Excerpt:
"Without oil and without alternative energy sources, our civilization is doomed, within my son's lifetime, to crumble to pre-Industrial levels. If it must, it must, but I'd rather it went quietly than with a bang. I'd rather sit by candlelight with my son in a world grown suddenly slow and silent, than burn $40-a-gallon gasoline purchased with the blood of my boy.

"Will he grow up to live in a police state where even the mention of the Bill of Rights is a crime? Will it be a world where oral history, whispered history, is the only source of the truth? Will he know his father at all? Will this website get me removed to a re-education camp where my plastic-bag-wrapped skull will sink into the mud along with the millions of other useless eaters. I thank God my boy was born blond-haired and blue-eyed, as maybe that will save him one day. But I fear that day might arrive before he is old enough to remember me, and that he'll be raised by strangers who know nothing but hate."

In The Chaos Household

Last Night

Took the kid to the library today. He couldn't believe that he could take out more than one book at a time. Today he brought home a book about the 'Bermuda Triangle', and a fact book about sharks.

Started moving my butt about looking into accomodations in Las Vegas for the end of September. My parents used to visit Vegas a lot, starting back when having a last name that ended in a vowel was a useful thing. Wonder if the chocolate factory is still there? It specialized in liqueur-filled things - yum.

Kittens are doing well.

Hope to have the Links page updated in the next week (or so).

CTV To Run Uncensored

''The Osbournes''

The Osbournes will run uncensored on CTV on Tuesdays at 10 p.m., starting Sept. 17, the network has announced.

The reality show, which follows the antics of rocker Ozzy Osbourne, his manager wife Sharon and teenagers Kelly and Jack, has been a hit in the United States and on MTV Canada.

It has been running with "bleeps" to cover up foul language on MTV Canada, but Susanne Boyce, CTV president of programming, said all 10 episodes of Season 1 will run uncensored this fall.

"Some viewers will be surprised by how the Osbournes talk to each other, but coarse language is part of their world," she said in a statement today.

"It's used as they really use it. The heart of The Osbournes is their honesty. Their fights, their love for each other — and their language — is real."

Wayne Sterloff, vice-president MTV Canada, has said his audience demographic for the show is in the 12-17 range, and "we'd never run it without (bleeps)" to cover the family's profanity.

Although, he added, one would have to be "brain dead" not to figure out what is being said.

Commemorated On Stamp

Andy Warhol

Pop artist Andy Warhol will be remembered on a U.S. postage stamp next month.

Famed for his portraits of Marilyn Monroe and paintings of Campbell's soup cans, Warhol's career also included ventures in design, photography, film, television, writing and publishing.

The commemorative stamp will be issued at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh on Aug. 9. It will be available across the country the following day.

The 37-cent stamp features his 1964 self-portrait, which is now in the collection of the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, where he was born.

Anna Kournikova

It couldn't have helped Anna Kournikova's slim-enough chances in her Wimbledon doubles match against the Williams sisters that she had a night of wild sex just before. Spies tell the London tabs that Kournikova and her boyfriend, Enrique Iglesias, were up until 4 a.m. having a raucous romp in their Four Seasons hotel room before Saturday's match. The "moaning and screams" were so loud, managers "had to send someone up to their room to tell them to keep it down."

Hitting the Road

Springsteen & E Street Band

The Boss will soon be back on stage to recapture some of the "Glory Days" with his old buddies from the E Street Band.

Bruce Springsteen will take his band back on the road next month for the first time in two years, kicking off a world tour in his home state with a show set for Aug. 7 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, his publicist announced on Wednesday.

He and the band are slated to play 39 shows in 39 U.S. cities plus seven more dates in Europe through the end of the year. Next year, they venture to Australia and back to Europe before returning to the United States for a series of shows in major cities through the summer of 2003.

The tour marks the first in two years by Springsteen and the E Street Band, including saxophonist Clarence Clemons, guitarist Steve Van Zandt and drummer Max Weinberg.

Tickets for Springsteen's the first 12 dates start going on sale July 14, with all seats going for $75, organizers said.

The Stones and Springsteen will overlap again this fall, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and company hitting the road Sept. 3 for a 32-city tour that roughly coincides with that band's 40th anniversary.

Commercial Or ''Sponsor Message''?

PBS

More and more, viewers tuning in to noncommercial public TV are wondering if they switched to the wrong channel, confronted with sponsor "messages" that look an awful lot like ads.

