Long a topic of intermittent' and n1cbnclusive debate, theissue ofdoctor-al3Sisted suicide for the terminally ill lias- resutfaced' ,in the news. The catalyst was the recent arrest in Midiigan of a
doctor who, having constructed a machine allowing,- patients to,fatally inject themselves, assisted a person' with Alzheimer's dis-,,ease in using the- device on herself.' The doctor was <;harged with
frrst-degree murder, but a judge later dfopped the charges. "Whatever the merits or problemS of ntis particular, case, it 'brings to light a serious issue we address too ·rarely. Modern
medicine often succeeds in prolonging the lives of terminally ill; people, but much l~ often succeeds 'in prolonging the qualitY of
their lives. For: th*suffering painful' and hopeless conditions,such extra' time is often little more than ,a senten~e of torture,needlessly prolonged.''
The medical ethic which bars doctors from helping to endsQch torture was devised in an age- when people usually: djedmore swiftly from natUral causes than they do today. It was pre..
.
sumed immoral. to intervene in terminal suffering which was considered an act of God or nature. Now, however" medicine has
indeed intervened, 'not to end, but to endlessly prolong, such'sufferfug, which is no longer an act of God bu(~co~ueqce

, Channels 2, 4, 5, 7, 11, 41
and 47 would be far more appro.priate boycott targets than Channel
13. Also, other local public stations, such as city-owned Channel
31, Long Island's Channel 21. andthe New Jersey Network, haven't
even come close to matching
Channel 13's service to 'gay men
and lesbians.
, During th~ past Gay PrideWeek, when Channel 13 devoted asignificant part of its airtime to gay
and lesbian programing, I spent a
couple of days in Philadelphia,
where I learned that a local public
TV station there waS not doing any
special PJOgraming for its 'lesbian
and gay viewers. In previous years,
they, had at least dusted off an old
chestnut like The TimBS of H8fV8Y
Milk or Won! Is Out (probably the
only gay- and lesbian-positive programs to which Philly's Channel 12
has the rights).

Of course, Channel 13 CQuid

which should be reserved for ourmost homophobic enemies, Wheyaren't GLAAD and Queer Nation
calling for a boycott of WABC
Radio and its advert'isers, sincethat station has three vile gay-hating hosts (Bob Grant, Rush Umbaugh and Jay Diamond)" yet not
one openly gay host? Boycotts
might also be appropriately usedagainst stations which air hatefilled fundamentalist diatribes or

Last week's action celebrated thefirst anniversary of last year's widely
publicizeddemo and served as areminderto the archdiocesethat
activists have not forgotteQ. John
Olrdinal O'Connor's anti-gay, anti-abortion and anti-safer,sex stances.
Howev~r, the focus of the demonstration this year was on me activists' callfor separation of church and state.

said ACf UP,'

we are working to push the church off
Fernandez's back."That plan, sponsore<;l by Joseph
Fernandez, the chancellor of schools
here, would allow all city high schools
to, distribute condoms to students, without needing their parents' cdpsent. "The demonstration
also gave ahero's welcome to sbcprotestors who
were recently convicted for last year's
action inside St. Patri<*'s Olthedml, tying
the multiple guilty coµnts those activists
received to what activists called theundue irlfluence the archdiocese exercises over city and state policy matters.

One source disclosed that 464
police officers were brought to St.

the police 'cleared the cathedral prior to
the 10:15 mass and brought in bombsnifflOg dogs to checkthe; area' for hid,den explosives.

its intent to' hQld a forum on anti-lesbian

The Nov. 15 ruling, the first everin Canada on AIDS discrimination;

,Though aware that many US
activists prefer high-pressure !0bbyin,g ,of government, Rae says thjlt th~~e was'"a conscious effort not to make the recommen,dati,ons a burning public issue.
"There was no lobbying, no press coverage," Rae says. "We kept it o~t of the, limelight, and it worked." Rae believc;sthat several moderate councillors withconserv~tive constituencies felt that they",
could getaway with yoting for theommendations becau~ they were' outof the public eye.

