Braver New World of 1986
Biologists Have Re-Engineered
Male and Female Roles
By Walter Truett Anderson
Biologists are emerging as the real revolution-makers of our time.
They are changing the rules in many areas of human life, and the results
are going to keep politicians and political activists busy for decades.
Especially unsettling are the technologies of human productivityartic1fial
insemination, in vitro fertilization and embryo transplant. One
hears a lot about the moral issues connected with these-like the question of
when an embryo consisting of a few cells becomes a human being with civil
rights.
But there is something else going on that is even more politically
explosive: These technologies are revising thE: social definitions of male and
female roles. continued p.8

South Main gained greatly. Liberty and BancTexas-Allen Parkway

~ EIGHT DAYS A WEEK
Can Johnnie Ray Rousseau, a
22-year-old black gay aspiring
nightclub singer, find happiness
with Keith Keller, a six-foot-two
blond bisexual football jock who
works in a bank? Will Johnnie
Ray's manager ever get him on
the Merv Griffin show? Who
was the lead singer of the
Shangri-las? And what about
Snookie?
Somewhere among the answers
to these and other silly questions,
Larry Duplechan has written
the story of a couple as different
as - well, as black and
white. And it's as funny, and
sexy, and memorable, as any
love story you'll ever read.

Gay Chorus Charges Choral Association Discriminates
From a Press Release
The Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles
(GMCLAl has charged the American
Choral Directors Association (ACDA) with
discrimination because of ACDA's policies
denying choruses with "gay" in their titles
performance at ACDA conventions.
In a blind audition, GMCLA was chosen
out of 49 groups in the Western Division to
be among 17 choruses to perform at the
Western Division conference to be held in
San Jose in Fehruary. Under guidelines
re«t>ntly enactro by the ACDA's Board of
Directors. groups with "controversial"
titles are not allowed performance in
ACDA conferences using names deemed
"controversial" by ACDA. ACDA believes
that the "controversial" nature of these
titles (e.g., "gay") detractR from the mus1·
cal pt•rformance. and that ACDA should
not be a forum for political viewpoints.
In its seven·year history, the GMCJ..A
ha11 viewed itself as a musical organiza·
ti on with "soft-sell" politics. "We are a political
group on the basis of our name

"We exist primarily as a musical group
with purposes and goals aligned with
those of ACDA. We see ourselves as a community
chorus with roots in the gay community,
just as the Mormon Tabernacle
Choir is rooted in the Mormon community."
After several attempts to negotiate and
even compromise with ACDA, the GMCLA
brought the issue to the American Civil
Liberties Union in September. where they
discussed the issue with Susan McGrievy
McGriPvy thought there was sufficient
legal i-rrounds to pursue ACLU"s involvement
in the situation.
The case haR been referred to the ACLU
Northern California region, where it is
currently being handled by Alan
Schlosser in the San Francisco office. Kip
Edwards, the cooperating attorney, was
scheduled to file the complaint in Santa
Clara County Superior Court on Dec. 31.
Thr complaint is for preliminary and permanent
injunction based on the Unruh
Civil Rights Act and violation of Common
Law Right of Fair Procedure.
The case has national ramifications
and, in fact, a national history. In 1983,

the New York City Gay Men's Chorus
(NYCGMC) was chosen by similar blind
audition to perform at the 1984 ACDA
Eastern Division conference in Baltimore.
The national leadership of ACDA subsequently
took action (following a successful
performance by NYCGMC) in the form of
the current discriminatory guidelines
Chicago's Windy City Gay Chorus has
also been chosen to perform in the 1986
Central Division conference and is bear
ing the pressure of ACDA to perform without
"gay" in their name as well.
The lawsuit is a crucial part of the strategy
being implemented in the issue with
ACDA. Another integral part of this strategy
involve,; informing ACDA of the
amount of support the Gay Men's Chorus
has from gay and non-gay organizations,
businesses, politicians, other choral
groups and individuals. Anyone wishing
to offer support to GMCLA in the form of a
letter may address their correspondence to
Hugh Sanders and the Executive Committee,

The American Choral Directors Association
is the professional organization in
the United States which directors of choruses
belong. Most of its 12.000 members
are directors of school and church choirs.

