Sweating in style

As a ny fi tness buff will tell you, the problem
with exercise bicycles is that pedaling
away to nowhere is boring.
But a new model on the market is
designed to change all that. lt"s called the
''Heart Mate," a nd features a built-in color
TV and stereo, a llowing exercisers to tune
into stork market reports or the day's soap
operas.
The bike also has its own computer to
take riders through several simulated

being burned off.

Politician hits
warpath
claiming lesbian
indoctrinating
students
at college
Officials at Cal Sta.te University in Long
Beach, Calif., admitted June 8 they are
investigating allegations at the urging of
a state senator that a woman instructor
there attempted to foster "lesbian indottrination"
on students, reported UPI.
The new charges involved part-time
instructor Betty Brooks, who refused to
comment, the news agency said.
An aide to Republican elate Senator
OJlie Speraw of Long Beach said the allegations
were brought to the attention of
college officials by the senator, UPI
reported.
"They showed six slides of closeups of
women's genitals. All of these classes,
from what we've been able to tell, were
slanted very strongly toward advocating
lesbianism," aide Jan McKnew was
quoted.
The elides were part of a clase called
"Women and Their Bodies" and was presented
between 1979 and 1981, UPI
reported.
College officials admitted an investiga·
tion of Brooks was taking place at the
request of the senator but declined to discuss
details, UPI said.
The allegations and other information
were released by the senator's office, UPI
said.
The
quintessential
leather man
Commentary by Greer Price
International Gay New• Arency
The fourth International Mr. LeatherConteet
wae held in Chicago May 7-9, and that
remarkable city was all themoreremarka·
hie during thoee three daye, due to the
nearly 2000 gay men from all over the
world present. The fact that every one
there wore black leather made it all the
more fascinating.
To the uninitiated, it was admittedly a
bizarre event. The world of leather is ill
defined and poorly understood, even
among gay men. It has facets that are
psychological as well as sexual, and I'd
venture to say that most of the men who
were there for the first time had little idea
of what it was really all about.
For those who attended, it was an
extraordinary gathering in almol'lt every
respect. To begin with. it was a rareoppor·
tunity for a special kind of fellowship
among gay men, a fraternal event, like a
Jodg€" m€'eting or a motorcycle run, but a
June 11, 1982/MONTROSE VOICE 5
positive one. The feelings of camaraderie,
community, and pride were evident
throughout the weekend, manifested in a
dozen different ways.
The major event, of course, was the con·
teet it.eelf: a lengthy, well-put-together
show that took place on a Saturday night.
Twelve hundred people attended, with at
least 500 others turned away for lack of
seating. Forty·six contestants from
throughout North America competed for
the title of International Mr. Leather, the
man who represents gay leathermen to the
world. The extent to which that is true is
beside the point. The gathering of men
from all over the globe is what makes it so
remarkable.
Twenty-nine semi-finalists spoke a few
words about themselves and paraded
around in outfits representing the "tot.al
leather image." The winner of this year's
contest, Luke Daniel, concluded hie brief
but moving speech by removing his left
boot and eating it (thus gaining points for
both sincerity and originality). The enter·
tainment was first-rate and included an
all·male dance troup known as the Buffalo
Chipe, a fine illusionist (Rich Tutacko),
and MC's Herb and Potato, who lent an air
of contrast to the proceedings. In a room
that was black leather from wall to wall,
Herb's gold sequins were something of a
relief.
But the three days surrounding the con·
teet are what people came for, and they
were truly unique: from the crowd
gathered outside the Gold Coaet to pick up
their registration packet.e (which included
a bottle of poppers and two packet.e oflubricant),
to the "eye-opener" brunches
eerved each day at 1:00 p.m.
The contest's critics maintain that it is a
money-making event (which it is), that it
is male dominated (which it is), and that
it's Chicago-centered event (which it is).
But the city of Chicago has never been
more attractive and hospitable than it was
for thoee three daye, and neither the Eaet
Coaet nor the Weet could have garnered
such a geographically diverse crowd.
The contest is a bJatant celebration of

masculinity, as rather narrowly defined
by the participants, but a ceJebration non·
ethe)et;S. And though no one would think
to call it a fund-raising event, weJJ over
$1000 was raised for the Gay Righte
National Lobby when theeubjectabruptly
came up.
More importantly, it was one of the ve!'Y
few opportunities for gay men to gather m
such numbers. Even within the narrow
confines of that crowd, it was an amaz·
ingly diverse group. As one contestant put
it "Any time you get over a thousand gay
~en together, it's bound to be special."
And so it was. [t may have concerned only
a small percentageofthegay male.popula·
tion, but for those who were there, it was a
memorable occasion.

