For One Gay Native American It's G
No-Win Choice
'86 AIDS Budget Comes at
Expense of Indian Health
By John Ross
Buried deep in the 1986 Department of Health and Human Services
budget is a 10-word request that raises the hackles of both Native
American and gay communities.
The DHHS will take millions of dollars already allocated for a
pilot Indian Health Service program and spend it on AIDS
research.
Randy Bums is one citizen doubly affected by the shift. He grew
up in a large traditional family on the impoverished Pyramid Lake
Reservation in Nixon, Nevada, sharing the joys and deprivations
of Northern Piute tribal life. As a child, he hunted jackrabbits and
learned the old ways from his grandfather, the son of a renowned
healer.
As he grew into adolescence, Randy Burns began to understand
that he was gay. "By the ninth grade, I was going off into the
sagebrush. You could never bring your friend home. Being gay is
still very much in the closet on our reservation," recalls Bums.

TCLU Blasts Cisneros' Record on Freedom Issues
From a Published
Associated Press Report
San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros has a
"real blind spot" when it comes to personal
freedom issues and his city compiled
the state's worst civil liberties record in
1985, the Texas Civil Liberties Union said.
"The nation's 10th-largest city bears
close watching for its insensitivity to freedom,"
the TCLU said Friday, Dec. 28, in a
year-end report.
TCLU Director Gara LaMarche said
1985 might have dulled some of the shine
on Cisneros' rising political star.
"For somebody who has a national reputation
as articulate and progressive, he's
got a real blind spot as far as the First
Amendment is concerned. The average
liberal in Dallas, Houston or New York
City thinks this guy Cisneros is really a
star, but they haven't paid attention to the
other si..Je of Cisneros," LaMarche said.
That "other side" includes a "very
unfortunate tendency to pander to rightwingers,"
he said.
Cisneros did not return three calls from
The Associated Press last Friday.

Statewide, it was a "mixed year" for
civil liberties, the TCLU report said.
It reported "gains" in the form of defeats
of proposed anti-abortion legislation and
bills that could have eroded rights of criminal
defendants. TCLU also claimed a victory
in the legislature's decision to allow
farm workers to collect unemployment
insurance.
The "setbacks" included a tentatively
approved State Board of Health rule
adding AIDS to the list of diseases for
which a Texan can be quarantined. State
health officials say isolation would be
used as a last-resort measure against
incorrigible AIDS victims.
San Antonio provided several of the
"setbacks" in the TCLU report including:
-A city ordinance barring people 13
and under from attending-without their
parents-concerts or shows "which are
vulgar, profane and repulsive to society
generally." The ordinance is aimed at rock
concerts.
-Bexar County District Attorney Sam

activity that can spread the disease.
-Complaints about abuse and harassment
by police.
-An attempt by the City Council to
keep the Playboy Channel off the local
cable TV system.
Cisneros assistant Shirl Thomas noted
that the council rejected the move to ban
the Playboy Channel, and city health officials
were instructed to stop sending the
"inappropriate" letters to AIDS victims.
LaMarche said Cisneros "allied with
the Moral Majority types" in the push
against the Playboy Channel, and he
helped win approval for the rock concert
ordinance.
Thomas said the mayor supported the
rock concert ordinance because, "He lives
very close to downtown and he has seen on
many occasions young people leaving the
arena and it was a concern to him."
"He would say there's an issue of stewardship,"
said Thomas. "We took as a
model what the movie industry has done.
There are some movies that children
under a certain age should have an adult
accompany them to."
LaMarche said the TCLU chose not to
get heavily involved in three majorissues
viewed by some as personal freedom
fights-seat belt;;, •molting and the nopass,
no-play school rule.
LaMarche said the new mandatory seat
belt law is not an "infringement" on individual
rights.
"The right to drive is not at the same
level as free speech or praticing your religion,"
he said, calling the seat-belt law "a
reasonable exercise ofregulatory powers."
TCLU won't get heavily involved in the
no-pass, no-play debate unless it perceives
a "grossly disproportionate impact" on
minority students, he said.
"There is no civil liberties right to
engage in extracurricular activities,"
LaMarche said.
TCLU has fielded calls from Texans concerned
about city efforts to limit smoking
in public places-an issue in which TCLU
has chosen not to get involved "as long as
these ordinances leave some way for people
to smoke."