However, Rae and Phibbs were virtually guaranteed' a receptive audiencein the first place' by simply appearing'
before the m'a'yo(s ~ommittee on

Black community after a series of policeshootings of unarmed Black civilia~s;
the committee has served as a sympathetic initial safety valve for minority

not just anecdotal," he said, Baker produced a computer bar graph made fromthe mailing lists of they gay direct mailfirm Strub/Dawson. Those lists, cOntain~• ing 33,000 names, when printed but by
zip code only, confirmed previous
anecdotal evidence. Baker was campaign manager for Sean Strub, aStrub/Dawson ,owner, in Strub's failed
bid to be the Democratic candidate forthe 22nd congressiorial'districtseat.
Also presenting data was Phil Ryan,a member of the Gay and Lesbian. Independent DemocratS who sits on the
New York state liquor authority board.
Ryan had charted the locations of over
350 gay and lesbian organizations on amap of the five boroughs. Operating on
the assumption that these organizations
are near the populations they serve, thedata further reinforces anecdotal evidence that gay and lesbian populations
are concentrated in Brooklyn Heights,

The law permitted a maximum
penalty of only a $200 fme for "deviant
sexual intercourse" between adults of thesame sex-specificaIly "mouth-to-genital~and ~genital-to-anal" sex. It had not been
enforced in the J)QSt 10~,qut activists,
say that it hurt them in other ways.
Among those who testified at thetrial was Mica England, a lesbian, who
was denied a position on the Dallas
police force last year because,police
said, she had a propensity to engage inoonduct that was against state law. Sheis suing the state in a separate case handled by lambda Legal DefenSe Fund.
The state is expected to appeal theruling, said 1HRF spokesperson Frank
Stenger. The case would go first to an
appeals court and then-to the state
Supreme Court.
"We would just love to get thisbefore the Supreme Court," commented
Waybourn. "We have a liberal Supreme
Court.", Trial courts in Michigan and
Kentucky have also overturned those, state's ~omylaws this year, Since theSupreme Court's 1986 decision in

AUSTIN, Texas
A district court
overturned Texas' "homosexjudge
ual condu<;t" law on Dec. 10, saying thatit denied gays and lesbians constitutional
prote<;tions of privacy, due process andequal protection under the law. 'Seven other states specificallycriminalize gay sex,and
another 17
outlaw oral, anal and certain other sex
acts by anyone.
,
The luling by Judge Paul Daviscame in a test case brought by five gays'. and lesbians and the Texas Human
Rights Foundation, a gay legal agenc:y.
Repeal of the statute, section 21.06
of the state penal code, had been an
ongoing goal of Texas activists since

up troublemakers. He also has AIDS, forwhich diesel therapy is no cure. Neither
is the segregation, isolation or alleged
torture he endures.
Behind bars, Magner (his friends

activist, fighting for both better medicalcare and compassionate
release for
prisoners with AIDS, No matter where
he's sent, his travels always end up in
Springfield, where the system's flagship,medical facility is located. Although

This means that prisons must,at the,very least; provide access to care comparable to that available on the outside.
Often, they don't. "It would be far better to die out in the streets than to die,iil prison,· said Judy Greenspan, director of the ACLU's N:Jtional Prison
Project. "In prison, when you're dyirig,
locked down or in the hole, they ignore
you .... you're better off going to an
emergency room at 'a public hospitalthan be there in prison."
Jimmy is known within the system
as a litigator, a distinction that will only
get an in~te ,into trouble. He's filed,habeas corpus writs" which are either
denied or bounced back because hedidn't exhaust all administrative routes
within the ,prisot:l system. Now, as hebecom,es sicker, lie Wlµlts to get out oncompassionate' release, but no one, save
his family and the ACLU, seems to belistening. Recently, Jimmy went before
the parole board, which noted he'dbeen caught breaking prison rules bysmoking two, cigarettes. Parole denied.
, Next hearing: Apr,il1992.
Meanwhile, lawsuits end disappointingly. Diesel therapy separates him
papers, which travel afrom his ~different route and get to him weeks
later. When c1iesel therapy Isn't ideal,