Wednesday morning, a Capitol Hill committee is expected to quiz PBS president-CEO Pat Mitchell and Assn. of Local Public TV Stations president-CEO John Lawson on the issue, among other matters.

PBS is adamant that it's well within the bounds set by the FCC and that it goes even further than the agency in dictating what's OK. For one, the plug can't be longer than 15 seconds.

Still, underwriters of PBS programming have plenty of room to play, particularly in a marketing age dominated by subtle imagery. There might not be that much variance between an ad developed for a commercial network and a spot developed for public TV.

Consumer advocates have long complained about the creeping commercialization of public broadcasting and the proliferation of sponsor spots.

In addition to national spots attached to PBS programs, public TV stations often carry local spots.

Any hint of advertising on public TV has long been a hot topic in Washington. Last fall, the FCC raised eyebrows when voting to allow public TV stations to carry ads on extra digital channels. Once the transition to digital is complete, broadcasters will have their primary signal as well as up to six ancillary channels.

PBS


PBS in LA (KCET) is running commercials, for all intents & purposes, in spite of their fine whine. Perhaps they can offer some cheese & crackers for their next 'fundraising', instead of reruns of John Tesh.

Working For Bill, Again

Jim Kennedy

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has an early birthday present for her husband — she's giving him her communications director, Jim Kennedy.

Although the ex-President won't celebrate his big day until next month, Kennedy is moving to New York this week to replace Julia Payne, who currently fills that role.

It's a reunion for Kennedy and Bubba, who worked together during Clinton's scandal-plagued White House days, and his former spokesman couldn't be happier.

"For more than 20 years, I have had the honor of working for some of the finest public servants in our history, and I thank God for the opportunity to keep doing that," Kennedy told The News' Ken Bazinet.

Cancels 4 European Concerts

Travis

The Scottish band Travis said Wednesday it canceled four European concerts after drummer Neil Primrose was seriously injured in a swimming pool accident.

Primrose was knocked unconscious and fractured one of his vertebrae when he dived into a shallow swimming pool at the band's hotel in Belfort, France, on Sunday as they celebrated the end of a week of appearances at European festivals, the band's official Web site said.

"Early indications suggest that Neil has sustained a fracture on one of his vertebrae and he is still in hospital in France undergoing further tests," Travis said in a statement.

"We wish to apologize to all our fans for any inconvenience caused but hope you will join us in wishing Neil a full and speedy recovery."

Primrose was quoted Wednesday as telling the Scottish Sun newspaper from his hospital bed that he was fortunate to be alive.

In The Closet?

Najeh Davenport

The Green Bay Packers' Najeh Davenport committed the foulest of fouls in a young coed's dorm room closet, Miami police say. Cops claim Davenport broke into a Barry University dorm early April 1 and crept into one of the bedrooms. When the occupant was awakened by a strange noise, she found the 6-foot-2, 248-pound fullback squatting in her closet and defecating in her laundry basket. Davenport, whose lawyer maintains his innocence, could get 15 years in prison.

Old Master Peter Paul Rubens Sets Record

''Massacre Of The Innocents''

''The Massacre of the Innocents'' by Rubens

A long-lost painting by Flemish Old Master Peter Paul Rubens set a world record on Wednesday, sold for a whisker short of $77 million.

"It is the most expensive painting ever sold at auction in pounds sterling," a spokeswoman for auction house Sotheby's told Reuters.

The Massacre of the Innocents was sold to London-based oriental manuscripts dealer Sam Fogg who was in the sale room on a mobile phone, bidding on behalf of an unnamed private collector who finally paid $76.5 million for the picture.

Before the sale Sotheby's had valued the elaborate and gory painting, which languished misattributed for more than two centuries to Rubens' follower Jan van den Hoecke, at up to six million pounds.

The work, described by experts as in mint condition, was probably painted in 1610 shortly after Rubens' return from eight significantly formative years traveling and painting in Italy for the Duke of Mantua.

With luminous colors and struggling and intertwined bodies of women, soldiers and babies, the record breaking picture is also significant as it marks the dawn of the Baroque period in Northern Europe.

Unauthorized Biography

Jerry Seinfeld

Jerry Oppenheimer, author of "Seinfeld: The Making of an American Icon," admits his book will likely wipe the smile off the comedian's public face.

