By Connie Woods
Muntrmw \.'oice Staff Reporter
"It's a sad dny in our community," said
Marian C'olf'man regarding the murder of
"Just'' Marinn and Lynn's owner Marion
Pantzer
''Marion was an inRtitution. She provided
a space for us when no one else
would. And I was a partofthatspact>," i:;he
added.
Marion Elizabeth Pantzer was gunned
down in hn bar at 12:[-)() a.m. Tuesday as
she stood talking with friends at the 903
Richmond locntion.
According to the police rPport, a prrimn
with a Mki mask on his face entered the
front door of tht• duh and waved a gun nt
tht• hnrtt·nder PE>te Flores
Pantier had alwavs warned her
t-mployees not to resist a· robber. Although
the masked ma·n said nothing, Florei:i went
to the cash register to remove the cash.
The suspect then walked to the end of the
bar where Pantzer was standing and shot
her an unknown number of times, according
to investigators.
"Pelt! said he heard two shots," Ricci
Cortf.:'l. bar manager said. Cortez also said
ohe thought that Pantzer pulled her KUn to
protect Flore11. Her gun was found near her
body.
Police said the BUSJ>l'<.'l left the bar
through the front door and fled to a car
where a driver was waiting and sped
away. The car was described a~ a 19t'O or
I9Al four-door Toyota.
"'The entire co~munity feels the 1068 of
Marion," Coleman., owner ot Kindred
Spirts and the House of Coleman said .
.. She made so manv contributions. She
was there when a l~t of us needed herwhen
no was else was there.
"One Chri~tmas the woman I wais ·with
had committed suicide. Marion invited me
over for Christmas. I 1A·iH never forget it,"
Colt·man added.
'It is such o shock and !oss to everyone,"
Cine of Panuer's employttR said. "'We
could always depend on her and so could
her customers."
Pantzcr had owned and operated "Ju•t"
Marion and Lynn's for almost 14 years.
The bar, according to many of her customers,
had been a cornerstone of the community
A veteran of Wc1rld War II, Pantzer

AAF, WA AC. She was employed for years
b' the President First Lady Health Club
i~ the executive offices. \\'hen she moved

Bar Owners Tell of Rudeness by Agents
Alcohol Regulatory Agency Speaks Before HOBO
By Connie Woods
Montrosr Voice staff reporter
Members of the Houston Organization of
Bar Owners had the opportunity Wednes·
day at its regular monthly meeting to ask
queRtions and get answers from a represt>
ntative of the Texas Alcohol and Bever·
age Commil:ision.
The gay bar owner's grdup, known by
the initials HOBO, held its March meeting
at the Bra1.0s River Bottom, 2400 Brazos.
Gene Thomas, an administrator with
TABC, took questions from the group concerning
policies and problems the bar
owners have been having with the law
t>nforc(•ment agencies in Houston.
One of the issues discussed concerned
problems with law enforcement agents
comin.c to the bars during peak hours to
check for lirenses. "Why is it they come
during our peak times when we have a lot
of customers in the bar? Couldn't they
check for licenses during the day," Alan
Pierce, HOBO president, asked.
Thomas pointed out that officers come
during peak hours to see that the laws are
being kept. "Violations occur when people

are there-during peak hours," Thomas
told the group.
Thomas said his office has received 600
complaints since Jan. 1. The majority of
the complaints concern selling liquor to
minors and drunks as well as complaints
of prostitution.
Pierce pointed out to Thomas that the
bar owners are in the middle. Citing sev·
era) events whi<'h have occurred in bars
recently where officers arre8ted a customer
after entering the bar already intoxi·
cated, Tom Corrigan of the Bayou
Landing asked for an explanation.
"Why did the police wait until the per·
son entered my bar to arrest him?" Corri·
gen asked. ThomaR replied, "They wanted
to see what the bartender would do."
The group voiced other remarks over
agents' rudeness to the bar owners. Thomas
pointed out that the TABC is paid
through the monies from the bars.
"Agents are risking their jobs if they are
rude with gay bars. I would think they
would be on their best behavior," he told
the owners.
After Thomas finished answering questions,
Pirrce brought up the seriousness of
robberies in the Montrose area. "SevPral

referring to Tuesd8y morning's murder of
Marion Pantzer, owner of "Just" Marion
and Lynn's.
The group discussed ways of discouraging
robbers from "hitting the bars late at
night." Jay Allen, owner of the Galleon on
Richmond, suggested the use of video
cameras behind the bar
Pierce also suggested to the group that a
reward be established for the the Marion

