on a band after his daughter is
killed in a riot at their concert, “I didn’t
write about the supernatural,” the author
says, “because 1 wanted a chance ai the
mainsEream fiction rack,”

He might have a better chance away
from the Splat Pack, Schow does him¬
self a disservice by pigeonholing him¬
self in this way, when his work is more
subtle and diverse than the Splatter-
punk label indicates. Consider this
description of an imaginable if not
common occurrence concerning local
transportation, from his short story
“The Red Light”:

“Once, Pd nearly been decapitated
by a rooftop conductor pole when it
broke free of the overhead webwork
of wires and came swinging past,
boom-low, alongside the moving bus,
sparking viciously and banging off a
potted sidewalk tree a foot above my

head, zizzing and snapping. Welcome
to the Bay Area,”

New Line Cinema is touting the
original 1974 Texas Chainsaw
Massacre as the cinematic forerunner
of Splatterpunk. Schow, not really a
company man, disagrees. “If there’s a
fundamental Splatterpunk film,” he
says, “it would be A Clockwork
Orange , not The Texas Chainsaw
Massacre ."

Tobe Hooper based the original
Massacre film on two real-life incidents

— a Texas taxidermist who killed passers-
by along Highway 290, ate their flesh and
fertilized his garden with the rest; and Ed
Gein, a Wisconsin handyman who hack-
sawed hitchhikers, making furniture
from their bones. The latter case is also
said to have inspired Psycho.

The series suffered sophomore sag
when Hooper tried to turn Texas Chain¬
saw Massacre II into a comedy, with
Dennis Hopper and a significantly larger
budget. Schow notes that all of the horror
film series have run aground when they
departed from their formulas. The critics
complain when they don’t change, but
the public stays away when they do.
That’s why the studio ordered a back-to-
bases approach for Number Three:
“They thought, 4 We just have to
replicate the first one/”

Schow r is amiable and garrulous, easy
to interview unless you like to ask a lot of
questions. In addition to giving lengthy

— but interesting — answers, he some¬
times interrogates himself. “People ask
me, ‘What scares you?’” he volunteers.
“Hi tell you. When I see ads calling
Leihai Weapon 2 ‘Fun Fun Fun!’ and
you go to see the movie and there’s Mel
Gibson playing a psychotic who
slaughters more people than die in all
three Chainsaws — that scares me.”

He also expresses a mixture of
amusement and disgust that “seven-
year-old kids are wearing pajamas with
Freddy Krueger’s picture on them,”

when the character started out as a
child molester. But Schow adds that he
saw Danielle Harris, the 12-year-old star
of Halloween 5, on Geraldo, and “She
made more sense than anyone on the
panel. She obviously knew the difference
between the movies and reality.”

Do the Splat Packers merely feed on
each other’s vivid descriptions of
mutilated bodies and such, or has
Schow, for instance, ever dissected a
corpse? “How do you train for a job
like this? ” he paraphrases the question.
“I haven’t dissected a corpse, but Fve
watched autopsies and seen plenty of
dead people. I trained as a paramedic
in Tucson.” The worst, he confides,
are “floaters and people who have
been burned.”

Schow is of two minds about the suc¬
cess he’s had in promoting Splatter-
punk. in the short term iris been
beneficial for the writers involved, but
he fears it may ultimately work against
their longevity: “Nothing kills a move¬
ment faster than calling it a movement.”

Membership in the Splat Pack isn’t
easy to come by — “You can’t send in
your 50 cents for a membership card,”
Is Clive Barker, to whose w r orks those
of Schow' and associates are often com¬
pared, a member? “Ffe thinks he is,”
Schow grins.

While this grouping of young writers
has gone over well with the public,
“Some of the ‘old-school* horror guys
didn’t like it," Schow says. He excludes
Stephen King, who “has better things
to do with his time,” from those who
have reacted nastily.