One day a few years ago, Jimmy,
drunk and distraught over having AIDSrelated complex, losing a job and being, deserted by a lover, walked into an
Atlanta, bank, unarmed, and gave ateller a note declaring a robbery.
Without getting any money, and hopingthat he'd be shot to end his troubles, hewalked out of the bank and, drinking abeer, sat on a bench across the street
arid watched as' heavily armed law
enforcement officers converged on thebank. He tried to turn himself in on a
Friday afternoon, but the FBI told him 'that they were closed for the weekend
and he should try again on Monday. "If
it wasn't so tragic, it would be funny," I \Sheila says. '"Seven years for me is reaUy adeath sentence," Jimmy says, "but that's
what I received and was told there waslittle I could do about it. So, I figured,oh yeah!? We'll see about that." He continues: "I have a way, I'm told, of motivating people. I like action. I hate procrastination."
And he also hates the laissez-fairetreatment of inmates. "The People arevery interested in putting the criminal
behind bars," he says, "but not so interested in what becomes or happens to,the prisoner, once sentenced.""--p.Re/New Yom

on Shulman's staff is a question thatremains to be answered. I hope that Maffei can be instrumental in securing Shulman's sponsorship of the domestic partnership bill and in lobbying Queens
council members on the legislation.
And' while we're on the subject ofQueens County, one of its most respected congress members, Floyd Flake, issoon to be put on trial for charges of
misusing public funds granted to his
church. If convicted of the charges hewould, by state law, have to vacate hisseat. Me is the 'only African-American
member of CoOgress from Queens, andthe unanimous opinion from those in theknow is that Black City Counci1member
Archie Spigner will try to win, a special
election if the seat is vacated,
Spigner would be a disaster fof thegood people of Queens,' ana especiallyfor our community, He has been an outspoken foe of lesbian and gay rights on
the Council, and even spoke against thegay rights resolution passed by the New
York state J~ Jackson Delegation at the1988 National Democratic Convention in
Atlanta, On the Council floor, Spigner
once ,said that the reason students can't
read is that there are gay teachers. Spigner has also been an unproductive legislator on all matters relating to AIDS.',Many people have urged a pro-gay
fanner congress member, AI Waldon, toenter the race, Waldon, who is also Black,
was an ~blymember who won the
congressionafl seat in a special election
and lost it shortly thereafter to F1ake, He
was recently elected to the state Senate
and may choose to stay there rather thanrisk a bruising battle in the congressional
primary. Redistricting may change thecompOnents of tl).e district, but right now
it looks like Spigner could walk right in,
Spign~r is unacceptabl~' to our community, and we must see to it that all those
who say that they support civil righrs find
him unacceptable, too ....

to close the,,.
Cubby Hole was reportedly made after
the landlord stormed into the bar with
police officers and demanded money-from .the r~g~ster. Romagnoli' disclosedthat the landlord came, int.o the bar
because' the rent had not been paid.
tAfter an altercation involving thelandlord, the cops ;lndrepresentatives
from Crazy Nanny's, the Cubby Hole,'ssister establishment, one eyewitness'recounte~ that a large nurµber ofpatrons. cleared out of the bar, and theword came down that in two days the
Cubby Hole would be dosed.
The orientation of the Cubby Holetoward men came after owner Romagnoli located a much larger space at
the corner of Seventh. Avenue'Southand Leroy Street, and decided to open
the second establishment. to the lesbians
who for years had crowded into the
Cubby HQle. "The only ~eason I'even
tried tQ keep the ~ubby Hole' open withboys is because boys spend mOfe
money," Romagnoli said last week.
Romagnoli told Out Week last summer that she had decided to turn the
Cubby Hole into a watering hole for'gay men because' ~he did not· want tocompete 'against. herself for business.
Although ther.e was some grumbling
among lesbians' because men were
gaining yet anotli~r social space, while
the number of exclUSively lesbian bars
remained the same, Crazy Nanny's wasa rousing success overall.
The Cubby Hole, on the other
hand, while popular with a handful ofregulars, did not develop a large circleof new supporters,
and even on. weekend nights,'.th¢ bar was generally
very quiet.