For One Gay Native American It's a No-Win Choice
'86 AIDS Budget Comes at Expense of Indian Health
By John Rosi
Pacific New• Service
Special to the Montrose Voice
Buried deep in the 1986 Department of
Health and Human Services budget is a
10-word request that raises the hackles of
both Native American and gay communities.
The DHHS will take millions of dollars
already allocated for a pilot Indian Health
Service program and spend it on AIDS
reflearch.
Randy Burns is one citizen doubly
affected by the shift. He grew up in a large
traditional family on the impoverished
Pyramid Lake Reservation in Nixon, Nevada,
sharing the joys and deprivations of
Northern Piute tribal life. As a child, he
hunted jackrabbits and learned the old
ways from his grandfather, the son of a
renowned healer
As he grew into adolescence, Randy
Burns began to understand that he was
gay. "By the ninth grade, I was going off
into the sagebrush. You could never bring
your friend home. Being gay is still very
much in the closet on our reservation,"
recalls Burns.
A decade ago, during the first flowering
of gay liberation, Burns put re..ervation
uptightness behind him and fled to San
Francisco, where he met other young Indians
with similar experi«>nces. "We were
never really accepted in either the Indian
movement or the gay movement so we
started our own club," says Burns, who
today runs Gay American Indians (GA!), a
l,()()().membl'r inter·tribal group which
ha1 rediscovered the roots of Indian homosexuality.
Those roots are documented as early as
1790 when French fur traders noted
"berdaches"-braves who dressed as
women-among Candian Indians. Film
buffs will remember " Little Horse, the
Contrary" in Dustin Hoffman's Little Big
Man, a gay character drawn from life.
The DHHS will take
millions of dollars
already allocated
for a pilot Indian
Health Service
program and spend
it on AIDS research.
"We were the go-betweens among the
tribes and between the Army and the
tribes," Burns explains. "We were always
regarded as having a special place. The
people saw us as makers of medicine."
Despite such antecedents, gay Indians
often meet with hostility in Native American
circles. Even in urbane San Francisco,
the local American Indian Center is
embarraRsed when GAI posts its literature
on office bulletin boards, according to
Burns. And back on the Pyramid Lake
re11ervation, Burns says, the AIDS jokes
a re brutal.
The imbroglio over AIDS funding has
further muddied waters. Last July, when
then-head of DHHS Margaret Heckler
propORed the reprogramming of a $.5 million

grant to AIDS research, Native Americans
were furious. The monies had been slated
to bring Indians into reservation health
care programs now contracted out to
whites. The move came in the wake of
other, bigger proposed cutl>acksPresident
Reagan's proposed 1986 Indian
Health Service budget came in $35 million
under Congress' final 1985 appropriation.
The federal government has been obligated
to provde health care for America's
one million Native Americans since the
early 1800s. Indian Health Service, a
branch of Public Health Service, now runs
a network of 47 hospitals, 80 health centers,
and hundreds of clinics and health
stations on re8ervations.
But despite the infrastructure, Native
Americans are the most poorly cared for
ethnic group in the country. Indians die
younger than all other Americans. Their
alcoholism , suicide, tuberculosis and
heart attack rates are multiples of those
for white Americans.
South Dakota's Pine Ridge Ogala Sioux
ReRervation, once a hotbed of radical
Indian activity, is an example of how bad
statsitics have worsened: the infant mortality
rate there increased from 14.6 per
1,000 births to 31.6 during the first two
years of the Reagan presidency.
A week before the 1984 election, Reagan
fueled the anger of Native American leaders
by vetoing a supplemental Indian
Health Appropriation. Heckler's suspension
of Dr. Everett Rhodes as director of
the Indian Health Service for alleged
improprieties some months later caused
more outcry-Indian leaders say Rhodes
was suspended for having criticized the
Reagan veto.
When DHHS ordered the transfer of
funds from Indian Health to AIDS
research last July, Native American
health providers threw up their hands in
despair.
"It's unconscionable," says Martin
Waukazoo, a Rosebud Sioux who runs San
Francisco's Native American Health Center,
"Five million dollars could fund 37
clinics such as ours on reservations all
over the country. We can't provide full service
as it is.
"Our social worker comes in only four
hours a week-and she isn't even suppoRed
to counsel men. This money was
taken from Indian Health only because
the Reagan administration thinks it's politically
safe to do so," says Waukazoo.
"We're the least opposition. We have no
voting power. Gays are real vocal."
Randy Bums, too, opposes the transfer
but is caught between two worlds. "I think
it's a disgrace that they've taken from one
desperate minority and given to another.
But our members are dying of AIDS, too.
They come to San Francisco and come out
of the closet and take risks and get sick."
Bums says, "You can't go to Indian
Health with AIDS. Back on the reservation,
there are no facilities and even here
in the city, the Indian staff at the clinic
tells everyone your business."
Meanwhile, in the past year, Bums has
gone to the funerals of five GAI members
who have died of the dreaded disease.
More than once, Burns says, he's been
asked "this ridiculous question: what if a
war broke out between the gays and the
Indians-whose side would I be on?"
His answer: ~'All I know is that I don't
want to fight a wa r. I just want to stop the
dying."