Speaking excitedly of the next
generation of horror writers, who in
their early 20s are citing the influence of
the Splat Pack on their work — you
might call them the “Splat Brats” —
Schow says, “I hope we don’t behave the
same way toward those coming up be¬
hind us as the ones ahead of us are behav¬
ing toward us.” ■

The Gin Blossoms, Dusted

(San Jacinto Records)

Five suburban Arizona teenagers with a
sum total knowledge of three rock'n'roll
records between them doesn’t sound tike
a very promising genesis for a rock band,
and indeed, the Gin Blossoms' seif'
pressed debut Dusted would be a damned
easy record to dismiss out of hand
except for one outstanding quality that
permeates its grooves. That quality is In¬
nocence — sheer, exuberant, unmis¬
takable innocence. This is a band that's
swallowed its smalt but perfect record col¬
lection — Chronic Town, Let It Be and
New Day Rising — completely whole, but
the regurgitation effect is completely
mitigated by the wide-eyed enthusiasm
with which each song here is rendered.
During this past half a decade, the Gin
Blossoms are the only unknown, unsigned
band I've walked in on at a nightclub who
blew me away — and they did it twice,
once in Texas and once in New York.
Dusted doesn't capture the band's live
kick-ass quality (or its essential cuteness);
the songs — 'idiot Summer." "Lost
Horizons' 1 and "Hey Jealousy" are the
best — are tuneful and heartfelt but not
really outstanding. But despite its ama¬
teurishness, there's a really nice (and I
ought to add, clearly unintentional) feel to
this record that’s due entirely to the prac¬
tically audible gasp of enthusiasm that
fuels it. You just can t listen to an entire
side of Dusted without feeling like you
yourself were one of the 100 or so people
called on to chip in five bucks to the fund¬
ing of it, and that's kind of a nice feeling.
Sure, the songs are mundane and
poppy, sure the band is starry-eyed with
its own lust for rock'n'roll success, but
there's something strangely sympathetic
about hearing it put so bluntly. Even a
song like "Keli Richards,' 1 which is about
a guy who's in love with a pom queen (not
exactly a real sympathetic take on life),
has a kind of naivete that you just can't
buy on a major label; it's also thankfully
free from the self-absorbed pretension of
a more sophisticated band. From the
tempos, which speed up noticeably from
start to finish of each song, to the in¬

credibly graceless lyrics about sleeping
with girls that have almost nothing to
recommend them except sincerity.

Dusted is a portrait of a successful local
band still in the throes of love with itself, a
band that lusts and believes in its own am¬
bitions and dreams, which has yet to
become jaded by the taint of cynicism,
and it's a portrait, for those of us who
have long since succumbed to cynicism
and unbelief, that can be wildly affecting,
— Gina Amoid

Blackgirls, Procedure

(Mammoth Records)

Wow. If you like the Throwing Muses,
you're just going to go insane over the
North Carolinian rock trio called Black-
girls. It says a lot — and all the right
things — that the producer of Procedure ,
the band's first album (though it had an
independently released EP two years ago)
is none other than Joe Boyd, known for
brsnging the Fairport Convention and
pianist-singer Nick Drake to prominence in
the '60s and, more recently, producer of
R,BM„ Billy Bragg and 10.000 Maniacs.

Like those bands, Blackgirls' music is
in keeping with Boyd's penchant for
more acoustic-oriented outfits. For one
thing, the band has no drummer, relying
on guitar, keyboards and violin for instru¬
mentation (imagine the Muses crossed
with Hugo Largo). Many of Blackgirls'
songs (especially those written by
guitarist Eugenia Lee) have highly
classical structures — they're like
chamber rock. Those by Dana Kletter,
though more straightforward structurally,
are also, to my mind, belter ("Hope'' and
"Too Many" are my favorites).

Lyrically, Blackgirls write songs that
are highly refined, never sappy or girlish,
and always deep. Like the Throwing
Muses, they are obsessed wttn
psychology (there’s one song called
"Visit to the Behaviourist" on which the
singer pleads "fix me T). but less willfully
obscure, if this band is this accom¬
plished this early in its career, what on
earth is to come?