"Homey dOn't play tbatr,,,

n a recent trip to Washington, DC, to participate as a panelist in a public forum
regarding the issues of "sex, politics and·
art," I came face-to-face with the dangerous' conSequencesof misrepresentation,",, As I entered Union Station from the train platform, I
was immediately approached by a white man. He was an
officer of the law. I was questioned and harassed by him as
I headed through the station to the taxi stand. 1 was in nomood to be toyed with, particularly bya whitewith abadge and a gun. I ref'used to' stop and answer his questions; and 1 told him that if he wanted to question me hewould have to do so as we walked. His suspicion-that 1,was a drug courier-was aroused because 1 was dressed injeans, a down jacket and,a Raiders baseball cap-the standard attire of what we call the "butch queen" look, thehome-boy loo~, the look of the ghetto. 1 refused to cooperate with the officer
because 1•
knew it was my look thatmade him feel he could single
me out to receive his intimi~.
'datingtactics, 1 angrily 'suggested that if he wanted to search me, then he would also
have to search some of the white women and men who
were on the train with me· because they could be smuggling cocaine, guns and bombs in the linings of their furcoats or in the pockets of their suits and briefcases. The
officer then said that 1 could/be a wanted man, and'l snidely said, "I am wanted by most men and some women.", This only caused him to esca1llte his aggresSion. He thensaid, "I stop people everyday who are carrying automatic
weapOns and illegal firearms." 1 theh added, "Unfortunately, I'm not carrying weapons today."

',Donahue cruµlenged Wayans and the cast to speak to
the Gay and Lesbian Alliance' Against Defamation:s, or

" One then wbnaers how well do these obviously talent-'

EI Gates, the executive director of
GMAD said: "For the whole image to be trivializing, petty

When I was offered the opportunity to write thispiece about In Living Color, and specifically about "Men, on ... ," I wasn't
sure that I wanted to take on such a chal,lenge. I knew that it would be necessary to get commen-'tary from filmmakers such as Marlon Riggs and Michele
Parkerson. I would need ,to talk to Ron Simmons, assistant professor in the department of radio, TV and film at
Howard University, and I would need to speak with
Jacquie Jones, editor of the Black Film Review. As I cast
my net out, I realized that Alan Bell, publisher of thenational Black gay and lesbian news ,magazine, BLK, and'Black gay community
organizer
Tyrone'Smithof,
Philadelphia, president of Unity; Inc., would also ,need
to ,be queried about their responses to In Living Color.
,What began to emerge from these queries was a picture, that critically dismantles In Living Color and the "Menk'',on... " SItS.
But that was not enough. I decided to go to BJP's, a 'lesbian-owned Black entertainment complex located inWest Philadelphia that caters to gays and lesbians. The staff
was very gracious in allowing me to camp down for three ,hours to interview patrons. When word went out in the bar,about what I was doing, people freely volunteered and ,waited in line to say their piece pro or con-about In Llv-

I feel very ambivalerit about "Men bn ...." It plays into
the stereotypes the dominant culture has of us, but that's
not my concern, not that they're queens they"re campqueens but rather it's an image of queens who, function 'in
a way that justifies all of the very traditional beliefs about
Black gay sexuality and allo",s a larger public-beyondgay

that ,allows tberp to deal with them by not really dea,lingwith them. For me, the skits are p. 'rticularly troublesome
because- of, the Portrayals of 8/lY l~,en, as misogynist ,andbuffoonjSh in a, way that's close to caricature not camp,
but caricature. And again, , it's not just, that it's for me a
vicious image in this, sort of dichotomoµs positive/negative
sense, but rather it plays into a notion of Black gay sexuali~
ty held by the Black community and now being embracedby the larger dominarit; community. A notion that Black gay
men are sissies, 'ineffe.Grual,ineffective, womanish in a waythat signifieS inferiority rather than empowerqlent.

Well, I have dual feelings. I think that it's frightfully funny,and I enjoy looking at it, but at the same time I recognize thatthese portrayals are going out to people who don't have another context to put them in. I, and moSt Black gay men, haveanother context, and so, in that sense, "Men on ..." is negative.

They remind me of a lot of my customers here at the bar.

They tend to have faggotry-what we call faggotry aroundhere down pat, OK. They give yoo more than two snaps
and more than a couple of'clrcles. I thiflk they're really good.
It's not homophobic, which is, I think, one of the best things.

Tess

Burruss,

BJP'spatron, I don't particularly care for their portrayals of homosexu-,
also I think it's too flamboyant. I think gay people have beenstereotyped enough without having a Black program castrating
Black men. For example, when they scream. Nobody screams
anymore. We're ,not flamey. We're trying to be productive insociety, and we don't need Black folk denigrating us.
Do you find the portrayal of women offensive?
No, I don't fm<;lit offensive beCause they don't, pqrtray
wOn;len, they portray a man's viewpoint of what womanhoodmeans to a man. They have no concept of what a woman is.
They're more or less ridiculing Black people on all levels in. this show. I fmd it hilarious. It's justembarrassing to me that it's Black
people. If it was Dean Martin andJerry Lewis, I'd really laugh. But
there's nothing funny abollt Black
life, There's nothing funny about
gay life. There's nothing funny
about life, period. I think Black
people if} this country have been
portrayed too long as buffoons.

