A“plaza area” will be developedalong 57th Street, he said, and along,walkway will rise from thestreet to the building wherethere will be steps up to the frontterrace. Shrubs will line bothsides of the walk, and two plan¬ters on the terrace will be filledwith trees.The project is being funded by the University's Renewal andReplacement budget, Bumsteadsaid. He noted that the “RRbudget” was an “ongoing ‘fix-it’budget” for projects such as thedeteriorating Regenstein steps.The existing walk “had dete¬riorated to the point that it hadbecome hazardous to walk on”Bumstead said.Martin Runkle, Director of theLibrary, stated that there hadbeen discussions for “six or.seven years” about renovatingthe front walk. Asked about theUniversity’s decision to fund therenovation project rather than toincreases the Library’s ability toacquire more materials or staff,Runkle responded:“In spite of budget con¬straints, one has to consider thequality of life,” which involvesimproving physical sur¬roundings. He stated that the construction project “does notaffect the library’s budget” andadded that “if it had. . . itwouldn’t have been done.”The plans for the plaza areaalong 57th street include benchesand low seat walls as well asbicycle racks. Since the “area isused a lot during the schoolyear” by students waiting forthe U of C Minibus service, seatswill be provided so that “peopledon’t have to stand in the snow”Bumstead said.Construction crews are pres¬ently digging ditches for plan¬ters in what will become theterrace area. Trees will beplaced in these planters. Oneconstruction worker, when askedwhat he was doing, answeredthat he was digging “flowerplanters.” Another smiled andpointed to one ditch: “this one’sa swimming pool.”Two U ofto open*By Greg MantellNews EditorA chic Italian sportswear storemight seem out of place on 53rdstreet to many Hyde Parkers,but two former U of C studentsare counting on the Benettonname to rack up large sales.Todd Schwebel and BenjaminRodman. 1986 graduates of theCollege and President and Vice-Pres. respectively of their com¬pany Bentod Lmtd., hope to openthe store's doors on August 1 atthe corner of 53rd and HarperAvenue.Choosing 53rd to be the store'slocation was not a difficult deci¬sion for Swebel and Rodman.“Why not 53rd Street?’’Rodman demands. “The neigh¬borhood has changed a greatdeal in the four years that Todd C gradsBenettonand I have been here. We reexcited to be a part of it.”The two hope that Benetton,and a mall being built nearby,besides ‘ giving a new look to 53rd street,” will attract an up¬scale clientele that will “helpfurther the entire community’sgrowth.”Schwebel and Rodman firstbegan considering opening thestore early in their under¬graduate years as they tried toput a finger on what Hyde Parkwas lacking. “We knew therewas an atmosphere it 1 HydePark) sorely needed. We thoughtof opening a club for studentsbut that idea didn’t work outpractically.. Then we hit on theidea of the store,” Rodman said.The store will employ a full¬time manager and four sales¬men.BY MOLLY McCLAINUniversity reclaims community gardens on Stony IslandBy Molly McClain“Managing EditorTownhouses will replace thevacant lot at 57th Street andDorchester Avenue that oncecontained gardens tended byHyde Park residents. Gardenplots at 57th and Stony Islandhave been threatened with asimilar fate.Paul E. Petrie, Director of Uof C Real Estate Operations,stated that construction plansfor the Dorchester lot “areready to go to the contractors.”He stated that he expectedbuilding to commence beforeFall this year.The Dorchester lot, whichcontained over 50 garden plots,was razed during the summer of1985 for construction that was tohave begun that autumn. DavidMoberg, a former member of theDorchester gardens, stated thatin June, 1985, the University toldgarden members that they weregoing to clear the land to startconstruction of the townhouses.“They came and bulldozed thelot,” Moberg said, “They rolledin and said, ‘this is our private property and get off.’ Theyweren’t willing to talk at allabout it. . . The land has stoodvacant ever since.”Petrie noted that “we wererelatively sure at the beginningof the season that we were goingto have new houses on it. . . bythe end of the season we decidedthat the houses were not going tosell.”The University was unable tosell the proposed townhousesbecause of dissatisfaction withthe design and the rental unitplan. The plans called for fivebuildings with two three-bedroom units in each. The costfor one unit w’as to be $300,000 to$320,000. The townshouses andapartments were to be reservedfor University faculty and staff(Maroon 10-25-85). Because theUniversity had purchased the lotas urban renewal land from theCity of Chicago, the U of C askedthe Chicago Department ofHousing in October 1985 for atwo-year extension on the con¬struction starting date.Members of the garden plotson 57th and Stony Island fear that their gardens will be re¬moved in a similar manner. Onemember, Dr. R. W. Reichard,stated that the University ap¬peared to have “hostile feelings”toward the plots. Moberg sug¬gested that the gardens did notappeal to “someone's ideas ofaesthetics.” He said that some¬one in the University must thinkthey are an “eyesore.”Fear over the fate of the StonyIsland lot stems from a lettersent by Petrie to Harriet Mark-ovitz, chairman of the lot. In theletter, Petrie stated that the“University cannot commit to anentire growing season. It is pos¬sible that all gardens may haveto be removed and the lot gradedbefore the end of the summer.”Petrie admitted that there was a“slight possibility” that mem¬bers will have to move beforeharvest time, but he said that noplans for the Stony Island lotwere in the structural drawingstage. He added, “you have to besure that people can go to har¬vest before they (contractors)can start.”Nancy Markovitz, a former gardener at Stony Island, saidthat the loss of the gardens will“be a loss for the people that aregardening out there.” However,she stated, “it wasn’t our land sowe couldn’t determine whatwould be done with it.”Moberg stated that he believedthe gardens are a valuablecommunity resource: “Fifty or more families in the neigh¬borhood previously had thepleasure and the natural andsocial benefits of gardening.”Planting gardens “brought us incontact with other people in theneighborhood.” he said. HydePark became “socially morelively and less anonymous,”Moberg noted. “Hyde Parkneeds it.”Summer Nights begins with City MusickBy E.