Ray Hill
How do you view the current political
atmosphere and outlook for gays
in Houston?
Hill: There if' as much opportunity for
us in the current political atmosphere as
ever. Our enemies rallied around the refer·
endum flag pole, but in November their
lists proved less succei;sful than they previously
imagined. Only our own fears
cloud the political atmoi>phere. With committment
end hard work the outlook can
be bright.
Lovell: I think the political atmosphere
is much bettl'r now then it was a year ego.
This is due to the defeat of the Streight
Slate in the past municipal election. How·
ever, we must face the reality that Hous·
ton is not es tolerant of diversity es we
once thought it was. That many voters,
religious leaders and business leders do
not believe that gay men and lesbians
deserve equal rights.
I think our Jong range outlook is good if
we as a caucus and a community are com·
mitted to continuing to work for equal
nghts. The short term outlook is optimis·
tic. I think come endorsement time we will
have candidates seeking our support. The
past municipal elections showed that we
ere still effective et getting our votes to the
polls. The most important thing that can
happen to ensure a favorable atmo~phere
end outlook is to win the 21.06 caRe.
Parker: The current pohtical etmos·
phere is rather bleak, end there is still
some sense of gays being political pariahs.
The Straight Slate won't slither awaythat
hatred and paranoia will continue to
seek a target. There are bright spots, how·
ever. All the Streight Slate candidates for
city council were defeated, while our pest
supporters ere back on the job.
Gay men end lesbians will have to clean
their own political house. We have to pres·
ent a united front to fight increasing
homophobia. We must overcome apathy,
sexism, racism and ageism end other bar·
riers that divide ui;.
We must also continue to build on our
much-improved relationship with the non
gay media. Obviously there is a lot of work
to do, but es Ginny Apuzzo says, "We have
no choice; it's a war we must win."
List what you feel are the major
needs or problems facing Houston's
gay community.
Hill: Misinformation and resultant
fears end depression about AIDS~ closets:
leek of confidence among ourselves end
by politicians we have helped elect; job
end housing discrimination; care of peo·
pie with AIDS, end leek of courage and
pride.
Lovell: J think there are two major
problems facing the gay community One
is the AIDS issue, which 1s very important
and the second 1s to remember that there
are other issues which are equally impor·
Sue Lovell
tant and must not be forgotten. We need
equality in employment, housing, thejudi·
cial system, parenting end in health care
to name a few.
Parker: The major problem facing the
gay community is AIDS. We must deal
with funding, threats of quarantine, and
all the forms of anti-gay discrimination
that have been aggravated by this health
crisis.
The 21.06 case must be won. Its loss
could produce a domino effect ecro~s the
country
Of course, the money to deal with ell of
these issues must be raised.
We must also restore pride and confi·
dence in ourMelves as a strong. vital com·
munity.
List what you feel are the major
needs or problems facing the GPC.
Hill: Growth; the debt; new structure/
by-laws; involving more people; reform of
the endorsement process; alliancei; with
other minority groups, and better com·
munication with elected officiak
Lovell: (No response to this question)
Parker: GPC i~ in a money crisis. We
have a serious debt to pay off. We also need
operating funds for the coming year With·
out money, we can't do basic things like
pay the rent and phone bill, much less
accomplish goals.
We are also faced with declining mem·
bership, participation and community
respect. We must get people re-involved in
the Caucus.
Meeting the first two goals will lead into
the final major problem-reclaiming our
endorsements. We will have to prove our·
selves again es a political force.
How do you propose, as GPC president,
addressing the needs of Houston's
gay community (esp. 21.06,
health crisis and accompanying
homophobic hysteria, employment
and housing bias)?
Hill: More active participation with
KS rAIDS Foundation and THRF in edu·
eating the community end the general
public of our concerns in the areas where
these organizations must reach the decisi·
on makers. GPC must go on the offensive to
fight homophobia so it is generally per·
ceived as just another form of bigotry. An
aggressive campaign to inform the com·
munity of discriminators with whom they
spend monev
Lo~ell: As GPC president, the most
t!ffechve way to address the needs of the
gay community 1s to continue end streng·
then the Ceut'us' participation in electing
progressive candidates to office and to
increase lobbying efforts of eledted offi·
CJals to be responsive to the needs of our
community.
The 21.06 case was reversed because of
new appointments of judges by Prnsidcnt
Rl'al{en 1'!\e 'ifODSJI!l.l' ma · be ~tt~r b}!t
Annise Parker
we now face becoming criminals.
Concerning the AIDS issue we have got
to continue lobbying not only the city, but
the county and the state that the need for
education is crut'ial. That proposals such
as health cards and quarantine are not
viable solutions. We must convince
government that their responsibility is to
be resposive to the needs of all ito citizens.
Most importantly to educate our commun·
ity that they must be vocal and insistent,
as a community, that government
respond.
To gain equality in housing and employment
we have to bo back to the first basic
step and that is documentation. I helped
initiate a documentation committee for
that very reason . And we must continue to
elect candidett-s to office that will vote in
favor of equal employment and housing.
Parker: The GPC president acts only at
the direction of the Caucus, but I would
certainly continue the Caucus' work with
KS/ AIDS, Lesbian I Gay Rights Advo·
cates (the state lobby group) and the Texas
Human Rights Foundation, which is lead·
ing the 21.06 fight. We are actively work
ing with LGRA end AIDS organizations to
increaHe funding for AIDS education and
patient care end to prevent discriminatory
legislation in the next legislative session.
Our city council should continue its
rational approach to AIDS (i.e. the new
council committee on health). But we ere
ready to work publicly, behind the scenes,
with other groups-any way we can-if
any petition drives or pressure campaigns
are started.
We are already in the process of docu·
menting discrimination and responding
to it, in part through our Economic
Response Committee. In the coming year,
we will devote more time to these vital
projects.
In general, our best weapon against discrimination
and homophobia is a much
stronger and broader-based Caucus that
can solve problems end instill the kind of
pride in being gay that we need.
How do you propose addre1sing the
needs of the Caucus (e1p. membership,
fundraising and debt retirement)?
Hill: Expand the list by encouraging
pride and self worth, and by inviting our
non-gay supporters to join the list. Press
the importance of membership in everything
we do. Organize a fundraising com·
mittee of people not tied down with other
Caucus responsibilities. Use the list for
membership and fundreising.
Lovell:Membership. I want to increase
membership through an effective public
relations campaign of mailings and per.
sonal contact. We need to educate the com·
munity that there is a place foreveryonein
GPC, even non-political people. Fundrms.
ing and debt retirement. I would appoint a
fundreieing chair in order for Gl'C to
the Job
maintain and implement programs a nd
retire the current debt we must become
more effective at raising money.
Parker : The Caucus' major problem is
money. It is unconscionable that we are
$12,000 in debt. I am part of a group that is
working on a series of fundraisers, some of
which can be annual events.
The president and board members must
begin speaking to as many gay organiza·
tions and businei;ses as possible to deter·
mine their needs and problems with GPC.
This personal contact should be complemented
by a written survey. In tum, we
will explain GPC's goals and ask for their
participation and financial support. This
is the <>est way for GPC to become far more
representative and responsive. Only then
will GPC become the strong, undeniable
voice of this diverse community and wield
at large gay bloc vote. Then we can deal
from strength with elected officials-and
they will have to listen.
Summarize by stating why y ou
should be GPC preside n t.
Hill: I feel the current lull is a product of
our people and their supporters becoming
depressed over the misinformation about
AIDS and the inflated image of the
Straight Slate Wizard of Oz. I'm not sure
my opponents share this analysis. I've
been in this movement since the national
leadership could sit around one ta!!]<>. in
1966. Now everyone involved in lesbian /
gay rights a nd community services in the
U.S. could fill the Astrodome. These are
our best times. I can help us realize it.
Lovell: I have had the pleasure of serv·
ing as G PC president for the past year and
a half. My term has been through one of
the most difficult periods the Caucus and
community has faced. Many concerned
people have asked me why I want to run
for re-election. The answer is very simple.
The experience I have gained fron. the
past will benefit the Caucus in the future. I
have proven myself to be a qualified
leader, a good communicator. and, in a
very diverse caucus and community, I
have been open to the ideas a nd opinions
of everyone. It is my highest priority to
lead an organization that has for the past
10 years fought for the rights of gay men
and lesbians. My only ambition is to con·
tinue that fight. In a time in which govern·
ment and society want to take away our
rights, GPC must continue to be an organi·
zation where we can have our hopes,
express our dreams and accomplish our
goals.
Parker: The Caucus needs tough fin a n·
cial management and a strong leader who
can pull this community together again .
Platitudes and rhetoric won't do thejobhard
work will. I am a candidate who can
get the job done.