Women's Program to Kick
Off KPFT Fund Drive
From a Press Release
On Jan. 10, KPFf, Houston's publicsponsored
radio station, kicks off its Winter
fund raising marathon with a day of special
prgoramming celebrating women and the
progress they have made.
The special programs lined up for this
event will take a close look at women in work
roles that have traditionally been men's
domains, women looking toward the future,
women's new attitudes and an overview of
some Jaws μertinent to women and how they
have changed.
"We'll have national and local programs
that will analyze from abortion to literature
and poetry," says Marie Wade-Baxter, direc·
tori producer for the KPFf special. "Pacifica
has a powerful group of women
producers that will give listeners the sense
that they are supporting a wortbwhilestation."
The music to be highlighted in "I've
Come a Long Way, But Don't Call Me
Baby" covers a wide genre in the tradition
of KPFf and the Pacifica Foundation. The

The National Organization for Women,
University of Houston Chapter, will sponsor
a seminar entitled "Reproductive Freedom:
Your Right!" on Jan. 18 at the
University of Houston-University Center
from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The program's four sessions will cover
the historical, physical, legal and ethical
aspects of reproductive rights. The first
session, a plenary, will introduce the his·
torical aspects of reproductive rights and
responsibilities with attention to the
impact of race and class.
Physical matters will be addressed in
the second session. These include availability
of contraceptives and abortion, welfare
policies, a nd lack of child care.
Following a brown bag lunch, the third
sesion will focus on legal aspects at the
local, state and natlpnal levels-both
legislative and judicial:
The last, and gener al, fU!Ssion will deal
with ethical issues of reproductive rights.
The issues to be covered include: what
does it mean when a government funds
childbirth for the poor, yet withholds the
right to funds for abortion and discourages
sex education in schools?
There is a suggested $5 donation for the
seminar and non-English speaking assistance
is available by arrangement. The

Experts to
Actors: No
Evidence
Kissing
Spreads AIDS
From a Published UPI Report
Medical experts recently told a group of
actors, producers and other members of
the Hollywood community that there is no
evidence supporting fears that AIDS can
be spread by kissing.
A producers' group invited the experts,
including a doctor from the Centers for
Disease Control in Atlanta, to Hollywood
for a seminar to calm fears intensified by
the death of Rock Hudson because of the
disease.
Carol Akiyama, senior vice president of
the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television
Producers, said Dec. 26 that the group
was told there Willi no evidence indicating
they would have to stop kissing to avoid
AIDS.
After Hudson's death, the Screen Actors
Guild adopted a policy requiring producers
to notify actors in advance if their role
would require intimate contact because of
fears of AIDS.
The AIDS seminar at the headquarters
of the producers group was attended by
members of SAG, the American Federation
of Television and Radio Artists and
other organizations representing "all
aspects of the industry," Akiyama said.
Akiyama said the producers' alliance
sponsored the session to alleviate the fears
that prompted the SAG policy of advance
warning of kissing scenes.
On the panel was Dr. Donald Frances,
AIDS adviser from the Centers for Disease
Control; Dr. Robert E. Anderson, chief of
the AIDS section of the Calif. Department
of Health Services: and Dr. Betty Agee, in
charge of communicable disease control
for the Los Angeles County Health
Department.
AIDS has killed more than 8,000 people
in the United States.

GEORGE WATSON
May 24, 1951-January 2, 1986
I hadn't known George very long. I met him
at the office, where he first caught my attention
by the strange brown spots on his face
and hands He was quite thin and had the
most luminous eyes. They arrested me at
first glance, and I knew right away that there
was something special about this man.
Through 'frequent lunches and office
conversation, George revealed bits and pieces
of his hie to me. talking about his boyhood
in Indiana, his first great release 1n
San Francisco, where everyone was simply
crazy. He found himself in the city by the
bay, like so many others. and when he was
transferred to Houston, he felt a little sad at
leaving San Francisco
Unfortunately, after only a short time
here, George was diagnosed with AIDS He
was not given long to live, but instead of
giving up, he educated himself about the
disease and took on a holistic philosophy
that kept him alive for over four years. Four
years. I thought' Such a long time to survive!
He said that he had learned more about
himself during those painful four years than
he had learned in all the years before. He
never regretted his actions or the fact that
he was gay. At the office. he always conducted
himself with the utmost professionalism.
rarely showing pain or depression.
Then, he left a message on my answering
machine just before Christmas
"Hi, Jeff! This is George Watson wishing
you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year! Bye bye1"
It was so cheery Two days later he had
pneumonia and was in the hospital. Less
than a week later, he was dead. Such a full,
noble life. Although I didn't have the pleasure
of knowing George for years. he left
such a deep impression in my mind-of a
man who faces death with courage and dignity.
He was soneone who offered hope and
inspiration to all who knew him, fighting on
until the air just couldn't come anymore
He will be missed by his office colleagues.
his family who surrounded him at the time
of his death, and by all those who were
privileged to know him. The funny thing
about George was that he made death seem
so real every moment we knew him, but at
the same time. he had this magical ability to
make 1t seem simultaneously distant. He
may be physically gone, but his presence
always remains to offer hope, and eventually
even a little understanding to this vast
mystery around us-the mystery he studied
so diligently while with us and has now so
completely solved