The American Council of Science and
Health says advertisers are using scare
tactica to capita1ize on the public's concern
about health, and they may come to
regret it
For instance, the council says 7-Up ads
promoting the soft drink as "caffeine free"
mi1lead consumera into thinking caffeine
is a threat to health.
The council also criticizes coffeemakers
for selling brands rich in caffeine, while
offering decaffeinated coffee as a 0 aafe"
alternative to their own products.
Council director Elizabeth Whelan predicta
thoee ad strategies will backfire and

Billie Jean
King's ex
IntemationaJ Gay Sew• Acency
The husband of tennis star Billie Jean
King filed a .57.5 milhon lawsuit in Los
Angeles against his wife's former lover,
Marilyn Barnett, and her attorneys,
claiming malicious prosecution.
The suit was filed by Larry King, alleging
that Barnett wrongly accused him in a
1981 civil suit against the Kings of agreeing
that she could live in the Kings'
Malibu beach house and that Billie Jean
would support her for the rest of her life,
and then repudiating the agreements.
King. a sports promoter, said that he
and his wife never made such agreements
with Barnett and that Barnett knew that
when she sued the Kings in a sensational
manner last year
Barnett lost her lawsuit last December
when Judge Julius Title ordered her to
leave the beach house. The judge said that
Barnett's actions toward the Kings was
close to "attempted extortion."
The case took on prominence because of
the isaues of lesbians in sports, the rights
of same-sex lovers, and the legal claims of
homosexuals vs. married couples.

HOW TO STOP
SYSTEMATIC SUICIDE
A Full-Day Workshop by
LEE M. SILVERSTEIN, M.S.W.
Rockville, Conn.
Nationally-Known Mental Health Author, Consultant,
Lecturer, Therapist, Counselor
Saturday, June 26, 1982, 9am-4:30pm
Autry House, 6265 S. Main , Houston
The Workshop
Most people don't commit suicide by iumping from tall buildings,
says Lee M. Silverstein. "They do it inch-by-inch by abusing drugs,
alcohol or food: by smoking. gambling, over-working, over-spending
and not wearing car safety belts. Millions practice such systematic
suidide to avoid the problems of living."
People do the very best they can thetie days, he says, but they are
constantly bombarded with confusion wherever they tum, in work
and in personal relationships. As children we learn that when we feel
bad, we need to find something to make us feel better. Some of these
behaviors, these "bad habits," are destructive and become systematic
suicide.
Every bad habit, however, can be replaced with a positive a ltem a·
tive, maintains Silverstein. Meditation, religion, counseling, therapy
and self.help groups are all tools that help develop wellness skills. He
also offers his own set of six guides for living that help improve the
quality of life. These guides, to be developed by each workshop participant
for her his individual situation, include:
• Accept responsibility for yourself
• Act retiponsibly
• Focus on the present
• Evaluate the consequence of every alternative
• "Do" your plan
• Do it over and over.
Lee M. Silverstein
Practicing what he preaches, Lee M. Silverstei n has himself over·
come alcohol, drug abuse and other of the "bad habits" he cites as
systematic suicide. He is co-author of two books: "Consider the Alternative"
and "High on Life." He holds a master's degree in social
work, is a Certified Reality Therapist, is a consultant in human
services at Rockville, Conn., General Hospital and is in constant
demand for presenting workshops throughout the United States.

