...have black rappers, white rappers and--sacre bleu--French rappers too. It's not surprising then that the Teutons have finally caught on. In Austria, David Duke-ish politico JORG HAIDER, left, has cut a rap track called Carinthia Has One Heart, a break-beatin' homage to the beauty of the Austrian region and to his erstwhile constituency in the Far Right Freedom Party, which, for those of you who read only the People page, is not a lighthearted group. Haider's rhymes about Austrian natural beauty will be compiled on an album later this year, with proceeds going...
...psychic baggage other member E.U. nations have toward Vienna, it doesn't spell any real change in Austria's political landscape. After all, Haider was not a minister in the coalition government of which the Freedom party is the junior member, and he remains governor of the Carinthia province.

Haider's antiforeigner campaign has struck a chord with Austrians dissatisfied with a government they consider directionless...
...than three hours from Boston. It's close enough for a day trip, but far enough to persuade you to stay for a few days. Bought out by the Killington Corporation in 1977, Mount Snow has been undergoing a tremendous expansion. With the annexation last year of the nearby Carinthia ski area, and some clever trail cutting this summer, Mount Snow has added another 18 trails--all of which are skiable from the main lifts and the unique skis-on gondola...