'Painting Churches'-A Play on Words Montrose Live
By Bill O'Rourke
Montrose Voice Theater Critic
"The pistol of my talent I fired strmght at
my own heart."-Veromca Geng
The title of Painting Churches, cur·
rently playing downstairs at the Alley, is a
play on words Mags Church paints
portraits-an art form so out that it's in.
She has just ended her first one-woman
show But she's even more excited by the
fact that her parents have finally decided
to allow her to paint a portrait of them.
She's gomg to paint the Churches. Get it?
(Like many sophisticifted jokes, it
becomes sophmor1c when you stop to
explam 1t.)
This is good adult humor without ever
getting sexy It doesn't insult vour intelh·
gence or speak down to you. It isn't aimed
at an age group slightly below yours It
probably wouldn't play on network televi
sion.
Nor do you have to be an elitist aesthete
to make .•ure it won't go over your head.
Maybe some people think I'm an ivory·
tower kook, but I'm sure anyone would feel
at home with James. My roommate was at
work. So his truck-driving lover went to
the theater with me. It turned out to be the
first live theater piece he had ever seen.
The glow in his eyes and the trace of a
chuckle still lingering m his voice"Bfterthe
show reminded me that I had made a very
wtSe ch01ce of careers.
Mags has been successful even though
she's been hiding behind her canvasses
rather than speaking through them. If she
can paint her parents well, if she can get
back in touch with their Bo:;ton realities
as well as her own JS'ew York in•ulated
self-concern, she w1ll become a much bet·
tcr artist and a better pt'rson too JS'ancy
Boykin is very earnest m this role
Mags 1s not the only one not totally in
touch with reality All three Churches
have built castles in the air and spend
.,ome time maintaining them Painting
their own mdividual churchei;?
The parents have become one. They are
like the right and left hemispheres of the
same mind.
The father, a Pulitzer Prize-wmnmg
poet, has dY.fodled into an ineffectual
dreamer He keeps trying to work, but he
can't produce anythmg practicaL He's
even lm;t control over his continency.
But his dreams arc so wonderful. And he
1s so wtse in matters of the heart
John Wyhe, who was so good as the
prosecuting attorney in Execution of.Jus·
t1ce, 1s equally stunning as Gardner
Church
Matching him in warmth and intensity,
Victoria Boothby is Fanny Church.
Fanny has made a fetish of the practi·
cal. Her greate>St daily joy is finding a bar·
gain at the flea market She has had to
fight so hard so often to get through to
Gardner that she's become a little shrew·
ish, a little insensitive to the feelings of
others.
But she doe~ take good care of Gardner
and she can still teach her daughter what
Mags needs to know.
When Gar and Fanny are clicking
together, they interlock beautifully. They
are so real, so witty and entertaining that
they must have been the life of the coC'ktail
party circuit in their day.
There are a lot of bitter revelations in
Tina Howe's 'cript, but they are dealt with
very humanely Following her playw·

A Wonderful
Christmas
From Residents of the McAdory House
The McAdory House family would like to
thank our community for all the wonder·
ful Christmas gifts that we received dur·
ing this holiday season.
The ceiling fans will make our summers
cooler The garbage disposal and the mic·
rowave will make our kitchen better
equipped. New sheets cover our beds, and
new towels hang in the bathroom. With
the washer and dryer, the new bathroom
downstairs, and carpet for the stairs, we
expect a brighter new year.
The tree. the cake, the cookies, the carol·
ers, the food, and the wonderful envelopes
that filled our stockings-they contained
pocket money for each of us-made this a
truly sreciul Christmas.
The most special gift was the time that
you Bpl'nt with us. Your visit to our home
warmed thl• holiday season.
.Finally, a special thanks to the com
munity's bars, businesses, and churches,
and w the house's Atl'llm (we love you).
You've proven again that ours 1s a sup·
porting and loving community that we
can be proud of.
Need for
Traffic Light
From Loran E. Doss
There certainly is a need for a traffic light
at the intersection of Stanford and Wes·
tht'imer. It is very difficult to turn right or
left from Stanford onto Westheimer. When
trying to cross Westheimer at this inter·
section, it sometimes takes a long time
because of oncoming traffic.
It would also help ifthere were not a bus
stop across the street from each other.

A Surprise for Pisces
By Merk Orion
For Fnday, Jsn 3, 1986,
through Thursday. Jan 9. 1986
ARIES-Quick decisions and the ability
to organize with a sense of authority is
one of your unique talents This brand
new year is a good time to begin or
expand on an ambitious venture. Nothing
seems to be too much for you
TAURUS-Your year ahead opens with
financial interest. You have a great head
for business: make sure it's alert to avoid
mistakes. Look for an ending and a
beginning and a possible smokescreen.
Spend latter days next week with social
friends.
GEMINI-You've laid your groundwork,
maybe even built your prototype.
Now, you have to see if it will fly and try to
enlist the aid of others. Your presentation
plays a key role. Not this weekend, but
next, you'll obtain real confidence.
CANCER-You're trying to make
someone into something they're not.
Your intentions may be quite good, but
lay off the gilding for now Appreciate
everybody just for who they are, free of
your fantasies (no matter how wonderful
they may be) The Golden Rule applies
here.
LEO-Bringing clarity and order to
your previous confusion and chaos is a
good thing to be doing at this time of the
year. Getting organized now brings its
own kind of freedom. Get it togetherthen
get together.
VIRGO-Spend time and money wisely
this weekend. Concentrate on your own
enterprises, don't invest in others. Later,
emotions run high and it may be hard to
keep perspective. Remember the year is
very young.
LIBRA-Imaginative flair and creative
approaches should keynote your first
weekend of 1986. Experiment You'll have
willing hands ready to pitch in. Romance
takes a happy leap forward, too, while
days next week bring a spot of work.
SCORPIO-Understanding dawns as a
certain mental log jam dissolves. Cooperation
with others is both necessary and
beneficial. Someone else may supply the
vision, but you're the one to make it
happen in 1986. Go to it!
SAGITTARIUS- True to your essential
nature, all that energy you've been feeling
is finding its purpose and direction.
You can be a real help to others You're
learning to share without giving it all
away Ever thought of becoming a sex
therapist?
CAPRICORN-Words for your ego this
weekend: You are generous, optimistic
and usually even-tempered. You may be
a push-over for flattery, but can ultimately
tell if 11 has the ring of truth. In
jewelry, you prefer gold over silver.
Clothes are important to you, and even in
your oldest duds, you always look greatl
AQUARIUS Roll out the welcome
mat; company's coming early in 1986.