Among Oppenheimer's allegations:

Seinfeld was once heavily into Scientology. Oppenheimer says that "from the late '70s to the early '80s," he lived by the controversial teachings of L. Ron Hubbard, currently promoted by the likes of Tom Cruise and John Travolta."He thought it would help his career," says Oppenheimer. "He even tried to lure friends into it."

Though Seinfeld has acknowledged dabbling in Hubbard's books and Eastern religious thought, his spokeswoman, Elizabeth Clark, says: "Jerry was never affiliated with Scientology. He's Jewish."

He can be sensitive — and insensitive. Oppenheimer, who says he has unearthed some of Jerry's hitherto unknown girlfriends, quotes a college lover named LuAnne as being moved by the spectacle of him in the library, "crying and all balled up."

Oppenheimer says friends were "quite surprised" when the "normally cautious" 39-year-old comic started dating Shoshanna Lonstein, then 17.

Oppenheimer devotes no less than three chapters to his romance with Jessica Sklar Nederlander, who was married when they met. Jerry can read them and wince when books reach stores on Aug. 6.

Show Starts 4 Aug

Anna Nicole Smith

Anna Nicole Smith is taking on Ozzy Osbourne and his foul-mouthed family in her own reality TV show.

"I'm doing it because I've been stuck in my house so long because of the litigation," she said. "It was time to get out."

The former Playmate and Guess? jeans model is best known for her court battles over the fortune of her late husband, J. Howard Marshall. She won $88 million from Marshall's estate, but the case is tied up in appeals.

Bathed in a pink spotlight — her favorite color — Smith sat stroking her black poodle, Sugar Pie, as she told the Television Critics Association on Tuesday how cameras film her from the time she gets up to the time she goes to bed.

Smith's attorney, Howard K. Stern, her 16-year-old son, Daniel, and her personal assistant, Kim, also are featured on the half-hour series that begins Aug. 4 on E! Entertainment.

"I'm pretty nervous," said Smith, who often asked reporters to repeat questions because she didn't understand them.

Man With An Opinion

Larry Hagman

While John Henry Williams is proving to be a very nasty chip off the old block of the late legend Ted Williams by trying to freeze his dad's body, he's not the only one with strange ideas about what should happen when we fall off the twig. Larry Hagman, who has had a liver implant himself, was talking to Baird Jones the other night about staging a Webster Hall function for Larry's pet charity, the Transplant Games, in which people with foreign body parts compete in Olympic-style events. "When I die, I want my friends to eat me," Hagman confided. "I want to be fed through a wood chipper, be spread over a wheat field, then have a cake baked from the crop for all my pals to munch on." He'd also like some pot to be put into the mix, "because it makes people so much less violent than booze."

Discovery Confirmed

PT 109

The undersea explorer who discovered the Titanic announced Wednesday that he has found PT-109, the torpedo boat commanded by John F. Kennedy during World War II.

Robert Ballard said the wreck is in 1,200 feet of water in the South Pacific, near the Solomon Islands, where the boat went down in 1943 after being hit by a Japanese destroyer.

The Navy said that based on the location and type of weaponry found, the wreck is probably that of the famous vessel.

Ballard said the wreck, which was found in May, will be left where it is.

Eventually, the site might become part of Ballard's planned network of underwater museums accessible over the Internet. But he said it would probably be years before that happens, given the technology required.

The 11 surviving crewmen clung to the slowly sinking bow, then swam to a small island. Kennedy towed an injured crewman to shore by swimming with a strap from the man's lifejacket in his teeth.

The future president was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal and a Purple Heart. The episode was dramatized in a 1963 movie.

Old Skull



Scientists unveiled on July 10, 2002 the skull of what they called the earliest member of the human family so far discovered, dating back six or seven million years to a period in evolution about which virtually nothing is known. The skull, featured in the journal Nature, was discovered last year by an international team of palaeoanthropologists working in Chad, Central Africa . Nature's palaenontology editor said the skull "is arguably the most important fossil discovery in living memory, rivaling the discovery of the first 'ape-man' 77 years ago".

''Perhaps I am too cynical, but I believe there is a separate class of people in this country called Too Rich to Go to Prison. With the peerless John Ashcroft at the helm of the Justice Department, I don't think any of the now-infamous CEOs need to lose sleep over the prospect. It's not exactly like Bobby Kennedy going after Jimmy Hoffa.

Surgery In D.C.