AIDS Virus Found in Women's Fluid
In the continuing search to determine how
the AIDS virus is spread from one individ·
ual to another. researchers now say they
have identified the virus for the first time
in women's genital secretions.
In separate reports published in the
latest issue of the British journal Lancet,
researchers from San Francisco and Boston
report finding the AIDS virus in the
secretions of eight women. While this does
not mean the virus can be transmitted
from women to men during sexual intercourse,
the researchers suggest casual sex
and multiple sex partners be avoided.
To better sen!e your needs .. .
Tom Audette, direct.or of the Montrose
Clinic, said the findings are "not a great
revelation," and that isolating the AIDS
virus in women's secretions had always
been considered possible.
While researchers say the likelihood of a
man contracting AIDS from a woman is
probably slight. George Budd, administrative
assistant of the KS1 AIDS Foundation,
says heterotiexual men and women
need to "play safe." He added that
although the risk of lesbians contracting
AIOS is low, "They should also begin to
look toward safe "ex ."

Victim of Slow Business
Houston Guest House Shuts the Doors
By Pete Diamond
Montro&e Voice Staff Reporter
Despite some sunny predictions for the
Montrose economy, the Houston Guest
House has fallen victim to the economy's
darker side. Calling the two hou~es
located al 104 and 106 Avondale "a tremendous
financial burden," a spokesman
for the owner said the decision to clORe the
Guest Hou:-;e was made this past weekend
after a great deal of cons1dt>ration.
'"The Guest House wa~ a significant
drain in this economy. It wa.ti ridiculous to
continue pouring money into it," said the
spokesman, who asked not to be identified.
'"The downturn in the Houston economy
has affected everybody. It's cheaper
to close down the Guest House than continue
to operate at a negative ca.sh flow-"
The Guest House had been operating at
an occupancy rate of25-30 percent. but60
percent wru; needed to break even for covering
"tremendously high·' utilities. staff
salaries and mortagage payments, he
said.
The decision to close the Guest House
was not made on the spur of the moment.
the spokesman Raid. He added that up
until the past few weeks. renovations and
other improvements were being made on
the houses.
The cloamg of the Guest Hou~e was
especially a shock for a Toronto man who
arrived on Monday to see the furniture
being moved out of the houses. David Hull
said he left the cold and snow ofToronto to
spend two weeks in Houston at the Guest
House, He added that his reservation had
been confirmed the day before he left for
Houston. but when he arrived he found a
note stating that "due to circumstances
beyond our control. the Houston Guest
House is closing-"
"It's really a dissappointment. It
always made my trip to Houston," said
Hull. who had b<>en coming to the Gueal
House for the past five years.
The Guest House spokesman expre&Red

Fundraiser Held for 21.06 Fight
Several leadns in the fight to repeal Texas Pfnal Code 21.06 were in Houston last
Fri.day. March 7, t:D raise funds for legal expenses. From left to right are, Tom

The Texas law that makes sexual activity
between two consenting adults illegaloften
referred to as 21.06-hae far·
reaching effects that deny basic human
right.a, according to speakers at a Houston
fundraising reception Friday. March 7, at
the Shamrock Hilton Hotel, held in support
of repealing the law
Don Baker of Dallas, who seven years
ago filed a lawsuit to challenge the sta
lute's constitutionality, called it a threat
to members of Texas' gay communities
"Each day it is on the books it does a
little bit more hurt to you and me," Baker
said. "It denies you and me the most basic
human rightR-to affirm ourselves."
Although 21 .06 was ruled unconstitutional
m 19ii2, the Fifth Circuit Court of
Appeals tn New Orleans overturned that
ruling Aug. 26, 198.5, recriminalizing gay
men and lesbians in Texas. Individuals
workmg to repeal the law, such as Har·
bara Jane Ander~on, 21.06 state coordinator,
say the law affects everyone in the gay
community.
Anderson says that under the law gay
men are not the only people who are criminals
in TexaR. She also says the term .. sod
omy law," as 21.06 is sometimes referred
to, i!i misleading. As long as 21.06 iM
upheld by the courts, gay men and lt'llbians
can more easily be harasRed in ban
and other mef>ting places, and be denied
freedom of assembly, employment and
businetts and professional licenses.
The law also can be used in custody suite
to take a child away from a gay or le.bian
parent, Anderson says, even if that parent
happens lo be the better parent for the
child.
Following what he calli; a low point in
the battle to strike 2L06 from stale law
books, Texas Human Rights Foundation
executive director Tom Coleman says a
definite comeback is now being made
toward gaining support for repeal of the
statute. For example, one positive step for
ward Coleman mentioned, is that Texas
Attorney General James Mattox has
expressed that the 1982 ruling on 21.06
should not have been appealed.
Coleman stTP.ssed, however, that fight
ing 21.06 is, and will continue to be. an
expensive battle, and called for the help of
gay community, whether it be in the form
of voluntttr time or monetary donations.
H• added, "Whatever we are able to do.
nobody will be ahle lo look back and say
we didn't do our best"

