The reason for my puzzling about the contradiction derives from my first acquaintance with these icons in the Baja Mulege, Sea of Cortez where I once witnessed few Orcas decimate several dozen of the last few indigenous https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaquita</b></span></span></div>

It took the local contingent of the Mexican coast guard quite a few hours to bury the carcasses and clean the blood from the sandy beach. Why had the Orcas killed the porpoises? – because like so many overweight Seattlelites the Orcas are gourmets, they love the belly flesh of Vaquitas, it’s their delicacy, and discard the rest. I see no reason to do anything special to make sure these killers survive in the Southern Salish, plenty of them up north, it’s a feature of this city’s provincialism to have Orcas as icons. But maybe Orcas can be taught to toss footballs about?</b></span></span></div>

<b><span lang="PL" style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">No doubt the problem is not only a matter of tradition & psychology and of the cast of inadequate characters and the profound provincialitity of the audience but of economics and space pressure. Lacking also nearly entirely is a body of critics. There was such a one for a while in Roger Downey, in that respect a fellow of national talent, Misha Bernson was an adequote reviewer, and then there are a bunch of reporters. Moreover, there is a severe diminution in news outlets that is not compensated, best as I can tell by blog or social media discussion.</span></span></b></div>

<span style="background-color: cyan; color: #333333; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;">In the Southern states the development of American policing followed a different path. The genesis of the modern police organization in the South is the "Slave Patrol" (Platt 1982). The first formal slave patrol was created in the Carolina colonies in 1704 (Reichel 1992). Slave patrols had three primary functions: (1) to chase down, apprehend, and return to their owners, runaway slaves; (2) to provide a form of organized terror to deter slave revolts; and, (3) to maintain a form of discipline for slave-workers who were subject to summary justice, outside of the law, if they violated any plantation rules. Following the Civil War, these vigilante-style organizations evolved in modern Southern police departments primarily as a means of controlling freed slaves who were now laborers working in an agricultural caste system, and enforcing "Jim Crow" segregation laws, designed to deny freed slaves equal rights and access to the political system.</span><span style="background-color: yellow; color: black; font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div>

<span style="background-color: cyan;">So, if the modern American police force was not a direct response to crime, then what was it a response to? </span><span style="background-color: cyan;">More than crime, modern police forces in the United States emerged as a response to "disorder." What constitutes social and public order depends largely on who is defining those terms, and in the cities of 19th</span><span style="background-color: cyan;">century America they were defined by the mercantile interests, who </span></div>

only other time I got involved in public matters of that kind in
Seattle was during a Port Commissioner campaign nearly ten years ago.
I had befriended a candidate & then had the opportunity to delve
deeply into port matters & did a long interview with then Port's
C.E.O. Mic Dinsmore: no one wanted to publish it! Shortly after, the
state auditor found a lot of hanky-panky at the Port of Seattle, and
lots of good Commissioners got voted out of office on a wrong-headed
“throw the crooks out” campaign, that brought in two actual
crooks! I noticed how reporters, from the Seattle Times and the still
extant P.I. merely copied what the Port said, without bothering to
ask questions.</span></b></span></span></div>

first three months in Seattle I stayed with what no doubt is one of
the toughest ex-marine hippies the world has ever, a friend from
Mexico, in a spectacular loft on Elliott, opposite the P.I. Building
- as a New York loft dweller I had never encountered timber that
size. Jerry was using the space to rebuild his truck, an elephant,
with which he hoped to drive all the way to Patagonia, and to repair
rusty French automobiles - not very conducive sounds or smells to my
line of work, but the daily walk along Elliot Bay through Myrtle
Edwards Park is still with me and the Geese noshing on grain at the
rails by the grain terminals...</span></span></b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><b>Since - but for
being at the mercy, especially in Manhattan, of the large-scale
tectonic machinations of its real estate moguls - I hadn't had bad
experiences along that line, renting, privately & in business, in
the notorious New York City housing market I certainly did not
anticipate the crooks & exploiters and renters of wrecks that are
the vultures that live off the students of the University of
Washington. Meanwhile - due to the late 90s housing boom and increase
in house prices - a lot of the wrecks have been demolished &
replaced & students that do not live on-campus must commute
longer distances. Of, say, the dozen different venues where I
resided, maybe two were not run by exploiters of the worst kind. The
best, however, where I resided five years (until the house was sold),
was owned by a dear man who abided the legalities of rental laws &
to the extent that he kept renting, say, to folks who showed up at
his place covered in shit, thus ruining the abode for the other half
dozen folks, inhabitants, which is why I have a chapbook's worth of
stories just about those landlords and ladies & some of the
amazing critters I encountered there: The real McCoy, and her naked
full-grown son, who barricaded her basement exits - until I called
the fire department - so as to be able to observe her tenants passing
in & out; Red Eric the Nietzchean beatnik of one apoplexy &
one fit of vengeance per minute; ultra-gay Max in his Vespa with his
cleaning tools tooling around who comically tried to tell his tenants
what to do by standing in their way; the hotspur Berber, a
mathematician, who if he didn't get his way at once proved that every
culture has its Mama's boy; the Marine brig guard who sought to
enforce complete quiet... I could go on for days... </b></span></span></span>

the course of these 20 years there has been an extraordinary increase
in obesity of a kind I never saw before, anywhere, which must have
added at least 10 t0 20 pounds to the girth of the average
Seattlelite. How many more “fatheads” among the sport fans?</span></b></span></span></div>

for having an affair, and the wrong kind of business, meanwhile
Seattle has become a sports town, and the sprained pinky of a Seahawk

identity is being merged with that of a commercial enterprise.</span></b></span></span></div>

region continues to feature the grisliest of crimes, mass murders
galore. The Green River murder was finally caught around the time I
arrived in these parts. People still do not ask you to visit their
homes – a once left dweller from Tribeca – where, “let's go to
my loft” was a natural – has been asked to visit two homes in 20
years. Meanwhile, the once so gregarious, however, is all work.</span></b></span></span><br />

I used to be too at one time in a different line of work in New York - amazing the monsters you find yourself working for or with or encountering, and that is in book publishing! What if you dug as deeply into the life of a two-faced ambitious beast like Gail Tarelton, or Commissioner Bryant? Is the Times really bothered by the current Port C.E.O.s two timing conflict of interest?<br /><br />What a peculiar crucible the Port Commission is - jumping off point to other elective offices, with pay of $ 500 a month - the proposal to pay a commissioner in terms of the workload that being a real overseeing commissioner entails seems to have gotten nowhere. What a sacrifice it is to be a commmisioner these days, not so of course at the time that the Port Commisio was whelped, 100 or is it a 1000 years ago.<br /><br />The Port Commission elections indicate to me the invasion of the nastiness of national politics, and its whys and wherefore into local politics.<br /><br />Bring back the bad old days I say, when the best commissioner in decades, Alec Fisken, was defeated by business supported Bryant, and a fine Republican like Bob Edwards was done in by Tarelton - all under the attack rubric "throw the rascals out", which is never sufficiently honest to proclaim, "for the sake of the new rascals".</span></big></b></span></div>

<b><big><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: lime; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> The interview that the piece cites, was conducted via e-mail, yet Heffer has Holland "tearing up." Holland evidently wouldnt have been in a bit of a financial mess if his 30 hours a week at the Port had been embursed, say, at the rate of a mid-level civil servant. I found Holland to be overly well intentioned and a bit wet behind the ears, and his election as well as those of Gail Tarleton and Bob Bryant (see anon), for my money, prove the point made among the comments here that the voters are ill-equipped to chose Port Commissioners - but why are they ill equipped? Because the Fifth Estate does such a superb job of vetting them and of keeping tabs on the way the Port is run, that is my derisive conclusion based now on near twenty years in Seattle, City of Banana slugs where critical mental activity has never managed to speed them up to be, what?, water striders? Yet think of themselves as hip, why, because they drink latte's first thing in the morning. Caffeine no matter how well served will never do the trick.<br /><br /> To hold his early dislike of affirmative action against Holland - I don't know, but affirmative action as well as busing are not just insults to the affirmed and transported, but declaration of what a hideous country the U.S. of A. is historically in so many ways that those practical means had to be devised to redress some balances.<br /><br />At about the time, eight years ago, that, for reasons of personal acquaintance with a series of candidates, I took a gander at the Port of Seattle, it then devolved that Tim Eyemann's initiative to have Brian Sontag do an audit resulted in the finding of what was it, a 100 million dollar problem? Now, my New York City sharpened and not yet again sleepy-headed nose was not surprised that the so nepotistically administered Port was found seriously wanting, and that that very formidable executive Mic Dinsmore then resigned, and his chief backer among the commissioners, Pat Davis, clever girl, then followed suit. However, the two candidates who ran on a reform platform, Tartleton and Bryant, have turned out to be anything but. Two-faced Tartleton near instantly was in the bag of the administration, ditto for Bryant; and best to my estimate, defeated the best commissioner I met during my watch, Alec Fisken, and a Bob Edwards, the kind of Republican I happen to like. Best as I could tell, with the kind of money then invested in running for these obscure position that election had a bit of the feel of the sulphur of the national kind.<br /><br />I entirely agree that the State of Washington needs a State Port Commission that ought to<br />first decide where what is shipped out of and into most efficiently and fairly. Since I happened to drive up the coast back in June 1994 and sought to find a place to eat in Hoquiam Grey's Harbor on a Sunday eve, I got a memorable whiff of a very depressed area, and would not want it to be neglected in the process.<a href="http://cityofhoquiam.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://cityofhoquiam.com/</a><br /><br />I could go on at some further length, but do so in my letter to Westneat at<br /><a href="http://seattle-vistas.blogspot.com/2013/02/open-letter-to-seattle-times-re.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://seattle-vistas.<wbr></wbr>blogspot.com/2013/02/open-<wbr></wbr>letter-to-seattle-times-re.<wbr></wbr>html</a></span></span></big></b><br />

<br />
<b><big>provides the history of the Post Intelligencer,
which became<br />
a Hearst Paper in 1921. The global reach the globe
was meant to signify with its design<br />
certainly is Hearstian, the man who contributed so
much to starting<br />
the Spanish American war during which Puerto Rico
and the Phillipines<br />
changed colonial masters and brought low wage
Phillipine labor to <br />
Seattle. <br />
<br />
I lived opposite the sign on Elliott Avenue during
my first three months<br />
in Seattle in Summer 1994 and much liked looking at
it from the hugely<br />
timbered mezzanined loft that I shared with probably
the toughest l'il hippie ever<br />
to raise hell in Seattle, whom I had met, all cooled
out, in a date palm<br />
forest in Mexico, on a trial run with a 5 ton truck,
his elephant, with which<br />
he was planning to plough all the way to Patagonia,
an imperialist of sorts<br />
too... and from Myrtle Edwards Park... I appreciated
the Globe's incongruity, it<br />
had a kind of fairy tale touch sitting there, an
eagle that had<br />
gobbled up too much and now sat there with the fruit
of its vulture instincts.<br />
I'd probably vote to keep it in place I say not
being familiar with<br />
its original home. The sculpture park? I would say
no - those are all self-conscious<br />
pieces of art. The P.I. Globe is sort of accidental
pop art - and a museum<br />
for them might be fitting. Perhaps on top of one of
the three Cargill grain<br />
elevators? Although the Cargill corporation might be
persuaded to design<br />
a piece of its own, Port Commisioners!, perhaps in
honor of the geese that gobble the grain that<br />
spills on the tracks there! The globe ought to have
affixed to it on a very<br />
legible plaque the paper's history. As a paper, like
all Hearst papers, the P.I.<br />
of course was never of much reknown except locally,
and in that respect indicates an affinity with
Rainier beer, the signs are superior to the
signified.<br />

<b><big>Althought Mossback does not
seem to recognize the Central Distric as a neighborhood,
perhaps what with it being gentrified out of existence, he
appears to have touched a handful of nerves. Among the
commenters are those who would prefer Seattle to be like old
time Malmoe, some like the kind where everthing was fine and
you could kiss the cop on the beat - that is, there exists a
recollection of the kind of city this has never been since its
very rough beginning. The pastorals I call them. They are
pastorlists because they lived in what used to be the suburbs
which, meanwhile, have been absorbed, sort of, against their
resistance, into the city proper - which yet in its very own
way - in some respects like L.A. but unlike Chicago, New York,
Atlanta - lacks a real center. Thus you have a whole variety
of deeply provincial neighborhoods that are gradually
decimated as the city becomes a real city. Meanwhile a whole
new set of suburbs surrounds the city proper. How much
"pumping" Mossback's neighborhoods actually do, and where that
"pumping" becomes evident, and what is "pumped," Mossback's
rhetoric fails to specifiy. I would say what emanates, rather
than pumps, is provinciality - and of a kind that you find in
the largest of real cities. Paris, Walter Benjamin, declared
as the capital of the 19th century - because he liked to walk,
stroll in cities, because he was a flaneur, a dreamer in a
cityscape, a sexy experience, as compared to a country walker.
Yet what was Montparnasse not all that long ago with it Moulin
Rouge? That then turned into a dance hall.<br />
What venues might fit that description in Seattle, with the
kind of mix that pleases a flaneur? Broadway on Capital Hill
for a stretch. A gay neighborhood with lots of signs of it
there.<br />
Westlake Center. The Ave in the University district come to
mind. The surround of Pike Street Market. Perhaps a few blocks
on top of Queen Anne. The Seattle Center area has
possibilities.<br />
These are promiscuous busy places that are NOT neighborhoods!
What do the NEIGHBORHOODS feed into them, anything
distinctively neighborly? One could maintain that the
International Disrict is a city unto itself - if it were not
but for its Japanese component never having recovered from that
paroxysm of provincial paranoid misapprehension after Pear
Harbor - the few gruff Japanese American shoemakers and
busdrivers stick out among the masses of Chinese, Vietnames
and Thai Americans. </big></b><br />

Its only straight lines are a canal, the estuary of Ravenna creek which goes underground as it leaves Ravenna Park at 55th Street and 25th Avenue N.E., resurfaces at 45th St. N.E. and eventuates in Lake Washington to the south east; and a road on the prairie's northern edge, a short cut from Laurelhurst, past a golf driving range, to a major thoroughfare.</div>

The “reconstituting prairie” used to be a peat bog for thousands of years, sometimes under water, sometimes not, until Seattle built the Ship Canal in 1916 from Lake Washington through Lake Union all they way to the Shilshole Bay part of Puget Sound five miles to the west, lowering the level of Lake Washington by nine feet. Ten years later, the now completely exposed peat bog became Seattle’s public dumping ground for half a century — one reason why, for all intents and purposes, "Wakkakium Prairie" as it is now called as part of the Lake Union Natural Area, is still a superfund site, with quite a few pipes venting methane from the combusting crap underneath.

My first 4th of July in the city of Chief Sealth I had too much of a cold to join the toughest of hippies, Jerry Belt, on his trip to Ken Kesey's farm in Oregon, for a true hippie conclave. I tried to rid myself of the cold by walking from his huge big-beamed loft opposite the P.I. Building near Myrtle Evans Park all the way to West Seattle. About midway, near Pioneer Square, I talked back to some crows squawking at me, and I either said the wrong thing or was misunderstood, for they decided to pursue me, and did so for many blocks. i didn't shake them until i took a route through a shed by the waterside... Since then I have acquire hordes of crow as friends, I feed them, they have never fed me, even when I imitate one of their obnoxious babies that make demands of their parents even as yearlings - ultimately the parents always succumb to these imprecations - however, they look seriously puzzled at me at when I do my imitation of crying starving baby crow! As I would if one of them suddenly became a Mina bird and started cussing me in human language. Geese, too, have neither disappointed nor bitten, the two great horned owls on a midnight moon are beloved, ducks are amazingly trusting... how come what with all other feathered friends so skittish? My sparrow hordes are fed in the morning. Robins and I wake at the same time come Spring. Grackles swarm. Swifts above meadows and ponds are invariably swift.<br />
<br />
Jerry became a bit of a disappointment because he never managed to drive his "Elephant" - a <i>Bundeswehr</i> 911 telecommunications 5 ton truck with aluminum shoulders [to fierce the jungle] all the way to Patagonia. We met during his trial run, in a date palm forest in Mulege, B.C.S. He had the Benz Barn on Queen Anne a dog's life ago - now he is repairing Benzes for the well-heeled of Santa Fe, N.M. His lowdown on some aspects of Seattle was heads-up. A minor disappointment only.<br />
<br />
The thief Roger Downey... of translations... of Alfred Kerr reviews...who would catch him at off at this in this northwestern far-off nook [?], one of the first persons I called to check on his wherewithals became a major disappointment, but not as a theater reviewer where he had national possibilities had he not been a gourmet, the big gay butch picker of precious morsels, who had a diabetes attack at the prospect of encountering Carl Weber at the Heiner Mueller memorial, initiated by me and seconded by him. </big></big></big></b></span><b><big><span style="font-family: Courier New;"><big><big>There are no reviewers of note now, although I thought Annie at the Stranger had possibilities if she left Seattle for a while, ditto for Brendan there.