Former recipients in¬clude Nobel Laureates Madam Marie Curieand Linus Pauling. Of the 25 most recentwinners, ten have also won the Nobel Prize.“I am delighted to be selected,’’ Halpernsaid. “The list of past winners is a distin¬guished one, and I’m delighted to join it”(Chicago Tribune 5-23-86).Halpern’s research has concentratedmost recently on understanding how vit¬amin B-12 can be used in biological sys¬tems due to a rare and weak chemical bondbetween cobalt and carbon.During his career in chemistry, Halpernhas studied the kinetic and mechanisticaspects of inorganic and organometallicreactions, catalytic applications of transi¬tion metal chemistry and bioinorganicchemistry.His studies in the area of homogenousactivation of hydrogen are generally con¬ sidered to be landmarks in the field ofcatalysis. His work in the 1960s on themechanisms of oxidation of carbon monox¬ide and olefins by metal ions remains thedefinitive work in this area.Among his many awards are the ACSAward for Distinguished Service in theAdvancement of Inorganic Chemistry(1985), the Chemical Society's Award inCatalysis by the Noble Metals and theirCompounds (1976) and the Johns Hopkins’Kokes Award (1978). He is a member of theNational Academy of Sciences and wasappointed a fellow of the Royal Society in1974, joining only four other inorganicchemists at the time. He is the author ofmore than 240 scientific publications.The Willard Gibbs Medal was founded in1910 by William A. Converse, a formerchairman and secretary of the ChicagoSection of the American Chemical Society.The medal was named for Professor JosiahWillard Gibbs (1839-1903) of Yale Univer¬sity. Gibbs, whose formulation of the PhaseRule had founded a new science, is consid¬ered by many to be the only American-bornscientist whose discoveries are as fun¬damental in nature as those of Newton andGalileo (Chicago Sun-Times, 5-18-86).irq/(u c]S%rcheFINE CATERINGWhere the emphasis is on good food,from hors d’oeuvres & dinnersto barbeques & box lunches.Mark BiresFormer Catering Director of Hyde Park Cafes.Craig HalperFormer Head Chef of Jimmy’s Place.(Chicago Magazine Dining Poll Winner)312.667.460 0The Fishing is always BETTERLATE in the Day...or on SUNDAYS,NEW EXTENDED HOURSIN COOP'S FRESH FISH DEPT.Mon-Thurs: 9 a.m. - 7 p.m.Fridays: 9 a.m. - 8 p.m.Saturday: 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.NOW OPEN SUNDAY10 a.m. - 5 p.m.LOCATED iN THEHYDE PARK SHOPPING CENTERLak* Park & 55th coopill III !

CohenOxford University Presspaper,222pps., $6.95by Steven M. LeslieEvery society has its pillars of belief — thosetruths that give its efforts all their meaning. Forthe United States since the Second World Warone of the abiding principles of the cold war erahas been a hate and fear of the Soviet Union.Politicians, the media, and intellectuals havedrawn a picture of the Soviet Union that worksto justify our actions around the globe. Sincethey are so evil, this tenet has gone, everythingwe do to oppose the Soviets must be good.Perhaps the most controversial stand JimmyCarter ever took was during his 1976 presi¬dential campaign when he declared that theSoviet Union was no longer America’s greatestenemy in the world.The ‘'evil empire” point of view which RonaldReagan has again made so popular in the1980s is the idea that has filled Americanperceptions of the Soviet Union. As a basis forpolicy it has found its fiercest support in theacademic circles of Sovietology. In his newly-released paperback Rethinking the Soviet Ex¬perience, Stephen F. Cohen, a Sovietologisthimself, provides a most powerful indictment ofthe “evil empire” view of the Soviet Union.Cohen writes what he calls “revisionist his¬tory” about the Soviet Union and gives us anew framework for looking at that country. Hisanalysis is not only to the point but it is alsoreadable and compelling. He takes to the taskthe whole evil empire point of view, or as it hastraditionally been called, the totalitarian school.This outlook, Cohen claims, not only mis¬understood the Soviet Union, but its emphasison ideology led it into serious foreign policyblunders. During the widening split between theSoviet Union and China in the 1960s. forexample, almost all American government andacademic commentators dismissed the pos¬sibility of a real break between the communistgiants, while the more hard-line observers evenclaimed that those countries’ worsening rela¬tions were merely a trick to mislead the Westand pave the way for world conquest. Thetotalitarian school also led scholars, Cohensays, to dismiss or misunderstand the majorchanges within the Communist world, like thethaw of the post-Stalin era, and upheavals orreform governments in Eastern Europe andnow China.Their fault, Cohen claims, is that they haveoveremphasized the importance of ideology inthe Soviet Union and have repeatedly tried tofind a preplanned and consistent line of politicaldevelopment there. Beginning with their view ofthe structure and platforms of the pre¬revolutionary Bolshevik Party, they have traceda straight course of political progression inSoviet history.The Bolsheviks, they asserted, emphasizedtheir plan most strongly in the War Communismof the Civil War years, were forced to relaxsomewhat during the New Economic Policy(NEP) of the 1920s, but reasserted their designin the rise of Stalin, the collectivization ofagriculture, the mass building of heavy in¬dustry, and the purge trials of the late 1930s.For the totalitarian model the history of theSoviet Union found its roots in Lenin and theBolsheviks and led inexorably to the autocraticregime of today.This evil empire view grew up only after theend of World War II and Cohen assiduouslydocuments it. Before then the field of Sovietstudies was small and staffed by literatureprofessors and sympathizers with the revolu¬tion But with the beginning of the cold warsuddenly Russian studies became a large andwell-supported academic discipline The workof these Sovietologists was needed to build upan anti-Soviet consensus. Their work was oftentied to policymaking and their funding camefrom government sources In the Sovief^iystemthey found a ruling caste at the top whichlorded over a passive population And time aftertime they came to the same conclusions. Whatseems to pain Cohen the most was that theunanimity within Soviet studies blunted theentire intellectual endeavor of analysis andreappraisal and ultimately brought its scholarsto feel that they had found all their answers.Cohen challenges the entire totalitarian out¬look by maintaining that Stalinism and auto¬cracy were not the inevitable result of theOctober Revolution Deeply influenced by bothSoviet dissidents and more recent scholarship Posters from The Soviet Political Poster 1917/1980 pi** on the internal dynamics of the Soviet politicalsystem, Cohen argues that alternatives existedto the rise of Stalin. Unlike the totalitarianschool he does not see the harsh and tightlycontrolled economy of the Civil War era as theimposition of the Bolshevik plan. Instead Cohenargues that War Communism was simply atemporary alternative that the party turned to inits struggle to defeat the White forces and theirWestern allies. He asserts that the NEP policieswhich followed in the late 1920s were actuallycloser to Lenin’s own vision and after his deaththe party agreed to them by con sensus. It isthe NEP and the ideas of its chief theoreticianMikhail Bukharin which Cohen thinks offeredthe most promising alternative to the later riseof Stalin. As an economic system the NEP ofthe 1920s and the early 30s combined a mixedeconomy with state control of the major in¬dustries. At the same time the Party's politicalpolicies assured its own power while allowing aliberal social environment. This