Montrosr Voice Staff Rrporter
Annise Parker, Gay Political Caucus pres·
ident, announced on Thursday, March 13,
that the organization would be moving its

The first announcement that they were

offiee as well as for a meeting place~"
Parker explained.
"Dignity Center has bet.·n a good place
for us in the paf!t, but we must try to find
new facilitieH," she said Wedn~day, prior
to the announcement that the Lovett Blvd.
location had been secured.
Gearing up for the elections, the caucus
unnouneed that it had begun its screening
of political candidates seeking the GPC
endorsement. The screenings will continue
through the end of March.

Park, Easter Sunday, Mareh :JO.

Ruffin, a HouHton singer. The event begins
at 7;30 p.m. with a $10 charge and
sponsor seating for $25.
The caucus voted to hold its Community
Awards Dinner, Saturday, June 21 , in

Taurus Sees Light
at End of the Tunnel
By Mark Orion
For fflday. March 14.
through Thursday. March 20, 1986
ARIES-Caesar was warned about
these days a long time ago. Now is the
time to heed the warning. You are doing
great and enjoying every minute of it.
En1oy the fun but don't forget about
tomorrow Remember to save something
for a ramy day,
TAURUS-You have reached the end
of the tunnel. It was dark for a while but
you now see the light. Don't take your
new found knowledge for granted. It is
something no one can take away from
you
GEMINI-Very seldom do you pay
attention to minor details when meeting a
new person. But, somehow a special trait
about someone new has impressed you.
Is it the twitch of the eye, or maybe, the
glimmer of the smile? Think about it
CANCER-Spring is almost here and
you can hardly wait. It's been a long, cold
winter and you've been huddled up at
home too long Get ready for a lovely time
of sun and fun. A new hobby will provide
you with some much needed exercise.
LEO This is the height of your entertaining
season and you rise to every
occasion. Whether 1t"s for a weekend or a
few hours. your guests will feel welcome
in your company. Enjoy the company and
don't fret too much over details
VIRGO-The demands of a new relationship
have you rearranging yoursche-dule.
Use your excellent organizational
skills to add hours to the day. You'll find
that by using time efficiently you can
enjoy your social life without neglecting
work responsibilities.
LIBRA It's spring time and you're
ready to bloom. Now 1s a fine time to
update your wardrobe in favor of a fresh
new look Exercise and a good diet will
help you pull off the total picture. Others
are sure to notice the new you
SCORPIO-A new work assignment
has you working overtime. Don't let it
overwhelm you. You are quite capable of
completing the job and superiors know
this Just take 1t one step at a time. Don't
allow the new occupational demands
force you to ignore the domestic front
SAGITTARIUS-You misunderstand a
remark by an acquaintance. Although
you are somewhat offended, there was no
harm intended. Don't let an isolated incident
ruin the relationship. You've both
invested too much time in your friendship
to let 1t end now
CAPRICORN .Your need to get away
and your budget don't seem to be cooperating.
Consider a short, inexpensive
getaway. I twill relieve the tension and not
strain your wallet. Getting away will help
put a domestic problem in a different
perspective
AQUARIUS You have reconciled differences
with someone at work? This will
improve both your emotional health and
improve your productivity Now that
that's taken care of, dive into that new
assignment. Consult with superiors
before making major decisions,
PISCES-St. Patrick's Day 1s your kind
of holiday. You will enjoy the revelry with
friends. Don't be surprised if a lucky
leprechaun has something special in
store for you ., ...