'Gay diseases'
reported again
on the rise
International Gay Newe A&'ency
They have already killed more people than
Legionnaires Disease and Toxic Shock
Syndrome combined, but GRID illnesses
(Gay-Related-Immuno-Deficiency ill·
nesses) have not yet received major attention
from the nation's health authorities.
Part of the problem is the "gay" cancer
(Kaposi's sarcoma) and pneumocystis
pneumonia are linked in many minds with
a stigmatized minority.
For some, although the causes are not
yet known, blame is being placed on sexual
activity, drug use or other aspects of a
gay lifestyle.
Author Dan Turner, who has KS, said
that he has been advised by his doctor to
avoid having sexual relations because it is
feared that the cancer may be caused by a
virus that is spread through sexual activity.
There seems to be a pattern emerging
that shows a connection between yeast
infections in the body and a later emer·
gence of KS. Possibly a one-celled organism
is responsible for the problems,
although no definitive conclusions have
yet been reached.
Scientists fear that GRID problems may
spread into the non-gay population before
they find the solution. New figures show
that a growing number of women and
bisexual or heterosexual men have come
down with one or more of the mysterious
diseases.
In the 11 months since the first American
case of KS was reported to federal
authorities, the new diseases have struck
335 Americans, killing 136.

Only 15 percent of the gay men diagnosed
in 1979 for KS are alive today_ Twothirds
of the reported 1980 victims have
died.
The worst killer seems to be the pneumonia,
where the death rate is usually 50 per·
cent of those attacked by the disease.
"In San Francisco, it's an epidemic (65
gay men) beyond anything that's acceptable,''
says Dr. Selma Dritz, assistant director
of the bureau of communicable disease
control for San Francisco's Department of
Public Health. "It's like nothing we've
ever had."
It is still unclear whether sexual practices,
poppers or other drugs, a history of
diseases, or treatment for diseases-or a
combination of all these fators-are
behind the epidemic.
Several sets of lovers and roommates
have come down with same GRID disease,
leading some researchers to suggest that a
virus is involved.
Some researchers are optimistic that if a
virus is the cause, a solution to the GRID
problem could bring a solution to the
causes of all cancers.
The issue promises to become a major
social and political issue, with conservative
elements calling for quarantines of
hom~sexuals, or worse, and others using
the diseases for nonmedical reasons.
Congressman Henry Waxman, chair·
man of the House Subcommittee on
Health and Environment, laat month
accused the federal government of being
slow to reapond to gay-related diseases_
"There is no doubt in my mind," Waxmen
said, "that if the same disease had
appeared among Americans of N orwegian
de.cent, or among tennis players,
rather than among gay males, the
reaponse of both the government and the
medical community would have been
different."

Gay man,
claimed raped by
woman, to face
manslaughter
charges
International Gay Newe Agency
A man who claimed he was gay and had to
kill a woman in self-defense because she
raped him and threatened to !rill him will
not have to face a retrial in San Diego for
murdering the woman, even though the
jury did not formally acquit him.
But the California state Supreme Court
in a Ho-2 decision ruled that Clifford
Stone can still be retried for mam1laugh·
ter.
Stone was tried a single charge of first·
degree murder of Rose McNeil·
Muhammad on November 9, 1979. After
nine days of deliberation. the jury said it
wa · deadlocked, and the judge declared a
mistrial.
Stone appealed, claiming that he could
not be tried again for murder because the
jury had informally acquitted him of first·
and second-degree murder charges
The high court agreed, saying that a
retrial would violate Stone's constitu·
tional right not to be tried twice for the
f\&mecnme.
The court decision to let Stone face man·
slaughter charges, if not first- and seconddegree
chargei-, made no reference to the
unusual defense put forth by Stone during
his 10-week trial. But court documents
noted that Stone made two tape-recorded
conf~sions in which he said that he was
gay and that he had killed the woman in
self·defen•e after she raped him.
According to the documents, two
experts t""tified that the dead woman had
a "propensity for sexual aggression."
The experts (male professors from Yale
and t:SC medical schools) testified that
there haa been proof that females can rape
men. They both concluded, "based on data
on the deceased," that McNeil·
Muhammad had indeed raped Stone.
Originally Stone was charged with
rape, sodomy, and forced oral copulation
in addition to murder. But by the time of
his trial, all but the murder charge were
dropped

Circuses coming

America's traveling circuses are folding
up the big top for good, reports the Chi
cago Tribune.
The Circus Historical Society says most
circuses are following the path of the
industry IPader, Ringling Brothers. and
renting auditoriums instead of sE>tting up
tents at each stop
Currently, onJy three major circuses still
perform under the big top. and although
the society say:-; TV sports events ftnd
movies are tutting into attendance, that
doesn't mean the circus is dead.
Last year. about 12 million people
attended circuses.