system, Cohenclaims, could have endured in the Soviet Union.Cohen takes to task prevailing Sovietologyand its finding of many Stalin-era policies in theideas of Lenin, Trotsky or the other earlyBolsheviks. The massive industrialization plansunder Stalin, Cohen asserts, were not evenenvisioned by the most ambitious of Partyplanners during the NEP era. He comes to thesame conclusion about the collectivizationcampaigns; no such effort was considered untilStalin had firm control of the government andneeded an internal enemy to arouse the nationagainst. The slightly-better-off peasants of theUkraine then became his unfortunate target.Cohen argues that the changes under Stalindiffered so greatly from earlier Bolshevik rulethat they have to be considered an entirely newrevolution from the top. It was an upheaval thatfar from being progressive, actually deprivedthe peasant of his land, stripped workers oftheir rights, returned women to their traditionalsubservient roles, destroyed the party itself,and led to the deaths of millions in the Gulag.Cohen finds the reasoning of the totalitarianschool incomprehensible — how can a partymake a revolution which not only doesn’t leadto its ideals, but somehow inevitably brings onthe destruction of the organization itself and thepurging and killing of its leaders.Ultimately it is the ideas of Mikhail Bukharinand the NEP which Cohen believes providedthe alternative to Stalin, and still gives anoption to reformers within the Communist worldtoday. In the Bukharin ideal Cohen finds theinspiration for Eurocommunism, the uprisings inHungary and Czechoslovakia, reform econo¬mics in the Soviet Union, the approaches todevelopment of many Third World countries,and even the current Chinese moves towards amixed economy.In Rethinking the Soviet Experience Cohenwrites extensively of the struggles betweenreformers and conservatives in Russia sinceStalin’s death, almost entirely reanalyzing thethaw under Krushchev and the reimposition ofparts of the Stalinist order after his fall in 1964He emphasizes the influence of Bukharin andthe NEP on those in the Soviet Union who arecalling for a democratic political system, aincrease in cultural freedom, and respect forhuman rights.Cohen’s stress on Bukharin's importance inSoviet thinking is perhaps the most skewedaspect of the book. I am left with the impressionthat the people who want change in the SovietUnion or elsewhere in the Communist countriesall look to the NEP as a model, while actuallymany different aspirations have guided themThe political tendency once most widelythought to offer an alternative to Stalin —Trotskyism — is all but neglected in Cohen'sconsideration of the political climate of the NEPera. The chapters of Rethinking the SovietExperience sometimes read more like the sep¬arate essays from which they derive, than asthe single book that Cohen intended it to be.But the clarity of the prose quickly clears upthese abrupt transitions between sections.All in all though, Stephen Cohen has writtenmy favorite kind of intellectual work. It is a bookthat in straight-forward and simple tone sortsout the complexities of Sovietology For peoplesomewhat familiar with Soviet studies he hasprovided a convincing and controversial newappraisal of the field And for those unfamiliarwith the subject matter he discusses the mainschools of thought about the Soviet Union andcontrasts them with his own reappraisal of what:s probably the most important historical excel¬lence of our centuryUNIVERSITY TRAVELBusiness or pleasure.Big plans or small.We’ll give you the most service and find you the lowest fares.We can do it all by phone, or you can see us on the 5th floor ofthe Hyde Park Bank building • 1525 E. 53rd St. • Suite 501Charters • Individual & Group Tours • Student Travel • Amtrak ^n °Maria A.

Amsterdam, Laura Saltz, Rachel SaltzEditors: Steven K Amsterdam, Anjali K FedsonGREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1986-3200 ELVIS PRESLEYS CANTby Bob DevendorfA miniature Statue of Liberty saunters intothe spotlight and, after proper cueing, burstsinto a chorus of “New York, New York.” Armsflap and hips shake as the eight year-old doesher best to imitate Liza Minelli on, you guessedit, The David Letterman Show. Humiliation andridicule are standard fare for Letterman, andthe past Fourth of July celebration has been ashamelessly easy target for the critical every¬where. From the 200 Elvis Presley im¬personators who performed on opening night tothe hysterical mob scene of lower Manhattan,Liberty Weekend has been the stuff of comedy.In more than a few minds pictures of cheering,drunken, flag-waving patriots have been amockery of the very ideals Miss Liberty repre¬sents. In a country plagued by a seeminglypermanent underclass, racial violence, fear ofimmigrants, and fundamentalist Christian moralhysteria, one cannot help but wonder what allthe hooting and waving is about. And yet thatsense of wonderment, that questioning atmos¬phere. is the flip-side of a badly scratched andoverplayed record. It is a side that is rarelyheard, and it is precisely the liberty festivitiesthat have finally made it audible.It has been suggested that the yearsbracketing a turn-of-the-century tend to be moreintellectually and artistically fertile on the wholethan those in-between. The French Revolutionand Romanticism, Modernism and the rise of the Communist state are just a few better-known products of these eras. The reasoningbehind this observation is that turns-of-the-century are natural milestones, periods whenthe feeling of entering something new after along rest encourages considerations of time;who are we, what were we, and what can webe? Just as the visibility of these crossroadsinspires human introspection, so the glaringmedia coverage of the Liberty centennial begsthe question to be asked, how free are we?Already a number of articles addressing thisissue have been written in major newspapersand magazines across the country. A par¬ticularly inspired piece by David Mamet ap¬peared June 29th in the Chicago Tribune'sSunday Magazine. In it he claimed we havebecome an old nation resting on its laurels:“We need not do good.’ we are saying, 'be¬cause we are good. Everybody loves us, andthe things which we do are de facto good. Theyare good because we do them.” He cites as anexample of this sign of age recent attitudestowards immigration, especially from CentralAmerica. “In our name, our government asks,How can we be sure these refugees are trulyfleeing political oppression? What if they’re justhungry?” Would a paper like the Tribune bequite so willing to accept an article of thisnature if its subject, liberty, was not otherwiseheadline news? And to what extent would DavidMamet’s thoughts have turned to the question BE WRONGof immigration and freedom had he not beenconfronted daily with media shouting about thecentennial? Mayor Koch of New York wasincensed enough by Reagan's racially andsexually limited choice of candidates for thefreedom medals (mostly white males) to awardhis own. How many others are being pushed toaction by this public display of self-congratulation?It is always easy to lean back in a chair andmock the mob inebriated by patriotism. It ismuch more difficult to take the issue at hand,raise it high for the beauty of its ideals, andwork to make it real. The Statue of Libertyrepresents something very great and very newin human history; it is a symbol of freedom,much in evidence in this country despite glaringproblems and abuses. Miss Liberty’s centennialis, without question, worth celebrating. Let usdirect our scorn and our efforts where they cando the most good, and let the real patriots,those who are actively concerned, wave theirflags.