When poet Robert Bums wrote that it's a
gift to see ourselves as others see us, he
probably wasn't talking about prejudiced

Out of the Nest Early and on Their Own
The Loneliest Teens
Hy Stan W<•st and Elizabeth Boyd
l'ac1{ic Nt•u ·s Sert •1ct•
Sprrlal to thr Montrose l'mu
It's hc·t·n a long time tiince anyone told
Jfi.yc•ar-nld Cindy Valdez U:> wash the
disht'S or do her homt·work She moved out
of her pan·nt.s' home thrN• yean1 ago and
has heen living on her own every since.
These days, t1he 8pends most of her time in
front of her "shrine,' a 19-inch black and
whilt• television set.
Valdez's story is not unusual. Social
workers and family counselors in cities
aC'ross the country report that an increas·
ing number of children are striking out on
their own. Once out.side the family nest,
te<>nagers as young as 13 or 14 struggle to
cope with adult problems of housing,
employment and health care.
Valdez (who asks that her real name not
hf' used) shares a tiny apartment in down·
town Oakland, Calif. with her 22·year·old
boyfriend, Jonathan. The floors are con·
crete, and the room holds a small sofa-bed,
an empty refrigerator and the TV.
"For the last two years al1 I did was lay
in bt-d and watch TV," says Valdez. "lfl
had some weed (marijuana), I'd smoke it
until the munchies took over, and then eat
everything in sight."
Thr C'upboards and refrigerator, how·
ever, are seldom full. Her boyfriend covers
the $200 monthly rent with earnings from
a job washing cars and her mother sometimeR
buys a few groceries, but most
months Valdez struggles to make ends
meet. "Rut because the choice was mine,"
she says, "I have no regrets."
Tef'nugt•rH make that choice for diverse
rt•asons-somc have abusive parents; oth·
er8 nre push('d out by neglect. or abandon·
ment. ValdC'z moved from her parents'
nearby home after a serieA of arguments
ovt'r her boyfritnd. Three years later, her
par(•nts still rt•fuse to visit her
'Both of my parents were so hurt when I
left," says Valdez. "Screaming, they told
Although state laws vary, minors generally do
not have the right to establish residency, sign a
lease, consent to medical treament and in some
states, hold jobs. '
me I waM a sinner and I told them good·
bye··
Teenagers like these are a very small
pe-rcentage of the estimated 1 million
children between 10 and 17 who leave
home each year, but unlike most rune·
ways, they don'tsneak away without their
parents' knowing. In some cases, parenli;;
even assist in setting up the household.
Often these teenagers settle in the same
city or neighborhood and maintain relationships
with family members.
But like most runaways, they prefer life
on their own to the state's altemativefoster
care or returning home. Consequently,
motit shy away from social
service agencieR, which are required by
law to r{'turn them to the custody of a legal
guardian.
This makes it impossible to estimate the
number of teenagers living without adult
supervision_ But, says Sylvia Smith, director
of the Alameda County (Calif.) Depart·
ment of Children's Protective Services, "It
is certainly not an uncommon situation
here, and his problem is surfacing in
many other parts of the country.
Billy Woods (not his real name), 17, has
succ('HMfully concealed his situation from
all but a few truMtt"d friends for more than
a year, Living in a shabby studio apartment
in downtown San Francisco, he says
he left homt> last year "to avoid being put
out" by his mother and her third husband,
who movOO the family four times in one

"Me and my little sister felt uprooted.
like gypsies," Rays Woods. a Renior at Mission
High School in San Francisco. "So I
got me a part-time job in a store and told
my parent.a I'd had enough."
Although his parents have recently
agreed to help with expenses, most
months Woods comes up short of money.
He says he badly misses his sister, and
being part of a family. To battle his loneliness,
he writes short stories and concentrates
on his hopes of attending college
next fall.
For Valdez, Woods and others like them,
the problems are legal as well as emotional.
Until they ha\-'e gone through the
legal process of emandpation and been
declared an adult by the court. they
remain minors in the ev~ of the law ,
Although state laws varY. minors generally
do not have the right to establish
residency, sign a lease, consent to medical
treament. and in some i<tatett. hold jobs.
"Earning enough money to live on is
always hard for these kids." says Gordon
Raley. director of Public Policy for the
Washington, O.C.·based Child Welfare
League of America. "In some states,
anyone under the age of 16 cannot even
work. And even a 16 or 17-year-old won't
have the nct>Ssary job skills to support
himself."
Medical care may be even harder to find
than a job. Few minon. C'an afford treat·
ment from private hospitals. but they usu·
ally can't qualify for state-funded
Medicaid without reporting parental
income.