Houston's turning
to the Voice!
All over Houston each week, thousands of gay
readers now pick the MONTROSE VOICE as their first
choice.
In fact, the "Newspaper of Montrose" is now one of
the largest gay newspapers in the country.
This is even more significant when you consider
that the VOICE is not nationwide, not statewide. The
VOICE is just Houston.
The MONTROSE VOICE distributes 7000 copies each
week-all in Houston-that get into the hands of an
estimated 18,800 readers. In fact, the VOICE's Houston
distribution is nearly twice that of our competitor.
To regular readers of the VOICE, our rapidly
exploding new popularity comes as no surprise. After
all ..
• Because the VOICE is just Houston, readers and
advertisers don't get lost or confused by ads from
other cities.
• The VOICE is a professional news operation. We
investigate stories and state sources. News is serious
and we're serious about it.
• The VOICE has each week page after page of
news about gay H_ouston and Houston gay entertain·
ment. Our competitor only devotes a few inches each
week to similar Houston material.
• The VOICE's new sports page provides in depth
stones each week on the Montrose Sports
Association-including softball, bowling and volley·
ball. Our competitor devotes less than half as much
space each week to Montrose sports coverage.
• The VOICE covers national gay news and
presents in-depth national gay features each week, as
the VOICE subscribes to all six existing gay news
and feature services, including news from the Inter·
national Gay News Agency and features from
Stonewall Features Syndicate. Our competitor sub·
scribes to none of these services.
. • The VOICE has award winning cartoonists,
including our own Max Angst (who is now syndi·
cated nationwide). San Francisco's Gary Larson and
Austin's Ben Sargent (winner of the 1982 Pulitzer
Prize for Editorial Cartooning).
• The VOICE has the experience. Henry McClurg,
our publisher, has been producing newspapers in
Houston since 1973.
• There's no "thumbing" by news and advertising
in the VOICE. Most of our readers read each page,
page by page. And, most of our readers read the
VOICE at home, not hurriedly at the bars. At home
they've got the time to read the publication thoroughly.
• The VOICE has earned the respect of its readers.
They know if they read it in the VOICE, they can
believe it.
• The VOICE circulates through over 70 major
distribution points.
Yes, Houston's turned to the VOICE in record
numbers. And as a reader or advertiser, we invite you
to tum to us too. We, as the only gay publication just
for Houston, would like to be YOUR first choice.
And even though we now out-circulate our competitor
almost two-to-one in Houston, our advertising
rates are lower-much lower. New advertisers in the
VOICE, who are used to advertising in the other
publication, receive two big surprises:
• The results they receive with nearly twice the
Houston circulation they had been used to, and
• Their bill.
You see, quite simply, they'd been paying too much
for advertising and getting too little actual circula·
tion in return.
We invite you
to turn to us too.