Controversy Causes Tennis Club to Split
Sports Voice
Bemg unable to dissolve difference><
among the membership concerning the
organization' by.Jaws and constitution,
the Houston Tennis Club has split into
two groups.
Some members of the former Houston
Tennis Club, have formed the Hou-Tex
Tennis Club. However, it has come to the
attention of SportsVoice that the name
Hou·Tex Tennis is registered by the man·
agement of the Houston Tennis Club.
DifferenceR among members of the
Houston Tennis Club surfaced at the
club's Christmas party on Dec. 14. At that
time, Revera! members voted to approve a
new set of by.Jaws. Rich Corder, club
member and challenge ladder director,
argued that the proper parliamentary
procedures were not being applied.
According to a statement relea!<ed by
the Hou-Tex club, "The Club voted to res·
cmd the old by-laws and approve each
article in the by-laws, constitution and
rules one at a time. The by-laws, constitu·
lion and rules were accepted by majority
vote. The majority made that decision; the
majority will rule."
In the Dec. 24 edition of The Netsletter, a
club organ, Corder states," 'the group' led
by Chavez, Kitch and Kelley (who had told
me there would be no by-laws, etc.,
changes at the party/ meeting, since he
did understand that the two-week notice to
the entire membership had not been done
properly or timely), proceeded to vote out
the old set of by-laws (which Kitch said
were not being used anyway and were not
good, etc. and vote in a new constitution,
by-law~ and never-before-seen rules (They
said the membership had been given these
at the November . . . but all of you who
were at the Nov. meeting, or received your
printed information from Chavez only 10
days before the Christmas party were
Frontrunners to Participate

Tenneco Marathon. The event will be held

Training for the marathon begins about
Ill weeks prior to the race and many
runners average 40-60 miles per week the