HouTex Tennis
Club Responds
From Jim Kitch
Your article on the ''Tennis Split" was
inaccurate in several respects:
The HouTex Tenms Club name is
"owned" by its member.ship. Rich Corder
docs not "own" it. We have DBA papers to
prove iL Do you Rich Corder?
The membership decided at the
N ovembcr mem~hip meeting to vote on
the proposed constitution and by-laws at
the Christmas party. Mr. Corder was
never told that the changes would not be
voted on at theChristma,. party. His state·
ment to the contrary is not true.
Rich Corder was a trusted newsletter
issuer who had to obtain approval by its
officers for any newsletter information.
The newsletter that he recently sent to its
membership to announce his dictatorial
"takeover" was unauthorized and broke
his trust of the officers and membership.
Mr. Corder wao trusted by the member·
ship to obtain the name '"Houston Tennis
Club." He has taken it upon himself to
think that this "ownership"' allows him to
personally be able to disregard the wishes
and mandates of the majority of the club's
member.ship and to take over the club. He
cannot "own" the club's member.ship as
he feels he "owns" the name.
Mr. Corder wa" once the club's presi
dent. He was a..ked by the mandate of the
member. hip not to run in 198.5. He
recently ran for several offices and was
not elected-again by majority vote. He
fails to realize that our club is a democracy
and is run by the wi8he.s of the majority.
We will not allow an individual to dictator·
ially strip iU. membership of its rights.
Hope that you enjoy '"your"' club, Mr.
Corder. I for 011e, want nothing to do with
•·your"' club.