Penelope Houston; “I’ve been * returning’ for so long. It’s ridiculous/

Post-Punk Penelope

Penelope Houston talks about life after the Avengers

By Gina Arnold

T HE FIRST time I saw
Penelope Houston was the
night her fledgling punk
rock band the Avengers
opened for the Sex Pistols
at Winterland, and, far from being im¬
pressed by songs like "White Nigger”
and "The American In Me,” what I
was chiefly fascinated by was her hair.
Here was a girl just a Little older than
me, who had the nerve to go around
with her hair dyed not one, but two dif¬
ferent colors (black and white), cut
within an inch of her scalp. I was over¬
come with a wish that I had her nerve.

Nowadays, Penelope Houston leads
an all-acoustic band and sings songs
with titles like “Innocent Kiss” and

“Full of Wonder”; she still has short
hair, but these days that fact has no
meaning; after all, everybody does. She
tried to guilt me into not mentioning
the Sex Pistols concert — “It’s really
hard for me to realize that every article
that’s ever written about me will have
the Avengers in the lead” — but as you
can see, she failed.

And failure isn’t a thing she has
much experience with. After all, the
Avengers were one of the premier San
Francisco punk bands of the late ’70s
(as the coveted spot on the Sex Pistols
bill proves); the Trouser Press Record
Guide refers to her musical strength
and aggression as * ‘prefiguring Chrissie
Hynde as the archetypal indomitable
rock’n’roll woman.” Eleven years later,
Houston is still best-known for her role

in the Avengers, thanks to a five-year
delay in the release of the band’s only
full-length album, during which the
Avengers somehow developed an exag¬
geratedly legendary status,

Houston’s first album since Avengers
days, last year’s independently released
Birdboys on Subterranean, has re¬
ceived a great deal of critical acclaim,
which is not surprising, considering
how' accomplished it is. The ten-year
interim between its release and the
demise of the Avengers certainly
doesn’t seem to have diminished any of
Houston’s talent or conviction.
Reviews of the album, and of her live
show, consistently herald her return to
the music world, but Houston scoffs at
the idea of her current presence in the
San Francisco music scene being

anything like a return; “I’ve been
‘returning’ for so long,” she laughs,
“it’s ridiculous 1”

Still, ten years is a long time for a per¬
former to be out of the public eye; in
Houston’s case, the interim wasn’t due
to any lack of interest in music on her
part. Rather, she’s just taken a long,
long time to find the right set of people
to work with and the right sound for
her work. The fact that that sound is
slow, acoustic-oriented folk, rather
than loud, fast punk, doesn’t bother
Houston; it seems, to her, a more
suitable medium for her words.

Currently, Houston is one of the
leading lights of San Francisco’s
acoustic music scene; she’s just re¬
corded a four-song demo and is still
shopping for a record deal with it. In

the last decade, she’s spent time living
in Los Angeles and London, worked
on films, animation and music (in¬
cluding an aborted collaboration with
Howard Devoto of the Buzzcocks as
well as one with the members of
3 Mustafas 3) and is happily married
to her band’s mandolin player, Mel
Peppas,

Upon her return to San Francisco in
1986, Houston began working on what
would later become the Birdboys LP
with the late guitarist Snakefinger; his
death, among other things, delayed its
release. Rut despite the fact that 1987
and 1988, the years it was finished and
released, were notable for the profu¬
sion of folky women singers on the
music scene (Tracy Chapman, Michelle
Shocked, Suzanne Vega, etc.),
Houston had trouble generating any in¬
terest in the tape. She doesn't know
why that is: “I guess it was just too out
there,” she shrugs, “we don’t have any
percussion at all, and most of those
people who are supposedly acoustic do
have some backing click tracks. So 1
missed out on that big boom.”

In fact, Houston doesn’t ready mind
having failed to jump the Serious
Women Artist train: “It seems like
women have had to get permission to
be songwriters and singers, and they
finally have. Now, if I had to be a pan
of any scene, I can only really brean j
easily in an atmosphere where people
take you seriously.”

