"^ ^^^r' BROWN ALUM] MARCH 1984 JUi ^v **% r ^ ^it Giles Milhaven: Living 'a life of love that meets my needs' CL Q" Ndder Psabody offers tax-advantaged investments that provide income eisweUasshdter. If you're in a position to need shelter for your income, you're fortunate indeed. But even the most fortunate can't afford to take imprudent nsks. Tax-advantaged investments based on sound economics can pro- vide many benefits. They should, of course, offer a significant reduction of current tax liability and relief from short-term capital gams tax. Atthe same time, these investments should provide for the conversion of ordi- nary income into long-term capital gams as well as generate appreciable tax-free income on a regular basis. Most importantly they should build greater wealth. But there are so many apparent investment opportunities available, how do you find ones that meet your specific needs? At Kidder, Peabody you benefit from two layers of thinking. From stockbrokers experienced in helping upper income individuals get the most from their investable dollars. And, from specialists in our Tax Incentive Group and our Corporate Finance Department. Together, these experts identify industries that are growing noticeably faster than the economy Then they originate tax- advantaged investments that meet both Kidder, Peabody's stringent standards and those of our clientele. Kidder, Peabody can help tailor tax-advantaged investments to fit your special needs. Simply talk with one of our brokers atthe Kidder, Peabody office nearest you. ^^H Kidder, Peabody IH €?

My account number is and the expiration date is CARRYING THE MAIL Computers at Brown Editor: As an honors student in 1962, I couldn't find a Brown pro- fessor who would sponsor my inde- pendent studies project in Eastern phi- losophy. Today, as a specialist in computer communications applications for organizations, 1 read about Brown's commitment to the future with a courageous, leading-edge per- sonal computer experiment on campus [BAM. September]. Now I know why my Brown degree raises eyebrows to- day when it was no cause for comment twenty years ago! We've come a long way. SUSANNA OPPER '62 New York City Loves the Band Editor; Regarding the Lubkin letter in the December/January BAM asking if anyone likes the Band, my answer is, "I don't just like the band, 1 love it." I have to admit I can no longer travel to see the Band, must rely on reports from others, and I am biased because I played in the Band for four years, and received their own Harris award. But, that does not mean I in any way waive my rigiit to make a com- plaint, except with the mandatory re- quirement 1 give compliments or ideas with that complaint. It would be nice if things were always like that, but life just is not like that — a good lesson for students to accept before they leave the aegis of academia. Show me some- one who says he or she has always re- ceived a compensating compliment or idea for a complaint, and I'll show vou a moronic liar. I was one of those complainers. I look at the Band as a representative of Brown, and I was angry and mad as hell when I read in a magazine with as much circulation as Sports Illustrated that the Brown Band announcer at Army said something like, "Last year West Point graduated its first wonian. When is it going to graduate a man?" I fired off a complaint. Brown embraces the concept of "noble," it applies to the Band, [and] I see no place for slurs even in jest. A letter from the Band president eased some of that anger, explaining the remark was taken out of context and previously approved by their officials. And the rest of that anger turned to agape when a friend, often cynical, who had been at the Penn State game said the Band's uniforms were so snappy and their act so good the huge crowd would hardly let them leave the field. That showed me they are a win- ner as much as that fine [football] team despite such mundane things as final points on a scoreboard. What a thrill for them! I hope they will always remember it. IVIy preference is that a college band rely on college and standard band music rather than clever skits on ger- mane topics. After all, it is a college band, not a messianic society to reform the world. But that is one idea among many. I expect the Band, not I, to cull all the variables and make their own decision. That's another fact of life. And do it with their own convic- tion; victory without conviction is empty, loss without conviction is trag- edy. Conviction applies to planning band programs and executing them, too. In summary, plan your work with your own convictions, using the best information possible. Use the brickbats as guideposts. These are the facts; you are a good band, you know it. Brown knows it. It would not tolerate a poor band. Quit crying and keep trying. ElVIILE A. LeGROS '41 Stamford, Conn. P.S. Now, this done, I will go to my stereo to play the old 78s made in 1948 at WOR by the Band with the Glee Club and Brown-Pembroke Cho- rus and the 1974 LP that ends with the Ivy League medley, one so good my Yale-grad brother said the Bruin rendition of "Bulldog" was one of the best ever. Also, Jay Barry's "Wriston and Brown," supreme symphony; though the buildup and crescendo in Brown's giving me a check? Wouldn't it be nice to receive a check from Brown each year for the rest of vour life? An annuity tn.ist has always been an ideal planned gift to Brown, because it gives you a guaranteed lifetime income. But now a recent IRS change has made annuity trusts more attrac- tive than ever. You are now entitled to a signifi- cantly greater charitable deduc- tion. For example, if you are 50 years old and make a $25,000 annuity trust gift, with a s% guaranteed annuity return, you will receive $1,250 each year for your lifetime ami gain an imme- diate tax deduction of over $14,000! Annuity trusts were wonderful gifts before, but now they're even better.

Yo\ what other band could travel to the University of Pennsylvania and salute [Penn's] director of athletics, Ferdinand A. C'.eiger, by spelling out his initials on the field? What other band has been politely asked not to perforin at PR-conscious schools who worship not only their football programs but a vague entity called Image? Yet, while the idea is painful to many alums, there's a certain valuable aspect of the Band's antics which shouldn't be overlooked. To wit: Its often unfettered raunchiness stimulates the deadened psyches of those of us who may have forgotten what it is really like to be young and alive and gloriously free for four short years. So yes, Sharon, there are a lot of us out here who do like the Band. And some of us also find it odd that few ask the question that really matters: "Do they play well? " The answer is, the Band plays very well indeed. ROY O. STRATTON '52 Schenectady, N.Y. Vote of confidence Editor: I suspect that you were as exaspeiated as I was by the three notes that appeared in the December/Janu- ary BAM under the heading "The new design." All three authors say — in other words — that the "new" BAM looks more professional and more pol- ished than the "old" . . . and at least two of the three condemn the "new" BAM for that leason. Clearly this is a case of de gu.stihus. Some readeis evidently have a fond- ness for what Dr. Cohen calls "[the] ragged right" (in politics as well as in print), while I, for one, get nauseous at the sight of unjustified margins. My guess, however, is that almost everyone whom mental habit does not totally enslave will deem the changes you have made in the layout and format of BAM to be aesthetically pleasing im- provements. Furthermore, though I am not usually a betting man, I would gladly make a wager with Messrs. Weaver, Chomsky, and Cohen that the Meetings Are Our Oldest Tradition Some of our first guests —in 1773— were Yankees who met here to defy King George. Why not hold your next meeting here, where meetings are a 200-year-old tradition . . . where Colonial pewter glows . . . and where fireplaces crackle? We have fully equipped meeting rooms . . . air-conditioned guest rooms and suites with TV . . . food favorites of New England and the Continent ... a congenial Lion's Den Bar . , and all the seasonal sports, antique shopping, and sightseeing of the Berkshires.

Opening doors to other worlds Editor: I was dismayed that vou omitted an\ mention of Brown's for- eign student population in \oin- article on the 'internationalization" of Brown [BAM, November]. The University's foreign-student population can be an extremely valuable asset in the "worldly" education of an American student. Since I transferred to Brown in the middle of my sophomore year, I didn't feel that I could take the addi- tional titne awav from the college t(j participate in a study-abroad program. Instead, the "doors to other worlds" were opened for me by the many foreign students whom 1 came to know in international organizations on cam- pus through my job in the Foreign Student Ofiice. Through my informal contact with this talented and interest- ing group I began to e\aluate Ameri- can ideas and habits as an outsider would.