Junk Movies: The Very Worst of 1985
By Scott Cutsinger
Montrose \ioice Film Critic
Well, it', that time again. Once more we
scrape the bottom of the barrel for the
trash among treasure. Movies that were
avoided at the theaters are now out on
videocassette, and we really need to know
what is worth our time and money
Moviegoers spent a lot less at the movies
in 1985 than 1984, and most people attribute
It to "poor product." The movies
seemed to fall into three main categories:
popular, medicorc and small. Popular
films like Back to the Future and Rambo
made big bucks, while small films like
Coca Cola Kui and After Hours slipped in
and out too fast. Other mediocre films like
Return to Oz and Falcon and the Snou"
man either hit or missed according to the
mood of the country.
This year only a few of the "popular"
films made the box office dollars, and everything
else sort of staggered along and
barely broke even. Cable TV and videocassettes
accounted for a bigger chunk of
the entertainment dollar, and the movie
industry '<uffered. Unfortunately, they
have not risen to the occasion with better
ammunition. There were still too many
sequels, teen movies and trash films, all
being shown in boxy theaters with poor
sound.
Since 1985 movie« weren "t doing so hot.
the studios decided to re-relea'e some of
the 19H4 biggies. Unfortunately, people
were tired of Gremlins, Ghostbusters and
Return of the Jedi, resulting in a big noshow
Audiences know now that a rere
I ease usually signals that a
videocassette "';11 be popping up soon, so
they'll wait.
Several sequels were attempted once
again, but most were poor copies that
made little money. Rocky IV was fun and
is really raking it in. but it certainly is a
rehash of the previous three. Mad Max
3-Beyond Thunderdome, National lampoon's
European Vacation, and Friday
the 13th Part 4-A Neu· &ginning(spare us
please) were all unnecessary and audien·
ce' soon caught on to the fact that they
weren "t too good.
Zombies were all the rage thi>' year in a
lot of horror films. There were nuclear
zombies in Warnin,ir Sign, space zombies
in l.i{f'{orcc, and regular ol' zombies in
Day of the Dead and Return of the Living
Dead Only Return managed to be enter·
taimng by adapting a wonderful "tongue
in cheek approach that really had me
laughing.
Several popular actors scored only one
for three in comedy films that didn't turn
out so great. John Candy missed with
Breu·sters Millions and Voluntens, and
hit mediocre with the snappy Summu
Rental. Chevy Chase proved that he could
act without falling down in the very funny
Fletch, but fell on his face again with
stupid antics like Spies like Us and the
terrrible European Vacation. Maybe next
year they could strive for quality over
quantity.
Finally, the worst overuse of a theme
this year was "The Ru. sians-" We had a
eteroid Russian fighter in Rocky /\/, Ru•-
11ian defector& in White Night.,, and Russian
missle threats in Spies like Us. With
patriotism 'oaring, it's easy to make buf·
foons out of the Russians and end up look
ing like American propaganda instead.
The movies did their share of flag waving
(just like during the war), but it sure
doesn't help for1>ign relations-now does
it?
The following worst li~t contain' the
films that I felt have little or no cinematic
value. The runners-up are films that had a
few bright spots, but for the most part were
al«o di•cardable. It was definitely a bleak
year for moviegoerF, but hopefully in 1986
I won't have trouble narrowing down my
list to 20 big duds. Anyway.you have bet>n
warned about the;e-so be on the lookout!
Sluggers Wife-Oscar wmner
Michael O"Keefe tGreat Santini! and wri·
ter Neil Simon should hide their heads and
put this baseball turkey in a closet somewhere.
The story about a sluggish power
hitter married to a rising rock singer was
silly and oh so dull. We won't even mention
Rebecca DeMornay's hilarious rock
numbers.
2. Bride-A shamelessly boring adap·
lion of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein
crossed with Pygmalion and starring
Sting nnd Jennifer Beals (Flashdance).
Sting •at and brooded over his creation,
while Jennifer walked around thecountry•
1de in flawless attire doing and saying
nothing. The only thing worth watching
was four.foot actor David Rappaport and
his bizarre friend•hip with 6"4" actor
Clancy Brown las Frankenstein).
3. Torchlight-Excruciatingly bad
drama about cocaine addiction that
nobody should have to sit through. Pam·
ela Sue Martin was the wife of our worst
actor of the year (Steve Railsback), a sick
man who ruined himself and sold every·
thing to get drug money. Unintentionally
funny are scenes where Raislback sneaks
into his own closet to toke on a huge water
pipe.
4. Tl'en Wolf-With the success of
Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future, an
independent company made a hoopla (and
a lot of bucks) off this low-budget werewolf
movie. When Fox starts getting hairy one
night and finds his Dad doing the same, I
started laughing at the bad makeup.
When he transformed into a werewolf mid·
court during a basketball gam, I decided it
was time to go home.
5. Last Dragon-Berry Gordy's attempt
to cross martial arts with dance video was
a bona fide disaster. Vanity (a Prince protege)
made a nondescript debut as a dance
palace deejay who is befriended by a cute
Bruce Lee fin a tic (Taimak). A low point for
black cinema, although teens flocked to
see this trash over and over
6. National lampoon's European
Vacation-This sequel to Vacation a few
years back had the same actors but notthe
88me humor. The Grizwald family travels
from country to country, wrecking havoc
and basically acting very ignorant and
stupid. The only funny sequence was
when mother spots a giant billboard of
herself in an X-rated movie (a thief
snatched some dirty home movies). Other·
wise, the film was totally devoid of any·
thing reeembling a laugh
7. Better Off Dead-Director Savage
Steve Holland came to Houston to defend
his comedy as a parody of all the stupid
teen moVJes. Well, we had sick jokes, fat
boys, dumb jocks, stupid girls, and all the
rest, so I guess it wasn'tjust a parody after
all. Things were only spruced up by some
crazy animation sequences that really
belong in some animation festival and not
in this movie.
8. Commando-After the terrific T1'rm1·
nator, we sure expected more from Arnold
Schanenegger than thi• silly "Rambolik~"
rip-off. Larking basic dialogue, storyline,
or sensibility, this "blow-up"
adventure just wobbled along to the big
explosive finale. Rae Dawn Chong (who
should know better) somehow manages to
stand by Arnold through the whole film ,
only flinching slightly when she nearly
blows him to bits with a giant bazooka.
9. L1fl'forc-l'-Our worst actor of the year
Steve Railsback, popR up again in this hor'.
rible sci·fi epic. Everything from the dia·
logue to the wide-eyed expressions were
straight out of camp fifties films like
lnvadns from Mar.,, and the special
effects were definitely not done by Spiel·
burg's industrial light and magw com·
pany
10. Secret Admirer-The worst film of
the year, and well deserving of that title. A
love letter wrecks havoc when people just
happen to keep losing and finding it, and
also wondering who wants their body.
Besides the usual stupid teenagers. there
is a gaggle of very silly and immature
adults who also try to get in on the action.
A very bad film that will hopefully never
grace a silver screen again.
o Runners-up
II Cats Eye-Not one, but three very
badly done Steven King stories.
12. Pale Rider-Clint Eastwood's comeback
Western was a rip-off of Shane and
boring to top it all off.
13. ll'gend of Billy Jean-Helen Slater
(Supergir/) adds a second turkey to her
acting credits in this "teen on the lam"
flick .
14. Mad Max 3 Beyond ThunderdomeOnly
Tina Turner brightened this blatant
waste of film that featured endless shots of
Mel Gibson trudging (and trudging)
through the desert.
15. Godzilla 1985-The return of
Japan's super monster was greeted, as you
might expect. with less than spectacular
reviews.
16. King David-Australain director
Bruce Beresford attempted a Richard Gere
biblical epic, and got something on the
order of the campy Samson and Delilah
played straight and dusty.
17 Perfect-John Travolta sunk further
into oblivion as an obnoxious Rolling
Stone reporter investigating Jamie Lee
Curtis, health clubs, and whatever el~e he
could stick his nose into.
18. Spies like Us-Chevy Chase and
Dan Ackroyd bubble around on a stupid
mis11ion that's full of empty jokes and
leads totally nowhere.
19. Volunteers-This John Candy/ Tom
Hanks vehicle about Peace Corp volunteers
should have been hilarious, but
somewhere along the way the writers gave
up and left everything in shambles.
20. Mean Season-A senseless and violent
drama about a killer who calls a reporter
right before he kills. Kurt Russell and
Mariel Hemingway wandered aimlessly
looking for the sick killer, and somehow
find themselves in the Everglades (of all
places) at the end.