Denying Services
to True Americans
From Loran E Doss
Again the United States government is
taking away from the American Indian
(Montrose \-'oice, Jan. 3). With millions of
dollars being sent to foreign countries to
feed their starving people, we still ignore
the plight of the American Indian .
Since some American Indians are ll S
taxpayers, it would seem that they could
at least get health care service when it is
needed. How strange it i' that the govern·
ment would deny services to the only trut•
Americans and then give millions tocoun·
tnes that lean toward Communism

Follov.ing an electrical fire which caused
minor damage to Jim's Gym on Dec. 13,
the Montrose health club recently reo·
pened its doors to members.
While damage resultin1t from the fire
was being repaired, other improvemento
were made, including the addition of some
new equipment and a repainting of the

tion several months ago, will remain at its
present location of 607 Westheimer until
terms of the purchase agreement are final·
ized and the new location is ready for occu·
pancy.
While he was uncertain as to when the
health club would move to ito new location
at 2918 W. Dallao, Schmidt did say it will
be renamed the Parkway Athletic Club.
He added that the new, larger club would
continue to offer the same facilities and
classes as those offered at Jim's Gym

Biologists Have Re-Engineered
Male and Female Roles
By Walter Truett Anderson
Biologists are emerging as the real revolution-makers of our time.
They are changing the rules in many areas of human life, and the results
are going to keep politicians and political activists busy for decades.
Especially unsettling are the technologies of human productivityarticifial
insemination, in vitro fertilization and embryo transplant. One
hears a lot about the moral issues connected with these-like the question of
when an embryo consisting of a few cells becomes a human being with civil
rights.
But there is something else going on that is even more politically explosive:
These techr.. . ologies are revising the social definitions of male and female
roles.
Some feminist leaders have responded
by taking a stand against the new biologies,
calling them another tool for domination
of women by men. Looking ahead,
they see women reduced to the role of baby
factories. Some men think the same
methods could portend male obsolescense.
If women can conceive through artificial
insemination, don't men become little
more than ;;eed factories?
Clearly, human reproductivity is not
what it used to be. Artificial insemination,
a rarity only a few decade,; ago, is now
routine. In vitro fertilization has progressed
steadily since the first "test-tube
baby" wa .. born in 1978. Sperm and
embryos can be frozen, preserved for
years, shipped a round the world. Embryos
can be transplanted, so that one woman
conceives and a nother carries the child in
her womb and gives birth.
It is now theoretically possible for a
child to have five parents- a female egg
donor, a male sperm donor, the woman
who carries the embryo and gives birth to
it, and the couple who, prei;umably having
set this whole team into motion becau;;e of
their own infertility, take the child and
raise it.
These are big developmento for a society
that already haB a feminist movement, a
gay liberation movement, a general quei;tioning
of sexual roles, and a lot of doubt
about whether the family is on its way in
or out.
Not surprisingly, interest-and
controversy-ia especially high among
feminists who divide into at least three
different bodies of opinion:
-Anti: An international feminist conference
held in Germany last spring came
up with a re11olution opposing new biotechnologies
as a com; piracy to seduce women
into " industnal exploitation of their own
bodie.. or body/ parts ...
- "Right to motherhood:" Many feminists
support the "right to biological motherhood,"
including that of single women
and lesbians to conceive through artifical
insemination.
-Pro: Still other feminists see technology
as the ultimate hope for liberation.
Shulamith Firestone set this keynote over
a decade ago with her proposal that children
be conceived and gestated in artifical
wombs, thereby achieving "the freeing of
women from the tyranny of their biology
..• and the diffussion of the childbearing
and childbearing role to the society as a
whole."
It is not clear which position has the
most supporters, but the current course of
events, both technologically and politically,
clearly favors the "right to motherhood"
group.
Artificial insemination (Al) is the most
developed and widely practiced of the new
biotechnologies. Nearly 20,000 children a
year are conceived by this method in the
United States alone, in comparison to
about 1,000 children worldwide conceived
through in vitro fertilization. AI is also the
easiest to perform, and can be done by
people with virtually no medical training.
That makes it the hardest to outlaw or
control.
Some states at first refused to recognize
its legality, holding that in cases where a
couple had conceived through artificial
insemination by donor, the baby was illegitimate,
the father was not its legal father,
and the mother was guilty of adultery.
Some states still make artificial insemination
difficult for single women, lesbians
and people in unconventional marriage
arrangements, but such policies don't
have much effect on anybody really determined.
The director of a feminist sperm bank in
California recently told me that most of
.In the
heart of
The City"
her clients are single women, and over a
third are lesbians.
On the other hand, the day is not near
when fetuses are grown in artificial
wombs at society's expense; the technol·
ogy does not yet exist for such an enterprise,
and neither do the political
structures nor the cultural consensus to
support one.
Nevertheless, the world has already
changed profoundly Women who want
to-married or not, straight or not-can
now become biological mothers without
anything but the most distant and anonymous
male assistance.
"Conventional" couples who cannot
conceive normally are able to have children
anyway. Men can make an insurance
donation to a sperm bank, then get a
vasectomy. And the development of
amniocentesis-a test which can discover
defects in fetuses-has played a large role
in the striking increase in the number of
mothers in their thirties and forties.
Meanwhile, there is reason to believe
that several new products in birth control
technology are going to make it increas·
mgly easy for people to decide not to have
children.
The effect of all thetie technological
advances is not to dehumanize, but rather
to widen the range of personal choiceseven
as they shake the ancient structure of
values and beliefs about motherhood,
fatherhood , parenthood.
Amidst this flux , rigid political positions
quickly become dated. State governments
nil over the country are scrambling
to produce laws and regulations that keep
up with the changes. We debate abortion,
fight for feminist and masculine agendas,
and do not quite perceive that the ground
continues to shift beneath us as we talk,
that the human species is a different kind
of biological organism from what it once
wa11.

Are You a Video Addict?

Neus America Syndicate
Special to the Montrose Voice
In their current annual television report.
the A.C. !llielsen survey company reveals
that an average household views TV for
more than .. even hours each day. This is
the highest frequency ever reported
Other surveys show that most viewers
believe that TV lacks quality. The push·
button JOY box brings opinion, entertain·
ment nnd news n• well as nonsense to
millions who, although they complain
about it, continue to wearily watch the
tube's offerings with somnolent indifference.
Do you get turned off when your set i~
turned on? If so, you could be a TV addict.
The quiz ahead may tell. It L based on
case histories of persons with a compul·
s1on to watch TV Answer each item using
the following scale:
I-Hardly ever; 2-0ccasionally; 3-
Very often.
1 After my favorite program 1s over, I
remain unselcctJvely watching TV for an
hour or more.
2. When friends visit, we spend part of
the time watching TV
3. I watch TV at definite times during
the day or evening regardlesA of the program

4. I watch TV past my bedtime
5. About 75% of the programs I view in
any one month are fictional.

Viewing TV unselectively is like eating

beneficial reasons for watching TV are

exposed to long stretches of inferior pro·
gramming could prove psychologically
and intellectually damaging. Consider

Who watches TV? Apparently it ha.
"differl'nt strokes for different folks." One
study, which took four years to complete
and was conducted by sociologists R.
Frnnk at of the Wharton Business School,
Philadelphia , and M. Greenburg, with the
consulting firm of Booz, Allen and Hamil·
ton, discovered some surprising facts,
such as:
-Male blue-collar workers watch TV
•ports event" less than most groups of
women vi!'wers.
- Watching pro-social programs tends
to defuse aggression in viewers.
-The biggest audience for soaps is Jar·
gely teenage girls.
-Adolescent boys tend to favor TV
which poke!! fun at male authority figures.
-The group which watches TV the least
consists of very religious males.
But no matter what your reason for
watching TV, there is a limit. Being a pri·
soner of any medium may narrow your
perspective and deprive you of experiences
necessary to k('('p you healthy in mind and
body.