Kurt Beattie looked as though he might be a live one... Seattle's own KASPAR! No doubt he will die longing to have done Brecht's MOTHER COURAGE. I took him up on that - but it was just another bluff. And not as a cabaret piece as which both Pearson and Tony Kutcher then did it... The US of A will turn the largest tragedy into cabaret. If it says "directed by Kurt Beattie" avoid its square rigging like the plague, "false promises", forever provincial or he would no longer be here.<br />
<br />
Arne Zaslove, too, is a disappointment, it turned out that Arne does not read; and grandiosity made him lose the Bath House theatre. But at least he has my sense of humor.<br />

Burke Walker as a director was anything but a disappointment!A shame his being let go by the School of Drama and their giving nitwit Sarah Bataille tenure!<br />
<br />
Scratch any scab and the provincialism will pop out... every small group, the geese are more far ranging than, say, the Wild Goose Players. Seattlelites have gained at least a pound a year since I arrived the fine summer of 1994... some by two pounds per year, and a lot even three... Imagine all that fat accumulating also in brains... Many are so fat they cannot walk any more. Even Asian-Americans now feed their mouths all day long. The civility is entirely superficial and cannot cover the falseness...I could go on with personal disappointments... the personal fortunate encounters are so few, but then so rare and special, that they shall remain nameless. You know who you are, you suffer me and see what's good in me, or bring it out.</big></big></span></big></b><b><big><span style="font-family: Courier New;"><big><big><br />

The papers proved their usual disappointment, the <u>Stranger<br />
<small><a href="http://www.thestranger.com/" target="_blank">http://www.thestranger.com/</a></small><br />
</u>as the best of the weeklies proved the exception in matters local politics. Udderwise... I tire of its fuck this and fuck that rather quickly. Brewster/ Mossback's Crosscut <small><a href="http://crosscut.com/" target="_blank">http://crosscut.com/</a></small> is a sorry piece of work, it neither cuts nor is it the cross section of anything but of a certain dangerously innocuous local conservatism. And they are individually just as disappointing. At Downey's suggestion I send Mossback my rather new journalism WRITE SOME NUMB'S BITCH which derives from an experience that gave this skeleton finder the lowdown on Seattle early on - he lacks the courtesy to say it is not for him. At least friend Jim Krusoe understands what I am doing. At <u>Crosscut's</u> start-up I send Brewster some prose poems about the weather and my feathered friends from STEEPED IN SEATTLE - betters such a John Felstiner, Charlotte Chalker, and Heather McHugh are complimentary - Brewster lacks the manners to say no. They lack manners. But they keep channeling miseries such as that utter bore Joel Connelly, and basically hard-core Neo-Con David Brooks.<br />

<br />
However, I wrote this not for the above iteration, not all that unexceptional disappointments, during the wear and tear of life, but for a truly exceptional event, even now it takes me breath.<br />
<br />
I met Jack Jolley in the course of being one of Dan Becraft's seconds during his campaign for Port Commissioner in 2004. With CitiCorp prohibiting its employees from holding public office - isn't that illegal? - and Dan dropping out instead of dropping his well-heeled job that had made him a millionaire at about age 30, I was in the sauna with him that day, I transferred to Jack, a strapping athletic multi-millionaire courtesy initially of bond trading in<br />
New York and London. Jack was in the run-off with that smart corrupt lady Pat Davis, commissioner for life... As Jack acknowledged at our post mortem lunch at Rice and Spice, putting 50 k into radio and t.v. advertising the last week pointing out the lady's vulnerabilities might easily have erased the one point with which she squeaked.<br />
<br />
During the campaign there was a joint candidates presentation at the civic club downtown, that was the first moment it occurred to me that maybe Jack was a bit daft. Dan Becraft kept mentioning it. I had alerted Jack I would toss him a softball during the question part of the presentation, it was: "What would you, as commissioner, do to increase Port Traffic?" Jack said, "ship loads of wine..." Maybe one ship load can be exported, wine in south-east Washington State is not like wheat or apples. I had apprised Jack to bone up on railway traffic and how it meshed with traffic at ports along the West Coast. That answer may have cost him that extra point.<br />
<br />
Jack and I, however, then became friends and had lunch once a month at fine very cheap Thai, Vietnamese or Latino eateries; we must have explored four score over the course of the years, and when my laptop broke and I didn't have the thousand bucks to replace it, Jack lent me the money. And we attended the few good shows, Bart Sher disappointed only once,with the soft-headed NEMESI. Stephen Wadsworth is first rate, no in New York. Although Jack had crunched numb's<br />
all his life, he was good company at the plays, he was responding, he was touched. I've had lots worse company for lunch and play going, say that case of cases Sam McClean. Jack belongs to a reading club. If only all other self-made millionaires who have a condo in the Cabos, but never even go to La Paz, were that venturesome! <br />
<br />
What in a few month will be three winters ago I nearly killed myself doing an honest job of turning what had been the outline for a documentary, based on my book WRITE SOME NUMB'S, BITCH!, aborted around 2000 when its protagonist had to split town after being indicted... into an imagined screenplay, it would have been so easy to just do a pseudo documentary. Learned a lot doing so, George Malko was a patient responder although he did not understand what I was after, Once done I started sending it around, that was about the time my ancient agent for these things Robert Lantz died of pneumonia at the age of 90. Among other inquiries, I also made one of Jack whether he happened to know any local film makers, and lo and behold he did, a Chris, or Kris. So I sent both of them the screenplay. After a week or so Kris got back to us<br />
not with a positive or negative take on the screenplay, but with the question, to Jack, about his interest in the project.<br />
<br />
Here it comes, the flabbergaster, the Fibbermaggie and Molly McGuire, Jack Jolley's response: "I own it."...<br />
<br />
I thought, "am I reading this right?" - I had been looking for a film maker and seemed to be owned by a producer, or a bond trader, was I a bond, whereas the only producer I had sent the screenplay to was the estimable Chris Sievernich [the early Wim Wender films, KINO USA, Armada Pictures], who actually became really interested when he heard of Jack's interest, his ownership, producers are always seeking to lay off some of the risk.<br />
<br />
What if I already had a producer? Jack didn't even bother to ask. Wasn't it criminal to make such a claim? What was Jack doing - well, he sure must like the screenplay, but I wished that he'd have let me know in advance. As it turns out, Jack Jolley never read the screenplay, even after we had lunch and he proposed buying an option for $ 6 K and I was in the process of drawing it up Jack asked for the screenplay which by then he had had for several months. He had evidently pressed delete when I sent it to him and Kris. Now he wanted to read what he had bought. Nor did I ever hear from Kris who was only looking for someone to possibly back another film. So what was this? Jack as bond trader investor had made a peremptory take-out bid, he had sold me short, now he needed to cover himself. Perhaps he thought Kris wanted it and he wanted to get in on the action. I never heard from Kris whether he had even read it - Jack had put a little money into Kris's one film - and had never looked at it! Philistinism to the <u><i>nth</i></u> power. I send Jack our option agreement, and then make one codicil about my ability to buy it back if within five<br />
years he had not done anything about the project. And thereupon Jack, who had not responded to my draft agreement... Jack pulled out, actually doing real <i>damage</i> to the project! Which finally seems to have found the right producer - I had a great British, the perfect director liking it nearly right away, but he was tied up with his own project for five years. So much for Uncle Sam owning the world! I decide never to have anything to do with Jack again, but we encountered each other at Zokas, and I am always willing to make up, even with the daft, because that is probably all it was. The world of bond and stock trading encountering another world. But it certainly is a memorable event, a one of a kind.<br />
<br />
Some friends at Tully's introduce me to a film maker, Psychoceramic Bob, whose first words are that he is a speed reader, just what I need in my life who has spent a year reading Handke's CROSSING THE DEL GREDOS, a 350 K book, slowly, at the pace its magicking demands, three times,<br />
and who doesn't even respond to the precis of the treatment, but tells me his tales of woe... I see him writing dialogue for screenplays on large scale pads at coffee houses.<br />
<br />
A small time film director who conducted the first reading of my translation of Dorst's FERNANDO KRAPP WROTE ME THIS LETTER, also lacks the courtesy to respond. KRAPP becomes the last play the AHA theater puts on - due to entirely moronic reviews, of a simple enough parable, that is a staple of continental theater. <br />
<br />
My local chapter of the Freudians, SPSI,<br />
<a href="http://www.spsi.org/" target="_blank">http://www.spsi.org/</a><br />
is solid, the Kleinians here look to me like a cult. Not a one I would recommend there except Shierry Weber Nicholson for artists. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile I am at Starbuck's it is nearing midnight,the obese have left and those who only stare at their IPhones, the newest hoola-hoop, the jazz has come on, the students are at work, a certain magic sets in. But I have read this over once more the following morning.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;">I already shared with David my long letter to the departing President Emmert, regarding the nefarious Sarah Nash Gates, which you can also find at my Seattle Vista’s blogspot, Arne thought it one of my better rants:</span></b></big></span></big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="color: black;"><br />

</big></span> </big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; color: black;">That letter also touches on my curious involvement with thief Roger Downey in matters artistic, so I won’t need to get into all that except the mention that Roger in the later 90s, after Duff Wilson had not gotten anywhere with the powers that be at the Seattle Times in his following up a truly complete set of leads of mine and turning a very new journalism book, WRITE SOME NUMB’S, BITCH! [This was how the promoter for the Seattle Police Department’s then annual circus addressed his salesmen, Troy Emerson, an ex-prize fighter who had the looks of a blonde Jackie Robinson, and cut-lines, as he dicked them with his near permanent hard-on, fists full of hundred dollar bills in both fists, smell these, Sergeant Casey was the S.P.D. Circus Chairman, and his k-9 Beethoven, I kid thee not] into a more regular kind of journalism, Roger suggested I submit the m.s. to Mossback at the Weekly, and Roger also warned me to make sure that Rick Anderson would not see it, and my covering letter was to that effect, since Anderson allegedly [Roger] stole no end of ideas; one thief knowing another I suppose. And I never even heard back from Mossback. Perhaps duplicitous devious Downey than cut me down at the Weekly, would not put it past him. He would then be like Sarah Nash Gates who was the subject of my letter to President Emmert, who meanwhile has commiserated with me and appreciated my joke about the language requirements for NCAA athletes that he would institute. Anyhow, how long does it take to say “no thank you?” Ah, Seattle the so polite that…</span></b></big></span></big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><br />

Rick Anderson was on my shit list as of the day I set foot in this city because one of the first things I read was his vendetta against the then Seahawks owner, because that man had an extra-marital affair, a term that has endeared itself to me because it implies that the state of marriage is an on-going affair. If only they were… How many fewer fat people there would be around… during my fifteen years here Seattleites have all got at least 15 pounds heavier, and I skinnier and meaner.</span></b></big></span></big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; color: black;">More on that and the book later on, and at the end I attach the intro to it, <u>Introduction to Telelingo</u>, a rather famous piece itself by now, and one of the sketches, the one on <u>Billie, the clever Ferret </u>might prove amusing.

</big></span> </big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; color: black;">Briefly, on the topic of “benefit accrual” if one joins the Cross Section of Dead Trees crowd, what might these benefits really be? Might I then with the so painfully other-directed Ms. Flores who wrote rather nicely about the Franzen lecture be part another upwardly mobile other directed generation??? Might we hook up with each other? Not that I have not much liked many of Mossback things when the moss was still green at the Weekly, but ever since you chaps cashed out… at least the Weekly has gotten a lot worse, and Crosscut never links to the only lively rag going, <u>The Stranger</u>, well, maybe once in a blue moon. I wonder why what with linking to every treacle from David Brooks and Joel Connelly and Ross Douthout ][sp?].</span></b></big></span></big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><br />
</big></span> </big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; color: black;">But let me get to what happened when you started up Cross of Dross. I sent you some long poems about the local birds and the local weather from my book</span></b><b> <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% aqua;">"Steeped in Seattle [Better than in old Teabag anyhoo..]</span>" <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; color: black;">Linda had liked it well enough to recommend it to her editor at the UW Press; John Felstiner, the Celan expert and translator, recommended it to Copper Canyon; Heather McHugh took a fancy to them, whom I came to know over another matter, and we were friends until I fell in love with her because of one or several of her poems, certainly not her barn door looks, that’s me, usually good poetesses laugh it off, and then I laugh at myself for being such a deep down beauty addict, but since I had already realized that Heather was an old-fashioned doormat masochist, her lack of humor did not surprise me. From David Brewster, who wanks on about the arts and farts</span> <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; color: black;">in Seattle… - sometimes not uninterestingly from the establishment point of view, oh so high-minded, as soon as art is presented by an establishment it is dead, except for kids who experience it -</span> <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; color: black;">nary an acknowledgment. And I’d rather… than shake your hand who first came to my notice when he tried to get Roger Downey banned from reviewing plays at A.C.T. because David’s wife was on the board, little good that has done for artistry in the theater.</span></b></big></span></big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><br />
</big></span> </big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; color: black;">Now back to NUMB’S BITCH, what you all missed would have set many parts of this town on its ears, the variety of police unions, especially their boards, many businesses, thus early on I got a very good several years every evening four hour shift look, or rather, earful of the extensive underbelly of Seattle and surround. I worked with Mary Ann Hagerty-Shaw of the A.G.’s office, a first rate employee then of our now Governor; with the Secretary of States’ exellent head of the Charities Division. Talking about authenticity, something that David mumbles on about so authentically. Astonishing the look I got at Seattle from that vantage point and some of the Aurora Avenue look it provided. The saga continued at about the book was being completed – it is so new journalism because it was written on the run or on the mouth – with ny finding someone who wanted to do a documentary about the whole business, and Troy, a showoff in his shorts, his Panamanian-German wife Maria and their two kids and Pugs crawling around the telemarketing office, a red mustang couldn’t wait to show off before a camera… But friend Marie Hagerty Shaw indicted him the second time he came to town to sell the Gatti Circus for the S.P.D…. and about the time were about to film… he had to scoot out of town. But at least it had been a good payday for me. I didn’t do anything with the script for the documentary until nearly three years ago, when I needed a good hunk of cash to get a new set of chompers… and I thought it would be really easy to turn the outline of a documentary into films scripts. What a delusion: to turn a documenatary into a scrip that has the same truth value…. Turned out to take me about six month, and nearly killed me the winter of 2008/9. But I also got a really good Brechtian play out of it,</span></b></big></span></big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; color: black;"> which plays with the idea of how to create truthfulness in a film. Through friend Jack Jolley I heard of a Seattle film maker whose work Jack had once backed, and when that film maker asked Jack what his interest in my project was, Jack said “I own it.”</span></b></big></span></big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><br />
</big></span> </big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; color: black;">I met Jack through my involvement in the Port Commissioners campaign in 2004. First I’d become an advisor to Dan Becraft, a self-made millionaire from the most unlikely abbatoir in Marysville, whom CitiCorp then wouldn’t let run, but through him I’d got to know the Democratic Central Committee and Suzie Sheary, the heart of the party that has to sell sandwiches at the Labor Temple because the rich candidates…. And if Jack had had the good sense to toss $ 50,000 into a last minute media blitz I expect Pat Davis who I first thought had been one of my Stanford Students, the clever sleaze bag would have been out one election cycle sooner. After the gander I got into the Port of Seattle during that campaign and afterwards I was not in the least surprised that Brian Sonntag’s Tim Eyeman initiated audit produced the results it did. But compared to the total corruption of the political class in NY, Seattle is a lot cleaner, perhaps because there is less opportunity. In New York City, Calcutta on the Hudson, the city of thieves, the political class is a reflection of the electorate. Then I did a really nice long interview with Mic Dinsmore who brought along his minder, a Mr. Schaefer to Rice and Spice… but no one wanted it. And I do really good interview, treat you like a king, allow you to see the transcript and edit it, I have interviewed Nobel Prize winners, also published four and translated it will be three when Peter Handke wins in a year or two. And eventually Pat Davis didn't run again, and Alec Fisken, as fine a person as I have met in Seattle,<br />
was defeated by a sleaze name Ryan under the banner of throw the rascals out, etc.<br />

</big></span> </big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;">Like any subculture, T.M. has a lingo of its own, and it makes its very own contribution to "the language." As a purely electronic undertaking, T. M., however, reduces its operatives as well as those it operates upon to ciphers, and perhaps for that reason alone T.M.'s linguistic contribution is cipherous as compared to that of any real trade or an industry that grew out of a trade or craft. You need not think of anything as ancient as the fishing industry, which only became an industry with the advent of the steam engine -- merely consider the automobile industry and the multifarious additions, referential and metaphorical, that it has made to the languages of the entire world: the Mexican "yardero" for a big American cars that you bought by the yard, either from a junk yard or to be junked in a yard shortly after being subjected to Mexican abuse and neglect; the Mexican "moffles” being the transubstantiation of "muffler." -- Compared to either fishing, say, or the automobile industry tele-marketing, which with the advent of predictive [that is, “automated”] dialing reached is maturity some twenty years ago, is merely a wrinkle, an off-shoot of marketing, of selling. It is built entirely around and on tele-communication, and its usages do little else but add a wrinkle or a double-entendre to an already widely used word. </span></b></big></span></big></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;">The "badge deal" aspect of telemarketing depends upon the wizardry of some fine sleight of voice artists, many of them criminal or living in that gray zone between the alleged legitimacies and illegitimacies, certainly in a zone of comparative financial impotence, and you would expect such wizards also to be verbally more inventive -- but there is little to invent in as materially and experientially poverty-stricken a domain</span></b></big></span></big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"> as telemarketing.

Coles is based on the census, and it ranks households by income. There can be a real confusion between Cold calling and Cole calling. With Coles you know the name, have the address and neighborhood, and have a hunch of how much that name can afford, with absolute cold calling you are flying blind. When cold-calling you concentrate your telemarketing efforts on a single neighborhood; four-digit suffixes tend to be geographically concentrated; and some operations have hawks cruising populated four digit regions to do near instantaneous pickups of checks and to drop off the receipt for whatever lie has been bought. Absolute zero cold-calling is cold in every universal 451 below Fahrenheit respect: the potential customer is as nameless and frigid as a corpse that is washed down a glacial stream, and the telemarketer who tries to warm up that body to buy whatever is just as anonymous or pseudonymous and frigid, no matter his or her siren song, as the coldest intergalactic traveler.</span></b></big></span></big></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;">The crudest but by no means least profitable absolute ice-cold-calling is done from permutation lists.