EASY CHARGE How would you like to recharge your car battery without ever opening the hood? Sound impossible? It's not, thanks to the Easy Charge. With traditional jumper cables you have to maneuver a second car fender-to-fender with the disabled cai; open both hoods, and attach leads from battery to battery The Easy Charge simplifies this process brilliantly by substituting connection from ciga- rette lighter to cigarette lighter. Just plug one end into the lighter of a running cat; pass the 16' cord through both car windows and insert the other end in the lighter ofthe disabled car. After a few minutes' wait the battery is recharged sufficiently to restart the car. The Easy Charge costs $20!00 ($2.95) #A629. TVvo for $37.00 ($3.95) #A6292. FRESH AIR MACHINES MORNING SUNSHINE PUMPING RUBBER Air pollution doesn't politely stop at the front door. The Bionaire 500 is like moving a mountain breeze indoors. It removes 99% of all particulate pollutants from the air — goodbye to soot, dust, animal dander, pollen, cigarette smoke, smog, molds and fungi. Allergy sufferers breathe easier, everybody breathes more health- fully. The newly developed electret filter removes particles as small as 1/10,000 the thickness of a human hair The Bionaire 500 cleans 45 cubic feet of air a minute, the average room three times an hour It includes a switchable ion generator — negative ions are well-known for their pre- sumed psychological good effects. A switchable fragrance dispenser allows you to add a fresh scent to the air when you wish. The Bionaire 500 measures U"x7"x5", uses only 45 watts energy, comes in a hard plastic case with wood- grain finish and costs $125.00 ($9.95) *A822. A larger model 1000 has three speeds instead of two and cleans 118 CFM of air. This unit measures 14"x8"x8'/2" with a lifetime steel housing. The Bionaire 1000 costs $275.00 ($12.95) *A823. All models are UL-Listed and carry 1-year limited warranties. Looking for a civilized way to wake up? The Proton 320 turns up the volume on the day gradually so you skip the usual shock of radio alarm squawk. Does your bedmate get up at a dif- ferent time? Forget fumbling around resetting — the Proton has independent dual alarms, each with choice of radio or electronic signal. But the real bonus comes once you are awake. The Proton radio is a high-performance AM/FMreceiver with fidelity exceeding many livingroom sets. Its sound is exceptionally crisp, clean and full. There is separate bass/treble control, automatic loud- ness compensation, 5" speakec abundant power Sophistication shows in other ways too. The time- set controls run forward and backward for faster easier setting. The LCD display dims itself in the dark, brightens in the light. Snooze bar offers 7-minute reprieve. Ramp-up volume eases up to level over 10 seconds. Sleep control lets you re- tire to music without rousing yourself to turn off the radio. Backup battery preserves time and alarm even with a power failure. There is also a date indicator should you wake up feeling like Rip Van Winkle. All this comes in a handsomely styled flat black compact case (3'4" x5'/2" x 10'/2") for just $119.00 ($6.95) #A989. No surprise that Proton gets rave reviews in the electronic and business press. It makes it hard not to wake up smiling. The Lifeline Gym may well revolutionize the exerci.se business. It allows you to simu- late just about any of the exercises done on the expensive machines found in health spas and gymnasiums. The reason is rubber — a stretchable rubber cable of the type used to stop planes landing on aircraft carriers. With this rubber cable, resistance increases with movement. This com- pensates for normal inertia and leverage gains, so your muscles are challenged through their full range of movement. The principal is known as variable resistance and it is at the heart of those fancy exercise machines. But the rubber is more effective yet. Because you have to resist its tendency to snap back on the return move, you gain a double benefit from your effort. You over- come positive and negative resistance in the course of each exercise. The Lifeline Gym is atjjustable for individual strength levels and for different body-shaping intentions. It comes with its own carrying case and illustrated instruc- tion/exercise book for $36.00 ($3.95) #A748. ULTRA-HUMIDIFIER Here is a new approach to humidifying that is so revolutionary and inventive that it makes all other home humidifiers obsolete. It's the ultra-sonic humidifier We discovered it last fall in Japan and during home use last winter found its performance to be truly outstanding. It uses extremely high frequency sound waves to break up water into a fine mist that carries and diffuses exceptionally well. One tabletop unit can humidify an entire 1500 sq. ft. apartment or house. It is also ultra-safe — the vapor stream is cold (even though it looks like hot steam) so it is impossible to get a burn. It is ultra-quiet — virtually noiseless, unlike conventional humidifiers. It is ultra-portable — measures only 14" X 6" x 9", weighs under 12 lbs. and has a convenient carry handle. The removable reservoir holds one gallon of water, refillable at any sink and runs for 10-12 hours on a filling. This humidifier by Bionaire has a humidstat control (low, medium or high) and shuts off auto- matically when it reaches the desired humidity level. Emitting nozzle swivels 360° and the unit shuts off automatically when empty or tipped over $149.00 ($10.95) #A888. TOOLS FOR LIVING DUST-MAGNETS' If we ever compile a book on The Old Ways That Were Better Ways, we will certainly include a chapter on lambswool dusters. On its own lambswool actually attracts and holds dust like a magnet. The static charge in the wool causes dust literally to leap off surfaces where it has accumulated, making these dusters just the thing for dusting bric-a-brac, china, crystal, pictures and other fragile items. The standard 27" long duster costs $7.00 ($1.95) #A780; the bent-handled model is $8.00 ($1.95) #A781; two mini-dusters cost $8.00 ($1.95) #A794. The entire group, a total of four dusters, is an ex- clusive Tbolsfor Living offering and costs just $16.00 ($2.95) *A783. Buying the group saves you $9.90, it's almost like getting one duster free! WATERING WHIZ Now you can water all your plants in a single trip with this handy indoor garden hose. This 50' vinyl hose comes with a set of four adaptors that readily attach to most indoor and outdoor faucets. From there you just take the water where you want it — an easy-control handle allows you to turn a splashless stream of water on and off as needed. There's a snap-in misting attachment, so after you water the roots you can spray the foliage. The kit costs $11.00 ($1.95) #A681. Two for $19.00 ($2.95) #A6812. DUAL ACTION EXERCISER This home fitness machine combines cy- cling and rowing action to give you a rigorous full-body workout. The dual action of this ex- erciser works the legs, arms, back, shoulders and chest — the contin- uous motion provides excellent cardiovascu- lar benefits. Cycling and rowing can be done si- multaneously or separate- ly Lock the handlebars and it's a stationary bike with smooth flywheel action. Tt'osidn i.s ac(justalilc with a conveniently located control knob. Unlock the handlebars for rowing or dual action. Hydrau- lic piston is acjjustable for variable rowing tension. This is a solid piece of equipment made by Vitamastei; the world's largest manufacturer of exercise bicycles. The seat is generously padded, :1 -! . r • i@ •i \ ^Wf/uiiJ^t / V J fully ac(justable for people of different heights. Frame is heavy-duty I'/a" welded 14-gauge tubular steel. Combination speedometer/ odometer and 30 minute bell ringing timer lets you monitor your exercise. The Dual Action Exerciser comes in desert beige, weighs 51 lbs. and costs $239.00 ($17.95) #A994. UL LIGHT BUTTON They are familiar household conven- iences now, the little half-wave rectifier but tons that attach to the bottom of light bulbs and extend their life 50 to 100 times, sparing you the trouble of bulb changing for years at a stretch while you save a bundle in bulb-replace- ment costs. But the Zana Power Disc is the first light button available that is UL-listed, meaning it has survived nearly two years of strenuous independent laboratory testing and been certi- fied safe for home and commercial use. It provides security along with savings, safe enough even for high-temperature recessed fixtures. We are off'ering 6 for $16.00 ($2.95) #A964. The manufacturer provides a 5-year warranty 7.FINGERED BLIND CLEANER Now a California de- signer has finally solved the problem nf how to clean Venetian blinds. This tool has 7 roller fingers, 4" long and covered with a syn- thetic lambswool that picks up and holds dust and dirt. Pull the trig- ger and the fingers spread enough to slip over the blind slats (6 mini-blind slats or 3 conventional slats). Release the trigger and the slats are held firmly between the cleaning rollers. Then move the cleaner back and forth along the blind, re- lease and grip the next set of slats. When soiled, the rollers can be removed and washed. $9.00 ($1.95) #A787. Two for $17.00 ($1.95) #A7872.