I think that In Living Color is,
exquisite fun, I really do. I think that the two guys in the portrayal of two gay males do something that is just wonderfulfor our community, They present a great deal of humor an,d a
great deal of truisms. DuriI)g the tUne that this particular segment is on 1V, the juke box is turned off, unplugged, and theentire group, everyone in the bar, in the restaurant and thedisco all stop to watch In Living Color.

editor,Review

I'm not gay. I'm not lesbian. "Men on ..;," along with theportrayals of the West Indian family on the show The Hed/eys,, are two of the least hostile skits-in terms of the way thatcharacters are presented. I have more problems with the use
and the roles of women in the [entire] show. I think "Menon ..." is explosive in the sense that it puts Black homosexuality out there, and rather unabashedly out there, which, I think,in a lot of ways, Is important because it forces people to deal,

looking at a popular culture that is hos,t,ile.When you Hst~~
to rap music, a lot of what these brothers have to say isright on, out, my God, it's like: Get in myface,- I wtil
Q,ust-! •,,your. lip, I will fock you up, I'm a Black man, you lmow,whatever, So understanding If' Livir,g Color in regarQ to t?etest of popular culture, I don't think it's UQusually hostile in-the, context of a general hostility in popular cultur~. What
the show wants to do is have a very biting, satir~cal'kind ofcommentary which, I think, it haS had in a lot of r~ly,
really good skits, So; to have issues addressed is Very
important. But then I think there ,is also an underlying
strain. to the show, as there is in rap music,of a, vrry>
misogynist ;,tttitude,",,, I think that it compares a lot to images of Black:>in film
prior to the '60s, In other words, what's dangerous l).Pout
that' Particular segment is that there are no alternatives toimages of Black gay men. They're always represented ,asthese kinds of caricatures, these kinds of ·coonisms," and if"~o.Mb•••• , ..-.0

Black people, are at war with the US power 'structure, at,•war with the ruling elite thQse who brought us here inchains and have been living off our labor since day one. .
We are in a state of war, with them, which they are winning, by the fact that we are now worse off than we were
bacK in the '60s, Forty-two percent of American Blackchildren are living in poverty, Clearly they are winning.
'The number of Black men in jail is more'than [the numb~rl in college. !bey are winning, If history was to .recordthat while alLthis was going on, Black folks were sittingin their homes laughing at some stupid-ass shit lik~ "Men,on ...," you see, it's almo~t like watching 1V on the Titanic., That's what really scares me. That's why I saY'In Living Coloris dangerous,,,•s -these responses indicate, the representaion of sexual, racial, ethnic and gender
identities in the context of media is one of the most critical debates the marginalized, the oppressed and the disenfranchised groups in this country will contend withduring this decade. These debates, these efforts to claim
and reclaim identity are not new, particularly for Black
Americans, Throughout
this century we have challenged, ,\the images others have presented of 'us. Perhaps now,mor~ so than at any other time in our history, the imagesof Blacks {:iortrayed in the media are being rigorouslyinterrogated, ,and Simultaneously, there is a,n increased,.
effort to bring accuracy and truth to these portrayals,
either through reappropriating
and reinscribing the- ,images with,the power to point the way to our liberationor, conversely, the~images th~t have only served to affirm
the mechanisms and conditions of out oppression arebeing righteously destroyed. 'These efforts, are not occurring exclusively among.