In that manner the frighteningly cold anonymities are sorted into potentially warm and acquisitive customers, fax and answering machines, businesses, domiciles, disconnected numbers, and the rigid finger of the systematic, electronic centipede does so from pre-printed lists or from electronically encoded disks. A successfully permutated list is color-coded during the course of the cold caller's hunt, and such a completed list can be as pretty if not more so than the most ancient tablets and than many forms of abstract art. The accidental conjunctions of blacks and reds and green mixed in with those many other day glow shades that highlight bring these finished lists into a somewhat systematized direction of Jackson Pollack’s work, or as thumbnail sketches for Rothko’s to come. It all depends on how you look at one such product, whether you know that it is the result not of aesthetic considerations but of one or of several marketers' labor, and of course it depends on what color ink the telemarketers who "work" that list employed.</span></b></big></span></big></div><div class="MsoNormal"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"> Once a team of telemarketers has beaten the last fax machine, and the last dead-beat out of just one of the many sheets that make up one of these prefixes, what remains are small white rectangular that then, courtesy of yellow highlighter, are turned into what are known as "gold taps" -- the idea being that all chaff has been eliminated and that there are real live potential customer at the end of a "gold tap" once you reach it -- the telemarketer’s Eldora do. Once sorted into the living and the dead, such a sheet’s leftover nuggets, as to be expected, is expressed in the sublime anal form of the expression "gold lists."

E.g.: "This list has not been duped out" = it has not been double checked.

<div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; line-height: 150%;">As I would learn, t'was essential to your success as a purveyor of "badge pledges" never, if at all possible, to identify your affiliation to the client for whom you were calling, on the messages that you left, especially that you were calling for the cops, not that is until the last moment: the business folk sensed an arm-twisting in the making and would never call you back. Being polite, they only called back if they thought there was a business proposition attached to that name that their secretary gave them or that they heard on their voice mail. "A Bob Able called." "What's he want?" "He wouldn't say." It was a telephone hold up, a blind-siding. "Once a year we call..." And once you had the mark on line, you would do all you could not to let it get off the line, you kept the fish hooked for dear life, you gave it no more than the requisite slack as you, grudging-obligingly, allowed your potential catch to, preferably, find the exact amount they could swim with happily thereafter on her or his own. You started with a full page ad, or if you were milking a steady supporter to a similar amount to last year's, you might say "You've given anywhere between 50 and 250 dollars during the past years" and ever so gradually allow yourself to be worked down into the standard abyss of the [appr. $ 125.00 to $ 175.00] business card sale, and occasionally, especially if you were “Rocky,” manage to get him to go up. - I once overheard Bill extract five dollars from someone whose firm was going bankrupt and whose wife had just divorced him, persistence I shared except not in that particular realm. And so Bill kept pointing out to me over and over that "I didn't get it,” or that "I still didn't get it." True enough: I refused to "get it" - I wanted the bleeding K.C.P.U. to do what we said they'd do, I wanted them to spend their share of the money that we raised for them on something approximating what they claimed they were doing. I was a "supporter of causes" from way back, that kind of jerk, and I hated Bill's awful truth that telemarketing badge deals had the sole purpose of keeping the tele-marketer in disposable untaxed cash, the better the telemarketer did, so might the however legitimate 10 % client. From sly Bill I learned the photogenic detail of always keeping your telephone cord wrapped around your arm, so that if you stepped away from the telephone the cord would unhook the receiver and alert Pavlov to make another call to support his hungry family, except that Bill did not have a family, he merely had one or the other hungry habit: it was a detail worthy of <i>Glengarry Glenn Ross</i>. No one had the Zen of the scam better down than Bill who claimed he could have gotten into Harvard hadn't it been that the University of Houston's golf program had been his yen; if he hadn't developed arthritic phenomena in the soggy Northwest he might be that kind of pro. It sounded as though he'd had the talent and the smarts. “Rocky” might be crude and extortionist and threatening or sometimes ["I'm just an old guy"] charming in his wonderful, hateful, dwarfish, pit bull way; Mike Mailor invariably utterly professional and serious, and in obvious need what with child support; the cackling alcoholic crackhead ex-Marine Ron Badger, the most successful of the lot, the best "writer," the most straight-forward and convincing on the phone, but Bill - reputed, enviously, never to have made a cold sale, and to be living off other's hard-earned talent, and certainly never sharing anything with anyone - had his way of ensuring that the sucker would feel good about parting with his funds: that was the art, to give once a year to that once a year call, to be left under the impression that you were supporting a worthwhile endeavor, for the "thank you" to register resoundingly... "Once a year we call..." My sweet aging ass! If you were on Cain+Able / Support Service’s computer you would be called at least twice for each of their deals and that meant a minimum of six calls a year! And from a pool of Irish sounding names: the various Ables, “Rocky” at the Police Guild metamorphosed into Tim McCullough, an ex-King County sheriff of ill repute, at Cain+Able he had been Jim McLeary for cops and I forgot what for the Fire Fighters, Bill, Bob, John, Jim, innocuous, interchangeable first names were preferred, Hansens, Joneses, Johnsons, Smiths and Wilsons proliferated, Mailor turned into McGrath or McGraff, and I promoted him to detective-sergeant when I took a call on the call-back line for him. Bill Able, I concluded, would be a jewel to any worthwhile charitable drive, his voice transmitted a gravely, soft sandpaper intensity, if only also for his congested nasal passages. His "heartfelt thanks" [from the bottom of his ice-cold Barry Goldwater heart], the promised delivery of the "original" of the invoice [signed by "Leonardo da Vinci" himself] subsequent to the [of course!] immediately faxed copy for the preferred next day "pick" of the promised check, his pitch, too was worth recording for posterity, and certain proof that the suckers would not inherit the world. - Bill made up his rates as he went along, you could not quarrel with his assessment that most of the companies he approached were cash rich, the waste of cash was written all over them, it was a question of diverting some of it your way, and incidentally, to the client. Bill, as a day pro he called himself Bob, using his brother's name, both hailed from a part of Connecticut where when folks pick up the telephone at night they ask: "Cops or fire? 25 bucks, but don't dare you come pick it tonite." Like the owners of most of these deals, legal and illegal and inbetween, he and his brother boss were from out of town, like promoters of all kinds they all wore their kind of stylish clothes, in the case of Cain and the Able brothers suave soft leather jackets, well worn, or variously decaled or expensive shirtless sweaters, and casually drove Beamers [B.M.W.]; in the case of Hector, high grunge punk, clean jeans, and derive from the characterology of David Mamet's <i>Glengarry Glen Ross</i> ["First prize is a Cadillac, second prize a set of steak knives."] Cain and Able, who had made their nut, did not seem driven by excessively unslakeable greed, cruise control was their speed, the Beamer was meant to stay well tuned, as compared to a fellow like the somewhat discombobulated dumbed-out semi-sharpie Hector and his City of Troy promotions, who was benumbedly awash in a sea of cash that in the form of wads of one hundred dollar bills he kept sticking before his sales folks noses, but greedy for more, and driven, but unknowing as to what purpose, or "the Reverend" who took the faux-modest tack of "we don't want to get rich, I want to do a little good and make a little money, too" while he stole from his own sales folk. Like those who ran their subsidiary offices around the country, they were from the East Coast New York, Connecticut, Atlantic City, Hector was from Madison, Wisconsin where his father had done the same thing for the local police guild, and from Chicago, and having an easy time of it with the dolts of the North West. Ely the Scam, I hear, was an army brat, an adjustable smart-ass like Newt Gingrich. From one P.X. to the other, I wondered whether Roman outposts had been like that. Save for the unhappy disadvantage of the fact that Bill got himself all the "taps" that were still warm [of proven givers who were potentially still giving] from previous sales, you could make of a Cain+Able/Able Company Services badge deal what you wanted, you could warm up as many stiffs as you liked, develop your own ideas, there was gold in them thar hills and a bit of gold dust among the stingy. But a Seattle Fire Fighter depending on the good will of the businesses of Seattle, as compared to that of its inhabitants would not do well re-establishing their relief funds if their social safety net should disappear. Bill's habit of getting himself, and sitting on, most of and the best taps did not endear him to the rest of the day men, it justifiably struck them as an instance of unfair and ultimately counter-productive nepotism. Don Cain, Bob Able's partner in Cain+Able, took seriously these complaints of the other day men and, during an x-mas break, cleaned out Bill’s desk. Without the least warning. Yet the only thing that seriously chagrined Bill about this untoward turn of events was that Don had also tossed some personal belongings of his, or had messed with them. It took Bill about a week to re-assemble his treasure trove. The stacks of computer generated three by five inch white 60-pound paper taps did not spare one single cubic millimeter of the various drawers of his desk. When Bill moved to his brother's Kent office, which fleeced the inhabitants of the South County not only for the King County Police Union but also for the Auburn and Kent Police Officers Association and Guild, Bill left his largesse spread out across three desks at the new Able Company Support Services room, and had Sabrina print out for him a brand new set of the thousands upon thousands of Cain+Able/ S.S.'s business taps. Having listened in on Bill, for some weeks, in the Cain+Able back-room [before Don disconnected the phones there and it turned into the Motel Cain+Able flop house] I kept being amazed at the seductiveness and persistence of Bill's spiel, who however preferred the by no means easy, definitely hard-earned, unregistered money of a commission man for a socially more productive enterprise, unless you regard, as you may and perhaps ought to regard, as being of inordinate overall benefit the employment of students and street people, of tinkerers and drifters and the down and out, and the purveyance of feel-good to the populace, and conviction to a goodly number of business folk that they were supporting a just cause in supporting the pseudo-police union K.C.P.U.'s various socially redemptive endeavors of "fighting" domestic violence, gangs, drug abuse, child neglect, of instituting community policing. Receiving a call back, Bill dragged the call back line, that and its fifty foot cord was located in the great vastness outside the day men's cubicles, into the flop house; he did not want to be interrupted, wanted to be free of the background noise and jokes, he wanted to have the victim, like a corpse, like a beloved, all to himself, for the fleecing and the devouring, and the intense expression that his handsome Ferret face assumed at those many times was reminiscent of that of a thief at work, a safe cracker whose laser was his voice; a kind of sexual excitement seemed to overcome him during the act of relieving the victim's pocket book checking account ["with all due respect"] of the highest possible amount; and Bill's face assumed an orgasmic glow of satisfaction upon a successful score, indeed Bill's memorably radiant smile, his exultation: Sotto voce Bill pitched, both sides of his neck raw from the punishing work of squeezing the telephone receiver against his shoulder while simultaneously writing out the invoice and taking notes: "Once a year we call... the right thing... the good guys,” each sale a kind of squeeze play in more ways than one. </span></b></big></span></big></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><big><span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;">CODA: </span></b></big></span></big></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><big> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><big><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; line-height: 150%;">Showing this sketch to Bill, the only thing that seemed to elicit his interest was that he was called a "handsome ferret" & the description of the clothes he wears. The rest passed him by. Bill is rumored to be a cocaine addict, but I would not venture even a guess whether his various nasal problems derive thence, since he is obviously allergic to the infinity of molds and mites and pollens that thrive in this particular rain forest. Bob Able, who read the sketch, too, was interested whether I didn't also have something about him, but I didn't, at the time, not until Stumptooth Garzanti arrived on the scene, fresh out of Rikers Island in N.Y. Too much of a nice guy, Bob promised to do something outrageous some day to qualify for inclusion, the closest which he came to doing getting a severe case of bruised ribs from allegedly “horsing around” in a sandpit on an 18th hole! But my opinion of Bob Able holds, not that he is an innocuous nice fellow. He is as intent and intense about making money as Bill, but appeared, best as I could tell, to go about it without allowing himself the indulgence of anything as unprofessional and self-destructive as cynicism; working around him for a while you’d never guess at the depth of appallment that resounded from the voice of the A.G.’s Mary Beth Hagerty Shaw when she pronounced the name Bob Able. Mentioning to Bob that all it might take would be one story and the K.C.P.U. trough off which his firm was feeding might melt away like a block of ice on a hot summer's day, he got back to me somewhere down the line with the statement that now and then the K.C.P.U. threw a x-mas party for kids but didn't make much noise about it - perhaps that is why no one has heard of the K.C.P.U.'s $ 125,000 K x-mas party for the children of King County. Bob's fate was that he knew that of the $ 125,000 a year that his firm raised for the K.C.P.U. only one tenth, at most, went to the production of the "public safety journal," and another equal amount went into the union quagmire general fund and thence into the pockets of its two secretaries and lawyer while he himself kept the hard-earned rest and kept his brother, generously, in disposable cash. His fate was that he needed, or thought that he needed "pros,” to beat the money out of the business community, and whatever fatal connection, it was an East Coast connection, existed between him and Stumptooth Garzanti, the dark angel with two skil-saw blades for a mustache, with black stumps for teeth. The business agent of the K.C.P.U. applies fairly constant monthly pressure on the S.S. to increase the flow of funds, which pressure, via Bob Able, is then transmitted "down through the ranks."</span></b><b><span style="line-height: 150%;"></span></b></big></span></big></div><div style="border-color: -moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color windowtext; border-style: none none double; border-width: medium medium 2.25pt; padding: 0cm 0cm 1pt;"><big> </big><br />