Wrapping Up Some '85 Films
Robert Redford and Meryl Streep star m "Out m Africa"
By Scott Cutsinger
Montrose Vo1CI' Film Critic
In one amazing sweep, I'm gomg to try
and wrap up the few remaining 1985
releases showing in this area. While there
are still a few releases like Ron and Twice
in a Lifetime that have only played in big
c1t1es, v.e'll count those for '86 and close
out '85 "';th thest'.
Out m Afm:a is the first offering. A
beautifully photographed and gracefully
executed film staring Meryl Streep and
Robert Redford. The true story of Karen
Blixen's attempt to build a coffee farm m
Kenya should truly have some spot on the
Best of the Year
Sci-fi fans will either be delighted or
baffled by the bizzare Enemy Mine. Louis
Gossett Jr is quite an oddball as the
repttlc-hke Droc who is disgusted to find
himself on a deserted planet with an
enemy fighter pilot (Dennis Quaid). Das
Boat drrector Wolfgang Peterson creates a
strong v.orld where anything can happen.
The remaining two films fall into the
foreign or "art" category Dim Sum is a
touching look at a Chine:<c-American family
Dangerous Moues 1~ a more complicated
film about two men ma battle of wits
during an mtemational che11s game. The
later was named "Best Foreign Film" last
year at the Academy Awards. but we're
just seeing it. Better late than never, I
guess
o Out of Africa
On the surface, it's easy to compare Out of
Africa with similar grand productions like
Ghand1 or Passage to India. Lush scenery,
powerful acting, and a long running time
seem to be standard for this type of epic
grandeur.
Afm:a differs from both of those other
films mamly because it has two super·
stars, namely Robert Redford and Meryl
Streep. They happily hold our attention as
we plow through Karen Blixen's "~at
always so exciting~ life on an African coffee
plnntatlon. Blixen (who later wrote
under the nnme Isak Dinesen) unfortu·
nately did not hve a life like Ghandi or
Lawrence of Arabia, which i~ the stuff
spectacles are made of.
The makers of this film had a break
when researchers discovered recentlv that
Blixen had a secretive, intimate affair
with a dashing British adventurer named
Denys Fench Hatten. Their friendship f
romnnce has been hyped up into the centerpiece
of the film, letting the rest of the
"true" story serve as surrounding place
settings. This gives the audience a sort of
"love story" to spice up the Jong African
stretcher
Actually Blixen is first roamed to a
Baron Brar Blixen, a brother to her former
'Jd<>er ilia he mamed f6'r c6nveiiience
The Huron (superbly acted by Klaus Maria
Brandauer) loves his wife, but also loves
the ladies. He leaves her alone on the plan
tat1on for weeks, romps around the coun·
try on safaris, and is constantly
promiscuous.
When Bhxen contracts syphillis from
her husband, a chain of per.son al tragedies
begin that bring" her sorrow and finally
bankruptcy. The main thing that keeps
her sane during this period is her odd
affair with Dennvs Fench Hatten.
Dennys pops ~P spari;ely through the
first half of the film, but becomes impor·
tent as the romance blossums. Oddly
enough, the love between these two never
really blooms because they can't seem to
understand what the other needs. Denys
wants her to be there waiting when he
returns from frequent safaris. Blixen
wants a man who v.;11 be there when she
needs him, 6ut still give her room to grow.
It's a typical problem that they never
solve.
Meryl StreE'p JS more than stunning as
Blixen, and could nab another Oscar. Her
voice-over narration is soothingly perfect,
and her accent (Danish) is marvelous.
Streep does a lot less "modeling" and pos·
ing here than she did in films like Plenty
and Frenr:h Lieutenant'~ Woman, and it's
very welcome.
Robert Redford has the right weather·
bea!Rn look for Deny's part, but British he
is not. I guess no attempt at an accent is
better than a bad attempt. Still, he looks
good with Meryl, and the two make a nice
pair.
Out of Afrzca is well worth seeing, but be
ready for two hours and 40 minutes of
solid film. There are some lax point , hut
Meryl manages to hold it together and
keep us entranced. For Hollywood enter·
tainml'nt, you can't really afford to miss
"Meryl m Africa."
o Enemy Mine
This mega-buck epic from the director of
The Ncuer Endllll! Story and Da~ &Jal is
too weird to be a h1g box officeJraw, and it
is probably the biggest holiday bomb.
However, the movie shouldn't really be
ignored, because it really has a lot of neat
things to offer to the right filmgoer.
First off, you have to accept Louis Gos·
sett Jr. in this far out reptilion attire. Once
you get over that and the strange sound;;
that he makes, you can settle back and
enioy the plot. At least the first half of it.
01' lizard face (actually a Droc from the
planet Drocon) crashes on a desertl'd
planet and finds that the only other per·
son there is nn enemy space pilot. Dennis
Quaid is the bearded Da~;dge, a stubborn
hut resourceful man who attempts and
succeeds in becoming friends with his
