...story's ostensible business is to maneuver invincibly innocent Clark Kellogg (Matthew Broderick), an N.Y.U. film student fresh from Vermont, into close proximity with the massively knowing Carmine. A street-dumb kid is just what Carmine needs for one of his nefarious schemes and might also be, as he sees it, just the thing for his spirited daughter (Penelope Ann Miller). But the film defies both convenient description and conventional logic, and in fact it gets into desperate expositional troubles toward the end. This is a movie one loves for its incidental pleasures, not its ultimate intentions, whatever they...
Whatever the political perils, taxes have become a subject that many state lawmakers cannot avoid. Slower economies, especially in the Northeast, have left more than 25 states facing deficits. Since every one of them but Vermont is required by law to have a balanced budget, deficits mean tax increases, spending cuts or both. Moreover, many states have been hiking taxes to make up for declining federal funds for clean water, job training, low-income housing and sewage treatment.

...supposed to be the serious one. Julio wrote about "hockey gods" eating popcorn in Vermont's Gutterson Fieldhouse. I called for RPI hockey Coach Mike Adessa's resignation. Julio gave a stream-of-consciousness account of sports in the year 2000. I did a series on the law and women's sports...
Dack is short for Dacron. His brothers are Rayon and Orlon. They are among the neighbors Clea finds when she moves to a Vermont village and discovers that this seemingly idyllic countryside is filled with -- gasp! -- polyester. Down at Casa Loretta, they feature Spam burritos and Hawaiian pizza. The local postmistress steams open love letters, the Avon lady writes bad romance novels, and the sheriff makes pronouncements like "If you're not normal in this country, you get put in jail." Such rural New England cliches make Newhart seem like subtle satire, but Alther recycles them with such a tone...