The Galleon resumed their hitting
where they left off before the Memorial

The industry is buzzing over 'E.T.'
Summer movie fever about to arrive
By John W. Rowberry
International Gay News Agency
There are two unusual aspects to the rash
of 1982 Summer movies about to be
released: this year will see the largest
number of major motion pictures released
during a single season, and the majority of
the releases are going to receive major
audience and box office attention .
Why? It seems the summer of 1982 has
by chance become the season when Holly
wood, and everyone else involved in film
making. has its blockbusters ready for the
projection room.
But first, the real surprise: Steven Spcil·
berg's E.T., destined, if you can believe the
advance word from everyone on the
inside, to become the blockbuster of all
time
We'rr talking bigger than Star Wars,
bigger than Close Encounters, bigger
than Raiders of the Lost Ark.
How can that be, you ask? In the few
select screenigs E.T. has already had
within the movie making superstructure,
word has it that even hardened corporate
executives are walking out of the film
dazed, mouth open in awe, muttering " (
can't believe it, I can't believe it." Every
film promoter and publicist is buzzing
that E.T. may end up being the movie of
the decade. The ultimate film. The defini
tive movie experience.
And what is E.T. about? E.T. stands for
Extra Terrestials.
The second big bonanza is going to be,
again from the same inside mouths, Poltergeist;
which is, ironically, a Spielberg
production . Here the word is that the special
effects in the film (poltergeists are
spirits that move things) are the best yet
seen on the screen.
Star Trek.· Th,, Wrath of Khan is, besides
being the second Star Trek movie, a whole
new ball game. Except for the cast (which
I'm sure is alright for Trekkies), the movie
is every inch a new adventure with a much
different approach than the first Trek
movie. The word is better. And the ex pee·
tations are very high for a film that
sounds like, but isn't really, a sequel.
Grease Two is a sequal, of sorts, except
that Travolta and Olivia are no longer
part of the story line. Enter Maxwell Caulfield
as the lead, and Caulfield-if you
missed him in After Dark or Interview-is
one of the most beautiful men on the face
of the earth
His co-star, Michelle Pfeiffer, looks like
Olivia, but then nowadays everyone does.
Caulfield plays the cousin of the original
Newton-John character. He comes to
America from England, meets Michelle
and falJs in love. To prove himself, he tries
to become a 50s greaser.
Watching this pristine beauty trans·
formed from the ultimate boy next door to
an earthy, if stylized, greaser is the most
exciting Hcreen transformation since Lon
Chaney became a wolfman.
Annie ie the wrap up for the big musi
cals, unless you count The Best little
Whorehouse in Texas. which will fall into
the Summer-Fa11 category. Annie has
already h•en hyped toth•skiesand loving
it will depend on how much you like mu~i·
eala and how long you'll have to wait m
line before you get in the theater
Tht• Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
will bt> an eusier relationship: Dolly Parton
can do no wrong and Burt Reynolds is
a much better light comedy actor than his
following wants to admit. The car chaHt•s
in Wh<m•hou.w~ are kept to an absolute
minimum
Not to be ovt·rl<>0ked, however, is 7'ht•
Pirate Moc •ie, a Nlightly-modern version of
Gilbert und Sullivan's Pirates of Penanze
with Christopher Atkin (The Blu.l.
a111xm) and Kristy McNichol. Whil•
Pome of the origmal Gilbert Sulhvan
songs have been left in (although slightly
rewritten), enough new material has been
added to almost make this an origmaJ
musical. The word is: enchanting.
On the real serious side of the summer
movies the top of the list is the amazing
success of Conan, The Barbarian. Either
the pre--release publieity was right-on, or
the rather weak dialogue and predictable
action of this classic sword and magic
story was exactly the right mixture to
attract the mainstream. Conan has
already made over $10 million and it is set
to play across the con try all summer long.
Rocky II/is. without a doubt, the best of
the Ro<ky films-too bad it didn "t come
earlier. The problem may be that audien·
<es have had enough (look at the fate of the
final in the Omen trilogy). Here the script
and the pacing of the movie are all meshed
into an action film with some reason for
being besides bloody faces.
Stallone has learned a great deal from
Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull-and the
fight scenes in Rocky Ill are cinematic
works of art.
Megaforce. if you haven't already
guessed, is about a state of the art private
policeforce-for-hire set in the very near
future. This group, lead by Barry Bostwick
and Michael Beck, uses equipment that is
straight out of the Twilight Zone design
school. Still, for aJI its adventure and
super machismo, Megaforce has a sense of
humor
There is no humor in The Road Warrior.
the retitled Mad Max IJ, a sequel to one of
the darkest and most haunting of the new
nihilist films. Mad Max Il. or The Road
Warrior, is a savage futuristic film filled
with as many images of black leather and
chain as a Kenneth Anger film, or a night
in a leather bar. But for all it's brutality.
Michael Sarrazin & Tom Skerri tt
in "Fightin_g_ Back."
Kristy r.;cNichol with Christopher Atkins
in "The Pirate Movie."
Sean Connerv in "Wrong is Right."
Movies
The Road Warrior is both even-handed
and a cut above what you usually get
when you mix violence with gasoline.
Two similar films are bound to cause
some confusion. The Dino De Laurentiis
version of a group of citizens tired of being
vandalized by street punks is called Fight ing
Back and stars Tom Skerritt and Patti
LuPone (straight from Evita). The other
similar fiJm is cal1ed Vigilante and stare
Robert ForeRter and Fred Williamson.
Other than that, they are as different as
night and day.
Shghtly more gory is the new fil~ by
George A Rom~ro, the much touted ~1rector
of the original Night of the Lwmg
Dead; his entry. Creeps how, has an original
screenplay by the master of the suspen•
eful printed word. Stephen King (The
Shining}. Guaranteed to get your hands
up in front of your eyes
The final Summer creepie mo\de is the
all new ver~iun of The Thing, whiched is
based on the original novel and not the
well-know James Arness version availa·
hie any Saturday night on the late show,
Light and romantic? Or just light? Try
Hanh· Pank.,·. a mixture of silliness,
Gilda· Radner and Gene Wiider. There is
international intrigue, murder (yes, Virgi·