enem~'. The two are fascinating to watch
as they excliange1angungi!S','clilllirtl, hn!I
ideas and become like brothers.
Then something really strange
happens. Well, Droc sort of gets pregnant
and has a baby boy. Evidently, these guys
have a body that's half man/ half woman
and they just "have" children when it just
happens to occur. The new little Drue looks
just like Daddy !Mom?) and grows a lot
faster than normal children.
Unfortunately, at this point the film
shifts into high adventure gear, totally
abandoning the delicate bonding relation
ship built so carefully in the first half. Little
Droc gets kidnapped by some renegade
slave drivers, and Davidge spends the rest
of the film doing Indiana .Jone escapades
to rescue him.
Obviously, someone thought that the
film couldn't stand on its own as a story of
two enemies working together towards a
goal. Gotta give the kids 11 little action or
they'll get bored. That's why they stayed
away from Iceman a few years back (the
two films often complement each other).
Personal drama is just not interesting
anymore, because TV movies have
covered all the angles.
Still, it's difficult to recommend f:nem)
Mine because it's such an erratic film.
Sometimes the special effecL~ by the
Industrial Light and Magic Company
(George Lucas) are mystifying, and other
times they are downright embarrassing.
The screenplny by Edward Khmara is
excellent the first half and very poor the
second. The snving grace is Gossett, who
gives the oddest performance of his cnreer
I would recommend this movie to lovers
of oddities like Silent Running or maybe
Dune. It'. too bad they spent .o much
money on a film that could have been a
neat "little" film about two people coming
to term!'
o Dim Sum-A Little
Bit of Heart
I.a t year, Chinese-American filmmaker
Wayne Wong ttttracted attention with his
hit Chan 1s Missmg. Wong return~ with an
even better, more personal effort that concentrates
on a girl and her aging mother.
The Tom family consisL< of 62-year-old
Mrs. Tom (Kim Chew), her daughter Geraldine
~Laureen Chew), and Uncle Tom
(Victor Wong) who supports the family
with a bar. Conflicts occur because the
mother wants Geraldine to marry because
she thinks she's going to die. The daughter
loves her mother and is afraid to leave her,
but also must contemplate living her own
life.
The culture clash between old Chinese
customs and the American way provides
conflicts, anger, and even laughter. Moth·
er's reaction to her daughter sleeping with
her boyfriend, and thl' various American-
Films
ized attitudes of many Chinese i;ecm to
show how tradition can mix with modernization.
The push for young ladies to get
married is still there, but now they have a
little more choice in the matter.
Like many Chinese films, Dim Sum is
paced very slowly, with many quiet and
personal moment;;. Sometimes Wong gets
a little too arty and symbolic by lingering
his camera much too long on a curtain
blowing or t1ome rippling water. It'11 not
really necessary, because the actors do a
fine job of being almost pure art them·
selves.
Laureen Chew and Kim Chew are reallife
mother and daughter, and their roles
here are full .bodied and beautiful. Their
conflicts are simple, hut they have little
affect on the love they have for each other.
The mother really misses her daughter
when she do<•s leave, bcrnuseshe's huppy
for her hut lonely herself.
"Dim Sum is 11 good independent film
that should be appreciated for its close
examination of family cultures and their
role in the eightie,;. Many will find it slow
and distracting. but those who know
cinema will sel' that this film has "a lot of
heart."
o Dangerous Moves
This film v.on tht• Oscar for Best Foreign
Film last year, and will be playing tonight
and SRturday onl~· at the Hiver Oaks. All
chess fnns an• alerted-all others can best
spend time elsewhere.
Dan1:erous Moves wa~ a bit of a disappointment
because I expected a much bet·
ter film . .:rhl' plot is very simplistic, and
overall it appeals to a very small group of
people. An international cheRs match
between an aging Russian master and a
rebellious Soviet dissident tries to bea battle
of wit and power, but it never seems to
grab our attention.
Thankfully, th!' political aspect is kept
to a minimum, although both sides resort
to dirty tricks to help their man win. A
guru and a psychotherapist both try to
"psych·out" the players. Even the players
try to annoy each other by "howing up late
or getting up and down out of their chairs.
Michel Piccoli is good as the dying pat·
riarchal champion, but Alexander Abbott
is a hit high strung as the violent, young
opponent. Leslie Caron (as Piccoli's wife)
and Liv Ullman have small but affecting
roles that could affect the outcome of the
game.
Dan1«·rous Moves is too full of chess
maneuvers to make it interesting to those
who know little of the game. At times, the
characl!ors rise above the game and
bt·come intereAting. Hut for the most part
they just seem to be like piecei< on the
hoard.