KA IHl.EEN M. SULLIVAN '82 New York City Dealing with the Russians Editor: The logic of Mark Garri- son's article on Soviet-American rela- tions, 'Dealing with the Russians: Some Do's and l^on'ts, " [BAM, Decem- ber/Januar\], has some disturbing im- plications. As 1 understand him, Mr. Garrison is saying that Soviet concern with national security and international prestige accounts for Russia's military build-up and politically competitive foreign policy. Identifsing peaceful coexistence as the paramoum issue of Soviet-American relations, Mr. Garri- son goes on to assert that Soviet sensi- tivity to criticism on the one hand and Soviet military might on the other make detente and quiet diplomacy the only rational way of preserving the peace while pursuing our own foreign policy goals. Despite some near lapses into moral relativism, Mr. Garrison does seem to concede thai the Soviet record on human rights is not a good one. However, he contends thai the lit- tle we can do to bring improvement to the Soviet human rights record can only come about if we lay a foundation for good relations by treating the Sovi- ets with the "respect and dignity" they so ardently desire. Mr. Garrison may well be right about all this, although what his argument really amounts to is that we must treat the Soviets with respect and dignity not because they have earned respect and dignity, but because they are so dangerous we must placate them. By making Soviet power and sensi- tivity to criticism, rather than Soviet domestic and inlernational conduct, the grounds on which we are to accord the Soviets respect and dignity, Mr. Garrison's argument leads to some Gk)od Meetings.

Consider three recent allegations of Soviet wrongdoing; Several years ago a State Department white paper asserted there was strong evidence the Soviets had supplied Vietnam with biological weapons in violation of the Geneva protocol on gas and bacteriological warfare; the Wall Street Journal recently reported that President Reagan's na- tional security experts had put to- gether reports detailing Soviet cheat- ing on arms limitations and anti-missile defense treaties; terrorism expert Claire Sterling has written that there is now a well-established So\iet-Bulgarian connection to the assassination attempt on the Pope. If any of these allegations are true even a moral relativist could find no excuses for the Soviets, since such actions would violate professed Soviet norms of international conduct. Yet, according to the standard Mr. Garrison proposes, even if all these allegations were true we ought still to treat the Soviets with dignity and re- spect, for they would be no less power- ful and proud if they were also deceit- ful and evil. It, for oin- own safety, we really must deal with the Russians through quiet diplomacy rather than open con- frontation, if we really must accord them respect and dignity in the face of evidence that they deserve neither; then the Soviets, through military might, have won a major victory; They have made it too dangerous for us to speak the truth.

However, those ihal are known included: tarix)ii monox- ide, iiilrogen oxides, orsianie chemicals (not om1\ rormaldehyde), and radon. L'siiig clean.sers without heavy odors in no way means that the odorless chcmi- ( als given off, which also linger, are less dangerous than those with odors. By far the greatest danger seems to be presented by radon, an invisible, odorless, radioactive gas that is a decay product of radiimi. Radiimi is in soil everywhere, including under the UEL and it is drawn into the house in the winter by the difference in indoor temperatures. The Environmental Protection Agency has estimated that 10,000 lung cancer deaths each year are caused by indoor radon — even with ordinary leaky houses. The danger in sealed-up houses is very much greater. Briefly, the danger is lung cancer caused by internal alpha particle omissions in the lung — the same that would be pre- sented by breathing plutoniuni dust. I strongly urge that Haroki Waid, the director of Brown's Center for Environmental Studies, and other University perscjnnel Icjok into this danger before allowing these five stu- dents to live in such dangerous cir- cumstances any longer. The easiest solution is to ventilate the house thor- oughly and continually. I would be glad to speak to Mr. Ward or anyone else from the Univer- sity about this in more detail. DAVID ROSENBAUM '56 Arlington, Va. The writer, a former director, radiation programs, for the EPA, has lectured at Brown on radiation dangers. Deserving recognition Editor: I read, with great satisfac- tion, the article about the completed Lhban Environmental Laboratory. The alumni and the University should be proud of the work and support that the staff and students of the Center for Environmental Studies, its director, Harold Ward, and the various profes- sional firms involved, put into the pro- ject. With the assistance of Douglas Halperin, a Brown alumnus, Beckman, Blydenburgh & Associates, Architects, of Picjxidcnce, were biought into the project in its initial stages. In addition to serving the traditional role of archi- tect, we assisted in development of the Lucian Sharpe Carriage House as site: writing the program for the facility; soliciting luiids loi ihc- pioject; and bringing publicity lo the i)roject. I hrougli maiuifaclurers' donations and mateiials, we saved the pioject over |50,0()(). Other individuals who deserve rec- ognition for their assistance in making the UEL a reality include: Ed Luppi and Carol Wooten oi the University's [physical plainiing] department; Ccjii- struction Coordinator Richard Bates; Andy Shapiro, solar consultant; and Rfjbert Ornstein, aichitect for supervi- sicjn cjf project.