<small><big><big><big><b> <br />
Dear President Emmert, <br />
<br />
I gather that you are leaving by the end of the month,<br />
so shall I thenabouts. </b></big></big></big></small><small><big><big><big><b>Prior to addressing the subject <br />
of this communication, I wanted to thank you, <br />
in lieu of the library system as a whole,<br />
for my extensive use of them during these past 15 years. <br />
I don't believe we have set eyes on each other, except <br />
possibly at the IMA, but if we had chanced a conversation <br />
I might have told you, as I am now, that if I were a grrist<br />
of some kind who could be satisfied with virgins as<br />
uncracked books in the UW Libraries it would be several life times I think before I would blow anything up. And in my fields too, psychoanalysis,<br />
Peter Handke studies,literature in general and Critical Theory.<br />
<br />
To give just three examples: as you no doubt know, an editor <br />
or editorial board is in a position to take special care with an <u>annual</u>.<br />
<u>The Pyschoanalytic Study of the Child,</u> founded in 1947 by Anna Freud<br />
et al, is such a one, I came on it first in its scarcely read entirety at the<br />
Malibu Library, while getting trained at UCLA in the late 80s,<br />
and so did not need to borrow it from the marvelous <br />
UCLA Medical Library, one of the very best in the entire country.<br />
The UW Libary has it too, and when I came here in 1994 it had two subscriptions, and I noticed one reader who checked it out<br />
beside myself; as of some years ago, the subscription became one,<br />
for the social science library, the Health Science Library gave up<br />
on it, as it had on The Psychoanalytic Quarterly, 50+ years into its<br />
subscription [my Institute's Library in Madison Park it was then for<br />
that] and for the past half dozen years I have had the <br />
marvelous annual all to myself, no matter your department <br />
of psychiatry and its various child mental health specialists.<br />
Ditto for one of the wonders in the field of Critical Theory <br />
[Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Horkheimer, and many others<br />
perhaps you have heard of these fine minds]: there exists an<br />
astonishing title by one Shierry Weber Nicholson, who also <br />
had visiting scholar privileges at the German department,<br />
published by MIT Press, LATE WRITING, and it actually <br />
does what so many other theses merely pretend: <br />
it shows and traces and represents the marriage of two minds; <br />
or rather, since Benjamin committed suicide in 1941, <br />
it shows the absorption of his ideas and in some ways <br />
of his being by Theodor Adorno, who spent the WW II years in <br />
Southern California. A title by a member of the Department<br />
of Germanics, who understandably took early retirement, <br />
his dissertation the influence that morality plays had on Brecht's development as a playwright, had gone uncracked... for 30rty years, apparently even by his colleagues but also by the theater <br />
department, which teaches Brecht, and occasionally puts on a Brecht play; very occasionally. Even the then head of the Germanics<br />
departments terrific book on Kafka's epigrams seemed <br />
to have been read by only one other person beside myself <br />
who had once turned into a semblance of his subject during<br />
my sophomore year in college these many years ago and as I <br />
then became more so as the years progressed had been state of the art in Kafka scholarship back then... As a once publisher, and editor<br />
for decades on end, it appears I have a radar that can penetrate<br />
a book whether eyes have grazed its type.<br />
<br />
The first real major disappointment at the UW however proved a<br />
university lecture in Kane Hal by Mikkel Borch-Jacobson which<br />
I attended together with David Spain, then the head of the<br />
anthropology department and my sponsor into SPSI [the Seattle<br />
Psychoanalytic Institute and Society]. Here was a very little<br />
mind doing petty critiques of Freud, and many in the audience <br />
nodded sagely as though they had known all along.<br />
</b></big></big></big></small><small><big><big><big><b><br />
Let me now sidle up to the chief subject of this missive, <br />
a leave-taking as it is. One of the first persons I contacted <br />
on coming here in the splendid summer of 1994 after checking in with descendants of a grand uncle who had emigrated to these parts<br />
at the turn of the 19th century, was a certain Roger Downey - <br />
he had done the translation of Kroetz's <i>Through the Leaves, <br />
</i>which is the third version of K.'s <i>Mens' Business, </i>which I, <br />
and its second version,<i> A Man a Dictionary</i>, both translated <br />
[with two other Kroetz plays] and then published when <br />
I was co-publisher of a small firm in New York as<br />
<u>Farmyard & Other Plays</u>; and having seen <i>Through the Leaves</i><br />
I wanted to get to know this person, I had suspicions<br />
about the text, suspicions that turned out to be well founded<br />
and have never been allayed.<br />
<br />
However, since Downey seemed to have a fine understanding of two other<br />
German dramatists, Heiner Mueller, the translation of the first volume of whose plays by old time collaborator Carl Weber, then a full professor and<br />
head of the directing program at Stanford, I had edited; and Peter<br />
Handke a dozen of whose plays I had translated myself, I decided<br />
to put my suspicions on the back burner. Talking to Carl Weber<br />
I then found out that Downey had misrepresented himself to Verlag<br />
der Autoren in Germany as having been granted exclusive rights by<br />
Heiner Mueller to translated Mueller's play <u>Quartet,</u><i> </i>one of<i> </i>the very translation which I had edited for Carl Weber. Moreover, I had once represented Verlag der Autoren in this country. Indeed, Downey had had the chutzpah to make this claim on the basis of having shaken Mr. Mueller's hand<br />
once at the Berliner Ensemble, and thinking that exclusivity for one of the<br />
great texts in German modern drama [which by the time I met Downey in<br />
1994 had already been published by PAJ in Carl Weber's translation,<br />
Mueller's designated American translator], would prove at least a money bush. It appears Downey had done a translation of his own, perhaps, and it was done once here at Theater for the New City. He also, quite unnecessarily, prepared a translation of Handke's THE HOUR WE KNEW NOTHING OF EACH OTHER,<br />
or so Steve Pearson thought, an equally great text <br />
[as pure text performance] for Steve Pearson's Drama <br />
School production here, it too had already been published, but Downey understood that that very great text and play was the<br />
summa of everything Handke had done during his early <br />
so-called 'avantgarde' period, and such understanding is already<br />
quite something. However, the text consists <br />
entirely of stage direction there are no spoken words; <br />
and for <i>that</i> purpose Gitta Honegger's translation<br />
suffices.<br />
<br />
On the occasion of Mueller's death in the late 90s I suggested to <br />
Carl Weber, to Steve Pearson, who is now head of a department in South Carolina, and to Downey to do a memorial for Mueller, Downey, <br />
Weber and I, and Ms. Sarah A Bryant-Bertail would do the honors. <br />
Come the evening of the event no Downey, who had taken a powder <br />
of a claimed diabetes attack at the prospect of being on the <br />
same panel with Carl Weber whose work he had tried to steal [and perhaps had], and Carl Weber, whose wife fell ill, as she did <br />
whenever hubby might go somewhere without her also did not appear. <br />
Ms. Sarah Bryant-Bertail proved uniquely incompetent in her <br />
presentation of who Mueller had been, nonetheless it was a fine evening, <br />
I talked and read the one text that I had pretty much brought up to snuff entirely by myself, DESTROYED LANDSCAPE, Steve Pearson did a wonderful selection of excerpts from a variety of plays, the house was packed, there was a lively discussion. I was amazed to see that<br />
much interest in a playwright whose work had not been done except<br />
for Downey's translation [?] of QUARTET at New City... not that <br />
that evening then led to anything but a sweet kid who had only <br />
majored in Drama, and was not a grad student in directing, <br />
doing HAMLET MACHINE a few years later way off in a venue <br />
in one of the old Navy buildings in Magnuson Park. Downey <br />
then I found out was regarded as evil in town, I could well<br />
see why and he became a figure of my derision, a joke, the <br />
big butch bear that shortly on meeting giggled gayly, but certainly<br />
knew a prize when he saw it, and of course he would be what we call "eine Petze" in German, a tattle tale as I am one now in doing detail work to <br />
give you one of the by ways of culture hereabouts [you have heard<br />
the expression the devil lives in the rat tails?] . Downey,<br />
a truly talented critic, eventually turned to his first love, <br />
writing about food and restaurants for The Seattle Weekly.<br />
Artistic directors come and go and leave early hereabouts, the<br />
audience applauds the sets, and giggles easily.<br />
<br />
I now turn to the matter in the subject line, the head of your<br />
Drama School, Sarah Nash Gates.<br />
</b></big></big></big></small><small><big><big><big><b><br />
It is not that I have made it a point, though I might have, <br />
to keep on the good side of the Austrian Cultural Service... <br />
but in the course of my travels I have met a few of the <br />
delightful cultural attach</b></big></big></big></small><small><big><big><big><b>é</b></big></big></big></small><small><big><big><big><b>s and they were well disposed <br />
toward me as well as to the subject of my reflections, Peter<br />
Handke, one of their still living cultural treasures, not<br />
quite yet a postage stamp, a potential export article.<br />
Amusingly, Peter Handke initially studied law thinking that acquiring the<br />
sinecure of an cultural attach</b></big></big></big></small><small><big><big><big><b>é</b></big></big></big></small><small><big><big><big><b> might provide security for his life as<br />
a writer, which, however, as of very early on proved sufficiently<br />
remunerative as to ever so fortunately pare that service, keep it free of his "idiot savant" behavior. And so when I came here and realized that a lot<br />
of early Handke had been done at the the already nearly and now<br />
entirely defunct M. Burke Walker-founded <u>Empty Space</u> Theater, <br />
[which was then, in 1994, in the hands of a clown of a Kentucky<br />
Colonel type, Eddie Levy Lee] I proposed to do a Handke fest.<br />
I had pulled this off a few times on the East Coast, at Bennington and Smith, in the 70 and fine people had come up to lecture... But what I envisioned here, with some real support from Kurt Beattie, Burke Walker, Roger Downey, and some other theater folk, was something far more <br />
ambitious. And it appeared that Sarah Nash Gates, too, was behind <br />
the project, at least she was every time the group met. <br />
Kurt Beattie did yeoman's work in doing permutations of the numbers!<br />
And the Austrians came through, not with the three million it would <br />
have cost to do the festival with all its bells and whistles and <br />
inviting Klaus Peymann [now head of the Berliner Ensemble] <br />
and his troupe, and or</b></big></big></big></small><small><big><big><big><b> Luc Bondy, </b></big></big></big></small><small><big><big><big><b> or one or the other great<br />
German directors, to do one big Handke play in German and <br />
show off German/ Austrian theater, films, but $ 300,000... <br />
that, too, was going to go some way toward making an impression - <br />
until, on happening to call the then Chair of the German department,<br />
Richard Grey, I found out that he had had a call from<br />
Ms. Gates that "she was not interested." On making inquiries <br />
I found out that anything not initiated by her does not see <br />
the light of day in that department. She was not only false <br />
to me and all the others who were involved in this project, <br />
behind our backs she was working against something that to <br />
our faces she was supporting. As far as I am concerned, <br />
she could have called it the S.N. Gates Handke Festival,<br />
and I never needed to get paid in these affairs since my <br />
translator's share of the royalties for the performances <br />
had always sufficed to cover my time and expenses.<br />
<u>I wanted to be sure that the record permanently <br />
reflected this nefarious act on Ms. Gates part.<br />
<br />
</u>With nothing coming of that, there were promises by Kurt Beattie,<br />
a kind of permanent second fiddle to artistic directors, who by default -<br />
the near bankruptcy of ACT and the new director bowing out - <br />
inherited the then void of a first fiddle, but as little came <br />
of that as his life long wish to finally, appr. 70 years after its <br />
premiere in Zurich in 1940, to finally do Brecht's<br />
<u>Mother Courage</u> in Seattle. He once asked me whether I wanted<br />
to translate it, and as an old Brechtian whose first great theater<br />
experiences had been at the ensemble where I had seen Carl Weber in<br />
Johannes R. Becher's <u>Stalinschlacht</u>, I jumped at the idea and familiarized myself with a lot of the other translations and the history of that play in English and I certainly have my ideas how to create an utterly American version; but Beattie then, too, pulled back - thus Seattle is not only a great place for terrorists to deflower unread books... but.... Richard White<br />
at Cornish was interested at one time in doing something with<br />
Handke's VOYAGE BY DUGOUT: THE PLAY ABOUT THE FILM ABOUT THE WAY, but he<br />
was then too busy giving away money from the arts fund... to matters<br />
that never leave Seattle. Something you notice after a while,<br />
how little leaves Seattle, and how imports are treated as though<br />
they were native treasures if they happen to become famous.<br />
<br />
M. Burke Walker, a first rate director, and as someone who<br />
has worked with Peter Brook, Carl Weber, Herbert Berghoff, I know a<br />
little about that in the meanwhile,too was eased or whatever at<br />
the Drama School as the head of the directing program - a foolishness<br />
since how many people of that caliber with real world experience<br />
are there. Thus the general nepotism, you might also call it<br />
the "daisy chain or bog of mediocrity", prevails and persists, <br />
processes.<br />
<br />
During my decade as a visiting scholar at the German department <br />
I came to realize how right it had been during my graduate days at Stanford for me to go dead at the prospect of being the life-long member of such a<br />
one: not that the one here has not at least two stellar professors<br />
in Kurt Ammerlahn and Richard "Woyzeck" Grey, who seem to tolerate<br />
the dead wood amongst them more so than I would have.<br />
<br />
I gather that in your new job, you will not only insist on better<br />
headgear, but also that all college athletes have two languages,<br />
one modern, the other ancient which might just do wonders not just for ancient Greek and Latin and Mandarin but for Swahili ...<br />

<br />
Dear President Emmert, <br />
<br />
I gather that you are leaving by the end of the month,<br />
so shall I thenabouts. </b></big></big></big></small><small style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><big><big><big><b>Prior to addressing the subject <br />
of this communication, I wanted to thank you, <br />
in lieu of the library system as a whole,<br />
for my extensive use of them during these past 15 years. <br />
I don't believe we have set eyes on each other, except <br />
possibly at the IMA, but if we had chanced a conversation <br />
I might have told you, as I am now, that if I were a grrist<br />
of some kind who could be satisfied with virgins as<br />
uncracked books in the UW Libraries it would be several life times I think before I would blow anything up. And in my fields too, psychoanalysis,<br />
Peter Handke studies,literature in general and Critical Theory.<br />
<br />
To give just three examples: as you no doubt know, an editor <br />
or editorial board is in a position to take special care with an <u>annual</u>.<br />
<u>The Pyschoanalytic Study of the Child,</u> founded in 1947 by Anna Freud<br />
et al, is such a one, I came on it first in its scarcely read entirety at the<br />
Malibu Library, while getting trained at UCLA in the late 80s,<br />
and so did not need to borrow it from the marvelous <br />
UCLA Medical Library, one of the very best in the entire country.<br />
The UW Libary has it too, and when I came here in 1994 it had two subscriptions, and I noticed one reader who checked it out<br />
beside myself; as of some years ago, the subscription became one,<br />
for the social science library, the Health Science Library gave up<br />
on it, as it had on The Psychoanalytic Quarterly, 50+ years into its<br />
subscription [my Institute's Library in Madison Park it was then for<br />
that] and for the past half dozen years I have had the <br />
marvelous annual all to myself, no matter your department <br />
of psychiatry and its various child mental health specialists.<br />
Ditto for one of the wonders in the field of Critical Theory <br />
[Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Horkheimer, and many others<br />
perhaps you have heard of these fine minds]: there exists an<br />
astonishing title by one Shierry Weber Nicholson, who also <br />
had visiting scholar privileges at the German department,<br />
published by MIT Press, LATE WRITING, and it actually <br />
does what so many other theses merely pretend: <br />
it shows and traces and represents the marriage of two minds; <br />
or rather, since Benjamin committed suicide in 1941, <br />
it shows the absorption of his ideas and in some ways <br />
of his being by Theodor Adorno, who spent the WW II years in <br />
Southern California. A title by a member of the Department<br />
of Germanics, who understandably took early retirement, <br />
his dissertation the influence that morality plays had on Brecht's development as a playwright, had gone uncracked... for 30rty years, apparently even by his colleagues but also by the theater <br />
department, which teaches Brecht, and occasionally puts on a Brecht play; very occasionally. Even the then head of the Germanics<br />
departments terrific book on Kafka's epigrams seemed <br />
to have been read by only one other person beside myself <br />
who had once turned into a semblance of his subject during<br />
my sophomore year in college these many years ago and as I <br />
then became more so as the years progressed had been state of the art in Kafka scholarship back then... As a once publisher, and editor<br />
for decades on end, it appears I have a radar that can penetrate<br />
a book whether eyes have grazed its type.<br />
<br />
The first real major disappointment at the UW however proved a<br />
university lecture in Kane Hal by Mikkel Borch-Jacobson which<br />
I attended together with David Spain, then the head of the<br />
anthropology department and my sponsor into SPSI [the Seattle<br />
Psychoanalytic Institute and Society]. Here was a very little<br />
mind doing petty critiques of Freud, and many in the audience <br />
nodded sagely as though they had known all along.<br />
</b></big></big></big></small><small style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><big><big><big><b><br />
Let me now sidle up to the chief subject of this missive, <br />
a leave-taking as it is. One of the first persons I contacted <br />
on coming here in the splendid summer of 1994 after checking in with descendants of a grand uncle who had emigrated to these parts<br />
at the turn of the 19th century, was a certain Roger Downey - <br />
he had done the translation of Kroetz's <i>Through the Leaves, <br />
</i>which is the third version of K.'s <i>Mens' Business, </i>which I, <br />
and its second version,<i> A Man a Dictionary</i>, both translated <br />
[with two other Kroetz plays] and then published when <br />
I was co-publisher of a small firm in New York as<br />
<u>Farmyard & Other Plays</u>; and having seen <i>Through the Leaves</i><br />
I wanted to get to know this person, I had suspicions<br />
about the text, suspicions that turned out to be well founded<br />
and have never been allayed.<br />
<br />
However, since Downey seemed to have a fine understanding of two other<br />
German dramatists, Heiner Mueller, the translation of the first volume of whose plays by old time collaborator Carl Weber, then a full professor and<br />
head of the directing program at Stanford, I had edited; and Peter<br />
Handke a dozen of whose plays I had translated myself, I decided<br />
to put my suspicions on the back burner. Talking to Carl Weber<br />
I then found out that Downey had misrepresented himself to Verlag<br />
der Autoren in Germany as having been granted exclusive rights by<br />
Heiner Mueller to translated Mueller's play <u>Quartet,</u><i> </i>one of<i> </i>the very translation which I had edited for Carl Weber. Moreover, I had once represented Verlag der Autoren in this country. Indeed, Downey had had the chutzpah to make this claim on the basis of having shaken Mr. Mueller's hand<br />
once at the Berliner Ensemble, and thinking that exclusivity for one of the<br />
great texts in German modern drama [which by the time I met Downey in<br />
1994 had already been published by PAJ in Carl Weber's translation,<br />
Mueller's designated American translator], would prove at least a money bush. It appears Downey had done a translation of his own, perhaps, and it was done once here at Theater for the New City. He also, quite unnecessarily, prepared a translation of Handke's THE HOUR WE KNEW NOTHING OF EACH OTHER,<br />
or so Steve Pearson thought, an equally great text <br />
[as pure text performance] for Steve Pearson's Drama <br />
School production here, it too had already been published, but Downey understood that that very great text and play was the<br />
summa of everything Handke had done during his early <br />
so-called 'avantgarde' period, and such understanding is already<br />
quite something. However, the text consists <br />
entirely of stage direction there are no spoken words; <br />
and for <i>that</i> purpose Gitta Honegger's translation<br />
suffices.<br />
<br />
On the occasion of Mueller's death in the late 90s I suggested to <br />
Carl Weber, to Steve Pearson, who is now head of a department in South Carolina, and to Downey to do a memorial for Mueller, Downey, <br />
Weber and I, and Ms. Sarah A Bryant-Bertail would do the honors. <br />
Come the evening of the event no Downey, who had taken a powder <br />
of a claimed diabetes attack at the prospect of being on the <br />
same panel with Carl Weber whose work he had tried to steal [and perhaps had], and Carl Weber, whose wife fell ill, as she did <br />
whenever hubby might go somewhere without her also did not appear. <br />
Ms. Sarah Bryant-Bertail proved uniquely incompetent in her <br />
presentation of who Mueller had been, nonetheless it was a fine evening, <br />
I talked and read the one text that I had pretty much brought up to snuff entirely by myself, DESTROYED LANDSCAPE, Steve Pearson did a wonderful selection of excerpts from a variety of plays, the house was packed, there was a lively discussion. I was amazed to see that<br />
much interest in a playwright whose work had not been done except<br />
for Downey's translation [?] of QUARTET at New City... not that <br />
that evening then led to anything but a sweet kid who had only <br />
majored in Drama, and was not a grad student in directing, <br />
doing HAMLET MACHINE a few years later way off in a venue <br />
in one of the old Navy buildings in Magnuson Park. Downey <br />
then I found out was regarded as evil in town, I could well<br />
see why and he became a figure of my derision, a joke, the <br />
big butch bear that shortly on meeting giggled gayly, but certainly<br />
knew a prize when he saw it, and of course he would be what we call "eine Petze" in German, a tattle tale as I am one now in doing detail work to <br />
give you one of the by ways of culture hereabouts [you have heard<br />
the expression the devil lives in the rat tails?] . Downey,<br />
a truly talented critic, eventually turned to his first love, <br />
writing about food and restaurants for The Seattle Weekly.<br />
Artistic directors come and go and leave early hereabouts, the<br />
audience applauds the sets, and giggles easily.<br />
<br />
I now turn to the matter in the subject line, the head of your<br />
Drama School, Sarah Nash Gates.<br />
</b></big></big></big></small><small style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><big><big><big><b><br />
It is not that I have made it a point, though I might have, <br />
to keep on the good side of the Austrian Cultural Service... <br />
but in the course of my travels I have met a few of the <br />
delightful cultural attach</b></big></big></big></small><small style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><big><big><big><b>é</b></big></big></big></small><small style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><big><big><big><b>s and they were well disposed <br />
toward me as well as to the subject of my reflections, Peter<br />
Handke, one of their still living cultural treasures, not<br />
quite yet a postage stamp, a potential export article.<br />
Amusingly, Peter Handke initially studied law thinking that acquiring the<br />
sinecure of an cultural attach</b></big></big></big></small><small style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><big><big><big><b>é</b></big></big></big></small><small style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><big><big><big><b> might provide security for his life as<br />
a writer, which, however, as of very early on proved sufficiently<br />
remunerative as to ever so fortunately pare that service, keep it free of his "idiot savant" behavior. And so when I came here and realized that a lot<br />
of early Handke had been done at the the already nearly and now<br />
entirely defunct M. Burke Walker-founded <u>Empty Space</u> Theater, <br />
[which was then, in 1994, in the hands of a clown of a Kentucky<br />
Colonel type, Eddie Levy Lee] I proposed to do a Handke fest.<br />
I had pulled this off a few times on the East Coast, at Bennington and Smith, in the 70 and fine people had come up to lecture... But what I envisioned here, with some real support from Kurt Beattie, Burke Walker, Roger Downey, and some other theater folk, was something far more <br />
ambitious. And it appeared that Sarah Nash Gates, too, was behind <br />
the project, at least she was every time the group met. <br />
Kurt Beattie did yeoman's work in doing permutations of the numbers!<br />
And the Austrians came through, not with the three million it would <br />
have cost to do the festival with all its bells and whistles and <br />
inviting Klaus Peymann [now head of the Berliner Ensemble] <br />
and his troupe, and or</b></big></big></big></small><small style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><big><big><big><b> Luc Bondy, </b></big></big></big></small><small style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><big><big><big><b> or one or the other great<br />
German directors, to do one big Handke play in German and <br />
show off German/ Austrian theater, films, but $ 300,000... <br />
that, too, was going to go some way toward making an impression - <br />
until, on happening to call the then Chair of the German department,<br />
Richard Grey, I found out that he had had a call from<br />
Ms. Gates that "she was not interested." On making inquiries <br />
I found out that anything not initiated by her does not see <br />
the light of day in that department. She was not only false <br />
to me and all the others who were involved in this project, <br />
behind our backs she was working against something that to <br />
our faces she was supporting. As far as I am concerned, <br />
she could have called it the S.N. Gates Handke Festival,<br />
and I never needed to get paid in these affairs since my <br />
translator's share of the royalties for the performances <br />
had always sufficed to cover my time and expenses.<br />
<u>I wanted to be sure that the record permanently <br />
reflected this nefarious act on Ms. Gates part.<br />
<br />
</u>With nothing coming of that, there were promises by Kurt Beattie,<br />
a kind of permanent second fiddle to artistic directors, who by default -<br />
the near bankruptcy of ACT and the new director bowing out - <br />
inherited the then void of a first fiddle, but as little came <br />
of that as his life long wish to finally, appr. 70 years after its <br />
premiere in Zurich in 1940, to finally do Brecht's<br />
<u>Mother Courage</u> in Seattle. He once asked me whether I wanted<br />
to translate it, and as an old Brechtian whose first great theater<br />
experiences had been at the ensemble where I had seen Carl Weber in<br />
Johannes R. Becher's <u>Stalinschlacht</u>, I jumped at the idea and familiarized myself with a lot of the other translations and the history of that play in English and I certainly have my ideas how to create an utterly American version; but Beattie then, too, pulled back - thus Seattle is not only a great place for terrorists to deflower unread books... but.... Richard White<br />
at Cornish was interested at one time in doing something with<br />
Handke's VOYAGE BY DUGOUT: THE PLAY ABOUT THE FILM ABOUT THE WAY, but he<br />
was then too busy giving away money from the arts fund... to matters<br />
that never leave Seattle. Something you notice after a while,<br />
how little leaves Seattle, and how imports are treated as though<br />
they were native treasures if they happen to become famous.<br />
<br />
M. Burke Walker, a first rate director, and as someone who<br />
has worked with Peter Brook, Carl Weber, Herbert Berghoff, I know a<br />
little about that in the meanwhile,too was eased or whatever at<br />
the Drama School as the head of the directing program - a foolishness<br />
since how many people of that caliber with real world experience<br />
are there. Thus the general nepotism, you might also call it<br />
the "daisy chain or bog of mediocrity", prevails and persists, <br />
processes.<br />
<br />
During my decade as a visiting scholar at the German department <br />
I came to realize how right it had been during my graduate days at Stanford for me to go dead at the prospect of being the life-long member of such a one: not that the one here has not at least two stellar professorsin Kurt Ammerlahn and Richard "Woyzeck" Grey, who seem to toleratethe dead wood amongst them more so than I would have.<br />
<br />
I gather that in your new job, you will not only insist on bette headgear, but also that all college athletes have two languages,<br />
one modern, the other ancient which might just do wonders not just for ancient Greek and Latin and Mandarin but for Swahili ...<br />