Romance for Scorpio
By Mark Orion
For Fflday. Jan 10. 1986.
through Thursday. Jan 16. 1986
ARIES-Do you think you could get
out of bed long enough to join someone
for breakfast? There's a potential problem
this weekend in damaging old relationships
by paying attention only to new
ones. We know you can give enough for
both 1f you want to.
TAURUS-Romantic vibes abound.
They're more apt to be frivolous flirtation
than heavy hearthrobs. so take 'em in a
light vein. Then, someone's problem calls
for logic instead of a shoulder and days
end with glee
GEMINI Your current walk in the winter
sunshine isn't over yet. Your charming
personality will continue to make you
new friends and enhance your relationship
with old friends and co-workers.
CANCER-You have been sticking
closely to your New Year's budget resolutions.
You've gained a grasp on money
matters. So now is the time to splurge a
little and treat yourself-and someone
else-to something special.
LEO-Others view you differently than
you see yourself. Ease up. Give yourself a
break. You're far more attractive and popular
than you think, even if you've been
putting off making an important decision.
Now is the time to trust your instincts and
go for 1t.
VIRGO- This will be one of your busiest
weekends of the year. Your ability to
organize yourself and things around you
will be very important Stay on top of
things. A rest is coming soon. You can
seen it over the horizon
LIBRA-Your ability to serve as a diplomat
will be in demand this week. There
are those who disagree and you're the
elected referee. Just remember not to
take sides when trying to settle disputes
among friends.
SCORPIO-Your romantic side continues
to run deep. Your normally strong
sense of good judgement is being overcome
by some deep feelings for someone.
For the time being, listen to your
heart and not your head
SAGITTARIUS-You may think you're
tough but deep inside you're as soft as a
kitten. This will be a week to let that
someone special know it. It is not a good
time to practice minding your own business
The personal affairs of a not-soclose
friend are of concern to you.
CAPRICORN - That antsy feeling just
won't seem to go away, will it? Use it
constructively on new projects. Give
some thought to starting a new fitness
program.
AQUARIUS-Certain mutual attraction
can prove quite exciting. Do be careful
that one of you isn't looking through
rose-colored glasses. (Reality is very
pleasant in its own right.) Snappy weekend
will come to sparkling fini.
PISCES-Your meticulous nature may
prove to be your downfall this weekend.
So try to avoid nitpicking, especially
when it comes to close friends
Remember, nobody's perfect.