Living for the New York Stock Exchange?
Stuart, you must be deranged,
Your only interest be Dow Jones?
Stuart, you must be blind,
What will you leave behind
When you are only bones?
At times, one of the market's bulls,
At times, one of the market's famous bears.
Stuart, your money may buy you jewels,
But it cannot wipe away Loneliness' tears.
Which will it be this week?
What stocks will you now seek?
Will it be steels, banks or computers,
Or, will you buy commodity futures?
Yes Stuart continue to speculate,
While you remain without a mate.
Let your stock charts determine your fate,
While you any chance for Love negate.
Stuart spend all your time with charts,
Use all your energies and smarts,
To make the right buy-use your guile,
And then leave Texas with nary a smile.
'Cause you keep Looking to money
to be your nurturing River Nile,
While you've left behind in Texas,
fine, beautiful Kyle.

And So Be It Resolved
By the staff of the Montrose Voice
While taking down the decorations and
sweeping up the confetll, Soap decided to
prepare a few resolutions to be used as a
guide to a highly successful social year in
Montrose. Because there are so many
wonderful things to do, these resolutions
should be a lot easier to keep than such
dreadful ones like promising to work out
regularly
1 Never miss an Encore party The New
Year's Eve bash was a Number to
remember.
2. Always begin Sundays on Pacific
Street By parking once and partying all
day, there's no need to rush from the depths
of The Mine, all the way up to Heaven, after
having a little taste with JR.
3. To the newly rediscovered 611 and the
Metro. both soaring to new heights in 1986.
4. To ''Thank God for little girls" because
they grow up to be beautiful women. Always
take a tip from Bacchus to share in the
Kindred Spirits, at Just Marlon and Lynn's.
5 To head down Main Street on the way
downtown. You can always get Rich's with a
Venture-N to the Exile.
6. May It be resolved that It Is a sad goodbye
to the Chicken Coop, but the bigger
animals are still 1n The Barn.
7 I also resolve never to look under
Mary's dress as she pulls the Ripcord and
Chui" down to The Bayou Landing.
8 As I stp grog tn The Galleon, may I
never forget my Cousins in the Briar Patch
with E/J and Dirty Sally.
9 I will try my best to look for Bears anytime
I dredge The Brazos River Bottom
because all so often they come In Twins.
10. For safety's sake, I will slow down On
the Curve and stop at the Corner before
heading out to KJ's.
11 Finally, I will strive to cut out all of my
Risky Business at Studio 13 and save it for
when I am behind The Ranch.
Now on to other things.
-e-
There are three times a year when virtually
every gay person comes out: Halloween.
Gay Pnde Sunday and of course last Tuesday
Every club in town was wall to wall with
men and women At Heaven, the crowd
danced 1111 the sun came up And at Mary's,
Drl1coll Street Cafe, JR'a, The 611, Mining
Co., KJ'1, Ripcord, Venture-N, Cousins,
Galleon, Kindred Spirits, etc., etc., the bal·
loons dropped. Auld Lang Syne played, the
champagne flowed freely, some shed a sentimental
tear, the rowdy got rowdier, and
the party continued all night.
-e-
With all our resolutions made, let's get on
with plans for the first quarter of 1986.
The BRB's 8th anniversary 1s coming Jan.
26. But you don't have to wait until then to
•git country." Every Sunday tn January,
they're having a Sunday afternoon Denim
Dance and Wrangler Roundup (Levis too, of
course). DJ David Royalty starts at 4pm and
the BR Band starts at 7
-e-
KJ'a is the new gay bar in North Houston,
11830 Airline. They always have something
going on, including a Wednesday late night
happy hour, 11pm to 1am. and a Sunday
pool tourney
e
The Ort1coll Street Cata now has Sylvia
Reyes entertaining on the piano. Stop in at
1834 Westhe1mer.
-e-
The House on Pies at 61 42Westheimercontinues
with their incredible $1 .90 breakfast
special. (And breakfast begins at midnight.)
Don't get your House of Pies mixed up.
They're both good eating places. but the
breakfast special 1s good ONLY at the 6142
westheimer House of Pies.
-o-
The Boulevard Cale's Big Bang Breakfasts
continue too Only $1.99. And you get both
eggs and pancakes AND choice of bacon or
sausage.
Chutes will tum you upside down!
Video Trend, 1401 California, has received
copies of several major gay art movies, such
as "Taxi Zurn Kio" and "El Deputado." But
you better reserve them fast (or lastly?)
-e-
First there were stnp night Tuesdays at
JR'1. Everybody thought It was a most
unlikely place for a stnp contest. But surprise!
It became THE place to be on Tuesdays.
Well NOW, they are going to be have
show nights (we're talking DRAG. honey)
on Sundays at JR's. Unbelievable! Two
shows, 10pm and midnight It starts NEXT
Sunday, the 12th, with Kandi Delight. Diane
Martell and Tiger Lil. And NO cover.
-e-
Will they EVER open that patio at the Mining
Co.? Well you can get a peek every Sunday
in January for the Mme's Construction Beer
Busts All tips for the beer bust will be
donated to the T.H R.F. 21.06 Supreme
Court Appeal Fund
-e-lf
you ever thought you were a star, now you