Bob Barker

Game show host Bob Barker had surgery Wednesday to ease discomfort from an enlarged prostate.

"The procedure went exactly as planned without complications," said Dr. Michael Manyak, who performed the operation at the George Washington University Hospital.

Barker, 78, has been host of "The Price Is Right" for 30 years. Last year, he signed on to continue as the show's host and executive producer through 2006.

Barker began his national television career more than 40 years ago as host of the game show "Truth or Consequences."

The Guinness Book of World Records named him television's "Most Durable Performer" for appearing on 3,524 consecutive episodes of "Truth or Consequences," and "Most Generous Host in Television History" for doling out $55 million in prizes during his career. CBS says he has now awarded more than $200 million in prizes.

Serial Philanderer Moves On

Giuliani

Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani agreed on Wednesday to pay his estranged wife, TV personality Donna Hanover, $6.8 million as part of a divorce settlement reached after contentious negotiations to formally end their 16-year marriage.

Both parties had filed for divorce. Giuliani charged Hanover with "cruel and inhuman treatment" in October 2000, while Hanover struck back with the same claim the following June, citing adultery and his publicized relationship with girlfriend Judith Nathan.

The settlement was announced just as their divorce trial was set to begin before Judge Judith Gische, who had allowed the lawyers a recess to complete details of the settlement.

The couple separated in May 2000 after Giuliani's relationship with girlfriend Nathan became public knowledge.

Funeral Held in England

John Entwistle

Family, friends and surviving members of the iconic British rock band The Who attended the funeral of virtuoso bass player John Entwistle on Wednesday at a rural church.

Guitarist Pete Townshend, vocalist Roger Daltrey and drummer Kenny Jones, who replaced Keith Moon after his death in 1978, attended the service at St. Edward's Church in Stow-on-the-Wold.

Entwistle, who died June 27 in Las Vegas, was now "reunited with Keith up there making great music," the Rev. Colin Wilson said at the church, 60 miles northwest of London.

A large crowd of onlookers gathered outside the church to see Entwistle's coffin carried inside, followed by members of his family and his girlfriend, Lisa Pritchard-Johnson.

The Who, founded in London in the early 1960s, was one of the stalwarts of the British music invasion of America, along with the Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Animals and Kinks.

Entwistle's fingers raced across his bass frets, but he stood stoically on stage in contrast to hyperactive Townshend and boisterous Daltrey. Augmenting the rhythm section with wild drummer Moon, who overdosed on sleeping pills in 1978, Entwistle anchored The Who's dynamic sound.

The Who retired in 1982 but reunited and toured frequently. They gave a rousing performance at last year's "Concert for New York," which raised money for the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Entwistle was the first band member to have solo success with his 1971 "Smash Your Head Against The Wall" and toured separately with his own group, the John Entwistle Band.

In Memory

John Wallach

John Wallach, a foreign correspondent whose views of Middle East violence inspired him to start a camp for teenagers from warring lands, died Wednesday of lung cancer. He was 59.

Wallach died at his home in Manhattan, according to his family.

As the foreign editor for Hearst Newspapers from 1968 to 1994, Wallach broke several stories related to the Iran-Contra affair and the CIA's covert mining of Nicaraguan waters. He received the National Press Club's highest honor.

But it was for his work with Seeds of Peace that he was awarded the United Nations' UNESCO Peace Prize in 1996 and was honored by Jordan's King Hussein with the Legion of Honor of the Hashemite Kingdom.

"With the Seeds of Peace, John pierced the future, because he concluded that today's adults were not succeeding in finding a peace process. And he thought maybe it'll be the next generation that'll make it," said CNN commentator Bernard Kalb, who covered the State Department alongside Wallach.

The 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center convinced Wallach to give up journalism and propose that Israeli, Egyptian and Palestinian youths meet at a camp on neutral soil - the United States.

"I was disturbed by the dehumanization of the Palestinians," Wallach, the son of German Jews, told students at Middlebury College in Vermont in 1999. "After all, the Jews were dehumanized by the Nazis. That made it easier to kill them."

The Israeli and Egyptian governments and officials of the Palestine Liberation Organization agreed to Wallach's plan and each summer since 1993, the Maine woods have welcomed hundreds of Arab and Israeli teenagers who meet their so-called enemies.

Seeds now has 1,600 graduates from about 20 violence-torn lands, including the 165 current participants.