Al Pacinc. just might make a comeback
after his absurd stint in Cruising with his
hght·hearted. but sincere. role in Author.
Author. As a playwright with scene problems
and a married man \\rith mistress
problems, Pacino plays off Dyan Cannon
(as th actress on her way to the great
bedroom sC'f'ne) and Tuesday Weld as the
wife on the way out the door. At last,
Pacino plays a character that is only normally
crazy!
Young Doctors in lol'e promises to do
for hospitals and daytime soap operas
what Airplane did for control towers and
disaster movies. An unmitigated dark
satire, Young Doctors is set in a hospital
you will have to see to believe. Noone dies
(except of a broken heart) and no one
bleeds (even in surgery). The only compli·
cations are the lusts of the characters . ..
rather, the staff .. . and lust is epidemic.
The unexpe<'ted big event of this
summer may weJI be Kenny Rogers' big
screen debut in Six Pack, a routine for·
mula plot about a race car driver and six
teenage hellions that stands to pick up
tremendous audience appeal over Rogers'
powerful sCTeen presence. His TV movies
have been rating blockbusters, and not by
coincidence. Rogers. regardless of how
you feel about country, western, or race
cars-is a charming and wholesome aJlAmerican
type with just enough of a
father image to inspire confidence and
just enough sex appeal to keep him firmly
in the running
It's easy to dismiss movies likeSlx Paek
or Cannonball Run as being so much red
neck hoopla. Still, don't overlook what can
he the most telling traits of all: honet;ty,
warmth. and charm.
And after summer is over. what is there
to look forward to? Try Summer Lm·ers.
yet another film by Randal Kleiser about
the loss of innocen« on an exotic island.
Yes, the director of The Blue Law'JOn is
back with another adolescent "discovery"
movie, this time a young boy and two girls
on a Greek island during .. an unforgetta·
ble summer that would change their
lives.'
Or maybe Fast Walking, a prison pi~
ture from the guard's Point of view. Or.
Crosstalk, an Australian thriller about a
computer involved in a murder. But if all
else fails. take comfort in the fact that 20th
Century Fox will re-release the original

Montrose address not just a number but a way of life
Photostory by Ed Martinez
Newcflmers to Houston are faced with a
bewildering range of choices. One of the
most perplexing is where to hve.
There are so many different types of
housing available, in such a wide latitude
of prices, locations, and lifestyles that it
truly boggles the mind.
Even when the specific location is pin
pointed, there are still many choices to
make.
In Montrose, which is still a large neigh·
borhood, there are many types and styles
of dwellings to consider. One of these is the
large apartment complex, and while obviosly
desirable, it too poses certain drawbacks.
Nevertheless, such complexes are
plainly attracting thousands of new residents
flocking to Houston each month.
One such complex is named, simply,
1400 Richmond,
This large apartment community, numbering
in the hundreds of units, features
apartments on three levels, thus qualifying
as garden, rather than high rise,
apartments. Handsome balconies overlook
inner courtyards that provide off
street parking as well as pools and green
spaces for lolling about in good weather, of
which Houston has an abundance.
There are many apartment complexes
in Houston that can match these features,
however. Were 1400 Richmond no more
than this, it would hardly offer any particular
advantages over competing apartment
communities. The special attitude
that sets thet;e apartments apart is something
else, something more subtle and difficult
to isolate. That something is what
makes 1400 Richmond much more than
just an address. Call it ambience, flavor,
or just plain pizazz, 1400 Richmond has it.
One of the things that gives these apartments
their uniqueness is the convivial air
that competing lifestyles enjoy. In a
neighborhood heavily populated by gay
people, almost any large apartment house
in Montrose will have some gay people
living there. At 1400 Richmond, however,
there is a large percentage of tenants who
are gay. At the same time, the community
is so large that there is also a large number
of non-gay people in residence.
The beauty of the place, however, is that
everyone seems to coexist so well and with
such an absence of friction. In a city long
noted for conservatism in its attitudes,
such tolerance and permissiveness comes
as somewhat of a shock. Closer inspection,
however, reveals what more and more
Americans have finally come to accept:
gay people do not wear horns, are not child
molesters, are not hopeless social misfits,
:~i~h~s ~~d a~:ry u~~:f~:bl~r~~:e::~e
1400 Richmond is living proof of the
changing mores in even the most conservative
of American cities. While Houston
may not necessarily qualify as extremely
conservative. it does have a history of
reactionary attitudes and politics. All that
seems to be changing, however, if this
large and very friendly apartment community
is typical . And it does seem to be
typical of more and more complexes in the
inner city.
Houston in general, and Montrose in
particular, are living proof that "the times
they are a-changing," hopefully for the
better, at least as far as social awareness
and better understanding and tolerance of
different lifestyles and attitudes are concerned.