Dr. Didato's Personality Quiz
Do You Live in the Perfect Tense?
By Salvatore V. Didato, Ph.D.
f',"ews Amen.ca Syndtcatl'
Special to the Montrose Voice
Any reasoning soul knows for a fact that
no one is perfect, right? Wrong. There are
die-hard among us who strive for perfec·
tion with 11 belief that this happy state of
being is entirely attainable.
But, to paraphrase poet Alexander
Pope, "Whoever thinks a faultless piece to
sec, thinks what n'er shall be."
Our p<>rfectionistic comrades are really
playing a game which cannot be won.
Right off, it behooves us to state that
striving for the best isn't a bizarre mind
set. It only becomes a problem when it
strains our relationship with others and
when it runs us, exhausted, into the
ground
Studie!! show that perfectionists are
compulsive persons who become
entangled in detaih;. They suffer from
what pt1ychoanalyst Karen Horney called
the "tyranny of the should," a feeling that
they should have done better at anything
they attempted to do. Their mood swings
exefed those of an average person and,
what is probably most important. they get
in to conflicts with thoi;e who can't tolerate
their rij?id qtandard,;.
If you've ever wondered whether you
have perfectionistic tendencies, then the
quiz ahead might tell. Jui;t rate youn;elf on
each item as follows: I-Disagree; 2-
Agree somewhat; 3-Agree qtrongly.
Answers follow
1 I would feel a strong urge to level a
hangin1t picture which was slightly tilted.
2. lt would bothermcifl had to poqtpone
11 1ob which I had already started. .
3. If I don't ke<>p setting high standards
for myself, I believe I will fall behind.
4 . Even if no one would notiC'e it,
couldn't knowingly let mistakes in my
work remain uncorrected.
Right off, it behooves
us to state that striving
for the best isn't a
bizarre mind set. It
only becomes a problem
when it strains
our relationship with
others and when it
runs us, exhausted,
into the ground.

5. I don't like to admit my weaknesses to
others.
6. I am not satisfied to do only an average
job
7 My parents always demanded the
best from me.
8. I don't function too well if my work
area is not neat and organized.
Explanation
Few reAearch facts are available on the
subject of perfectionism. A leading authority
on the subject is Dr. David D. Bums,
profeA80r of psychiatry at the University
Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
He finds that such type,; have obAessivecompulsive
personality makeups. They
are guilty of "all or nothing" thinkin1t.
They can't re-adjust their standards even
when there'~ plenty of leeway for them to
do so. They often experience a kind of anti·
climatic, downcast feeling after they have
expended much energy and drive on a job.
Perfectionists experience unusual inner
stress when faced with challenges. They
often develop "performance anxiety"-a
fear which prevails before a test or prior to
a situation in which they mustconfrontan
obstacle on their way to a worthwhile
goal
Burns investigated the "perfectionistic
cognitive st~le," as he calls it, in the work
setting to find if such persons actually
wind up earning more money than those
who are more easy-paced. Out of a group of
34 insurance agents tested, 18 who
attained the highest score on a test of perfectionism
were selected for the survey.
Surprisingly, the average earnings of the
high scorers were actually less than those
who were not perfectionists. Apparently,
the salesmen who strove for perfect perfor·
mance were paying the price in dollars for
their mental attitude.
o Score
Add up your points. Our quiz isn't an offi·
cial teAt, of course, but consider that a
score between 14 and 19 is average. Scores
of 20 or more indicate that you tend to
have perfectionistic personality features.
Note: In his work at the University of
Pennsylvania Mood Clinic, also known as
the Center for Cognitive Therapy, Burns
finds that perfectionists can learn to be
more flexible and less driven by their com·
pulsion to achieve all things without flaw.
Similar bre1.1kthroughs have been made
by other therapists.