JULY 11 ig«fi_ORFV oitv JOURNAL“And So It Goes:” Adventures in TelevisionLinda ElierbeePutnamcloth, 255pps. $16.95by Paul ReubensThe single quote of television newscasterLinda Elierbee that I remember best from herlate evening news program NBC News Over¬night, which ran for three hundred and sixtyepisodes back in 1982 and 1983, came duringan “economic upswing” while unemploymentwas in the double digit range, when she startedher broadcast with a somewhat sardonic grin,her lip twisted nastily round her mouth:"Hello,” she said, “You may not have a job,but the economy is doing just fine, thank you,according to administration officials.” When Iheard this quite shocking indictment of policiesmore often approved of by people in the mediathan not, I was completely surprised: here wasa person directly challenging the misleadingreleases and doubletalk of the Administrationas being inaccurate and self-aggrandizing. Yet,her interpretation was both undeniably objec¬tive, and true; in good journalistic style, shewas just reporting the facts of the matter. Heroutrageous statement, and it was, for a networknews program, was utterly valid—a perfectlyrespectable journalistic act pointing out thediscrepancies between what the governmentexecutives say, and what the established factsindicates. But that has always been LindaEllerbee’s talent: she is forthright, direct, tren¬chant, and witty, and, in her memoirs (if onewishes to call them that) “And So It Goes:”Adventures in Television, she proves her late-night, off-centered popularity is no fluke: thislady is no mere network face, someone whoreads exactly what is put in front of her (aperson who in the book is referred to as a“twinkie”), rather, she has definite opinionsabout what she does, and how she does it, andshe has the ability to elucidate them eloquently.Adventures in Television is quite an en¬compassing tract: it isn’t that it deals with agreat deal of time; after all, Ellerbee’s career upto this point hasn’t taken a great period; or that she has run across acres of exciting people andBig Names: a few journalistic names aredropped along the way, but no great emphasisis placed on them. Instead, this is a work aboutthe business of journalism, and it’s place in oursociety. Or so it purports to be; Elierbeecriticizes many aspects of the business’ execu¬tion and some of the foolish executives' out¬rageous underestimation of the typical viewer'sintelligence, although she has nothing but re¬spect for those objective, intelligent reporterswho get their stories and broadcast them withno arrogance or condescension. "Once, onassignment in Alabama,” she notes, “Iwatched a reporter for local news cover a storyabout a trampoline tournament. The winner ofthe tournament was a college student who hadonly one leg. He’s lost the other leg a yearbefore in an automobile accident. Then camethe interview. The camera stayed on the face ofthe student as the reporter asked the following:Gee, fellow, you won that contest good, but Iheard you used to play football and run track.Does it ever, ever bother you that you’ll neverbe able to do any of those things again?....Intelevision, local or network, there are excep¬tions; there are reporters who need never beashamed of their questions, reporters like TedKoppel, who happens to be the best reporter ontelevision. Most of us are not Ted Koppel,however. Most of our questions do not deserveto be heard Sometimes this is true of theanswers, too, but we are talking about ques¬tions here.”Elierbee voices opinions in Adventures inTelevision, using the methods one would ex¬pect her to, anecdote and example. Andthrough their use we are introduced to abewildering assortment of wily or moody tele¬vision anchorpeople, thick-headed producers,oversexed camera men, manipulative poli¬ticians, and more. But Elierbee is too smartsimply to spill the beans on those villains of thepiece who deserve our outrage; she is tooshrewd for that spiteful game. Rather, shecloaks the characters of her stories in theanonymity of “a famous newsanchorperson Iknow,” or “a producer of my acquaintance.”This is called, as Elierbee would no doubt agree, saving one’s ass; as we realize fromfollowing the entertainment news, Ellerbee’scontract with NBC recently expired releasingher to be a free agent (she recently admitted onLate Night With David Letterman that “a lot ofletters of the alphabet” are involved in negotia¬tions for her services). This book’s nationaldistribution may be an attempt at giving her abetter bargaining position for future negotia¬tions with the networks.All issues and personalities aside, though,the most fascinating parts of the book deal withthat time of Ellerbee’s career with which thereader is probably most familiar; namely herstints on NBC News Overnight and SummerSunday USA, programs over which she ex¬ercised her greatest power. Admittedly sheprovides us with only small, tantalizing bits ofgossip about these times (the cover-her-asssyndrome again), but even her rendition, fromher unique and sardonic point of view, ofmoments from the program which were airedon television are amusing, perhaps more so ifone was a fan of the show and remembersseeing them oneself. For example, one accountof an incident during the run of the seriesinspires happy memories: “Naturally, we mademistakes. There was the time Bill and I talkeddirty on the air. In August, 1983, NASA sched¬uled a night launch of the space shuttle itwould, in fact, go up while we were on the air,and was too good an opportunity to pass up' wedipped into NBC’s pockets and found enoughmoney to cover the launch live. Bill stayed inNew York. I went to the Cape—again, senioritycounts. It was a real treat for me; I’d nevercovered a space shot, and when the shuttlewent up, so did my heart, right into my throat,where it stayed. When the noise of the launchdied away, Bill asked me on television aboutthat sound, and what it had felt like. Did it, hewanted to know, make my diaphragm rattle? Allaglow from the launch, I didn't hear the doubleentendre Bill didn’t intend, anyway, and an¬swered that it gave new meaning to the phrasethe earth moved. (Another reason I don’tanchor Nightly News.)” A certain amount ofattention is directed by a not-at-all bashfulElierbee towards her failures. When she dis¬ cusses her activities on the subsequent newsseries Summer Sunday USA, she pulls nopunches: the idea behind the program was thateach week Elierbee and another reporter,Andrea Mitchell, would broadcast a show froma different area of the country, with the aid of alive minicam truck: “After the first program, weheld a few truths to be self-evident, if slow tosink in. Our secret weapon was not enough. Atruck is not a program. A truck is a truck. Weneeded more than flashy