ROMEO Cranston, R.I. The ivriter is director of the Department of Mental Health, Retardation, and Hospitals for the state of Rhode Island. UNDEKTHE ELMS Reform advocate Ted Sizer named to head education department Theodore R. Sizer is an educator and historian who wishes today's high school students were more dissatisfied and argumentative, and less obedient and docile. "This country was built by abrasive, interesting people who didn't accept the status quo," Sizer said in an interview with the Providence Journal last spring. "Orderlv folks do not en- rich a culture. It's the constructive, disorderly ones who do." .And .Ameri- ca's high school students, he has found in a major nationwide studv, are more interested in proms and football games than in challenging either their minds or authorities. Learning should be "inessy," he told another reporter. "Good schools are mess\ schools. " Sizer will bring such seemingly unorthodox views, along with his cie- dentials as former dean of the Har- vard Graduate School of Education and former headmaster of Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, to the chairmanship of Brown's educa- tion department this July. Sizer, who was a visiting professor at the Univer- sity last spring, will succeed current chairman Reginald .Archambault '52. A leading spokesman for educa- tional reform at the secondary-school level, Sizer recently capped a five-year study of eighty American high schools with the publication of a book, Horace's Compromise: The Dilemma of the American Hiirh School. It is the first report of three that are being developed b) "A Study of High Schools," a research project headed by Sizer and sponsored by the National Association of Secon- dary School Principals and the Nation- al .Association of Independent Schools. Six foundations have provided support for the project. "Radical," "controversial," and "most idealistic" are adjectives that have been applied by writers for Time and various wire services to describe Sizer's new book. In it, the Yale- and PHILLIPS ACADEMY Ted Sizer at Andover. Harvard-educated Sizer recommends doing away with grade le\els based on students' ages, with minimum ages for graduating, and with putting students in "tracks" based on ability or per- formance. The structure of today's secondary schools, Sizer believes, "is getting in the way of children's learn- ing." He feels students should be al- lowed to earn their high school diplo- mas at their own pace, however many years that takes. "There is no incentive to learn," he explains, "if kids can get a diploma by serving time, like prison- ers in a classroom." He suggests a So- cratic system of questioning and coach- ing, elimination of narrowly-defined subject areas, and a reduction of stu- dent/teacher ratios as other ways to alleviate what many educators agree is a nationwide crisis in the quality of .secondary schooling. As a full professor, Sizer will teach several education comses at Brown, but he also will remain active in na- tional efforts to reshape secondary education. "One of the things that has grown out of the study," he says, "is a coalition of schools — public and pri- vate — that will agree to test some of the basic principles [in Horace's Com- promise.] The secretariat for that con- sortium, which will be called 'The Coa- lition of Essential Schools,' will be based in Brown's education depart- ment." Sizer announced the formation of the consortium in mid-February, and he expects from five to twelve schools will sign on. "It would be nice," he adds, "if one of thein were in the Providence area." The coalition, coupled with Sizer's continuing interest in secondary edu- cation, heralds a new emphasis in the department. "The way I see it," Sizer says, "we will focus on adolescent edu- cation. When you make that kind of decision, vou make a small department such as ours [there are fi\e faculty] plausible. " He hopes to engage his Brown colleagues in working with tlie schools that join the new coalition. "I hope that kind of experimental effort will filter through to the work our undergraduates and our M.A.T. can- didates do," Sizer adds. "When good work is going on, it tends to infect evervbody. " Sizer expresses admiration for Brown's M.A.T. program, praising the University for continuing to support it when other imiversities have phased (Hit similar graduate programs. "Our schools desperately need very good teachers," he says. "I hope we can en- courage more of our imdergraduates to become teachers, too. " Current department chairman Reg- inald Archambault praises Sizer's ap- pointment, which was approved bv the Corporation at its February meeting. "Ted Sizer is on the cutting edge of educational reform," says Archam- bault, who will continue to teach at Brown. "His coming here is a marvel- ous opportunity for us. I think a change after this long time will bring some fresh ideas. " Archambault has been chairman of the department for sixteen years, and coordinates the University's highly-regarded Sinnmer .Academy for high school students {BAM, September). Says President Howard R. Swearer, "Ted will do much to expand Brown's efforts to assist in the strengthening of secondary education. We are very ex- cited about this appointment." Sizer and his wife, Nancy, a teacher, plan to move from Harvard, Massa- chusetts, to the East Side of Provi- dence — "close enough to campus," Sizer says, "so I can walk to my class- es." The voungest of the couple's four children will graduate from college this spring, and the)' look forward to getting acqiKiinlcd \miIi Hiowii stu- dents.

His travels took him up into orbit last November for a four-and-a-half-million-mile voy- age around the world, as one of the first non-astronauts to be sent into space. He returned from that trip and came back to Brown in mid-February to explain, in his words, "How I Spent My Thanksgiving Vacation." Lichtenberg's talk was part of a weekend program dedicated to the spirit and reality of scientific explora- tion. In addition to Lichtenberg's pres- entation, events included a discussion of future solar system exploration and the place of science in space. And the newlv-renovated Lincoln Field Build- ing, now housing the Northeast Re- gional Planetary Data Center, was re- dedicated. (The Planetary Data Center is a public facility operated coopera- tively by NASA and Brown, containing an extensive collection of data ob- tained by the LI.S. space program. It had been located in the Sciences Li- brary.) In the brochure announcing the program, a quote from the late geolo- gy professor Thomas A. "Tim" Mutch read, "Exploration is a singular kind of human experience. You have to un- derstand this to understand civiliza- tion." Lichtenberg narrated a movie that expressed his feelings about his singular human experience. "Getting into that space shuttle was like no oth- er experience in my life," he said with a trace of boyish excitement. "Sixteen seconds after take-off we were at su- personic speed heading straight up. 12 For the first couple of minutes, we In Sayli's Hall.

The thoughts he expresses are carefully shaped and his questions flinty and direct; that they flow from behind such a benign coimtenance is only briefly disconcerting. Giles Milhaven's happiness with his life, post-priesthood, stems from his love of teaching, lo\e of family, and love of wrestling methodically with a host of theological and ethical angels. He is an active Catholic lay theologian who speaks, writes, and is quoted on some controversial topics: abortion ("There's nothing in the Bible against abortion ... Where you draw the line on abortion is [the] real problem"), cel- ibacy (the mandate makes some priests "less than human," he has said; the Church eventually will sanction mar- ried priests because "they're losing too many of their good men"), and the rights and dignity of gays (he is on the National Advisory Board of The Con- sultation on Homosexuality, Social Jus- tice and Roman Catholic Theology; "I see mv gay friends suffering," he says, "and its horriblv isolating for them"). Milhaven also applies his educa- tion and intellect to problematic aspects of human psychology and rela- tionships. "I've been in group therapy for four years," he says, "and other people's minds fascinate me. I have a lot of friends who are therapists." But he would emphatically not like to be a therapist himself; "I don't want to be in control like that. I just want to be fully with people, enjoying them." In his courses at Brown, Milhaven ex- plores Freudian psychology. Christian values, and such emotions as love, anger, and hatred — all topics that fas- cinate him personally. He is as much a learner in his classes, he claims, as are his students. Students who take his courses on such topics as religious thought and psychology, contemporary Christian ethics, or anger, are assigned a pro- vocative melange of readings: Freud, Updike, Luther, Richard Wright, Flannery O'Connor, Sam Keen — to name a few. One former student par- ticularly remeinbers reading Updike's novel Couples in a course on passion and mysticism, and viewing Ingmar Bergman's film Cries and Whispers as part of "Religious Thought in Modern Literature and Art" (RS 25). While some students have prob- lems with Milha\en's strict adherence to schedules and insistence on disci- plined writing, many more find them- selves remembering their courses with 23 liini — and tlie man himself — long after the\ lia\e graduated. "There's a concept that vou have to come to Brown and have "the Mil- haven Experience,' " savs