Mic is of course a man with a great history working his way out of the worst that US capitalism ever wrought, Butte, Montana. His only connection to philistinism, however, is that he took advantage of the nepotism that rules the city, and the nepotism of the philistines is the heart of the incurable problem here.

<b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> I then suggested that the letter might serve as the opening salvo for a forum, which is probably even less likely to be vented in The Times, but which I am suggesting here, too. The piece may, of course, no I am sure it is, too long as well for your available real estate, I have already pushed some parts into footnotes, and so it is like so many of the local trolls, sprightly on top but bottom-heavy.

Ms. Berson bit at my attempt to get her goat when I called her a "mere notifier," and I replied that she ought to use the power [of her position], since sports writers - who also have a lot more fun [than do arts reviewers hereabouts], can write "throw the bum out."</span></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span></span><br />

<b><span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> Something that, Misha Berson, in the Seattle Times, quoted Sharon Ott as saying in her piece on Ott's officially unexpected, sudden, leave-taking as artistic head of the Seattle Repertory Theater -- that "It's part of the Scandinavian make-up or something that it's easier to go out on a boat [1] than to see something that might make you think or challenge you. ... We, of all the arts, should be doing the new and controversial and sparking criticism, and it's hard to do in this town, because the audience isn't necessarily there"[2] -- caught my eye and dropped into this mosquito's mind-puddle, where it has been festering, germinating for some time, now to sting. -- The Seattle Audience indeed is a subject that might make for an extended exchange in one of the indigenous papers, so as to confound the audience to which Ms. Ott refers [Gordon Edelstein made similar comments at his leaving] into some awareness, and I will share observations & suggestions; rather than simply blow the usual Orca of an expletive.<br />
When I started to see theater in Seattle ten years ago, parched of theater for three years though of little else, in Baja Sur, I did not think that I had ever, or would ever, see anything as consistently awful, rarely exceptional. And that includes the audience as much as many of the plays or the way they were performed. It was an awfulness of a unique kind: the audience went ooh ah at each Restoration Hardware set. It applauded uncritically... And I recall Roger Downey complimenting this audience for being so civilized as not to be grossed out by the puerility of a Wendy Wasserstein play at the Rep, an ill-deserved compliment I'm afraid it was. So it is not that unexpected that only in the rarest of instances does one of these shows, mounted at what should be regarded as something like a five-stage, subsidized, non-musical theater, become a voyager on the national circuit, or be consigned to anything but the theater hell that it so richly deserves. [3] No out of town thea ter critic comes to note what is done here, as compared to visits being paid to Louisville, New Haven, Boston, St. Paul-Minneapolis, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, San Diego... some of whose theaters mount plays that interest or are sufficiently noteworthy. Seattle Opera and North West Ballet, hackneyed, too, as are many of their chestnuts, do draw out of town reviewers, and for reason, whereas Seattle, especially once the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Aha Theater </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">& Arne Zaselove's</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> Bathhouse </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">gasped their last "Aha"and took its final dip [4], seems innocent of the outside world except insofar as the Asian connection is alive in the International District. The occasional Marivaux adaptation, the rare Ibsen do not really count. </span> </span></b><span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Theater has to make its way, within a legion of diversions, in the culture; at present is scarcely central to whatever moral and aesthetic or heartfelt center one might find if one looked long and hard enough; and I don't think that very much has changed in the "big three" - </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">The Rep</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">The Intiman & ACT</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> - during the ten years I have been here, or most of the smaller venues, no matter the change in interchangeable artistic directors [Dan Sullivan has done better work on better plays, in New York, since leaving the dank North West]. The combination menu that each of these theater offers do not really differ. For it seems that the directors of the three main venues each prepares, has little choice but to, prepare the annual menu of four to eight shows, so as to try to create the right kind of mix, so that if you ate this mix at each of them you would pretty much get the same kind of mixed fare; which means that you could get three somewhat venturesome shows altogether, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Alki</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> at ACT this year, the Cruz at the Rep & </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Singing Forest</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> at the Intiman, a play designed to spend its life in American theater development hell. Each season also brings its share of the tried and true; which constitutes the majority of shows put on at each of the big three this year, and next year too. Then each of them must put on something to demonstrate their social consciousness, as ACT this year did with </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Good Boys Bad Boys</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">. There is that one SERIOUS show, red meat for the hungry dog, then concessions, as in ACT's case to those who keep the faith of thee-ate-her with plays like </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Agatha</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">. The bad fence-straddling faith of putting on </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Agatha </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">is demonstrated by it being "out of season" - the dear souls who eat this kind of bric-a-brac are given their due, but nonetheless are exiled; basically these dogs are served the dog food that they want, while the theater itself pretends that </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Agatha</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> is not really where it's hear t is at; nor do you want to offend these mongrels of the theater because you hope and pray that they will consume your more serious fare, possibly even subscribe. "Whodunits"</span></b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span></i><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">do well also among amateur groups, as does the forever </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Music Man, </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">point to the fact that the local intelligence might be diverted to the puzzling out of matters other than the murder that resides in their hearts. And then you put on One or Two Character show, because otherwise you go broke. Their whore-masters, the artistic directors, serve a certain caste what it wants. The relationship is symbiotic. It is the symbiosis of forever mutually reinforcing mediocrity. I read where Kurt Beattie, the current artistic director of </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">A Contemporary Theater </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">[where the word </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">contemporary </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">represents a falsehood in advertising], thinks of or wishes for theater as a temple - a temple to mediocrity it is I am afraid, and that is not, at least in Mr. Beattie's case, because he is unaware or was not once aware of more substantial fare [6], no matter that he is responsible for commissioning </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Fiction</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">. - Ah, the accumulating millions that have been spent putting on the forever forgotten mediocrities with which sums something splendid might have been done! And all the necessary effort that goes into selling, having to sell the mediocrities! I don't think there's been a hot cake in town since Tony Kushner's operatic pathos-drenched </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Angels in America. </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">- </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">The "artistic censors" as the artistic directors thus might be more accurately called, quite consciously - the censor, as in a dream, and in old Russia or the Soviet Union, always knows more than anyone else, and knows how to rip and tear out what is unpleasing - keep from doing what might upset the prevailing wishful state of delusion into which a particular caste in "the city" prefers to put itself. The big three could vanish with little detriment to the intellectual culture of the town, though not to the eateries on Queen Anne. [5] - The problem is not just dumbing down the repertory to the twenty-five top stage hits, then done over and all over the U.S. of A.; [6] . But that's the culture, you say, it's always been like that, that's how we like it - no: that's how we are made to like it, something that ultimately produces the same great fatigue as does wearing a false self among the directors; so that, then, it is no wonder that many of those so engaged in cens oring out what they themselves would really much rather do, are so frequently weary as a salmon at the end run. Moreover, a further tiresome aspect of that job: you need to appeal to benighted donors who have a tax deductions and good will to spare, etc. "I'm not interested," after all, is the most-heard sentence in Seattle [including its School of Drama I would say]. - Anything really of our time is as unwanted as 20th century music is in this land of the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Swan of Tunella</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">, of no end of Tchaikovsky, Karl Orff . The classical radio station KING-FM is squarely settled in 19th century miasma, the Glinka part, you get more challenging classics 24/7 at University Village to keep the cats pleased as they shop; the main Jazz station is stuck squarely in the 60s [the least of my troubles, this]. KCTS, the local public television station, is chock-a-block with Brit shtick, furniture auctions on Friday nite, cooking shows, wood working shows, nature logs, train travel shows to places to which its audience would like to be the packaged to than they are here, when KCTS wants to raise money from the faintly hip it will, at least four times a year, put on its one great Roy Orbison concert tape; or more recently what was described as "light musical fare".</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">And I think I quite understand the "realism" that ensures such compromises and why the menus do not really differ that much from theater to theater or from year to year... which constitutes the fatality of American culture, not just of its philistine Seattle version, and the fatality of the mediocrity of the regional theater circuit. In that respect, regional theater is part of what is called The Culture Industry.... which, too, wants and needs to be "sold." Kurt Beattie alerted his audience to the potentially offensive nature of Edward Albee's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Sylvie, </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">and it turned out that, actually, the possibly offended consumers' - of so much pornography of each and every kind - interest was </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">piqued</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">: what if one tried to pique their interest by learning to sell them, say Handke's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Ride Across Lake Constance</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> as an experiential process at the end of which participation in its verbal schemes and a truly roller-coaster ride on the thin ice of identity the world would be as playful and light as it had been when they were happy children and first started to play with words? The ultimate boulevard play as anti-boulevard, Noel Coward but not fey. That is something very real that theater can still do in the age of the other predominating media: create calm, refresh your senses, disabuse you of the accumulating junk in your mind, against which there is no real defense unless... and in Handke's case, the true successor to Brecht, and with a far lighter touch, in an even less Aristotelean cathartic manner. But the artistic directors who work in the regional theater I expect are so hidebound after decades of realistic survival they have lost touch with what drew them to the theater in the first place, and the requisite imagination to educate their potential audience, which is not stupid in any respect except when it comes to matters theatrical, but ignorant of what theater can do in the age of film and television and the internet. Central to what? Y et once it was: Theater was news. Theater has not ever really happened in Seattle, so far. And I don't think entirely because Seattle, as Dan Savage once put it so nicely, is really a town of "breeders." I am puzzled why the fine </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Seattle Children's Theater</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> fails to produce a large enough audience for deeper hungers than those never quite satisfied by what is put on at the main stages, until the audience is off to the far more adventurous eateries; dinner dress theater yet far less challenging compared to the restaurant circuit: the biggest hit in years were the clowns and food of circus-tent </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Teatro Zin Zanni</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">, which proves my point far too weightily [7].</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">And then of course, that TV ate what possibility of mind existed in the audience, especially of the newest generations in this generationally forgetful America, ["Never has a country lost its innocence as often as has the United States," is one of my favorite - it is Christopher Hitchens' - quote, which fails to acknowledge that it never was anything of the kind to begin with.] which responds most positively to what is most like what it sees on Television, so much of which is far superior, especially "all those "comedies," so that even the directors of barely existent little troupes think they should put on... comedies. - Fringe venues such as </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">The Annex</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> and </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Theater Schmeater </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">subsidize themselves with skits from once popular television series - nothing against camping it up, but how much can such a defense bear? I myself am thoroughly surfeited on hee-haw; on Brit-Twit-Wit. -- Not to speak of comparing theater with what films are shown here.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">It is said that Seattle was post-modern before its time. I don't think anything truly modern ever registered, and the pre-modern is fossilized. </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Mother Courage, </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">of which Kurt Beattie, in the full flush of the survival of ACT a few years back, suggested I do a new American translation, before quickly reverting into safe mode [and I had a few discussable ideas how to turn this great war horse into something really American], was finished around 1940, a play that even writers such as Ionesco, who hated Brecht, acknowledged for the one time a playwright had put his thumb on the diminishing substance of the human; it has never been done at one of the main stages, and at this rate Seattle will disappear in aboriginal moraine before </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Kurasch</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">, and so many other great plays, are done here. Ah, people dream of them, but the dreams never happen. Seattle actually lacks as much of a sense of past as most of the rest of the country, except the South, no matter that i t keeps re-inventing a false Restoration Hardware past, and so is unable to reflect. It votes democratic, but if it were honest would vote moderate Republican. </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Yet you keep getting these platitudes, all these Ottish, typical, pro forma assertions, to the effect of "</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">We, of all the arts, should be doing the new and controversial..." </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">which are just a bunch of hoey, sottish verbiage that spills at the drop of the pin, and is never really acted upon because behind it lies a failure to have analyzed or understood the nature of theater and what can be done in it at this historical stage of multiple media, among many other matters. [3] See anon, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">On Theory.</span></i></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><strong></strong> </span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">The three philistine theaters compete for the same constraining funding, and also for the same middle-brow fare as it so frequently comes in pre-tested and preapproved and wanted-to-be reassuringly approved by Good Housekeeping from NY, that's the easy part of the job, it's like going to 7th Avenue for the seasonals, or in the instance of Ms. Ott's predecessor, also in the instance of Gordon Edelstein, Kurt Beattie's predecessor, is put into shape here before it ends up at its grubby N.Y. predestination.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Kevin Lynch, whose Lynch Enterprises, here come the famous "buts and nolts", does a lot of the calling for subscriptions and selling of tickets to these theaters, explained to me recently that during the past decade there had been a decrease of approximately 10,000 subscribers from what at the most was thirty thousand for the big three, perhaps it was even forty once upon a time. The Fifth Avenue, a local operation meanwhile, itself has nearly thirty thousand subscribers, which Mr. Lynch, correctly I would say, accounts for by pointing to the musicalization, or one could say, Broadwayization of theater in Seattle; and why not, since the really serious theater of the world is not done here; and since most folks, in dire or even half way dire times [not that Seattle, at least the theater going part of it, is much affected by all that direness], prefer to be amused, to be diverted; all the young warrior's eyes are looking, at least sideways, at the football screen, of the one same forever game.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Benoroya Hall has 275 performances and is doing well. - 30,000 serious theater subscribers from a population of a couple of million to draw on... is not overly impressive. The possibility of having a </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Globe Theater</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> in Seattle... for that Seattle would have to become a lot less stratified and segmented on class and income lines, though there is more than that to its multiple segmentations and fault lines than that, the pricey admissions being the most obvious; having money and a curious mind do not necessarily go foot in mouth disease [wake up!]. "Our Town" is really lots of intersecting segments, some quite seedy, some so deeply touched by the Lunar north that I occasionally feel transposed to some Skandi 19th century novel, what with old women of all kinds peaking out behind curtains; much of it - including members of the theater world itself - petty as only small towns can be. - Would the North-Westerners go to truly serious theater if you paid them as the Greeks apparently had to be to attend those shows, though perhaps not the ones that featured Satyrs? The contemporary equivalents of Sophocles, Euripides, Calderon, Shakespeare, Chekhov might appear on the scene here, and they would </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">not </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">be performed, not even if they were acclaimed elsewhere - the other-directness of a fearful audience is married to the "realistic" fearfulness of its managers. An old hand at Samuel French some month ago told me that he thought that one chief reason that the U.S. had become so uninviting to foreign plays was because the NEA, founded under Kennedy, had funded such a plethora of American works.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Part II </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Since theater is chiefly museal - it has a great past, a mediocre present, and an uncertain future - let us yet entertain the vaunted positive spin on this state of affairs, and why not: the roots for something better to graft on exist: there exists, I suspect, a core audience of 5,000 who have once snatched a taste of that bit of heaven that is real theater and thus becomes red meat for the forever hungry wolf, that could support one first rate theater [8], whereas the efforts, presently, are dissipated across the various boards, making for a single questionable smorgasbord, yes and </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">what about all those boards</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">of directors</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">, who are they? how much </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">theater sense or what other interests</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> resides there? Therefore, what if one regarded the three duplicating theaters, the three big ugly ducklings, as a single theater with several vectors? Then one of these five stages would be devoted entirely to the classics; one year, five great plays of the Greek repertoire; another year, Elizabethan theater; next Spanish, German. French, Chinese, Japanese... Another of these five stages, the smallest, would be devoted to the truly contemporary, and it wouldn't take twenty five years for, say, a Sam Shepard, and the lightest, to migrate from the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Aha </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">to the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Rep</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">. Has David Mamet ever been done at one of the big three - scarcely, because his work is even more cutting than what did not fare well at Sharon Ott's place. Not even to mention the internationally important playwrights whose work is not done in Seattle. Too upsetting, not Mrs. Dowdy's taste, too garish, leave it to the Fringe, whose festival, too, has bitten a fairly justified dust in the mean of these ten years, yet thwarting the grass even further.