toys. We neededsomething to say, and we needed to limit a onehour program to one hour’s worth of ideas. Wedecided that each program would have atheme, but from now on, we would do our bestto whittle themes down to something a bit moreclearly defined than ‘America.' Since the loca¬tion of each show had already been chosen, thetheme of each show, by necessity, would bedictated by location, which had been dictatedby our superiors, or the capacity of the truck’sgas tank. I never asked which.”Oddly enough, even though she now standson a platform from which she could, if shewanted to, indict the television journalismbusiness, and create a sensation by offeringalternatives to reform it, Elierbee chooses not tobe so critical. And So It Goes...is a far morecommercial book than that; the work’s purposeis to allow us, the general public, a look into themachinations of network television, and, coin¬cidentally is a justification for her on-air per¬sonality, which has been called by some“bitchy.” Bits and pieces of her life are pa¬raded before us, a few bits of juicy and not-so-juicy gossip are given us to consider, and a fewsweeping criticisms of the industry are made.What one must realize is that this book is awonderful thing for what it offers: a deeper lookat one of television’s most fascinating, witty,and intelligent persons, and a thumbnail sketchof just what she feels is right and wrong withthe television news business. No great break¬throughs or additions will be made to the worldof network news with the release of this book,however, and those who buy it for that reasonare sure to be disappointed. If Elierbee isenough to satisfy you, though, this book prob¬ably belongs on your Summer bookshelf.by Wayne Scott"deals fearlessly with real people”—Roger Ebert, The Sun TimesFor people who were fascinated by thevapidity of the lovers in Endless Love, AboutLast Night supplies a compelling version ofsu:'h romantic intensity, had the main charac¬ters grown up and gone into retail. Thescreenplay, based on David Mamet’s playSexual Perversity in Chicago, banalizes analready unfulfilling text, adds a wash of sen¬timentality to cover up its defects, and hasunsettling implications for contemporary con¬ceptions of human intimacy. Needless to say,everybody around me loved it.The original play, Sexual Perversity, raisesdisturbing questions about what this “slice oflife” theatre is supposed to do. The playincludes three unlikable characters and oneborder line likeable character, Debbie’s room¬mate and best friend Joan, who seems to havewell-honed personal principles but never pre¬sents them very cleariy. The two male charac¬ters are repositories for misogyny and hom¬ophobia, those forbidden areas of discussionthat lay the subtext to the play's humor. Dannyand Bernie glean most of the laughs by actinglike vulgar boys: Ooh! Look at those tits! Digthat ass! Does she give head Danny? How’d yado last night buddy? These jokes make theaudience laugh self-consciously, because theyplug into attitudes pervasive in American cul¬ture, stylize them, vulgarize them, and handthem back in hyperbolic form. But the playlacks any implicit commentary on what theseattitudes mean or how they shape our lives.Occasionally Joan provides a serious counter¬part to such attitudes. In answer to one ofDanny’s insults, she replies with dead-panearnest, "Ah, that’s very telling On your in¬structions, I’m supposed to rend and torturemyself anally. Is that what you like? DoesDeborah know about this?” The play begs formore lines like this, but Mamet resigns himselfto presenting an ugly slice of life that tran¬scends nothing and gets us nowhere.The screenplay adds sentimental Hollywoodtouches to this drama. Sexual Perversity is ascant text, undercutting the sexual relationshipbetween Danny (Rob Lowe) and Debbie (DemiMoore). This style allows for some room forjudgement. It's not clear what Mamet means bygiving us these characters but he could beoffering an ironic criticism of their general Mark Kostabl, Dream Team, 1983 emptiness. But About Last Night takes themseriously. It embellishes Mamet's scant style,hiding the characters’ lack of depth in aninstitutionalized Love Story, which structuresour perception of them and recuperates theirinanity. Debbie’s weakness and lack of per¬sonal integrity are resolved when she becomesThe-girl-who-needs-a-man-to-take-care-of-her.Behind Danny’s assholish behavior and puppy-dog-like attachment to friend Bernie (Jim Bei-ushi) lurks a boy-lover of shining, if tortured,virtue (not to mention an emotional cripple).None of these nice, complex things are deve¬loped in the film, but I found myself straining tofind them, to make the Love Story work.About Last Night is rich with images ofDanny and Debbie Falling in Love, extendedwalks in the park (with musical background),romantic dinners for two (with candlelight),soulful glances into each others’ eyes thatbroke my heart, and. of course, all those stickysex scenes. The film concentrates their buildingintimacy in these symbols, but it offers nodialogue to solidify their closeness. It’s no realsurprise when they figure out that, in spite ofhaving said “I love you,” they really don’t knoweach other. Because we don't know themeither. All we know is that they’re supposed tobe in Love. But the film never depicts the workof intimacy: the talking, delving into anotherperson’s past, and the arduous process ofknowing and wanting to know what made theperson what he or she is. The film takes theeasy way out.The ending of About Last Night summarizesthe film’s problem with human relationshipsDebbie and Danny break up and Debbie movesout in a huff. Then Danny decides he reallycan’t live if livin’ is without her (like the song)and sets about tracking her down and beggingher to return. (I was waiting for him to set herhouse on fire, a la Endless Love.) Well. Debuesquashes that noise at first, but then, afterthey’ve both had some time, she sees him inthe park, their eyes meet (music), they walkceremoniously toward each other, and, like thesnap of a magician’s fingers - or the high notefrom a Barbara Streisand soundtrack - theysmile at each other Everything Is Going To BeOK. The writers would have us believe thatDebbie and Danny “really had something" afterall (contrary to Mamet's text, where they don’tget back together). But before we can con¬template what that bonding element was, themusic begins and Danny chases after Debbie'sexit.GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1986—5Kl;IMBARK LIQUORS 0 WINE SHOPPE 7/10 T>mu*/16/861214 East $jrd Street • In Kimbark Plaza 493*3355[SEEny 3113 itBEER!BUSCH BEER[ 24 12 oz CANS| WARM ONLYi$5991 Wm LIMIT 21 WITH THIS COUPON AUGSBURGER6-12 oz NO RET BTLSWARM ONLY7*5OLD STYLEORBUDWEISER24-12 oz.