Which may be why, she speculates,
she didn’t ever feel quite comfortable in
the punk rock thing. “In punk,” she
recalls, “all the bands were guys, most
of the journalists and clubowners were
too. You just felt . . . well, I didn’t
personally feel any limitations, but it’s
more comfortable now, because now I
talk to a lot of women in the industry.”

Nevertheless, Houston derides what
she calls the “stodgy and old-
fashioned” feminist perspective that
sees “women’s music” as having to be
lesbian or lesbian-influenced. She adds
that it hasn’t been until recently that
she's seen her own role in feminism:
“as a strong individualist woman, who
doesn’t define herself or her an in rela¬
tion to men.”

And yet, though that realization has
been a long time in coming, she is
definitely someone who defied male
rock’n’roll standards long before there
were any rewards for doing such a thing
— to get back to her haircut at the Sex
Pistols show r (done for her for free at
Sassoon’s X it must have taken a hell of
a lot of guts to defy traditional stan¬
dards of female beauty, and it still docs.

T think/ 5 Houston speculates, “that
I’ve been really lucky because I’ve
never been stuck in any authoritarian
parental situation; I’ve never been told
to act like a lady. My dad left us when I
was 2Vi and I was raised by my mom,
who has a Ph.D. in music from Stan¬
ford; she’s always worked and always
been pretty independent. By the time I
got to the Art Institute [where the
Avengers were formed 1, I didn’t have
too many of those urges to be sub¬
missive and attractive.”

The result was, of course, the
Avengers, which led, despite a fairly
unpleasant demise, to Houston’s
chosen career in the music industry, a
career that has had its ups and downs
but is never less than all-absorbing,
even 11 years down the line.

“1 don’t know/’ Houston sighs,
“everyone has a really pivotal thing in
their life. The first half of [the
Avengers’ careers! was all innocent and
fun; we really did live with the Oils <md
X did sleep on our floor and no one was
trying to prove anything ... but per¬
sonally, it was a very frustrating time. It’s
funny; it's not like I set out to be doing
this; 1 never wanted to be a leader with a
raised fist. And yet . . . there’s a line in
one of my songs, ‘Waiting Room,’ it
goes, ‘it’s just a fault of mine, I can’t
leave you behind/ and whenever 1 sing
it, I think that I’m talking about the
audience.’ 5 ■

Brain Wash's Susan Schindler Making
laundry hip.

CHAMBER

By Heather Mackey

L AST WEEK I was head¬
ing down Folsom when,
out of the corner of my
eye, I caught a glimpse of
the light from one of the
neon signs that, some nights, just
seem to infuse the air over SOMA
with a gently hip glow* The latest
jewel in Folsom's crown, however*
isn’t a new- nightclub* but a laun¬
dromat. Brain Wash is the brain¬
child of Susan Schindler, who, like
many good entrepreneurs, wanted
to open something fun South of
Market but didn't want to add to
the area's nightclub glut*

SOMA used to be a place where
the night Crawlers were so fabulous
that everyday concerns like soiled »
clothing seemed unthinkable Not
at all — real people with dirty under¬
wear do live there* and, as Brain
Wash manager Karen Williams
pointed our, there is a positive
dearth of laundromats in the area.
Having analyzed the demographics
(which all pointed to the fact that
the place is sitting on a gold mine)
Schindler opened the combination
chfe/laundromat that has hipsters
eating yuppie pizza while their duds
are sudsed.

The most exciting thing about
Brain Wash, though, isn’t the tan¬
talizing possibility of a singles 1 night
at the place, but the cafe’s chairs*
customized by Bay Area artist
Sieve Cornbuckle. Each one is in¬
dividually designed and organized
around a kind of food/laundry/fa¬
mous people theme, alio wing pa¬
trons to sit on Albert Einstein's face
and sip an Anchor Steam while
waiting on the rinse cycle*

continued from previous page
doors to call attention to the heavy
toll that AIDS ts exacting from the
arts community. Then what’s so
hard to understand about Art
Strike? The two have nothing to do
with each other, of course, except
for the idea that there's more link¬
ing an and politics than mere pic¬
torial representation.