The landscapes and seascapes of Robert Schuhsler
Photoetory by Ed Martinez
When the western world exploded into
World War I, an era came to an end. The
world as people in Europe and America
knew it was unalterably changed, never
again to return to its former shape.
Society, politics, morals and basic attitudes
toward human behavior itself were
radically reshaped into a new order which
we are still attempting to define some six
decades later.
Art reflected this metamorphosis, mirroring
J)Prhaps most accurately what people
only dimly understood at the time. The
abstract expressionists, the French
impressionists, surrealists, cubists and
pointillists all screamed stridently that
the sky was not only falling, it might
never again recover its former height. The
emphasis was on the abstract, and representational
art was attacked as out of tune
with times. As radical as it seemed at the
time, the wave of abstract expressionism
has aged and has now assumed the position
of respectability and tradition in art
that representational art once occupied.
Realism in art, ironically, is now ridiculed
and patronized by the art establish·
ment as abstract expreSBionism was in the
20s. As the French are fond of saying,
"The more things change, the more they
remain the same." This phenomenon in
the world of art is brilliantly outlined in a
recent issue of Newsweek, entitled "Life
Imitates Art."
So once agam we return to the trend
among artists for portraying things as
they actually appear-not photorealism,
but rather lining things and human forms
in easily recognizable symbols. Not to the
extent that they repress or inhibit the
artists' ability to express their own creativity,
but merely enough that the laity
can at least know what it is that they are
looking at when they visit an art exhibit
without having to rely on an "expert" to
explain it to them. Regardless of the contempt
this arouses among art history
majors and cultural snobs this can only be
an improvement in the world of art.
A Houston artist in the vanguard of this
newly developing trend is Robert
Schuhsler, a native, who has lived and
worked in this city since birth. Educated
at the University of Houston, Schuhsler
has achieved wide acclaim for his work in
spite of, or rather pe~h_aps b~ause of, a
la<'k of formal art trammg. Tius does not
mean that he is not a disciplined and
trained artist; it merely removes him from
the worshipers of the latest styles and
fashions in art emanating from ga11eries
and art criti<'s in places like New York.
Robert Schueler, like another Houstonian,
Dick Turner, teaches as well as produces
art. He takes students on locations
around t~e U.S. to train them in the artistic
techniques he ha~ mastered. ~e ~lso
teaches classes in vanous art associations
here in Houston.
Recently Schuhsler's work has come to
the attention of M. Grumbacher Co., a
New York art supply company, who has
arranged with Schuhsler to .make. films_ to
be used in training students m major cities
across the U.S.
Robert Schuhsler paints things, not people.
"I'm not a people painter," he admits
with a grin. His studio, a stunning condominium
in mid·Montrose that he con·
verted from an old garage, features
soaring greenhouse windows that look out
on decks and fountains filled with lush
greenery. The light that 1~ admitted by
this arrangement makes his home a per·
feet setting for his work. . .
Robert Schuheler paints strong, vmle
scenes of the sea, smashing at rocky coa~-
~i~::~r!e~~~~~fi1::~s~~j:~~o;:~1~nrl~;
and upright landscapes that t~st out
from the canvas. His texture 18 v~ned and
inviting. Schuholer works rapidly, and
can finish as many as one canvas per day.
He usually work• in acryl!c, although he
teaches both acrylic and 011 pamting. Hie
Un f ini shed work in proeress, a crylic on canvas,
Robert Schuhs l er in his studio
"Untitled," acrylic on canva~
canvases seem confident and self-assured.
They obviously impress his clients, for the
paintings sell promptly and at prices that
exclude thoe on a budget.
The work of Robert SchuhsJer is in tune
with the national temper, helping to
restore representational art to a place it
once occupied proudly in the art world,
expressing perhaps an unvoiced need in
the world for a return to a reality that has
been masked for so long by preu.nse and
superficiality. Schuhsler's work does it
with style and a distinctively local accent,
reasserting Houston's claim to an impor
tant place in the cultural world.
Is that perfectly
clear?
If you've ever wondered whether your
local elected representatives are thinking
straight, consider Washington, D.C.,
where, according to a report in the
Wa.ahington Poat, City Council came up
with the following gem:
"It is not the intention of the council to
revive the statute or part thereof which
wu previously repealed unless such intention
to revive the previously repealed eta·
tute is specifically included in the
language of the •tatute repealing the pr~
vioua repealer."
That, believe it or not, wa.a intended to
clarify a new law regulating the conduct of
Preeidential inaugurations.
Wine is it
Purists may tum up their noses, but wine
marketing is entering the soda-pop era,
reports the l<Js Angele• TiTM•.
Not only ia it being sold in cano and
plastic bottlee, there are now plane for
wine vending machines.
Wayne Downey, bead of California'•
Geyser Peak Winery, oayo, while there are
legal problem.a, "Our attorney1 are wor king
on it."
The moot likely place for wine
machine., he say•, ie a "controlled envir·
onment" like a oporta irtadium.