They like cJear-cut views of things and
are intolerant of ambiguity. Literally,
they are narrow-minded.
Allport's conclusions have been verified
many times by other psychologists.
o Score
Total your points. Though this isn't an
official test consider that your score
means the foJlowing:
S..12 points-You're mature and relatively
free of prejudice.
13-17 points- You have an average
degree of bin:-;
18-24 points-Move over, Archie
Bunker. You are likely to have too many
prejudices about others. TT)· to learn more
about those you may dislike. You might
discove-r that they struggle with the i<ame
life problems that you do.
o Reducing Prejudice
Can prejudiC"e be overcome? Yes. Examine
your own beliefs and ask: Have I outgrown
some faulty notionsl"ve had about others?
One possible antidote to prejudiC'e is for
oppm1ing groupf' to join together in doing
~mething cooperatively. Studies of integratt'd
housing and of racially mixed pla·
toons in the Armed Fol'CE's show that both
sides became more mutually accepting
than before they interacted.
But not nil cooperative ventun·s have
.ijUCh a desired effect. Much wiB depend
upan wheth('r the parties involved feel
unpreRsured about integrating and
whetheT they are gh~en equal status.
Even IP. tl-e case of an extreme medical
eme•gen<·y many states require parental
pem11ss1on bt·fore treatment of a minor. If
parents carnot be Jocatt"d, the st.ate often
assumes the role of guardian; however.
that means the minor eventually ends up
in the hands of a social ~en.;ce agencyexactl,
y what these teen~ wish to avoid.
Instead they often go without proper
care, even though there may be assistance
available.
"It'~ a failure of the tK>cial service system
that we don"t hear about these kids
until they have reachd a crisis situationin
trouble with the law, livingon the street
or in hospitals,·• says Raley. "Certainly in
some cases the child is better off away
from the parents, and a 16-year-old can
usually survive on his own. Kids need
adult supervision and guidance to thrive."
While the problem of teens leaving home
is not new to this decade, it is rapidly
increasing in both urban and suburban
areas. "We're seeing this in all families,
from all economic backgrounds." says
Raley ''It's not just a poverty-related problem."
Like the others. Terry Devereaux struggleE:
to cope in an adult world. Bare walls,
cold linoleum floo~. and a worn copy of
Charles Dicken"s A Tale of Two Cities decorate
the two-room apartment in East
Oakland, where she moved last year after
fighting with her mother over a boyfriend.
She had hoped to find work att a secretary,
but she is still unemployed. Her father
sends her $100 to cover food and her
grandmother payR her rent, but bills are a
hardship.
~·r love them for all the support they give
me," says Devereaux. who now attends an
Oakland continuation ~chool ••Jfit wasn't
for them l"d prohahh' starve."
"Rut being alone is very hard." she says,
admitting that she sometimes cries
because shE" is ~o lonely_ "Especially at
night, the Jonelines just overwhelms me."

"It's a lot differt>nt from any other race,"
Rheinecker "avs. •·There's a certain
amount of comp{.tition in any fun run, but
not with this one. This is definitely fun."