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Not that the mere fact of contemporaneity or the fetishization of "the new" guarantees anything [or the various kinds of tokenism, pressure release valves being all they are, my favorites, the crows, can vent and perform day in day out]. - The too few, the true surrogates, who take the deep pulse of their time of course do exist, not that Seattle knows, since the news is quite consciously withheld from it. The same one or two cutting edge plays - And of course no end of "adapting" of novels! - keep showing up at the second tier theaters, too, the off or off-off-Broadway houses as one might call them. Comparatively little innovation there, either. The same Wallie Shawn play keeps popping up over and over. Sort of like trotting out one of the two big Beckett plays when we want to prove that we can be gravitational. Not the faintest notion exists of how reactionary Beckett is in the meanwhile. - If there is one important metaphysical play since the Becketts it is Hand ke's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">The Art of Asking</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">: </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Or the Journey to the Sonorous Land</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">. </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Yet a third stage would devote itself to the kind of thing that you now find at all three: the forever middle brow, well mounted, but scarcely challenging . And I scarcely think that Joe Orton or the once again appearance here of </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Jumpers</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> is challenging, or that it is amazing, as it appears to Joe Adcock, that Orton "only" started to learn English at age two, or the poor man's Orton, which results in </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Fiction</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">. How many current warblers recall the boborygima while sequestered in the mother's womb? No matter that what warbles from them sounds just like it. - A fourth might devote itself to the serious musical theater, with ventures into its origins in European Operetta - Jacque Offenbach, Straus, the Yiddishe, and the minstrel shows.... A fifth ..... plays by frogs and goats... plays for and by the animals... the squirrels, geese, my favorite friends, the so nimble and skittish crows, and grackles... All of which requires a Paul Allen to be splendiferous...Theater from the top down, a different trickle down effect, since the grass roots isn't doing it either... </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">At any event, the venture so roughly outlined here, would bring critics to Seattle, the great innovative directors would have to be imported [8], or might really develop here. In this eventuality, the Greater Seattle audience might come to consume more serious fare if outside attention and accolades were paid it. For Seattle-lites [or heavies as so many more of them have become during the past decade, as I was glad to have a front page story confirm the sight collector's impression] are far more venturesome when it comes to food; and if one were to open a theater with prospects of commercial success, a dinner theater it would be. Such a variegated serious theater as I propose would also necessitate an entirely different set of local reviewers - Roger Downey might have to come out from retirement in the vineyards of gourmandaism, which, so I gathered, and finally it all clicked, had been his chief ambition, anyhow... not that theater ought to be treated as though it were food, no matter that, as Adorno so rightly observed, "degustibus disputandum est." Seattle would have to have at least one real critic, not just its one or two barely adequate reviewers, and its share of mere notifiers, such as Misha Bernson and Adcock strike me as being, who see their job also as one of protecting a somewhat fragile if drab flower that is on continuous life support. The sportswriters, who have so much more fun, can always write: "Sell the bum;" though not many of those employed in the various aspects of the theater scene, here, would be bought. And so they stay.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">III</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">What I described & tried to explain in the first two parts requires a bill of particulars as back-up. </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">For one further important reasons for the state of affairs: THEORY; or rather the absence of any approximation thereof, but animadversion to theory, anti-intellectualism, on the part of some theater acquaintances of mine that accounts for the hotch-potch of what is put on, but for the audience's lack of education in matters of theater, which in this fashion will never become even halfway central to their lives. </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">The interesting theater movements and artists for the past several centuries have all been spawned by or have created theory. In theater, I am most familiar with the theoretical writings of Bertold Brecht, without which translation into action, its constant dialectic, there would have been no </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Berliner Ensemble</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">, [ which fossilized too, once the dialectic froze] dozens of interesting directors, a slew of great trained actors, and an influence into film [Godard] and foreign playwrights, no Peter Hacks, Heiner Mueller, no Tankred Dorst, Bond, Sarah Churchill... however these later artists absorbed and overcame, opposed everything that derived from Brecht... And there is as much popular junk in European culture, and has been there for a longer time than the United States existed, and Brecht took no end of it, going back to the Thirties Years War [now that is a capitalizable war if ever there was one!] and used it. Just look at the best sellers during Goethe's tim e, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Werther </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">was his only one. So Brecht, whom I am using only as </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">an example</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">, or any other important theoretician, in this context merely means to think matters through. For example, it does not mean that you have ratiocinated if you want to get off your anti-Bush jollies by putting on </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Arturo Ui,</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> which Brecht intentionally set in the far away [from his audience's experience], nearly entirely mythic world of the crime-ridden Chicago 30s, and to jam in some Shakespeare. Perhaps Haiti would have been a different mythic setting, with its permanent third world aspect, but that would have meant a re-examination, as Brecht the constant re-examiner did, to test the play, not its obvious political purposes. A fine, austere, theory-oriented, critical workshop theater might be in order, perhaps something akin to Uta Hagen and Herbert Berghof's HB Studio in New York, without technological folderol. The Drama School, another pell mell, does not provide it; and, as a matte r of fact, has lost its directing program in the meanwhile, and so has Seattle a terrific director in Burke Walker.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Now a bit about the Sophocles and Shakespeares whose work might have been done in Seattle, under the aegis of yet another faithless once Handke enthusiast, say at Cornish. That is the play that addresses the problem of theater in the age of film: Handke's PLAY ABOUT THE FILM ABOUT THE WAR. For its utterly simple premise it has a read-through of a proposed screenplay for the umpteenth film about "the war": that way you get the film, and its efficiencies, and gaps for the imagination to live in, without need for deconstruction since the entire matter is already parceled out and regarded from a dozen different perspectives. Not a problem-free piece, chiefly because Handke, for reason of realistic pessimism, now writes mytho-poeic plays that are meant to be read as much as performed, and so the speeches become tryingly long even for those who suffer from the opposite of attention span deficiency. I shall stop, here, but have many rounds in reserve.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">NOTES:</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">1] Having spent a fair time by the [Ship] Canal, vicinity Portage Bay, particularly the summer past, I had little choice but to observe the weekend parade of the great variety of local Argonauts - everything from motorized bathtubs, invariably loaded with loaded youngsters, African Queen types, the only ones I envied, slews of elegant motorized more modern yachts, and sailing craft that, no matter a fine breeze, scarcely used it to propel themselves about; there were times when the fumes, from the combustion of diesel reinforced gasoline, was more malodorous than what irritates your nasal passages adjacent the over-crowded arterials. After a month or so of weekends, the vessels themselves became familiar: there were the to-and-fro constants, recognizable also by the live galleon figures, a wench or a dog at the bow, a fair amount of drinking and eating among the frequently obese could be observed as well. All very friendly, waving. Also of course, the not-that-infr equent hot-rod, making the usual hotrod noises from its not too distantly displaced anal machismo.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">2] Yes, writing about theater in Seattle you have to be mindful that Lewis and Clark, who "discovered" the United States Northwest, and that the "settlers" who started coming in their wake a hundred fifty odd years ago, were not Thespians. Unlike Coca Cola, which no longer even uses the bitters of the Kola Nut, they were for real, and wrought "real" change: but their motley progeny, so far, have originated nothing to compare to the tribal arts that they displaced. Regarded from that perspective, just think of what theater here will be like in another 100 years unless all our offspring are Tele-Tubbies by then. - I gather that for the longest time there wasn't a bookshop in Ballard, and that the Skandis there had their Bible, and that was that. I am glad that pockets of that Balticum are still preserved, if not quite in amber, more in rust. Perhaps one might even put on a dramatization of one of Ingmar Bergman's grim medieval sagas for these descendants of the murde rous converter St. Olaf, to bring them into the age of theater, which is really pre-Ibsen and pre-Strindberg here. - Seattle is of course more complexly layered meanwhile, somewhat, than an emigre hamlet of robber-founders that becomes haven for incest and its progeny. Still, as a friend said not so long ago: "Too few Jews" & I replied: "Too few French, and too few of a lot of other spices, too." And having a bit of the Thor in my background I am by no means unappreciative.... of the general North European make-up of its basic stock; it came, at first, as a serious relief from the superfices of Los Angeles or New York's own provincialities; although my three year hiatus in a small town in Baja Sur, where even the so well air-conditioned palmetto palapers have T.V. glinting through their many chinks, contains the novel experience of a tiny circus first coming to town: the first live performance of anything but electronically amplified music dances on the local basketball court during the forever summer there and church services and festive processions... something akin to Peter Brook's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Empty Space </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">reaction, but not born of the dearth of news and free expression in poverty-stricken circumstances: the wonderful childlike quality of genuine wonder. And so . </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">As to the history, the origins of the Seattle audience -- in as much as I have been able to make it out - the first of several digressions: The odd thing about emigres, once in a new venue, is that they, as time passes and as they stand still in their memory and habit, tend to become more conservative whence they departed, which </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">locus abscondi</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> keeps changing, as they the comers to a new world have nothing to differentiate themselves from, in this instance the local, emblematic slugs. The theaters in Helsinki especially, Stockholm, Oslo, especially of course in London and in many German cities, [etc etc] tend to be more interesting than what one can find in Seattle & St. Paul-Minneapolis; are frequently of World Theater, whereas here, there also seem to be a goodly share of descendants of those who trekked and trickled in from the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Badland [s]</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> that Jonathan Raban described so well, aside whatever memories of many other poverties. And puritanicalitie s... Women judges enforce skirt codes on women lawyers. Noise codes. Repression of the senses is pervasive. [Never mind the zoo on Capitol Hill!] and I have come under the deeply etched impression that cheap runs deep in Seattle. Certain years and dates have registered in a mind that perhaps unduly latches onto particulars, during the decade that I have been here, and juxtapose in a somewhat different from the normal iconographic fashion: the elimination of the after-hours clubs in the late 40s, thus the surcease of interesting jazz musicians stepping out onto the national stage; that Washington State had its own first MacCarthyite, in 1047, who helped shut down a theater... The condemnation for rape of Marie Anne LeTourneau, for a relationship with a South Sea Islander, where you are sexually mature at age 12... an international comedy if ever there was one with Seattle as its butt! The "Witches of Wenatchee" as I think of them... another national drama that made the region look ridiculous. The fuss over a strip club getting an allowance for a few extra parking spaces... Rick Anderson's inveighing, in the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Seattle Weekly</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">, at an affair that the previous owner of the Seahawks was having as the newspapers were running him out of town... I recall once making such a time travel, to turn of the 19th century Hamburg, to Swakopsmund and Walvis Bay, in the early 70s, an Easter Weekend among the murderers of the Herero, and kept looking around for my father's mother to appear as a handsomely attired young woman of that time. However, rather than national origins and the sensibilities that come with them, the general niceness, the way Seattle processes processes processes processes conflict, its basic puritanical heritage go further to explain its benighted audiences, I think; to which needs to be added the lack of light during half the year, so that the dear slugs don't really wake up until late summer - again, Jonathan Raban, his description of the inf inite dankness in his </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Passage to Juneau</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">, points to the forever dank nasal inland passage in the local mind... and the clattering of their chatter of just about any group of them, the Northwest Twang. "The melodiousness of their voices," does no apply hereabouts except to the increasing number of Hispanics. Ah, for the ears to come on the lilt and consonance of an African language on the short wave radio! The imminent, complete desertification of the lower two thirds of California, for it to become like its pendulous Baja, may of course prove, briefly, advantageous to the dank Northwest, before it, too, falls prey to the wages of an economy based on the waste of fossil fuels. The time, in other words, might come when Seattle may be hospitable to the performance of tragedies of all kinds and not go goo-ga at whatever splendid Retro set they are presented with, fall prey to the shallowest lyricalness, pretty picture postcards, retreads, chestnuts, chestnuts in the makings, and perhaps </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">boo</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> instead of applauding any old idiocy that they subject themselves to. </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">At the more popular end, you have summer pell-mells like the Seafair and its Pirates and Flying Angels [F-16s!]; the hordes of naked white mole rats that materialize at Seattle Center on the 4th of July; plus the Seattle Center Bumbershoot free-for-all - that nice Skandi term meaning protection against rain bombs, and a folk fest. - Fringe venues such as </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">The Annex</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> and </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Theater Schmeater </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">subsidize themselves with skits from once popular television series - nothing against camping it up, but how much can such a defense bear? I myself am thoroughly surfeited on hee-haw. </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">3] Critical theater.... the tradition in which I have worked. Brecht, Peter Weiss, Heinar Kipphardt, Rolf Hochhuth... its last example being Handke's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">The Play About the Film about the War...</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> might have a great subject in the politically mediated current state of affairs....</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span></i><i><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">4</span></strong></i><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">] Nothing essentially wrong with any of the tried and true, they were all cutting edge once, when they were NEWS, a fresh breath, that has become blunt and stale, and that the banner of culture employs to waft stale air into an already blunted brain; and especially when done make-believe museum style; every tooth has been pulled from those plays; simultaneously iconicized and neutered into brand names; a production of </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Pygmalion </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">done 1900 style, frozen in time: in 1900 GBS didn't do </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Pygmalion </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">1800 style.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">5] - You could also say that it is dress rehearsal theater and that the artistic directors might as well be buyers for Bon Marche; and royally they spend to find their grey mice in the haystacks; that is, they are buyers for Mr. and Mrs. Dowdy or Ms. &Jr. Dowdy who occasionally fancy themselves as being Dowdy Lite, there's the whilish headline that bright colors are back!: the geese and ducks and slugs remain wrapped in pastel versions of mallard green grey and brown, but they appreciate stylish confections, and receive it on a consistent basis, slightly differently wrapped year in year out. </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">6] The importation of Peter Brook, by the joint theater force, was of someone who was probably a goner by the time he went to perform for the Shah. Brook hasn't done his contemporaries for generations. Starting out in a cellar in Hamburg, he now has a splendid bombed-out looking, former operetta building, the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Buffe-du-Nord</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">, perhaps the most mesmerizing actors this side of heaven, but is basically no more than sacred cow. If you wanted to give Seattle a taste of what great directing is like in Europe, that is not where you would turn: it was another typical instance of the ignorant inferiority complex's veneration of an icon.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">7] Once upon a time there existed the possibility of a Handke festival here in Seattle, and Roger Downey was planning to take the foursome that it takes to perform Handke's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Offending the Audience </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">to the main theaters, a text that confront the audience into becoming somewhat uncomfortably self-aware of what it means to be that second nature, an audience, to be on the world stage: the famous insults at the end are an Austrian's come-on joke; and perhaps if I'd been better informed of the lay of the land the fest might have transpired as the Sarah Nash Gates Handke festival. And perhaps Mr. Downey would have trooped around if it had not proved so agenbitey a task as to bring on an attack of diabetes.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">8] The most nauseating show, however, that I have seen in Seattle,</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">was Reza's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Art , </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">and not just because I had seen its lead actor go through the same limited routines several times before, or the other actors gave me nothing, from an ungiving text, purely mechanical blocking, or because, at best, its treatment of art as yet another consumer article, like different toothpaste where there is no difference, might serve for an episode in </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Frazier</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">, but because there really is a deeply meaty play in the subject of the sacred transferring from a religious past to the confines of the use of now? perhaps forever? sacred colors [say a play about Malevitch].</span></strong></span><span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">9] No wonder, then, that real sports are so much livelier, real play, that the best magician is the Gary Payton of the day or Rashard Lewis, and with royal permission to talk "trash," that the popular music scene is far more au courant - and that though the people are fooled every four years, and a hundred billion times inbetween, you can't really fault the level of native intelligence. Bert Brecht, back in the 20s, already asked for theater to be as tempting as the seven day bicyle races, Nascar he might have said now. No, the people are always all right, and so are the actors, who deserve applause no matter the chestnut. </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">10] In the mean of these ten years, four of the smaller theaters, that did far more interesting fare than the "big three", have disappeared: The </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Aha</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> , where my adaptation of Tankred Dorst's splendid </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Fernando Krapp Wrote Me This Letter</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> proved the final nail; Arne Zaselove's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Bathhouse</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> through some mismanagement and grandiosity and the bad luck of being at the mercy of the green-possessed; the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Pioneer Square Theater</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">. The </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Empty Space</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">, from whose original version in the 70s emanated most of the few halfway interesting theater people I have met here, has much improved over what it had turned into under the management of a pleasant circus clown, I think from Kentucky, during its second incarnation, but seems to be bankrupt for the second time, during its third act. The "Group Theater," which specialized in ethnically oriented work, went down, too; I haven't the faintest whether for any but the stated reason lack of funding; perhaps the a ttempt to do "ethnic" theater in the world where the dinosaurs are grinding and homogenizing them down, is passe? Or has been co-opted as p.c. by the "state theater"?</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">10] On Heiner Mueller's death I had the idea for a commemoration of a playwright whose work had not been done here except in Roger Downey's [exclusive] </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Quartett </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">translation, and after a bit of travail [Mr. Downey wanted to resuscitate his actors] the service was transposed from John Kazanijian's then </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">New City Theater</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> venue at what is now </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">The Hugo House </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">to the U.W. drama school, and the wonderful director Steve Pearson [who to my knowledge is not asked to direct at "the big three"] did a wonderful job preparing a fair sampling of scenes from Mueller's work. Pearson, too, did a first rate production, at the U.W. of Handke's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">The Hour We Did Not Know Each Other, </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">which Roger Downey, who prepared the great text of the stage directions of this play without spoken words, then covered in a piece in </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">The Weekly</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">. The reason for the world wide success for this summa of Handke's early musically composed conceptual texts, however, probably deriv es from the world's surfeit if not nausea at the falsehoods that start to inundate their ears, perhaps as of their fourth month in utero, at which point the fetus' hearing exists, and not because the infinite play of images forces the eye [this is entirely an eye piece] to regard everything it sees as somewhat strange and different, so that it comes out seeing the world fresh. </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Hour</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> is the play that derives from the line "all our stories" in Handke's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Walk About the Villages</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> [a play far too rich for the thin gruel to which the culture is accustomed] and "all our stories" in this instance do go back to the Gilgamesh, and do so concretely, not by way of the maelstrom of political rhetoric that pervades public discourse. Moreover, such sheer and pure poetry is so healthily cleansing that you could probably attach the the brains of the audience to MIR's to see its working, and perhaps those who believe in genes, which is what people seem to do if not in God, will be convince d of the authentic need for a constant re-poeticization of the world. [Pace, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Possum!</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">] Mr. Downey, whom I will always cut a bit of slack, because he is one of the few who has some understanding of all this, nonetheless can be quite bone-headed with the phrase "</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">to help us escape words" </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">in the it's opening paragraph of his piece on the play: </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />

Most learn to talk-about what they feel. Some learn to turn the talk into writing. A few can write and make others feel. Peter Handke has spent a quarter century creating verbal artifacts-novels, plays, reportage, film scripts, memoirs, literary sketchbooks, and indescribable hybrids between-</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">to help us escape words </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">[my itals] , let us forget them, experience the texture of the passing moment without giving that texture a name."</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Such an intention is most unlikely in the instance of an autistic savant who came through consciousness through words and can use them, at times, as a Mozart, also to make us aware of the misuse of words, and syntax, and how deeply, subliminally we are at the mercy of that. -I recall asking Kurt Beattie whether he couldn't call his then artistic director superior's attention to the piece: but that person was too importantly busy, and it is these kinds of deferences that then becom e as telling as they have. </span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />
</span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Somehow Mr. Downey managed to have a diabetes attack at the prospect of the appearance of the chief translator of Mueller's work, Carl Weber, the head of the directing school at Stanford, once of the Berliner Ensemble, where I as a very callow youth had first seen him in the mid-50, knowing full well, prescient as I am, that somewhere down the line we would collaborate on Mueller translations! That fine evening did not lead to anything either here in town, except that a kid who hadn't even attended the drama school, just majored, Joby Emmonds & his </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Defibrillator Productions [ </span><a href="http://www.defibrillatorproductions.org/" moz-do-not-send="true" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">http://www.defibrillatorproductions.org/</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"> </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">]then finally did Muller's famous </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">Hamlet Machine, </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">way out on Sandpoint Way at the old Navy grounds, and received one stupid review, from Mr. Fetzer of </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">The Stranger, </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">who wrote as though he knew Mueller's work, whereas it was evident to anyone [at the very least to Mr. Downey and me, and of a handful of others of those who had att ended the memorial service] that in fact Fetzer neither knew nor understood what Mueller was about but had to pretend that he did: the fact that Seattle is also latte Seattle - the mere increase in metabolic activity in the brain, or wherever, is no guarantee.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />

The work there, 90 percent of the time, goes unreviewed because of the peculiar compartmentalization to which the beast is subjected here -e.g.- Yale Drama School productions are reviewed by the New York City Press! And of course the much smaller New Haven. And it's the same at the other top schools. The acting students, as the saying goes, "can't talk their way out of a paper bag," but are nimble afoot; they be pick-pockets and jugglers when the time comes.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><br />

</span></big></big></big><span style="color: white;">Right now I am taking my afternoon breaks in the shade of a youngish tree</span></big><span style="color: white;"> </span></big></b></big><span style="color: white;">
</span><big><big><b><big><span style="color: white;">that stands on the large raised part of the meadow
behind the UW applied arts - sculpture, ceramics - complex of buildings
at the North Eastern section of the campus, just south
of Fiver Corners, the intersection of 45th NE, Union Bay/Mary Gates Drive,
and the spur that leads to 35th Ave NE.
Around 3:30 I started hearing some fire engines and, looking South, notice smoke
rising in the eastern part of Kwakium Prairie
as the revitalized once Seattle dump is called, a prairie indeed
with prairie grasses, ponds, pheasants, night time coyotes,
all kinds of bird life, geese and ducks in its ponds, raccoons, a pair of eagles,
trails... fairly heaven... the prairie grasses very high and dry and yellow.
I could tell exactly where it was burning, near an area
that had burnt a couple of years ago. There are some high
stands of poplars there, and the rebuilt Horticultural Center
is just a tad to the left of the poplars.
Very good, one fire engine shows up, one UW Police car, the new
small black kind, not one of the lumbering white ones
and pulls in by the Horticultural center. And stands there for a bit,
and then drives on to the point where the fire is
and a trail leads off to the right from the main trail to the UW,
but cant make a right cause the wind is coming from the
Northwest. So the smoke is increasing and really billowing to the East now.
After a half an hour the engine drives along the trail toward</span></big></b><span style="color: white;">
</span><b><big><span style="color: white;">the bridge across the Ravenna Creek and makes a left at that end of
the roundabout trail, and chugs toward the fire on the fire's right side.
Then some more engines show up,
another couple of UW cop cars, anda couple of batallion chief
in their personell carrier type fire red vehicles.
By this time the fire has been burning
for about an hour and the smoke is strong and dark. Then it starts to subside,
the first engine evidently has put it out;after all,
the lake is right next door to it, as is one huge pond that never
dries up.
Then two more engines show up,
the kind that carry miles of hoses. Then a ladder truck. Then another engine.
The fire has been put down long ago.
Even at 7:30 a couple more engines show up and another battalion chief.
Two more engines show up as two engines pull out.
Mary Gates drive is completely blocked with fire
engines around the Horticultural center, they don't
know which way to turn to get the hell out of there.
It gets too dark to read Handke's MORAWISCHE NACHT
and I go to Burgermaster for din-din and a gallon of lemonade.
By the time I walk home past the Horticultural
Center around 10:15 AM there are still a couple of engines
getting ready to pull out.
A simple grass fire that was burning toward the lake,
and was stopped just short of it by a single engine,
involved at least a dozen Seattle Fire Department trucks,
including the investigative lab truck, half a dozen
UW cop cars, and a KOMO NEWS truck, that also pulled out
around 10:15. All at what cost? And of overtime????
Up around 5 AM this morning I take my customary walk
out into the prairie, one man in a white shirt is running
with his black dog. About 10 acres of grass have burned,
revealing several dozen of those this 6 inch diameter pipes that relieve the
methane gas that the old dump is emitting even now. The robins
don't chirp as loud as they used to in Spring, pretty much
everyone has mated by now, other chirpers however are starting
to chirple.

Fuji! -- No: Mount Rainier! [2]# The close yet distant jaggedness of the Cascades and the Olympics [3], to the West and East. # Greenlake [4], Lake Washington [5] the big water to the East, Lakelake: Seattle as an island within the largest island in the world. The shores of the Ship Canal [6] and Lake Union [7], their docks thick with wharves, houseboats, aqua planes & pleasure boats. The variegated fishing fleet in Ballard [8], vestigially Baltic. In short: a city for the discovery; for walking boating cycling. These telephone poles are no matchsticks! Drive a truck through was Paul Bunyan's [9] first impress! Yes, the wealth of wood persists. Trees out-peak the Victorian gables; their silhouettes screen the horizons. 50 kinds of spruce, fir, yew, juniper; pine needle carpet, cones litter the sidewalks. The Arboretum-inspired Puzzled Monkey Fir [10] from half a world away, it too flourishes, a huge cactus palm, with grey elephant-toes knuckling firmly in the ground, hundreds of tubular diamond-spike-encrusted ten-foot candelabra-arms dangling about, its monkey much like all the rest. No end of alleys still unpaved, still rich in the memories of farm lanes. Orchards trees, unpicked fruit of every kind. The bear wakens! Crows in crow-capital peck mussels, hold conventions, congregate in the Church of Green; honkers feed on spilled grain on the railroad tracks, drink Haefe-Weizen, legions of them graze on the expansive greens! The profligate squirrel has the best time of all, to play mockingbird, the baby gorillas of hereabouts; one garbage can per family. And no end of trusting cats who haven't caught a squirrel yet, and dance with bumblebees and seek to clasp moth dreams, at least one per house eyes you longingly through the jalousies. The odd possum and raccoon, neither coyotes nor skunks except by the metaphor. Primary acids & sugars, autumn is bunt and multi-hued, kodachrome colorful, over-powering the largely plain mallard shades. Everything continually buds and sprouts, prize-winning pear-shaped slugs, molds, fungi, spiders, mites and mushrooms, but the hopefully planted figs never ripen; north-facing very mossy roofs, gingerbread cottages. The rain forest temperately overwhelms, everything sops, nothing is ever dry. A temperate clime: the Japanese Current, Aleutian storms, [11] the near-invariable California high occasionally diverts Hawaii north, thus the "Pineapple express", the rarer occurrence of the arctic kind, the fog and cabin fever three season oyster shades of grey. An overall many-millennial jet-stream, ocean- going canoes forge on, the drizzle of infinity, Gods snorting their finest from every orifice, a nieseln if ever sieve saw one, the fog that sneaks in through the coastal range and the Straits of Juan the Fox [12]. Lying weathermen, hustling a sun that won't come, diverting jet streams that won't budge. 18 Hours of light at the summer-, barely nine grey ones at the winter solstice. Often it rains right through the blue window between the windy showers onto a defiant paucity of bumbershoots; or, the arctic never more than a mountain range away, three inches leave the city's five supremely deluded snow plows bereft. A disarray of air-currents at every level, the conversion zone in the vicinity of Everett [13], which converts what into what? A confluence of yet more rain! Dramatic clouds moving cross-ways every which way; here too, cloud-watching can lift you up. Spring lasts, April endures from February to May, buds break at all times of year, the Indian Pear February cherry-blossom-time. "Sun-breaks" is common coinage, moon-break might be, too. The state flower the well-bred rhododendron, " Evergreen State" holds even deciduously for the Western part. "Ample blackberries for the homeless, so ample especially downtown, the waste of the great honky-tonk, all those fine lurching wrecks, every shade of black and brown. A turn-of-the-century wealth of Victorian craftsman mansions, in every style, dimension, to clatter 'round or hole up in, their influence fades, becomes sporadic in the newer settlements, the cottages, one self-conscious step from the early Frank Lloyd Wright: that good! Yet: miserable postwar box substitutes when Victoria has been torn down. What happened? Regrades! Not all the hills and dales are any more, the flats south of the Kingdome [14], stadiumopolis, torn between Hometown and & the standard idea of Big Time, more earth was moved than for the Panama canal, on old photos hotels and mansions, castles on a table in a Spanish plain, perch atop crumbling mesas, photogenically defying bulldozers and pressure hoses. The 30s, the 40, and the 50s is what happened, too; something called "rationalization," interstates: the slashes left by automobile and oil and cement giants bifurcate, fuck up, create cul-de-sacs... that, then, protect odd pockets, full of this and that, bric-a-brac, and wealth, Neighbor-hoodS. Yet the plainest facades can conceal delight. Downtown looks like Central Park South at nite: Yes, every butterfly is smitten by bejeweled sky-scraping city lights. In the street-scene Kwakiutl [15] masks pass by. Motley parking lot devastation, twice copy-catted sky-scrapers 'xept for the sleek, black, sculpted Columbia Tower [16] and the three-sectioned Darth Vader hulk; the centerless, bland conglomerate fails to hold but from the tip of Pier 48 [17], and that already sports a sign that advertises this solitary vista point. And bring your compass: First Avenue North runs parallel right next to First Avenue West: the imposition of the Washington D.C. wind-rose onto a heterogeneity = a confusion of abbreviations and directionals, produces a profusion of Northsoutheastwest Sires. The vaunted Space [18] Needle - isn't that ever a silly umbrella, an overly long Chinese U.F.O.? City without an eye? The mercantile memory of Pioneer Square [19], that and other ancient dreams is but the usual tourist trap. Fertile grazing ground for national brands, trucking companies from Broadway. Judging by the theater sets and the ooh-ahhs they draw, Southern Californiaae must be right upon the cultural cuisinard? A lot of sportsbars. A lot of sodden flesh. Droves of naked white mole rats. No amount of coffee will get these slugs moving yet. The burly police. Ferocious meter maids, on an incentive, the friendliest of bus drivers, probably on an incentive too, to abate the gridlock. The Chamber of Commerce booster spirit prevails, a certain self-congratulatory air; that, and a stubborn nativism, semi-provincial as all get out; a lot of "on the cheap," cheap can run deep, memories of the depression, the broken dreams that trickled in from the dried out delusions of the Montana land scams and further East. The way folks hole up, oughtn't there be a summer solstice feast? during house demolding time? Other, even older memories of destitution prevail. As does the annual infusion of the generational American sprightly young. Yet the occasional "real Seattelite," a burst of the pioneer spirit, and the friendliest of guffaws. South-Seattle industrialized no-man's land. Georgetown [20] an ex NY loft inhabitant/s delight. The strips that intrude for ten miles at a time, ill-named Aurora Avenue North, Lake City Way. The incipient blight of the U-District [21], the land- and shop-lord vultures peck and connive and calculate away. The sub-species of the transient, a lot of poverty on the articulated buses, those monstrous, laboring worms with bike-racks for bum legs and chair lifts for the paraplegic, and no end of madmen riding them. The "Eastside" - Bellevue, Redmond, [22] Kirkland - frowns on sidewalks. Occasional glimpses of a more exotic world, small pockets of the Mid-East, of Pakistan, touches of Mexico, babushkas, all of Asia mingles in what's called International District. Not a city without soul, lots of sleepy generosity still, trust, yet sadistic malice laughs forth unselfconsciously in no time at all. Generally civil, especially by compare... a lot of "relative to" can be fitted in there. Fraying at the edges, rutty roads, flickering street lights, a soft looniness, you step into it like dogshit, unawares, or there it is thinking that you're staring at it across the way; far more moon- than sun- light per year.