Matthew Munisteri '8ti, who took RS 132 ("Anger") last semester. "His classes are very personal. He teaches things he cares about. This course plays with my head more than any other. It's the onlv one of my courses that I talk about with my friends." T .M^ he he "Milhaven Experience" is, for students, at once highly structured and almost dizzyingly open-ended. In his introductory-level courses, which are organized in a traditional lecture- and-section format, Milhaven empha- sizes writing on a tight deadline. "After my lecture each week, the stu- dents have three hours to write a two-page paper on our subject. The papers must be typed, and I accept no late papers," the professor explains. In more advanced seminar courses, Mil- haven assigns a maximum of 100 pag- es of reading per week, plus a weekly paper in which the student comments on the class's most recent discussion and his or her personal reactions to it. The papers are due the morning be- fore class; Milhaven reads all of them and returns them in class with written comments. Dean of the College Harriet Sher- idan, who has long touted the impor- tance of teaching writing skills across the liberal-arts spectrum, is just one of many fans of Milhaven's teaching method. "I loved the discipline of hav- ing a paper due every week," says Charlotte Harvey '78, now editorial associate in Brown's News Bureau. "There was no huge paper at the end of the semester; rather, we were con- stantly honing our ideas. We weren't judged on the basis of two big efforts each semester." "Giles's classes were difficult for me," says Rose Engelland '79, who works at the Smithsonian and at the Chronicle of Higher Education in Wash- ington. "But in retrospect, they were incredibly helpful. With only three hours to write a paper, I had to bring my ideas together and produce some- thing. That skill has become really important in the kind of writing I do in my work." Milhaven warns students about what is in store for them right at the 24 start. "Kenneth Day ['76], who now 'A student is like a shark. My job is to bloody the waters' lives in Dallas, took six of my courses," he recalls. "Ken came back to see me six years later, and he remembered how I tried to discourage people from taking the course on the first day. I'd tell them, 'If you don't like to write every week, don't take this course. If you're looking for a course that will give you a survey of a particular topic, don't take it. I deliberately make my lectures disorganized; I leave things out.' " If this sounds somewhat off- putting, Milhaven says his strategy is effective: The students who stick with his courses are the ones who really have a commitment to his brand of learning. "It's basically the Socratic meth- od," Milhaven says of his classroom technique. "It may also have some- thing to do with my Jesuit training. The essence of a Jesuit education is that students are active. The teacher doesn't try to give information; he teaches the students how to read, write, and reason. "I try to expose my students to things they have never thought of be- fore. And it's a point of pride with me that nobody knows what / think at the end of a course. A student is a shark, not a sponge. Mv role is to bloody the "Show me that in the text," says Milhaven in his class on anger. waters. He holds reading assignments to 100 pages per week or less because, Milhaven says, if he assigned more than that, "they wouldn't do it. I stud- ied with Jesuits and I know all the ways of bluffing through 200 or 300 pages of reading and passing an exam on it." The readings, however, must be done intensively or a student will stick out in class, a mute among peers bub- bling with reactions and ideas. "Some assignments may only have been forty pages," recalls Stephanie Sanders "80, "but you couldn't forget about them." "He teaches you to read," agrees Char- lotte Harvey. "You learn to look be- yond your interpretation and to see what the author's intention was." His intense scrutiny of text and student papers takes many hours of Milhaven's own time. "It is a lot of work," he agrees. "Tomorrow, for in- stance, I'll have thirty-three papers to read from two sections of RS 25. That will take me at least five hours. Then I'll have to prepare questions on the text for the class that afternoon." P ^ art art of the Milhaven Experience is attending at least one class at the Milhavens' home. The house is on Penrose Avenue, a cul-de-sac behind Blackstone Boulevard in the eastern- most part of the East Side. In October, ten students made their way there for a meeting of RS 132, the course on anger. They were greeted by the pro- fessor and his daughter. Shelly, a pret- ty teenager with straight blonde hair and an affinity for cats and faded jeans. In the living room, the students crowded onto a sofa and chairs, or flopped on the floor. With its textured white wallpaper, off-white rug, bur- gund\' and blue upholsterv, and a min- imum of knickknacks or books, the room offered few clues to the person- alities of the house's inhabitants. ("You should see Giles's study," says a former student. "That's where he really lives, in the basement. It's filled with books, photographs — especially of the beach. He loves the beach.") Richard Wright's novel Xative Son In the Milhavens' living room, the professor (foreground} and students discuss revenge. was the discussion topic on this day. but Milhaven began by mentioning the Irish poet Seamus Heaney. Freshman Kevin Patrick nodded in recognition. "Heaney wrote several poems about the bog-women," Milhaven continued. "Their bodies were discovered in the bogs of Ireland; they were thousands of years old. But the bog had pre- served the bodies — you could even see the color of their hair. Some apparent- ly had been punished, caught in adul- tery, perhaps, and thrown in the bog. This haunted Seamus Heaney — the treatment of women through the cen- turies. He wrote about anger as a de- sire for revenge." Milhaven read the poem; one phrase spoke of "the exact and tribal intimate revenge." The ensuing discussion of Native Son ranged over questions of murder, death, anger, hatred, revenge, racial tension, and self-discovery. "What pos- itive thing does Bigger [the protago- nist] kill for?" Milhaven wondered. "He killed to find meaning and inten- sity in his life," said Donna Nesselbush '84. "He died for a conviction. He felt he stood for something," added Mat- thew Munisteri. "Show me that," de- manded Milhaven. "You look it up, and we'll come back to it." Later the class explored the dif- ference between hatred and anger in the novel. "Anger, not hate, is his main motive," Milhaven said. "Anger can be a kind of love — a desire to equalize things, to keep some kind of union with a person. You want to see suffering, to know^ you're not isolated. With hatred, you just want to get rid of the other person." "Bigger was expressing haired to- ward Mary," said Wes Siegal '86. "But by removing [killing] her, he expressed his anger toward white people. The imbalance was equalized. " Milhaven nodded, approving. "It's possible that Wright is spelling out what Aquinas and Aristotle only im- plied," he said. After an hour, the professor and his daughter brought out cheese and crackers. Some students made tea in the kitchen; others remained seated in the living room, continuing their dis- cussion of the book. Everyone in the class had spoken without being called upon. When the discussion resumed, Milhaven was still sipping his tea from an off-white mug covered with diago- nal brown lettering that spelled "ME ME ME ME ME," over and over. T .M^ he he reading list for one of Milhaven's courses includes The Diaij of A Country Priest, by French author Georges Bernanos (1888-1948). The fictional young priest includes in his diary portions of a letter he has re- ceived from a fellow seminarian who has left the priesthood. "You have re- alized for some time that I have now 'unfrocked' myself, as they call it," the friend writes. "But I am the same at heart; it is merely that niv view of life is more humane and comequently more generous." The same friend writes in another letter about their days in the seminary; " ...we were always playing at make-believe; we invented our trou- bles and jovs. we invented life, instead of living it. So before daring to take one step out of our little world, you 05 lia\f to bfgin .ill over again from thf bfgimiiiig. It is vct\ haid woik and entails much satrihce ol piide: but then to be alone is haidci still... Ciiles Milhaven lived lomforlabl) and happily in the world oi priests for twentv-five years. He dared finally to step out, and into the more demand- ing world of human passions and in- timacv, onl\ alier attempting several times to break o(f his lelationship with Anne Lallv, a former nun who taught at Cornelfs Medical (Center in New York City. Mis. Milhaven, who is known as "Annie," recounted the blos- soming of their relationship in an in- terview with the Providence Journal in 1973. They met in 1967, she recalled, four vears after she had left the relig- ious life because she felt stiHed by the male-dominated hierarchv of the Church. "I went out with [Giles] many times. Then we broke up because he couldn't reconcile the ministry with marriage. That didn't last very long, so we began to see each other again. " The couple "finally and irrevocably' stopped seeing each other, said Annie Milhaven, in February of 1969 — and they married a vear later. "From the very start I wanted to be a priest," Milhaven recalls. "I was the oldest of three