and begin l'elebrating with one of the
lar~est crowds in Hou~ton.
""This is the special time when we can all
look back and smile." Michael Griffin.
M,chtu'l Griffan, oumn of Grirs Inn,
and organizer of the largest St. Patrick s
!Jay ulebration 1n the southwest
tConnie \foods p/wto)
owner of Grife 8aid. "It's a time to be
happy and forget about all of the problem•
of the world." he added with a big smile
and chuckle.
According to Griffin, more than 3.000
people celebrated ot his place JaRt year and
he expects just as many if not more this
year
Dunng last year's celebration more
than 164 kegsofbeerwereemptied as well
as 1000 cases of beer. "It figured to be
about 15,000 to 20,000 beverages sorved
during tbe day and evening
The celebration will be no ~mailer Mein·
day when Griffin gets to have his !o;pec1al
day He said he knew of people who
planned to attend the fun coming from
Canada, New OrlE>ans, Dallas and other
cities in the state. Even the governor plans
to be a part of Grifs fun.
Planfi for day begln a month before the
event. "We will have the big tent up with
about 16 portacans throughout the property,"
Griffin explained. "We will charge
$3 per person to get in and sell drink ticket
books. The ticket books will be good for the
reHt of the month. Not just for the day." he
fiaid.
Griffin hBB a great deal of pride in the
Montrose neighborhood. The graduate of
the University of St. Thomas wants ''to
bring people to the Montrose area just to
have a good time. '
Although the St. Patrick's Day celebra
tion will be held Monday, Griffin has
already started the pre-celebration. On
Friday night at 8:00 p.m., the finals for the
St. Patrick Day's parade Queen Contest
will be held under the tent.
Bands will entertain and celebrity
judges will attend to select this year's
queen. Some of the judges will be Oilers,
Rockets and Astros as well as city offi·
cials.
On Saturday, Griffin wiJI be putting the
final touches on hi~ float by 7:00 a.m. to
prepare for the big parade. "We'll have
five bands here Saturday afternoon after
the parade," Griffin said.
Sunday will see volunteer~ helping to
clean up. the place and get ready for the
real celebration which begins at 2:00 p.m
Of course, Griffin pointed out that anyone
who would like can come by for lunch and
just stay for the afternoon end evening
Once again Griffin plans to have five
hands around the property during the day
and evening. And lots of green beer. Grif.
fin said the only thing worse than parking
in the area is the green beer and driving.
Not only does everyone have a good time
hut Griffin said he has seen several mar·
riag~ come out of the St. Patrick't; Dey
celtbrntion. "We have had more marriages
comt'!out this than you can believe."
hf! remarked ... And everyone sends me an
inv1 • on just to let me know that they
met here, ' he said y....:th great pride in his
VOICC
"We have big colJege support. Exes from
SL Thomas, Hice, U ofH, A&M and others
can SCP more of their old classmates here
th1m they can by going to the class reun·
ion," he explained
Griffin has already scheduled many of
his sports teams to help out during the
day. "We have about 16 or 17 teams.
including Roftball and soccer, who agreed
to help out at least four hours Monday," he
explained.
And no one will enjoy the event any

Commentary by Connie Woods
M1Jnt10.r Voic't' Staff Reporter
She was a friend. an acquaintance, a
buddy. Manon Pantzer, who was mur·
dered Tuesday morning, left behind more
friends than she actually knew.
"Don't print that because no one cares
where I have been or what I have done,"
she told me during a recent interview.
What Merion did not realize is that many
people did indeed care where she had been
and what 11he had done.
More importantly, everyone cared about
Mnrion Pantzer, As the shock ruNhed
through the oommunity Tuesday, every·
one was stunned. How could this havt'
h_nppencd? Why Marion? The same ques~
hons echoed throughout Montrose.
Phones rang off the hook. Everyone
wanted to know if it were true, ard when
the anp·er came, silence filled the- room
Several of her friends gathered at t.he

noon as television and newspaper repor
ters went to the bar for the story. It was
difficult to sit et the bar where I have sat
so many evenings talking with Marion
This time she wouldn't walk through the
door This time we would not be carrying
on one of our philosophical conversations.
The loss, the greatest loDs , to all of us
who knew her is that she was alwayB
there. Whenever I needed a comment for a
story, whtinever I just needed someone to
listen. and whenever I needed a friend I
knf'w she would be there.
In ::>ur interview Mhe explained why she
opened the bar in the beginning. As she
•poke. •h• deocribed the people who
needed a place like "Just" Marion and
l.ynn'a. "People go to the bar because
they're lonely They want someone to tnik