The aesthetics of ugliness co-opted. The city democratic arrests its Johns in the outlying lairs. The persistence of St. Olaf's way. The brawny masses on the 4th of July! Or an assembly of drummers on a lake shore! The rememorations of the Indian squish-squash-muk-a-lik suffixes[26] in the widening surround. Mukilteo = a good place to camp. Rumors of a dark side down towards SeaTac, Federal Way [27] SeaTac, Federal Way. Trolls in shorts all times of year. Memories, too, of the Baltic and North Sea and of Camranh Bay [28]. But: look more closely, look even more closely, look inside your looking eye to check its looking in an out. Re-arrange the grammar of your eye. The fortuitously slanting verticals and horizontals. Ochre mingling with the general mallard green and gray... The freight trains and freight yards, the containers, the freighters, the ferries, the vestigial steelyards, and Boeing Field, always also in the sky! The light, the clouds, las brisas, the rolling hills, the ridges, hills and dales, the spits of land, the ten foot tides of Puget Sound, the fog and the seemingly so frequent seemingly eternal thousand shades of winter grey: how easily forgotten at the slightest sun burst. A city for its own discovery; for walking boating cycling... through the gridlock. The light, the clouds, the rolling hills, the ridges, hills and dales, the spits of land, the ten foot tides of the Puget cesspool, even in Vietnamese it says "Don't eat the mercury- livered catch." A scattering of peninsulas and lakes, of sounds and bays, the gatherings of green, Mt. Fuji! -- No: Mount Rainier! The close yet distant jaggedness of the Cascades and the Olympics, a great encapsulator, ten days the soot that half a day deposits in L.A., an hour's walk a smudged face cloth, the pollution bowl of ten year's hence....<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;"><br />

At 4,392 m (14,410 ft), it is one of the highest mountains in the USA. Mount Rainier National Park 235,625 acres (95,395 hectares) was established in 1899. The mountain is snow-crowned and has 26 glaciers, offering a challenge to serious climbers and a spectacular view; its heavily forested lower slopes are popular with hikers; and should she ever blow again, as she does every 1000 years, she will create a lot more havoc than did the explosion of Mt. St. Helena. Mount Rainier is your chief orientation point, since it rises like a huge, isolated, many + evenly grooved cone out of a sea-level plain to the south of Seattle, highly visible when there/s a wind coming from the northerly direction that blows its view clear of the smog and so in that respect Mt.

Annexed to Seattle in 1907, it is today a residential neighborhood with an in every respect strong Nordic heritage. In Ballard is where a very Baltic fishing fleet ties up. To the east of Ballard, along the north side of the Ship Canal, the neighborhoods of Fremont, Wallingford, and the University District stretch to the University of Washington. The Green Lake neighborhood, just north of Fremont, includes Woodland Park Zoo and Green Lake, a popular city park with picnic grounds and play-fields. North Seattle's many residential neighborhoods such as Greenwood, Maple Leaf, Wedgwood, and Lake City run north to 145th Street, the city's northern boundary. Heading south from the University of Washington, the lake-front neighborhoods of Madison Park, Madrona, Leschi, Mount Baker, and Seward Park look east to the city of Bellevue and Mercer Island, a residential island in Lake Washington. West and inland, Capitol Hill, the Central District, and Beacon Hill run north-south, parallel to downtown. Capitol Hill boasts some of the most beautiful older neighborhoods in the city, as does Queen Anne; Volunteer Park, which is home to the Seattle Asian Art Museum and the Volunteer Park Conservatory, sits atop Capitol Hill. The Central District is the historic heart of the African American community in Seattle; the area also used to encompass the heritage of Jackson Streets [long ago] vibrant jazz culture, which was put out of existence with city ordinances in the 40s prohibiting after hour clubs. During the 1940s the Seattle jazz scene fostered the careers of musicians such as Quincy Jones and Ernestine Anderson and trained musicians who worked with famous jazz artists Lionel Hampton and Count Basie, for above cited reasons, not much since. The local term Eastside refers to Seattle's suburbs in King County, covering the towns and unincorporated area east of Lake Washington to the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. The area includes the suburban cities of Factoria, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond , Renton, and Issaquah. The Eastside has become home to dozens of high-technology industries including Microsoft Corporation, ATL Ultrasound, Nintendo of America, divisions of The Boeing Company, and many other firms. In the 1960s commuters headed to Seattle jobs from homes on the Eastside, some taking the ferry to Madison Park. Today, the the reverse commute is from Seattle homes to jobs on the Eastside is just as heavy, and both streams of traffic cross, or try to cross, the same bridges over Lake Washington at the same times. West of Puget Sound, from Seattle, lies Kitsap County, with the well to do Bainbridge Island, and Port Orchard and Bremerton which has lots of U.S. Navy shipyards. It is possible to commute comfortably via ferry from there as well as from Vashon Island.

Endowed with prodigious strength, vision, speed, humor, and cunning, Paul Bunyan has become the basis of a saga suited to the vastness of the North American continent. According to legend, Paul Bunyan and his giant blue ox, Babe, left an indelible mark on the landscape of America. Paul Bunyan created Puget Sound, the Grand Canyon, and the Black Hills, and Babe could haul an entire forest at one time, apparently however dropping no end of trunks into Washington in the process, and when his name became Weyerhaeuser clear-cuts in the Cascades. Some authorities find a French-Canadian origin for this modern folklore; others believe that the tale was a fabrication of a logging company during the early 20th century. Still others consider it a European import, elements of which were later magnified. All agree that this fusion of bigness with the =tall story= is a legend peculiarly American. This legend circulated through the logging camps of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, where the rugged loggers first heard and then retold the Paul Bunyan fables, adding local or personal or ancestral embellishments.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;"><br />

Such beginnings do not point to what some think as the utter hopelessness of the Nordic mush merging with the indigenous mush-a-lik of the first primates to inhabit the region, since the North American continent used to be both monkey and ape free. No, such taste indicates that Grunge is the equivalent mush for the connected crowd. There is some hope yet, but it will take many more decades of Global Warming before a sufficient percentage of Southern California claritas will dry out not only the climate but the bogs of the minds of the locals. Somewhere inbetween turning into Southern California Norte and its current generally clammy and inclement condition lies Seattles golden age, which, God willing, certainly still lies well into the future, so pull out your Global Warming Calculus, and place a bet with Jimmy the Greek in Vegas.

Alec is one of the few commissioners, I believe Lloyd Hara is one other, who takes a close look at the provisions of some of the contracts, quite a few of them no-bid with SSA Marine/ Carrix the 889 pound Orang Utahn that no paper here will do a close story about! </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I have, meanwhile, tried to check out his opponent, Bill Bryant, and he does not appear to be what he presents himself as being: Alec "light", a potentially more co-operative, consensus building commissioner in a consensus fetishized * great dank Norwest [* : note my note on the history of major consens - suses? si? ae? - suggestions from all those suffering from obsessive compulsive grammaticalites welcome !] since its invasion by the empire builders around 3000 + moons ago] </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">First of all, he was put up by ex-Port Exec Mic Dinsmore [whom I happen to dig if only as a throwback to more royal days] and "ethically challenged" "memory challenged" anyhow thoroughly challenged Commissioner Davis, who also needs a hairpiece! Will she have the chutz pah to run agin in two years! Don't bet against Pat! </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dinsmore had vowed to to replace the fractious Fisken, as an act of vengeance for</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">giving the "royal" Mic a hard time! Alec smiled all the way.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Even so, Bryant might be all right. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Unfortunately he is not, I regard him to be a demagogue. For one look at his tendentious primitive website: http://www.bryantforport.com/menu.php</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">For two, regard his false claims: ah another one who has turned all green - actually the port years ago took a green policy, and Dinsmore, the child of that chemical cesspool, that wonder of the accumulation of capital on the backs and intestines and lungs of American labor, the well named Butte Montana,</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">was in the lead as much as Alec. Green is the slogan when the Port for years now has been going in that direction.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> It's an instance of the lazy editorial boards </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">who don't know what close examination is</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">who never take a close look at and compare contracts and who thus </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> who lag behind when they have their sessions: Mr.Malarkey's PCPs in the Duwamish - that the once consensus - beloved of roofers hereabouts for about a 100 years - started being cleaned up several years ago. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">To be pro-business? It is hard to be pro-port and anti-business. However, the part of the business community that prefers Bryant likes the status quo of being able to live off the tax subsidy; a tax that doesn't amount to all that much and that keeps the bond rating high but which the port, if run just a tad better and more efficiently, wouldn't need. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Current Port Commission President John Creighton felt that I ought to get to know Bryant, and since John C. is a Republican for whom I have some real liking, and since I was not disposed against Bryant at the time, I sent Mr. Bryant an e-mail asking for a meeting, or maybe we'd just chat for a while - I trust my analyst ear. Despite Creighton's wish and his then intercession Bryant failed to reply. I mean I am of course a real power house, all I can do is persuade my various feathered friends to stuff the ballots with horse feathers, that's about it. I then went to the Transportation Club's luncheon for the candidates. http://www.transportationclubofseattle.org/</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">After watching Bryant I had not the slightest interest, nay an aversion to make any kind of physical contact; that does not happen often, not often enough unfortunately that my detector gets it right right away. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">It's a really weird entity The Port of Seattle, $ 300,000 is backing Bryant, chiefly from interested parties in the bi community. That kind of backing comes for interested reasons. Bryant himself has exclusively given, rather large amounts, only to Republicans, Cheney-Bush being the cut off line for me to trust his good sense. The port buys a rail line from BSNF and then turns around and sells it to King County; it gets into all kinds of strange matters ... a very odd semi-governmental entity. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Here are a few other links to other views of the matter:</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">http://www.seattleweekly.com/2007-10-31/news/right-leaning-port-candidate-claims-green-but-why.php </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/337851_port02.html </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In the other race, I now prefer Bob Edwards, a bit of a local politico, but an awfully nice one, over National Security wonk Gael Tarleton who is running for Secretary of State, Ayn Rand always gave me the willies and so does Gael. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Below , if you care to read on, an op-ed type piece of mine that expresses my views on the Port Commission, on what is I think an outmoded, anachronistic alderman way of running, over-seeing something as complicated as a sea and airport in these times. Myself, I'd rather canoe and have the 520 covered with dirt for my burro, Durango. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">=====================================================================</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">-- </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">About 150 years ago it was the consensus to string up Indians to show them who was boss.... </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Then it became the consensus to break those great treaties with them, which could get a street such as Stevens Way named after you...</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The names of the original thieves and robbers are Yessler, Denny, etc... and their descendants are amongst us... </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Then it was a consensus to run the Chinaman out of town after he had dug the "ship" [yes "ship" not" birth" ] canal to Lake Washington</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">which lowered the water table by nine feet...</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">And opened up a huge marsh morass where it became "the consensus" to deposit all that industrial shit....</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">It became the consensus to hose down them thar obstreperous hills and make a lot of landfill that became Harbor Island.... </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Then it became "the consensus" to drive automobiles and submit to the cement and rubber and oil industry and then to eliminate the street cars...</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Now it is the consensus to be green... and to vote for Prop 1... </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">These are the bad old times to come as the consensi / ae/ uses/ keep piling on and up....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> ==================================================================</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">John, if you could forward this to Mr. Yoshitani, for a more focussed and briefer version of what then spilled out of me yesterday late afternoon..it will endear you to me for a certain duration. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I certainly was impressed with the way your new CEO handled a number of issues.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Then had a wonderful two hour chat with Bob Edwards outside Pier 69 in the settling dusk which I will write you about separately.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">xxx </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">michael</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> ED PORT [draft] </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I became involved in Port of Seattle matters during the 2005 election as supporter of a candidate whom his firm then forced to withdraw when it prohibited all employees from holding public office. Meanwhile I've made pleasant and more or less thorough acquaintance with the various commissioners and the CEO preceding the ascendancy of Tay Yoshitani; and with the by no means uncomplicated issues facing the port in the world such as it is - ah, yes, "the world such as it is!" As the child of a father who ran a fishing fleet I have always found ports sexy, and I think, perhaps mistakenly, that my take on the Port is benign and not colored by immediate self-interest. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">In light of these considerations, I am wondering whether the Seattle Port Commission is still able to do the job for which it was designed. Something certainly is quite puzzling, if not amiss, about the way it is currently set up. Judging by the 100s of thousands invested in the last and current commissioner campaign you would assume these offices to be worth more than 6 k per annum. What is really at stake? Not only does the job pay a pittance, commissioners who take their jobs seriously, lacking support staff or a budget for over- and insight, will - on top of whatever other job they have - spend many many hours at slave labor wages poring over contracts and the like; something only millionaires and the retired can afford - unless civic minded beyond the call of duty. The Port C.E.O., knowing of the comparative ignorance of the commissioners, has little choice but to want them to be compliant. However, under these circumstances the commissioners would seem to be easily beholden to the businesses with interests before the Port, which pour such large sums into these elections; certainly not entirely unselfishly I don't think. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The commissioners only perk are much derided junkets to air and sea port related cities where you can either have a good time or, once again, take your job seriously; that is, you can get yourself a translator and, say, haunt the docks; certainly a good thing to get out of Seattle to get an other than rain-drenched p.o.v.! </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Thus I ask myself, ought not the commissioners, when their supporters' contractual interests come before the P.O.S., recuse themselves, as some candidates with multiple interest already promise to do? If the answer is yes, would the commission still be a functioning entity? </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">But what if it were an appointed commission of specialists in the various areas that the P.O.S. touches, and if such a commission were sufficiently funded and staffed, might it not do a far better job? And work far more cohesively with the executive? That certainly is the case at other Ports that also run their affairs far more efficiently per cargo ton. </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The second matter of ethics that I find odd is that the previous Port CEO promised to raise money to defeat the re-election of a sitting commissioner, as in the 2005 election he had campaigned for the re-election of a different commissioner. Ought the Port C.E.O. be permitted political activity; no matter how justified it may seem to him from the point of view of running the port? The commissioners themselves also take action to support or defeat each other. Not the sort of thing that is needed I don't think in this instance. It strikes me as though the commission is about to implode.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Taking a less than Seattle-centric p.o.v., I also feel that a regional or perhaps state-wide perspective ought be taken. The age-old {!} competition between the ports of Tacoma and Seattle makes little sense; together they could draw far better contracts with the big stevedoring and shipping companies. Taking the ports of Everett and Olympia, and the birth place of grunge, Grey's Harbor, into state-wide consideration might even make better sense. </span>SUMMA POLITICOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11214697505465094305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018673141431132266.post-66498410268713409532007-08-13T07:03:00.000-07:002007-08-13T07:07:29.676-07:00OP-ED = THE SEATTLE PORT COMMISSION, ETC<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" ><b style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="background: rgb(102, 255, 153) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;">OP-ED PORT [draft]</span></b></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:courier new;font-size:180%;" > </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" ><b style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="background: rgb(102, 255, 153) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"> </span></b></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:courier new;font-size:180%;" > </span> <p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><b><span style="background: rgb(204, 204, 204) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"> I became involved in Port of Seattle matters during the 2005 election as <span> </span>supporter of a candidate whom </span></b><b>his firm<span style="background: rgb(204, 204, 204) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"> then forced to withdraw when it prohibited all employees from holding public office.

Ought the Port C.E.O. be permitted political activity; no matter how justified it may seem to him from the point of view of running the port? The commissioners themselves also take action to support or defeat each other.

The age-old {!} competition between the ports of Tacoma and Seattle makes little sense; together they could draw far better contracts with the big stevedoring and shipping companies.

Mic Dinsmore promised to raise money to defeat Commissioner Fisken. Just as he raised money to help keep Commissioner Pat ["Foxy Lady"] Davis on the commission during the 2005 P>O>S election. Not only is such an intervention illegal, I meself find it astounding that a C.E.O appointed by the commissioners then injects himself in those races! I hope this backfires good. However, all things being unequal, why don't the activist members of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce who constitute its P.A.C. , the Alki Foundation, and the Port's 8000 pound Orangutan, SSA Marine/ Cerrix Corporation, the one and only major port operator in the entire nation, and then some, really tell us - in the small details at the back of the contract - what their short and long terms interests are in having pliable, entirely underpaid [5 K per annum] and unstaffed commissioners???<br /><br /><span style="background: rgb(255, 153, 102) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;">Alec's opponent Bryant, a lobbyist for the food exporting industry, with an interesting resume, a die-hard Republican until now, makes me uneasy for his backing from the same forces - the Alki Club [that combine of the original thieves that came ashore there about 150 years ago, is one way of regarding them!] that supports the nepotistic, insider dealing and trading status quo and that has been feeding off the seigneural Mic Dinsmore trough? The fixes are in, not of course as in New York City or Chicago or Ohio or Florida, but still. Whether for some ultimate good? And it might take a Cy Hersh to unravel them, none of the local papers, but none, are doing sufficient investigative work or are willing to fine tune their lenses, unravel the intimacies of the connections. So no wonder, then, at some sweetheart deals being floated so openly. </span><br /><br /><span style="background: rgb(255, 153, 102) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;">With the coming this year of, so I hear, sharp Port C.E.O. Tay Yoshitani, a new day may have dawned, no longer "biz as usual," so one hopes. E.g.: The Boeing Field, trail deal negotiated between BSNF, Ron Sims and the Port, by Tay's his predecessor Mic Dinsmore - whom the novelist in me greatly appreciates for his career and color in this city of mallards - has been shelved. A more regional, less parochial approach may be in the offing. To support those objectives, a second term for Alec is essential. </span><br /><br /><span style="background: rgb(255, 153, 102) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;">One vote on a five person commission can make a huge difference.