Reading the
Monlrose Voice
Ev Fri
That's because no other publication in the world covers the news of your
neighborhood-Montrose-as thoroughly as the Montrose Voice. In tact, no
other publication in the world has even a SINGLE journalist assigned fulltime to
Montrose. Not the Post, not the Chronicle, not lWf, not the Forum, not lnnerVi6'N,
not Town.
Each of those other publications have their own attributes. But Montrose news is
not one of them. Montrose n6\Ns is what we do better than anyone, with THREE
fulltime journalists (Linda Wyche, Connie Woods and Pete Diamond) who report
only on the news of Montrose.
And partly because of our extensive news coverage, the Montrose Voice leads
all other publications in Montrose circulation-by thousands and thousands.
The Voice now distributes 12,000 copies each Friday in Montrose-reaching an
estimated 33,000 readers. That's thousands more any of the other local
community publications. Ifs even more circulation-per issue-in Montrose
than the Post or Chronicle.
When it comes to Montrose N6\Ns, the Voice is the Choice.
The Montrose Voice
In Montrose, Nearly Everybody Reads the Voice!

Come on in Baby, It's
Cold Out There
By the staff of the Montrose Voice
When winter roared into Montrose this past
week, the conversation turned to talk about
keeping warm. One sure fire way to stay
warm (next to having another warm body) is
to go out.
You ask, "go out in this weather?" Sure.
The nightspots and businesses provide
heat anyway. So why stay home and run up
your bill. Who knows? That other warm
body may be out there thinking the same
thing.