The opinion was written by Justice White,who used as the basis of his argument the long¬standing anti-homosexual traditions of Englishcommon law and the laws of the originalthirteen states. He said, “Against this back¬ground, to claim that a right to engage in suchconduct (homosexual sodomy) is ‘deeply rootedin this nation’s history and tradition’ or ‘implicitin the concept of ordered liberty' is, at best,facetious.” Although there is a precedent in thetwentieth century of laws and amendmentssecuring an individual's privacy, Justice Whitefeels that homosexual sodomy should beranked with other “victimless crimes” such aspossession in the home of drugs, firearms, orstolen goods. He also claims to fear the poten¬tial repercussions that a law protecting sod-omizers would produce, stating that “...it wouldbe difficult, except by fiat, to limit the claimedright to homosexual conduct while leaving ex¬posed to prosecution adultery, incest, and othersexual crimes even though they are committedin the home. We are unwilling to start down thatroad.” He believes that “the law...is constantlybased on notions of morality, and if all lawsrepresenting essentially moral choice are to beinvalidated under the Due Process Clause, thecourts will be very busy indeed.” It is JusticeWhite’s feeling that laws against homosexualsodomy exist by majority decision of the votersin the several states, and that if that is how theyfeel, then it is not in the Federal Court’s poweror jurisdiction to say otherwise. Justice White isa firm believer in the letter of the Constitution,not just its spirit, stating that there is “little orno textual support in the constitutional lan¬guage” for fundamental rights that have beeninterpreted by previous courts as subject toFederal regulation or proscription. Now, hefeels, is the time to draw the line on sloppyinterpretations. The very tragic element in thisscenario is that, to a great extent, Justice Whiteis absolutely right.If one examines the actual “letter" of theConstitution, one may find something veryremarkable. Article IV of the Bill of Rights readsas follows: "The right of the people to besecure in their persons, houses, papers, andeffects, against unreasonable searches andseizures, shall not be violated, and no warrantsshall issue but upon probable cause...” ArticleXIV, also known as the Due Process Amend¬ment, states, “No state shall make or enforceany law which shall abridge the privileges orimmunities of citizens of the United States; norshall any state deprive any person of life,liberty, or property without due process of law,nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction theequal protection of the laws.”The letter of the Constitution is, to say theleast, rather vague. The fourth amendmentmeans absolutely nothing unless someonedefines the terms “unreasonable” and "prob¬able cause.” If the state feels it is “reasonable”to issue a warrant to search a private home for evidence that its occupant is a homosexual,then, by the letter of the Constitution, it is legal.Nor is this a wholly unlikely scenario. Suppose,for example, that AIDS creates a hysteriaamong the majority heterosexual populationwho fear for their children’s lives. It is rare thata court will decide against a protective parent;should the court believe that the existence of apestilent homosexual population is a real threatto the community’s health, it is entirely possiblethat severe measures may be taken. Althoughthe Supreme Court ruling does not specificallystate that homosexual sodomy is illegal, leavingthat decision to the states, by denying respon-ibility for the fundatmental rights of hom¬osexuals the court relegates them to the statusof second-class citizens. (By second-class citi¬zens I mean legal citizens who for whateverreason are not entitled to full rights.) AlthoughDue Process specifically states that citizenshiprights are not to be abridged, it does not applyto those who are not full legal citizens. Thatwas why the fifteenth amendment was requiredto give blacks full rights, and the nineteenthrequired for women. The only way that homo¬sexuals will ever be granted full rights underFederal law is by a new constitutional amend¬ment.The basic problem at work here is thathomosexuals are perceived by heterosexualsas “other.” A very serious us/them dichotomyexists in this country, and as long as hom¬osexuals are, by Federal proclamation, thesinister stranger lurking, immoral, under thepure white fabric of American society, they willbe exempt from the rights that most Americanstake for granted. The right to privacy is only forthose who are proven good citizens. As long asthere is perceived “probable cause” for homo¬sexuals to be regarded as less than full, moralupstanding Americans, then it is constitutionallycorrect for the states to declare them an¬athema, and deny them basic “fundamentalrights.” For those who take Justice White'spoint of view, it is both just and proper touphold state sodomy laws, for without anamendment to the Constitution, homosexualsare not full citizens, and it is only citizens thatthe Constitution is designed to protect.Until an amendment is proposed and passed,homosexuals will have to work at the state levelfor rights. We are fortunate that Illinois hasseen clearly enough to repeal its anti-sodomylaws. At present, states are not in the habit ofprosecuting homosexuals, even when explicitlaws are in existence. The case that eventuallyled to the Supreme Court’s decision wasdropped in 1982 by the Georgia State Court,reinstated by the defendant to challenge thestate’s law at the federal level. The danger liesin the future. Should a climate of fear, or offundamentalist Christian morality prevail, exist¬ing anti-homosexual sodomy laws 'could easilybe put into use. It is conceivable that a round¬up would occur, with homosexuals prosecutedand sentenced to quarantine camps or prisonswhile the Federal Government throws up itshands, sheds a few crocodile tears, and lam¬ents, “there was nothing we could do.” THOROUGHLYPOST-MODERNPRINCEby Rachel SaltzThose lips, those eyes, that attitude! Clearly,a boy such as Prince just wants to have fun andto be Jesus Christ. In his latest movie effortUnder the Cherry Moon, that post-modern pixieof sexual anxiety and healing reaches newheights of self-obsessed stylization. Who, whobut this crypto-gay messianic Fred Astairewould dare to try to pass himself off as bothGreta Garbo and James Brown and succeed onhis own self-mocking terms?Moon is