,

Black Americans; lesbians,
gays, women, ,the physicallychallenged and other ethnic
groups and nationalities are atwork creating images thataffirm and empower, while
simultarieously
destroying, those that confine and injure.
Each and every one of us is anactive or passive participant inthis process. "'Representation is. not tobe viewed solely in the context of ~ass media; television,
Hollywood and the realm of
the-printed word are all areas
where these debates and battles are escalating. They are
I also occurring in the realm ofwhat can be deemed the "personal," which I would define
as being the realms of family,
intimate and community relationships, and I would alsoinel ude relationships
thatoccur in a business context
such as the relationship between an employer andemployee, How does each one see the other? In eachof these areas, and others, representation is critical tothe exte~t that' your identity is respected, and you are
not victimized by the representation someone else
creates of you.
'
As predominately passive consumers of mass~media
representations of Blacks, women, gays, Hispanics andothers, we would ~ wise to understand that we do nothave to submit to, or aCCept,what
is served to us, even,when it is supposed to be 'a reflection or a parody of
our lives,
Television is ubiquitous and powerful only to,the extent that we allow it to enter into our homes andcreate chaos while we literally sit and watch.
. Black gay men and Black lesbians need to thenunderstand that the longer we stay in the closet, the, longer we will be victimized ,by buffoonish depictions of our lives-asin the case of the SNAP!
queens portrayed on In Living Color. We should not'expect sympathetic non-homo Black Americans togo forth and, .advocate ,for portrayals of our lives incontexts other than cheap humor. We have' to takean aggressive lead in that battle. Too often our owp
people have exploited our identities as a means to
obtain a fast buck and celebrity ·status. The com-'
plexity of the misrepresentations
we confront isexacerbated by the ability of satellites to' instantaneously beam disparaging depictions of our lives toany place the Signal can be received, including
beyond this solar system. Living in a closet is thusthat much more frightening than ever, for to do so
is to surrender our sexual identity to· the hands ofpeople who would be just as satisfied if our silence
was absolute ei~her by way of us being dead or by
way of us disappearing..

by Otis Stuart,..

As Hollywood,

hunks go theseda~dain't there a lot of 'em, goingevery which ~y but ours Kevin Costner is something of an anomaly, begiilning with the physical package. The
body is anything but high-tech. Leari andlithe, for sure, it is also decidedly
lightweight by the standards of the Stallone-cum-Schwarzenegger epoch; there's
ba,rely a trace of the attentive definition
that stretches·'1'-shirts rightdown to the Brat Pack,

But the Costner screen persona is,
more than sexually active, It's sexuallycomplete, an unquestioning acceptance of limitless' resources. Sexual

mythology of traditionalverities.
There's a reason that he's always being
described as an "old-style movie star."
The heterosexist traditions they celebrate even when by default-include
homosexu?iity as, at best, nonexistentor, more likely, a negative exposure.
Bull Durham is unique among contemporary variants on the buddy film
as a hotbed of sexual activity-uponcloser inspection, you'll find the allmale genre surprisingly incapable but
one without a, whiff of homoerotic
possibility beyond that signal Oscar
Mayer, which never reappears. The
two overt references to homosexuality
in the Costner oeuvre are even morediscouraging. A fatally unstable homosexual of the psycho/fuck me! variety
is the plot device in No Way Out, andBull Durham contains Costner's single disgusted swipe at "looking likea fruit."
Instead, you get a ,gold-mine heterosexist fantasy: a world without real
people as homos. It's a key aspect of thenerve Costner seems to have struck wellbeyond the realm of USDA Grade A
hunkdom. In his own ingenuous way,
he's like a '90s answer to the recall
machine sending Schwarzenegger to hellin Total Recall Straight down the line,
Costner's films are the realization of
every pmdhood fantasy in the butch boy
curriculum. The metaphors may get a litde mixed in the cops-and-robbers fantasy of The Untouchables---the heroes ride
horses (into machine guns) and are costumed by Georgio Amlani for just a dashof latent possibility-but beyond that, it's
spy games in No Way OuJ-replete withhigh-seas rescues, kept women andSoviet spies-<>r baseball eternal, twice.
. Enter Dances With Wolves. Costneris again irresistibly unifonned, this time
as a,decorated civil War veteran posted,by request, to the Army's farthest fron- 'tier. He is absorbed into the local Siouxtribe, learns their ways and takes a wife
(but she's a childhood Sioux captive
with a white-girl's features and a whitegirl's slightly bouffant hairdo, so we
don't get into anything as unwhite as
miscegenation-noneof the other
women even come on to the handsome'stranger), He is fmally pursued by his
own race as a traitor run to the redmen. The order of fantasy you're talking
about is defmed in the film's opening
sequence, when Costner attempts sui"•cide by riding the length of a ConfederIt's a. choice that asks a lot of aate barricade in filII fire. For all the ,central character,; and •the respOnsibiliRebel reputation for marksmanship, nei- ties are extended in Dances With