come to life ln the bar that bore its name
from 1969 to 147H when it finally was con
sumed by flames to gather dust unt it
became n pet shop. How titting.
The first time I wt·nt in Prufrock's I
didn't know when bar closing time wa:;. I
didn't know what the different brand!i of
beer were I had no idea what to order 10
the wuy of wme.
I found the place bt'Cause I had b<·cn
ouunde of it once while a friend of mine
went in to see if a friend ofheni was there. I
remembered where it was
That was exceedingly important,
because there was no sign at that time
outside of the old vine-covered house on
Westheimer that formed the shelter for the
minds and activities that were the bar

that had part of the bar and room for two

Edith Pia( was singing on the jukebox.
"What would you like?"
"Oh, I'll have a glass of wine."
"What kind'!"
"Gh. Well. uh ... I'm not sure. I guess I'll
have what I usually have."
"What do you usually have? ..
"Vh .. " Th~ questions were getting
tougher. "Pink."
"Pink?"
•·Yeah." You said it. Go with it. "Pink."
"Okay." He poured me a glass of Ah·
anca Rose. .. That will be 80¢."
I handed over a hard-earned dollar and
got 20¢ change. I kept it. I seriously didn't
know that tipping W8b part of the trip.
When my terror at being in a bar all on
my own subsided a bit. I looked around.
No one seemed to notice that I was there.
Soon a guy who did not seem to notice that
I was th.ere walked up to the bar and
ordered a beer (55¢).
"Hi. How you doing."
""Fine.·•

"It's what I alwaysorderhere."Thecon·

"You're both full of shit. There is no

I didn't win the· argument, but I won

basis of the pick-up game at Pru frock's.

Pru frocks wt-nt through as many
changes as the pt•ople who inhabited it. In
the years m which I was associated with
Prufrock's (as a customer, bartender,
entertainer, manager), one of the ~ost frequent
comments I ht>ard was, "This place
has sure changed. I used to come here, but
this isn't the Prufrock's I knew."
Well a bar is people~ and thedenizensof

Like Milo
Milo was one of the brightest mmds m
the early J>:rufrock's, hut he was already
worrying his friends with his drinking by
1973, when I took off for the safety of San
Francisco after my divorce
When I returned in 1976 to help Dorothy
(Schwarz, the owner) change the club to
"country1 ~estern" and put in live music,
Dorothy picked me up at the station,
bought me lunch and took me to the bar.
AB we walked down the drive from her