children who grew up in New York City. \\\ three of us went into religious life; my brother has also since left the priesthood, and my sister is a nun who teaches at Medgar Evers College. My mother was from a blue-collar background; my father was white-collar. Priests were their biggest heroes. "I enjoyed religious life, and I still miss it a lot. I dream about it — about leaving, or coming back. The dreams very often involve the other priests' accepting my leaving. There was a ven strong bond among us; it was a power- ful support. "But I think what happened was that I grew in the religious life until I was ready to leave it. I found that I needed the intimacy of marriage." He proposed to Annie and she accepted, but they waited nine months before telling anyone. "I wanted to finish out my year teaching at Woodstock Col- lege," he says. When it became known that he would be available for teaching elsewhere, Ernest Frerichs '48, of Brown's religious studies department, invited Milhaven to be a visiting pro- fessor. Three months after he began teaching here, while he was still com- muting from New York, Milhaven was offered a permanent position with 'I grew in the religious life until I was ready to leave' tenure. He and Annie moved to Prov- idence; she became executive director of the Rhode Island State Nurses As- sociation and a member of the nursing facultv at Rhode Island College. (She has since left those posts to write a book.) The most difficult part of his tran- sition froin celibacy to marriage, says Milhaven, was becoming "bound with someone all the tiine. In a religious community, you're not bound to any- one. You are completely independent, but you have friends when you need them." Committing himself to an inti- mate relationship was "very difficult, very frightening," Milhaven recalls. "I got defensive. I think probably that was all linked with my drinking prob- lem, too." Milhaven has been sober for near- ly eight years. Asked if he would have clone anything differently in his life, he pauses, then says, "I would have stopped drinking sooner, about ten years sooner." But he insists he doesn't regret his earlier experiences with drinking. "A lot of my drinking was great; it spurred my personal growth. With four glasses of whiskev in you, you can really get to know someone. " After he had been teaching at Shelly, Annie, and Giles pose outside their East Side home. Brown several years, Milhaven was having increasingly severe problems with alcohol. "It just built up," he says. "Around 1974, I think, I showed up twice at evening discussion sessions drunk. It scared ine so much; it was a major effort just to get a sentence out. The class took over and ran the dis- cussion for me. The next day, two stu- dents came to see me in my office and expressed concern — 'We're worried about you,' they told me. They said the class had been terrified." In 1976, "I stopped," Milhaven says simply. He was helped by Alcohol- ics Anonymous, and now he continues to help people on campus who are fighting their own battles with alcoho- lism. "I believe alcoholism is an illness with a physical basis," he says. 'Tor me, drinking was a way of getting in that lovely stale, of enjoying myself with other people. That served me well for a while. Now I struggle to achieve the same thing without the alcohol." F J^ atf atherhood was not something Giles Milhaven envisioned, even after his marriage. Because of their ages, the couple accepted that they would have no children of their own. Annie occasionally mentioned adopting a child, but "I was strongly against it," Milhaven says. A friend who was a so- cial worker made a remark one day that stuck with him. "She said she could just see me as the foster father for an eleven-vear-old child. " The pos- sibility seemed more and more attrac- tive, and in the summer of 1978 the Milhavens were introduced to twelve- year-old Shellv, who had been raised for niiie years by her grandmother and then had lived in three different foster homes. There were difficult adjustments on all sides, but Shellv is now a per- manent member of the Milhaven fami- Iv. "It will be six years this summer," Milhaven says. "We're past the worst part. I can only remeinber one day that I said to mvself, 'We never should have taken that kid in!' .Actuallv it has turned out that I'm a very natural fa- ther." Milhaven has written extensively on love and a related topic, the human need for pleasure. (He prefers to call this, provocatively, by its philosophical name, "hedonism.") Love, according to Milhaven the moral theologian, is two-pronged; always it is both selfish and selfless. Steeped during his school- ing and religious training in the dog- ma that only "pure" love, or agape, is a worthy Christian emotion, Milhaven has struggled to leconcile the "selfish " feelings that propelled him out of the priesthood and into intimate human lelationships, with his Catholicism and Christianity. In an abstract published in The Journal of Religious Elhics in 1980, Mil- haven the new father used his love for Shelly to illuminate this dileinnia. "I desire that my daughter be, simply because she is she, simply for her own sake. ...At the same time, in another strand or corner or dimension of this same conscious love of mine, there is only me as loving father. I want that, too... "And so 1 love my daughter selflessly, purely, disinterestedly, but never only in that way. I have never known anyone who came anywhere close to loving in a purely selfless way. [Fenelon's] ideal excludes my other desire, the second strand of my love. It is the self-concern I see always there in good human love... "... I choose ... to believe in the miracle that self-contradictory, con- flicted love can be good and Christian, though it will always remain self-con- tradictory and conflicted." Love involves risk, too, as Milha- ven is acutely aware. In an article in America magazine (June 1977), he reflects on the Jesuits' freedom from ordinary human compulsions: for property, for sexual love, and for power. "Is it really better to be free and live that way? I admit I am biased ... I was once trying to live freely that way and believed I did. Now I love the other way, content to be driven by these same three compulsions, among others. Take my Christian love for my students. There is no question in my mind that I love thein out of a deep compulsion. I teach because I have a deep need to do so. My love for my wife and my friends is no different. My ... life of love nowadays is one that moves toward meeting my needs — consciously, deliberately and to the best of my ability ... It seems to me that you can only love vulnerably if you are exposing your needs, trying to meet them in your loving." M ilhaven's attention has now turned from love to anger. In his office on the second floor of the relig- ious studies building, where the spire of the Unitarian Church is visible be- hind him through a window, he ex- plains his interest in an emotion often viewed as ugly or bestial. "The biggest fight I have today with the Church and Christianity bears on anger," he says. "The Church treats anger as something bad. shameful. But continued on page 38 Students on Milhaven: 'Best course I've taken at Brown' Reactions to Milhaven were mixed. Some foimd him amiable, some found him well-prepared, others con- sidered him very ill-prepared. Class members found "the strength of this course comes directly from Milhaven, his time and intellect — but also from the minds and drives of the students to attain understanding ... of powerful issues." —From The Critical Review 1983-84 (Student review of RS 24, "Religious Thought and the Human Sciences"). RS 24 was, without qualification, the best course I have taken at Brown. Not for the timid thinker, nor for stu- dents unwilling or unable to be recep- tive to earth-shaking ideas. ... Milhaven demonstrated that he cared about each student's mind. — A sophomore's assessment. In (other) classes here people can be very passive. Giles's questions pro- voke a searching of yourself — not just intellectually, but emotionally, too. Vou can't sit at a distance. — Stephanie Sanders '80. He came down hard on me about my first paper; I remember being dev- astated at his harsh commentary; "I don't think you've gotten the point here at all." I wasn't used to that kind of criticism. — Rose Engelland '79. He has a gentle face and he seems to naturally look heavenward. Some- times when he speaks, a slightly naughty smile will cross his face. I sus- pect he is really an angel on probation and that beneath his shirt he hides tucked-in wings. — A participant in Brown's 1978 Summer College. I thought of you yesterday during my post-exam walk through the snow with a friend. I wanted to share with you my happiness at having finished my first semester — especially because our talk this summer got me so excited about starting medical school. Your excitement about the adventure I was starting meant a lot to me... — From an alumna's letter to Milhaven. It was exactly twenty years ago that I first encountered John G. Mil- haven, who taught me epistemology, Plato, and the history of modern phi- losophy. ... I once wrote a paper for him on the very subject of this confer- ence, truth. In a written critique, he began with a few remarks on the gen- erally good quality of my work, only to move on to seven pages of very de- tailed criticisms ... such as the follow- ing: "This passage strikes me as mis- leading and superficial," "You seem to be wandering incoherently," ... and "This is a radically cheapening misuse of Heidegger's point. " He left me with these words of encomagement: "You have real ability and I would recom- mend more studies such as these. But I would urge a more careful and faith- ful reading of the text, plus more genuine, personal thinking of your own." Well, here I am, twenty years later, still trying to heed his injunc- tions. — Remarks by Carl Rubino, Milhaven's student at Loyola Seminary in New York State, now a classics professor at the Uni- versity of Texas; introducing a paper at a conference held in November at Brown. Milhaven ... has a keen mind and does a good job of integrating ideas from students' papers into the discus- sion. And if you have a gripe, you can confront him one-on-one about any- thing without having him lapse into pseudo-intellectual defensive ness. Thus, a fine professor and a man of integrity! — A sophomore's assessment of RS 24. 