ostensibly a love story in whichgigolo “I've forgotten the meaning of Love"Prince, here known as Christopher (get it?)Tracy, and his homo-erotic buddy, Tricky (!)woo Mary, a Monaco debutante. In the begin¬ning the boys are attracted by Mary’s fortunebut later, and for reasons left vague, Princecomes to care for the girl. As the lovers rompthe streets and grottos of Monte Carlo they findTrue Love, but class differences and angryfathers provide earthly obstacles.Prince is much too interested in his ownvampy posturings and spangled costumes totell his story straight. The plot and most of thecharacters (including Mary, the nominal loveinterest,) are sketched in with a comic bookdepth which at times makes the movie in¬scrutable, dare I say impenetrable. And yet.none of this matters because in Cherry, style is the clear victor over content Surely this isPrince’s post-modern trump. He collapses allgenres—musical, comedy, tragedy, farce, fash¬ion—into a mish-mosh (bricollage?) that is slaveonly to its auteur's own twisted vision: inPrince's house everything's cornin’ up goofy.It’s hard to imagine that Prince could be, atonce, homo-erotic tease, love-sick swain, andthe latest be-spangled incarnation of You KnowWho. Sex. seemingly Prince's only musical andcinematic subject (everyone needs a hobby),here is forced to conform to Moon's goofyweltanshang. Even the endless ciose-ups of ourhero’s lips and eyes (is heaven going to be likethis"7) lack all erotic force due to their silliness:Prince's ego seems to have gotten the better ofhis libido. In fact Moon isn’t about sex at all; it’sabout teasing and the biggest flirt scenes arebetween Prince and Tricky. As for Mary, who'sto care? Clearly Tricky is the gin in Prince'svermouth.Cherry defies both sense and analysis. It isaudaciously/bodaciously confusing and tan¬talizing. One satisfied viewer saw it as thesummation of the deconstructive attitude, an¬other bemused viewer merely exclaimed “whata truly awful movie.” As for me, I endorse bothviews for what is Prince if not a dissolver ofparadoxes. In Under the Cherry Moon all thingsare possible. Better yet, as Prince teaches: Godloves those who love themselves.jyplk-, | , Vr it |/1 ViGREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1986—7TERRANCE IP - - MBIfby Carole ByrdTerrance had had the rare op¬portunity of watching each of hischildren grow up before his eyes.Some people thought Terrance wasn’tcapable of watching his children at all.There were those who didn’t thinkTerrance could see through the mustycloud of inebriation that surroundedhis every thought. But Terrance saw.Terrance knew his son was a man,as we say down home, the day thathe stopped coming to visit him at thetrailer house. Sorry Dad, I can’t makeit this weekend. I’ve gotta work. Oh,and I’ve gotta study. Terrancewatched his daughter clean the debrisfrom around the sink. As she worked,never lifting her eyes from the job infront of her, Terrance was remindedof her mother. Her mother used towork like that, never making a sound.Terrance rolled over in the bed.Ooff. Terrance rolled over on the bookhe had pretended to be reading. Thenotes he had pretended to be writing.The bottle he didn’t have to pretend tobe drinking. Terrance noticed that hisclothes were soaked with a soursmelling fume and that his lips hadgrown together at the corners of hismouth. Terrance rolled over in painand realized that he had wet the bed.Terrance’s daughter had goneoutside of the trailer house. To feedthe dog? He imagined that the dogwas sleeping under the tree thatshaded the sandy road to the doorand that she wasn’t even hungry. Asfat as she was, she wasn't hungry. Itwas too hot, and she was too lazy.Terrance thought he was hungry andhe wished his daughter would comeback into the house to feed him. Hesat up. And the stink of his clothessent a surge of nausea to his stom¬ach. He rushed to the door. Just intime. Now the pain in his stomachwas throbbing in his head. He stag¬gered out the door to the tree wherethe dog always slept. And sat down.Terrance’s daughter and dog werenowhere in sight.Terrance wondered if his daughterhad decided not to stay. Even thoughshe said she would. But Terrancedidn’t wonder long. He didn’t like tothink of her leaving. It reminded himof her mother. Leaving. Terranceremembered the day she was born.He rememberd because he felt thesame sickness in his stomach and hishead as he did today. He was drunkthat day too. But he was overjoyed.He was truly happy. And truly afraid.Terrance was afraid it would be toomuch for him. To start a family. Toomuch money. Too much responsi¬bility? Terrance laughed at himself asa father, as a boy. Children raisingchildren. Terrance laughed at himselfagain. For being constantly over¬whelmed.Laughing made Terrance remem¬ber how hungry he was. Boy am Ihungry, he said aloud. But the breezethat wrestled with the branches abovestole his words and lifted them outover the sea. Terrance hoped that the wind had some sense and that it tookthe message to his daughter. Ter¬rance was almost incapable of takingcare of himself. He couldn’t cook. tree to dry. Terrance looked at the oldtruck. Too bad she doesn’t run. Too>. Or I’d be gone. Gone,>, gone. Like my wife. Get the hellFirst his mother had cooked for him,then his wife, and now his daughter.Terrance thought that he had likedthe way his wife cooked best. Not atfirst of course. But later when shelearned how. Gonna be a long timebefore I taste that home cookin’again. Terrance knew he would nevertaste that home cooking again. But hedidn’t want to think about food. Now.He was so hungry.Where is the dog? The damn dog.Terrance remembered when he al¬most lost her. The dog. He had goneto take some things to the dumpbecause the trash around the trailerhouse had simply overwhelmed himone morning. And he couldn’t wait forthe weekly sanitation run. The dog.The damn dog. Got in the truck withthe trash and he didn’t know it. Whenhe got to the dump she must havejumped out of the truck. She musthave jumped out of the truck when Istopped. He couldn’t remember. Allhe knew was that when he returned tothe trailer, the dog was nowhere insight. Nowhere in sight. What would Itell my daughter. Terrance jumped inthe truck and drove like a fire throughtthe dry forest back to the dump.There was the dog. Fat. Set on herhaunches wagging her tail. And smil¬ing at me. Smiling at me like all thetime she knew I was cornin’ back.Terrance laughed at the thought ofthat little dog having so much controlover