Oscar Nominee 'Official Story' Poignant but Slow
By Scott Custinger
Monlro.'ie Voice Film Critic
o Official Story
Argentina's official entry for Best Foreign
Film might just walk off with the Oscar
this year. While Norma Aleandro {who is
the film's biggest asset) failed to get a
much-d(~erved nomination, the film haR
the Argentine government situation past
or prei;ent, and this is definitely needed to
understand the impact of the horrifying
dictatorship.
The highlight of this drama is definitely
the performances. As a loving mother and
8tl'rn teacher, Norma Aleandro brings to
Alicia a stunning vitality. Her perfor·
mance is restrained and never over·
wrought. yet we always sympathize with
Norma All·andro !liars a.'i a u•oman seekmg the truth about her adopted
daughter, Analia Castro in "The Offical Story"
rerl'ived awards at several fesbvalR and
Al<'andro shared the Cannes Best AdrNHJ
Award with Cher !Mask).
Be<>nu~w of the military crisis in Argen·
tina during the seventies and early eight·
frs. films of any political nature werf> not
allowf•d to he made. Aleandro had to lt·ave
her country in 1976 because of thr(•ats to
hrr and her theater, but she returned in
1982 when the military regime was
topplt>d. This film and lal-lt vear's Camila
are a dn(•mntic resull{ence for Argentina.
and filmmakers are now experiencing a
new-found freedom.
The Off1c1a/ Story deals indirectly with
the prople and their children who diRappeared
during the brutal dictatorship and
were never heard from again. A woman
who has o five-year-old adopted daughter
begins to believe that her child may be a
child taken from one of the kidnapped
mothers. Her husband, a businessman
who once was with the previous regime,
refuses to tell her where the child came
from.
thiH barrrn woman who loves her child so
much
insight. If you bore easily, this film might
prove to be just a trial.
o Highlander
The makers of Highlander obviously had
in mind something like Bladerunner or
Terminator. Since that had already been
done, they decided to add some historical
drama and mui;ic by Queen. Throw in
vidro music director Russell Mulcahy and
a dashing ~tar ~Christopher LamberO,
and you have-quite a mes~
Highlander ~uffers from what is often
called "overdoing it!' We begin our story
in New York, switc-h back t-0 16th century
Scotland {and sE-vera1 other centuries),
and finally end up back in New York with
a fight scene featuring enough special
effects to last me through most of 1986.
People in the audience were so confused
with all the flipping through the centuries,
they kept yelling, ''Hey, where are we
now?"
The very, very thin plot concerns a
group of men who cannot die unless their
heads are cut off. Conner McLeod is the
main warrior we follow, a Scotsman who
manageA to survive from the 16th century
to the prei;ent. His main foe is Kurgan
(Clancy Brown from the Bride). a huge
beastly man who is after Conner's head
and the final prize that the remaining free
man receives.
The movie lurches back and forth
between thf' past and the pre!'ent in Ney,
York. In the past, he ha~ a beautiful wife
who he outlivet>, and an ancient Egyptian
warrior who teaches him how to survive.
Sean Conney ii- great as the teacher, a
man decked out in a peacock feather outfit
that had to be from MGM's old wardrobe
department.
In the present, Conner is an antique
dealer with a huge apartment filled with
relicR from his past He must deal with
modf>rn warriors always challenging him,
but ht· (and Durgan) manage to decapitate
most of them. Theend battle is brutal, silly
The mother (Alicia) takes it upon herself
to find out the truth. When her bet-1t friend
tells ht'I' about being raped and tortured by
the right-wing &quads, Alicia becomt·s
more determined to uncover the atrocities
that the government fails to acknowledge.
The info1T11ation that she finds and the
political people that she encounters are
often shocking.
Norma All·andro and Ht·ctor Alterior star m 'Thl• Of{ical Ston:"
As th(• etrf'<'tK fill with grandmothers
pmt(•sting the loss of their children and
grundrhildren, Alicia begins to realize
that ht·r child probably belong• to a dead
mothrr. The end of the film ii; both poignnnt
and terrifying as she confronb1 a
hopeful grandmother afi well as her huK·
hand, who suddenly turns violent wh('n
ronfrnnted with the truth.

it's a case of too much swordplay that gets
boring after a while.
Highlander was ultimately too long