27 E i 1 1 h Avenue and 57 th Sueet — one ot the most famous street corners in the world. TitTany's regalK dominates the intersection, and people pause to peer into its windows and fantasize. A few doors west of fiffaTiy's on 37lh sits the {'.alerie St. Ktienne, wlicre Jane Kallir '76 is living out some fanta- sies of her own. Kallir is the galier\'s director — buying and selling art for this small enterprise that has already gained a good measure of critical praise and popularity. The gallery spe- cializes in early twentieth-century Aus- trian art, but it is perhaps best known as the place where the world first viewed the art of .^nna Marv Robert- son "Grandma " Moses. Kallir has been working at the St. Etienne since 1977. She spent the first year after graduation working as an intern at the Ciuggenheim Museimi in New York. Ihen her grandfather. Otto Kallir. who foinided the gallers in this country in the forties, recruited her talents for the family business. "Few people want to be art dealers when they grow up. It's not something kids go around telling their mommies and grade-school teachers that they want to be," says Kallir wrvlv. "I thought 1 was going to be an artist, and f remember my grandfather tell- ing me, "No, you're not, you're not good enough to be an artist. You're going to come work in the galler\ .' Of course that infuriated me because nat- urally I thought otherwise. I found out at Brown that he was right. "Perhaps because of the academic environment — the fact that Brown is a liberal-arts school — f became very con- scious of the context into which art is placed after it's created, rather than thinking about art as an end in itself. I took some studio art courses, and courses at the Rhocfe Island School of Design, but 1 took a good helping of art history as well. Without realizing it, I was heading in this direction." Kallir says that more people be- come involved in the business end of art than in the creative side. "I'he idea of selling very high-priced objects has a certain glamour, which I don't neces- sarily appreciate. I get a great deal of pleasure simply from presenting art. Anything from mounting an exhibi- tion, researching an artist's working methods and development, or writing books ahoiil .nl. .Ml ol this tonics lo- gelher in what I do here." I'he {"-alerie St. Etienne "has a his- torv," as Kallir puts it. "My grandla- thei opened a gallery in Vienna in 192;V the Neue Gallerv. He dealt with contemporary Austrian artists of the period such as Egon Schiele and Gus- tav Klimt, both of whom died in 1918. The Neue Gallery was considered one of the leading cultural institutions in Vienna, but it didn't last long. My grandfather and his familv had to ffee Austria in 1938 when the Nazis took over. So he went to Paris and re- opened the gallery, renaming it in honor of one of Vienna's most cher- ished landmarks, the church of St. Stephen's [St. Etienne], which you could see from the Neue Gallery." Otto Kallir didn't last long in Par- is, because the Nazis invaded two years later. The Nazi regime considered Klimt and Schiele degenerate and for- bade public exhibition of their art, so once again Kallir packed up his family and his gallery and moved to New York. "In New York my grandfather found that these painters, who were considered national treasures in his country, were totally unknown. So he had to start from scratch in introduc- ing them. For a time, he just gave the paintings away in order to get them established. But finally, in the last dec- ade of his life, he saw a turnaroimd for the fin de Steele period, and it be- came almost a fad. Now, there have been many bestsellers from this peri- od." Q tto Kallir died in Novem- ber 1978, and Jane Kallir took over as co-director of the gallery with Hilde- gard Bachert, who had been Otto's as- sistant for decades. Although the gal- lery hadn't mounted an exhibition in many years (Kallir spent the last dec- ade of his life writing books and serv- ing as guest curator for other galler- ies), Jane Kallir and Bachert began to plan a series of exhibitions that would commemorate the achievements of Otto Kallir. They took a revolutionary approach to exhibiting, which brought the gallery the attention of the art world, and some notoriety among their competitors. "V\e'\e done a number ol shows that arc reallv more like museum shows than gallerv shows," Kallir ex- plains. 'We borrow from nuiseums all At Home in the World of Art Jane Kallir '76 is co-director at the Galerie St. Etienne in New York City, founded by her grandfather in Vienna in 1923 By Katheiine Hinds Photographs h\ John Foraste ,mm t: 30 over the country, as well as major pri- vate collections.

Now I've noticed some of them are doing things along similar lines. ' How can a gallery survive financially if it never sells any art? Kal- lir's answer describes the unusual pW\- losophy of the Galerie St. Etienne. "I think at heart that if vou are present- ing art, the idea is to make i)eople aware of it. to help them understand the an historical importance. In the long run, the fact that Schiele is a fad today, that auction prices in the mil- lions have been realized for his work — this is less important ihan estab- lishing such artists as equals ot some ol the French masters who are household words. If a gallery does a good job by contributing to the literature, by pro- viding research, and mounting top- grade exhibitions, ultimately more is done to secure the artist's reputation and therefore the eventual market value of his work than bv simply con- centrating on the sellings.

I pro- ceeded to do the only reasonable thing that a person lying in my predicament (facing three to six months of fiberglass incarceration) could do — I laughed. Little did I know how much a broken leg was going to change my By Katherine Hinds life — not only physically, but socially and psychologically as well. How 1 broke my leg is a story in itself, but the one thing 1 learned immediately is that everyone wants to hear that story. A person on crutches with one leg in a cast becomes public property in the same way that a preg- nant woman belongs to the world at large. When asked, 1 gave the expiu- gated, and easiest, explanation of mv disability — "I fell." (Okay, so it was from 3,000 feet.) Or, "It was a sports accident." (All right, so I was skydiv- ing.) The reactions to the real explana- tion ranged from admiring envy (ado- lescent males) to horror, mostly from my mother and people who are afraid of heights. I'm not afraid of heights — I'm a little afraid of flying, and bail- ing out of an airplane seemed to me an honest expression of my feelings. For the first twenty-foiu- hours after the accident, I floated somewhere in the twilight zone of Percodan and m\ psychological defenses. It took me a while to realize fullv the implications 54 of what had happened to me. Getting up to answer the door was a major highlight of the day, leaving me wind- ed and sweating like a horse with a broi^en leg. Gradually it dawned on me that I couldn't get into the bathtub to shower, I couldn't stand long enough to cook a meal, I couldn't do my laundry, I couldn't drive, I couldn't walk more than a few steps at a time. I couldn't beat my cats (and boy, did they take advantage of it). The list seemed endless. I had to face it: I was handicapped. After thirty years of becoming increasingly inde- pendent and self-reliant, I was sudden- ly thrust into the role of lia\ing to depend on people for the most mun- dane tasks. Fortunately, I work with a number of thoughtful, caring individuals who made the first weeks of my disability as close to joyful as the circumstances would allow. I was inundated with la- sagna, homemade vegetable soup, chi- li, enough pizza to feed Pisa, fragrant The daily monotony of being on crutches coffeecakes, loads of warm laundry, trashy inagazines and novels, a loaned stereo receiver, a phone hook-up in my bedroom, a ridiculous red knit hat to cover my loes for the fast approach- ing winter, offers of rides to work to last through 1990, and, most appreci- ated of all, simple companionship. There comes a time, though, in any disability when the bloom is off the invalid role. Once the excitement had waned and I was confronted with the daily monotony of being on crutches, my friends — unbeknownst to them — were faced with a dilemma. They could either offend me by offer- ing to do something that I was perfect- ly well able to do myself (the "I can du it, Moin" syndrome exhibited by most self-respecting toddlers); or thev could offend me by not offering to do some- thing that I really needed to have done but didn't want to ask anyone to help