his life. That little dog was theonly thing Terrance had ever loved.Not really. But the only thing that everloved me.Terrance loved his daughter. Hon¬estly. But what is honesty? Terranceremembered the day she was con¬ceived. She must have been con¬ceived that night. One of his friendshad warned him about women’s or¬gasms. Just make sure it’s alwaysbetter for you than for her. But why,man? Because when they wiggle inpain. When they sweat, when theyscream. Yeah, man. That’s when theyget pregnant. Terrance didn’tremember any screaming. She didn’tsay anything about pain. But sweat¬ing. Wriggling. That was the first nightthey made love. That was the firsttime that Terrance saw the look ofsurprise that faded into a hazy diz¬ziness come over his wife’s face. Butshe wasn’t his wife then. Yet. Sincethen Terrance had learned that hehad a heck of a lot more to do withconception than he thought. Terrancemade sure it was always just as goodfor her.Terrance felt the heat on his browmelting a salty stream of sweat downthe sides of his cheeks. He wiped hisface and licked the water from hishands. Cotton mouth. I need a drink.But the sun had already made himlazy so he didn’t go into the trailerhouse to look for a beer. Instead heturned on the hose at the outsidefaucet and hosed down his mouth, hishead and his back. He took off hisshirt and hung it on a branch of the out of Dodge. Terrance went to thetruck to look for cigarettes. He alwayskept them in the truck. He kept a lotof things in the truck. He found them.Terrance lit up a Kool menthol longand leaned up against the metalframe without wheels. He sold thewheels. To buy a present for hisdaughter. $10 a piece. To buy someclothes for his daughter.Terrance loved his daughter. Shewas his shinin’ light. I always tried todo right by her. But Terrance hadbeen overwhelmed by the responsi¬bly. He remembered the time that hetook her fishing. With the boys. Shewas only five. Then. She wasn’t ac¬customed to staying up late. But shewanted to do everything that daddydid. All night long. Catching mullet inthe gulf. Terrance had almost for¬gotten that he had brought her along.He was drinking and fishing wifh theboys. Drinkin’ and fishin’ and fellin’tells. Tall tells. About fish, mostly.About fish we never caught. Andabout women. About women we neverknew. Suddenly his daughter let out ashriek from the other end of the boat.A shrieking cry and then she justdidn’t cry any more. Where are you?Where is she. It was so dark that wecould hardly find our way back to themotor where she had been playing inthe tackle box. Somebody shined aflashlight. He didn’t remember who.She sat sobbing and rocking in thecircle of light, holding her thumb thatwas bleeding lightly from the fishhook that she had jabbed cleanthrough. Clean through her thumb.You gotta get that hook outa there.Somebody yelled. She’s gonna getinfected, Terry. Terrance felt the ur¬gency of the situation. He grabbed hisdaughter’s hands and yanked thehook out of her thumb fast. She didn’teven cry. At least out loud. Terranceheld his daughter in his lap. Some¬body shined a flashlight. Terrancewatched his shirt in the circle of lightfill with blood, tears and saliva as herocked the sobbing child in his arms.It’s gonna be alright baby.Terrance tossed his cigarette onthe ground and kicked the sand overit with his foot. It’s gonna be alrightbaby. He said it aloud. What? Afamiliar voice whispered from behindhis back. He turned and saw hisdaughter. And the dog. Comingaround the truck to greet him. I didn’tthink you were up. I wasn’t. Terrancewas relieved to see her standingthere. Standing in the reflection thatthe sun made bouncing off hisclouded pupils at midday. You mustbe hungry. Terrance smiled becausehe had been waiting for her to saythat. Terrance watched his daughtersmile back. He remembered thatsmile from the last time. When was it?Terrance watched his daughter go thetrailer house and open the door. No.To the dog who always wanted tocome in but knew she couldn’t. Youstay here. Wagging her tail anyway.Terrance watched his daughter dis¬appear into the trailer. He smiled.Again. This time he laughed out loud.Terrance was glad he hadn’t had abeer this morning.

Like a too long neglected sister, the U of C hasbeen systematically changing to attract young admirers away fromits more glamorous Ivy League rivals.Let’s start with student life. It used to be a joke, student life at U ofC, ha, ha. But doubling of the activities fee produced more events lastspring than we had room or weekends for. No joke.And who did we compete with athletically? St. Norberts, is that aCatholic school? Ah, but now we have Johns Hopkins. That’s auniversity you can respect.Three years ago reg rats threatened to burst the library at itsseams. But that’s nothing a little flourish like Crerar can’t solve.Not enough room for softball on Stagg Field you say? Well that'seasy to fix. Just expand the field.In a relatively short time U of C has been revamped and becomeready to match its rivals’ charm. The young admirers approved.Over 900 accepted admittance to the college for the fall, more thanever before. These are accomplishments to be proud of. But this“beautiful'’ effect was not achieved with make-up alone. A few scalpelcuts were required also.Let’s begin with the Agora. Some describe it as a “dive.” Othersdescribe it as a campus institution. Well, let’s not worry abouttradition. Let’s go for image. The “atmosphere’’ on 57th Street needsto be altered. What shall we try? Westwood, California? Georgetown,D. C.? Yup, Yuppie. What could be cuter than a restaurant whosename sounds like that of a country/western top-40 song? The PrairieCity Diner? So what if they don’t have the investors? Whack.And then there is Ida Noyes. This is one aging beauty that needs amake-over. Oh, come now. We don’t really need another gym. Wewant a movie theatre. Plush seats and carpets. Bright lights.Romance. Whack.How about the Lascivious Costume Ball? Ooo. Too tacky. We don'twant to be identified with one of those state schools. The last one wasso “unsafe, unhealthy and unpleasant.” Whack.Now for reconstruction. How about some terraces and plazas, treesand bushes, in front of the Reg? We really only needed the cracks inthe pavement fixed but while we’re at it let’s go whole hog. So what ifthe library is pinched for staff to catalogue all those new books thathave yet to make it to the shelves? So what if they hire only oneemployee to keep up with acquisitions of new material?