For those unfamiliar with the
i strike, the basic idea is this: Art is
nothing more than just another wid¬
get in the huge manufacturing com¬
plex that is capitalist society. Artists
have been deluded into thinking
that what they are making is some¬
how outside of this grimy business,
but by now, every Joe with a sub¬
scription to Time knows that art is
big bucks, with nothing separating
art superstars from other rich en¬
trepreneurs than classier friends and
a loft with good light.

The Art Strike people would like
to dismantle this poor excuse for a
culture, starting with one of its big¬
gest sacred cows. Starting Jan. 1,
1990, strikers are calling for a three-
year hiatus from any kind of an
production, teaching or showing;
artists, moreover, will have to start
calling themselveswaiter tT or “of¬
fice temp" when people ask them
what they do.

So far. Art Strike chapters have
sprung up in London (where the
movement originated), Baltimore
and San Francisco (at Artfsts
Television Access), with one
lonely outpost in Uruguay. A kind
of “it’s the thought that counts” af¬
fair, it's unlikely that the strike is
giving Leo Castelli the night sweats.
Significantly, no strikers have been
reported in New York, Lhe navd of
the art world, where business is pre¬
sumably too serious to allow for such
fun and games. SF strikers have re¬
ceived a letter, though, from a NY
fringe group called Word Strike.
“Don’t say ‘art/ ” the group warns,
“unless you mean ‘money/ ”

Of course, if you’re a scab, you
might want to break the ban on an
periodicals to pick up a copy of the
t new Btoatstickj a literary journal
loosely associated with ATA,
which is due out in early January. Put
ting the cream cheese next to the
pastrami, as it were, this issue of
Blootstidc includes various essays
on Art Strike right next to reviews of
local shows and performances.

Women who have taken to going
to Ciuli Q at 9 pm, just to avoid the
huge crowds that descend on this
monthly dance party, will be happy
to know that starting in January,
“The Q“ will happen every Friday
night at the Kennel Club. DJ Page
Model, who also does the music for
The Box, said a couple months ago
that she was hesitant to make it a
weekly event because she wanted to
keep it special, but apparently, iris
become so popular that weekly’s
the only way to go. Of course, lhe
main question on everyone’s mind
is — will theClub Q afcyroe/sbe weekly

CRITIC’S CHOICER

Paintings by Timothy Berry

Like many artists nowadays,
Timothy Barry uses art history as
a sort of grab bag from which to
pluck imagery. Particularly fond
of ransacking the Renaissance
and the 19th-century, Berry gives
the sense he“s resurrected the
ghosts of great artists from
those periods — Albrecht Purer,
Martin Johnson Heade and
Claude Monet. An unlikely trio on
the surface, each had a fascina¬
tion with some aspect of the
natural world (Durer's meticulous
botanical drawings, Monet's
impressionism and serial
images. Headers exotic birds and

flowers). Berry’s more ambivalent
relationship with nature is
apparent in his preference for
plywood instead of canvas —
which he paints over, bums
images into or simply leaves
blank. The results aren't always
earth-shattering (Including a
recent piece called Lome Prieta),
but the fin-de-siecle apoca¬
lypses, Beware and The Gold
Push, alone are worth a visit*

— Harry Rocha

“STUNNING. A FILM OF
ENORMOUS VISCERAL POWER

with a performance by Tom Cruise that defines everything that is best about the movie.
Watching the evolution of his Ron Kovic is both harrowing and inspiring.‘Bom on the Fourth
of July’ connects the war of arms abroad with the war of conscience at home.”

- Vincent Canby, NEW YORK TIMES

★★★★ (HIGHEST RATING) “ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR.

‘Bom on the Fourth of July’ is one of those films that steps correctly in the opening moments
and then never steps wrongly. Nothing Tom Cruise has done will prepare you for what he

does in ‘Bom on the Fourth of July.”

- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO Sm-TMES

“AN EPIC FILM.

Oliver Stone has
made a powerful and
heartbreaking piece
of work dominated

“ONE OF THE YEAR’S 10 BEST FILMS.”

—Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

"Paul Mazursky's stunning ‘Enemies, A Love Story' achieves
a complexity of feeling, a richness of tone that Hollywood
movies rarely even try for. It's the most ambitious project
jMazursky has tackled..Ron Silver gives a subtle, fiercely
contained performance. Anjelica Huston is wry. stirring and
powerfuLStein is both touching and funny as Yadwiga. And
Lena Olin - so good in The Unbearable Lightness Of Being'
• is astonishing here... It's not like any other movie."

—David Arisen. NEWSWEEK

“Unusual, sexy and highly recommended. Lena Olin's
performance is astonishing!”

—Jeffrey Lyons. SNEAK PREVIEWS

‘Two Thumbs Up! For Paul Mazurskys 'Enemies. A Love
Story,' We recommend it quite strongly." —SISKEL & EBERT

"★★★★.A brilliantly offbeat romantic comedy!"

-Bruce Williamson. NEW WOMAN MAGAZINE

American film. In little more than four years she has
shown a range that no American woman except Meryl
Streep can equal" —Stanley Kaufmarm, NEW REPUBLIC

■ sex, lies, and videotape The

story's simple enough, with sexually naive
Andie Mac Dowel I and arrogant lawyer Peter
Gallagher sharing a marriage in name only
until Gallaghers former college roommate

CRITIC'S CHOICE iMovies

Akira

Readers of adult comic books
should flock to Katsuhlro
Otomo’s revolutionary fable set
in post-WWIli Neo-Tokyo. It's
based on Otomo 5 s epic comic
about the pursuit of Akira, a
post-evolutionary life force, by
military, political and spiritual
factions — and a motorcycle
gang. These post-punk punks are
much like the pre-punk punks of
A Clockwork Orange , in a Blade
Runner setting designed by
Otomo in smoothly animated,
state-of-the-co m i c-art with
bilingual visuals and an English
soundtrack that's strangely
devoid of music (Tangerine
Dream or heavy metal would

work equally well)* Biker Tetsuo
becomes a guinea pig in the
military plot to keep Akira’s
power from the people, but he
turns into a super ‘Carrie and
goes mad with powers he can
only partially control. The plot is
confusing and goes on too long,
but Otomo provides a visual
momentum that carries you
forward, even when you don't
know where you’re going or why.

CRITIC’S CHOICE iMusic

Glenn Phillips

Only a handful of electric rock
guitarists — Jeff Beck, Harvey
Mandel, Roy Buchanan, Carlos
Santana, Joe Satriani — gain
celebrity chiefly as instrument¬
alists. A small circle of music
insiders put Glenn Phillips not
just In that league but beyond it.
For the past 20 years — in the
long-gone Hampton Grease
Band, on numerous solo albums
and in wildly experimental col¬
laborations — the unjustifiably
obscure Atlanta guitarist has
been wrenching out the most
amazing sounds. With an un¬
canny ear for melodic hooks and
inventive song structures,

Phillips starts from easily ac¬
cessible pop foundations and
whips his guitar into unpredic¬
table spirals of brutally beautiful
self-expression. For this very rare
Bay Area appearance, his band
includes fellow guitar maniac
Henry Kaiser (with whom he
played the Grateful Dead’s “Dark
Star’' on the latter’s 1S88 SST
studio album), bassist Gary
Lambert and drummer Mark
Crawford. The Sundials open.

reminisces about his anarcho-beatnik up¬

comedy with Spalding Gray bio-theatrics.
Kombluth, a “red diaper baby," is at his in¬
spired best when recalling, with affection and
amazement, the antics of his diehard Marxist
parents. His musical routines need work, but
the punk version of “Michael, Row the Boat
Ashore" and a lounge-act crooning of the "In¬

This event will bring together lawyers, law teachers, legal workers, and
organizers who are attempting to reconceive the role of law and legal practice

in creating social change.

Drawing on ideas from critical legal studies, feminism, and the new wave of
minority legal scholarship—as well as the concrete experience of innovative
practitioners and activists from around the country—the conference will take
a step toward reclaiming the legal arena from conservative forces that have
increasingly come to control it during the last decade.