but I gue11s that after the Ladyhau·kdisa.s·

A Talk with Gary Larson of 'The Far Side'
This article presented out of promotional
considerations
Thousands of telephone calls have been
pouring into the offices of the publisher of
Gary Larson'11 runaway bestselling comic
"The Far Side." Quei;;tions frequently
asked include. "le this man sick?," •·where
do these strange idea.'> come from?." and
.. You guys got something against cows?''
In an effort to stave off the calls that are
cloggmg company phone lines. Larson's
publisher, Andrews, McMeel & Parker, IB
releasing the following answers to often
asked questions. The answers are drawn
from the scores of interviews that Gary
Larson has done since "The Far Side"
books have hit all the nation's betitseller
Ii:; ts.
Per hap~ these answers can satisfy some
of the curiosity generated by "The Far
Side" rage as it sweeps across college cam·
puscto1. tiptoes into suburban household.sand
captures the mind.i; of supposedly
~ane readers.
Of course. these answers may produce a
new generation of Lanmn addicts. But
with nearly two million "The Far Side"
books in print, it'1 time to provide some
assistance for a reader's dilemma.
Who is Gary Larson?
He's a elim man in his mid-thirties.
slightly balding with benign blue eye~
behind his wire rim glasses
'"People always say. 'Gee, you look so
normal.'" Bays Larson, "I feel embar·
rassed. Like I should be there with one eye
in the middle of my forehead."
What kind of humor is this?
Fr ends describe his humor as .. dry, subtle
nnd sharp,·• while readers find it
"bizarre, morbid and absolutely hilarious."
Larson's mother says that his sense
or humor JS almost innate. She recalled
that when she woke him forGary'ssecond
day of kindergarten, he said, "What,
again?"
One of his close friendi;, Ernie Wagner, a
curator at the Seattle Zoo, summed Gary
up best when he said: "He has the ability
to tap into people's basic instincts and
childhood fears. and find the humor in
them."
Larson himself says: "'People try to look
for deep meanings in my work. I want to
say "They're ju:-it cartoons, folks.' You
laugh or you don't I don't react to cur
rent events or other ~timuli. I don't read or
watch TV to get ide&. My work is basi·
cally sitting down at the drawing table
and getting silly . •
Where on earth does Larson find his
ideas?
''I've always wanted to say that Jn my
grandma's attic. I found this old hook in
this trunk,' says Larson •·cartoon ideas
. . I don't know. I've tried to figure it out.
Why me? Why are these coming out of me?
And I've failed miserably. It'i;t juiit there."
He does. howevt'r,11peak nostalgically of
childhood tripe to collect tadpoles. newts
and salamanders. He still hat; a copy of his
favonte 11torybook, Mr. Bear Squash You
All Flat. Many ofhlB friends feel the in flu·
ence of Larson's older brother, Dan, can·
not be ignored. Dan used to wait for
-year-old Gary to go down to the bas~
ment for firewood, a task Gary despised
because "everything that was horrible in
my imagmation lived in the basemenl"
Then Dan would tum off the light, hold
the upstairs door shut and call, "It's comm-
ming, Gary! It's oom-m-ming! Can you
hear it?"
How does Larson wo rk?
LiAtening to musicians such as Dan
Hicks. Duke Ellington. DjangoReinhardt.
Charles Goodman or Benny Goodman,
Larson wrileb and draws in a second-floor
studio in his SeattJe home. There he's sur·
rounded by such artifact.a as a stuffed war-thog
head and a fossilized mastodon
tooth, given to him by his grandmother
He also keeps live pets that include several
snakes and an Argentinian carniverous
frog .
What is the future of '"The Far
Side?"
Larson's lateNt book, Valley of the Far
Side, is currently available in bookstores.
Lorson often wonders. though, if"someone's
~onna show up and say: "There's
been a big mistake. The guy next door is
supposed to be drawing the cartoon.
Here's your shovel.' '
Any more questions? No? Well, as Gary
Larson has said. "There are some people
who'd rather take 'The Far Side' at face
value. And they're the ones I don't want to
pick up hitchhiking."

Quiet Little Show Is Full of Suspense
The Alley's 'Pack of Lies'
By Bill O'Rourke
.W'ontrose Vmce Theater Critic
Pack of Lies (The Alley) is a quiet little
show that wm knock your socks off.
The play is about spies, but if you're
expectmg James Bond, stay home! Very
little action happens onstage. Not much
mrre happen~ offstage. There are abi-outely
no gimmicks.
However tf you like cerebral ~uspense 1n
the John LeCarre vr.'l, run to the theater
A man (Robert Stranel, who is vouched
for by Scotland Yard. comes into a J)(.'r·
ffftly normal British home and announces
in a chillingly off.handed
self-deprerntmg manner that his unspec1-
fied agency needs their ~econd-floor window
to spy on their neilii?h borhood
The husband is a civil servant with a
security clearance He muddles through
and pretty much accepts everything with
a quiet aplomb. Charles Krohn ii-; rapidly
bec'lmtng one of my favorite actors. He
does everything h(" can with this role
qu~"· from Carousel. I wanted to hear him
do the whole thing. Joe Bourgea has a
clear comir spark, yet somehow he was
able to k(•ep me from thinking about Jerry
Ikwis when he sang "You'll Never Walk
Alone."
Those were the stand-out performances.
Director Chad Edwards is to be congratu·
lated on presenting a very pleasant even·