me with. Nobody likes to ask for help repeatedly. Lesson one: You learn how to ask for help. You also learn who your friends are. My friend Molly spent her entire adolescence on crutches as a result of a hip displacement when she was ten. I can't remember her needing help with things — carrying her books from class to class, or her dinner tray to the table in the dining hall. But when I ask her if it was difficult to cope, she groans, "It iinier got to be any easier." Molly is one of the most outgoing people I have ever known, and she attributes this to her handicap. "1 was a quiet, contemplative child. But once I was in a wheelchair or using my crutch, I dis- covered that I had to be the one who made the first move towards other people. I had to be the one to bring up the fact that there was something wrong with me. Otherwise people would be shy and not approach me." Lesson two: Being disabled chang- es the way a peison relates to stiangers as well as friends. I couldn't walk across the Green without every single person I passed — and that's not an exaggeiation — acknowledging the fact that I was picking my way through the icy patches with the help of two sticks of wood. "Bad time of year for that." "Teach you to spend your vacation ski- ing!" "Boy, you're brave to come out in this weather." And the ever unnec- essary advice, "Be careful!" I don't know how people who aie permanently disabled ever adjust to it. After ten weeks of depending on oth- ers, I started looking for ways to re- gain my autonomy. Gan I do my own laundry? Sure. Even if it means that I have to throw a garbage bag full of clothes down foiu flights of stairs and hobble down after it, sit on the wash- ing machine for a couple of hours, and then drag the bag up four flights of stairs one ... at ... a ... time, I'll do it. I'll walk, if you can call it that, the half mile to work so 1 don't have to depend on someone to drive me. The smallest victories take on the most enormous importance. I can walk to the post office to buy stamps. I can haul my garbage out to the curb. I can change the light bulb in the kitchen ceiling. In a sense this winter of physical discon- tent has enriched my life. At the risk of sounding like Pollyanna, I can say that I have experienced inany mo- ments of pure fulfillment that I would never have known otherwise. The third lesson is one that I will never learn: how to cope with a per- manent disability. I can cope with wv disability for the simple reason that it's temporary. I have the utmost respect and admiration for anyone who is fac- ing a life wheie every step is difficult and fiaught with risk, or worse, where steps themselves are impossible. The last lesson is easy. The next time I will look before I leap. Katherine Hinds is assistant editor of the BAM. JANE KALLIR continued need for something to reaffirm basic American values, which Grandma Moses expresses in her landscapes. The American public became alienated froin 'high' art, but as Moses became a popular artist she became disowned by the mainstream" — scorned, Kallir wrote, by that segment of the cultural elite that equated popularity with in- feriority. Kallir and Bachert mounted a Grandina Moses exhibition at the gal- lery last year, the last of the series in honor of Otto Kallir. Kallir had access to a great deal of previously unpub- lished material: letters by Grandma Moses, letters written to her, and a twelve-volume scrapbook documenting her critical reception by the press. Kal- lir then published her research in Grandma Moses: The Artist Behind the Myth (Clarkson N. Potter, 1982). And Kallir again did something unusual with this gallery show: She sent it out on ttie road, much like a museum show. "We aim for museum caliber with our gallery shows," she explains, "and so many museums are suffering fund- ing problems today that they can use a helping hand in mounting exhibi- tions." Kallir plans to continue this practice, because she feels strongly that there is a need for sending shows to small museuins aroimd the coimtry. Jane Kallir is young for someone who has accomplished so much. Not yet thirty, she has published several successful monographs and has mounted several popular — publicly and critically — shows at the Galerie St. Etienne. She says her youth has helped rather than hindered her growth. "When I was getting my bearings, I could feel my way and ask naive ques- tions without anyone realizing who I was. And now, I have such close rela- tionships with anyone we deal with — publishers, museum curators, customers. There are few things as in- timate as a reaction to a work of an. It doesn't really matter how old you are." 55 BOOKS Bv IVifi M.milfl FORMAL APPLICATION by Donald VV. Bakn '44. '49 A.M., '55 Ph.D. Barn- wood Press. 1982. $5.95 paper. 60 pages. "The poets apparently want to re- join the human race." This quotation from Time magazine is the epigraph that crowns the title poem of Donald Baker's collection, Formal Application. As a poet, the speaker of the poem asks himself: What will I have to do, how shall I apply myself if, in fact, I do wish to "rejoin the human race" — at least as it lives in the popular (but not wholly inaccurate) pages of Time} The poet realizes that he must, in a slightly different sense of the title, make a formal application to become human. "I shall begin by learning to throw / the knife," he writes, "first at trees, until it sticks / in the trunk and quivers every time . . . Meanwhile, I shall be teaching the birds / that the skinny fel- low in sneakers / is a source of suet and bread crumbs, / first putting them on a shingle nailed / to a pine tree, next scattering them / on the needles, closer and closer . . ." The poet/speaker will manage to win the trust of a particular bird ("a towhee, I think, in black and rust and gray") and qualify as a modern human being by suddenly and violently shat- tering that trust: "You see the splash of blood and feathers / and the blade pinning it to the tree? / It's called an 'Audubon Crucifix.' " The speaker's sarcasm is about as sharp as his knile. He has rejoined the human race not only through his act of cruelty, but in the best journalistic tradition, by giving cruelty a "pleasing (even pious)" name. Laurence Perrine, editor of the widely used poetry textbook, Sound and Sense, has called "Formal Application," "one of the remarkable poems of the past two decades." But there are many other good reasons to order the book of the same name from Baker's pub- lisher (The Barnwood Press, RR#2 Box lie, Riverhouse, Daleville, Ind. 47334). "Recent American Fables" is a series of prose poems included in the 56 collection. In the first of these, "The Campaign of a Billion Flowers," an unidentified president "proclaim(s) compulsory joy" as if he were the king in Camelot: ". . . the computers must have ap- proved: camellias burst from the tubes, all the tapes grew heavy with scent, and there caine to pass orchids as light bulbs, ivy as telephone lines. Madison Avenue switched to the cultivation of poppies. Howard Johnson's invented the rose-flavored clam. The pages of Time turned green." The Cainpaign is a sweeping suc- cess. Everyone is persuaded except for the reader, who smells the rotting core of all these flowers. At the end, the president wonders — at dawn in the White House — "why his right hand shriveled to thorns like a ratspaw, why violets blackened wherever he walked." Baker writes about his life and fam- ily in Formal Application. .\s poet in res- idence and Milligan Professor of Eng- lish Literature at Wabash College in Indiana, he also subjects his profession to scrutiny — the book's final five poems are titled "Teaching," "Advising," "Reading Examinations," "Professor," and "Senioritv. " If anything will save poetry from the ash heap of academic reading it is Robert Farnsumih lightly-handled Innnor; and here, iti the most overtly autobiographical sec- tion of the collection. Baker is able to poke a little fun at his work. OI his advisees, he writes: "One after another they come / into the office, muscles, / pimples, wanting conclusions." He is even at his most musical in this vein, using the letter k like castanets; "Then, by God, my / typewriter knocks, wom- en walk in, / kick off their shoes, Ann, / Becky, my whole unlucky / alphabet." This is effective poetry — nice sounding and surprising, too. The poem "Reading Examinations" sums up the professor's fantasies of escape: "They ruin the weekend, these blue / confessions. I should get drunk, call / Rena, drop out of this town, this tomb, / drive, south. Interstate 65, Mobile, / New Orleans, pull off my shirt / in the sun, sleep until Monday. / Years ago I should have dumped them, / got out from under." Perhaps Professor Baker, poet Baker, needn't make a formal applica- tion to "rejoin the human race" after all. THREE OR FOUR HILLS AND A CLOUD by Robert Farnsworth '76. Wes- leyan, 1982. $6.95 paper. 64 pages. d This unpretentious first book of poetry "originates in the seaside land- scape where Farnsworth grew up." The poems are descriptive, but gently so; rather than saturating his work with images, Farnsworth uses them where he needs them, often with a brilliant touch. In the poem, "Coloring Book," he begins, "The strawberries lie in a dish of cream. / The man has chosen them, pulled / their green crowns off and halved / their whole red hearts with a knife." Farnsworth has worked most re- cently as a teacher of writing and liter- ature at the State University of New York and at Ithaca College. Some things remain with you forever.
