1. "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times." So
Dickens said, and we will take this as our jumping-off point for
our next discussion on the best and worst of 1992. What's worth
reading? What's worth burning? Come with your lists and leave
with everyone else's. Also to be discussed will be the "auto-buy"
list survey recently posted to Usenet. [-ecl]
2. Well, friends and neighbors, we'll start out the new year with
another "Survivors" fest. Since each story is self-contained in
the wonderful way BBC series run, you really can jump into _T_h_e
THE MT VOID Page 2
_S_u_r_v_i_v_o_r_s at any point and find it is pretty compelling stuff. The
story is of Britain trying to pull itself back together after an
epidemic has killed all but about 10,000 people. Last fest we got
our first look at how the urban areas are rebuilding and coping
with disease, but of course the little societies set up there had
their own problems with a few power-hungry people. I have no idea
where our group of survivors is going in the next three episodes
and don't want to know until January 7 at 7 PM at the Leeperhouse.
Call for directions if you are interested in this solid science
fiction series. You'll find no ray guns and no space ships, but
you will find good writing and an exciting story.
3. We are back with the money-saving tips you all subscribe for.
Well, gang, this is your promised reminder that you can save money
on new calendars for the upcoming year by putting up May's calendar
from last year and then waiting until the last week of January to
buy your replacement calendar. It is always true that January
starts on the same day as the previous May did and both have
thirty-one days. So if you haven't written all sorts of useless
stuff like your Aunt Jenny's phone number all over your last May's
calendar, you can use it again. Right now it is a seller's market
on 1993 calendars, but by the end of January, 1993 calendars will
be back down to a reasonable price.
Another way you can save money this season is to insist on buying
items for the marked price. That may not sound like it will save
you a whole packet, but you have to realize the television
generation is starting to run the world and you are seeing more and
more items marked at prices like ".85" cents. There is now a
substantial part of the population who think that "$.85", "85
cents", and ".85 cents" all mean the same amount of money. I have
seen things marked as ".85 cents" at my grocery and at the local
branch of McDonalds. And if something is marked at a price, you
can legally insist on getting the item at that price. It is just
one of the side benefits of living in one of the few countries of
the world where the locals do not know their own currency.
Apparently MTV is not pushing its viewers to know that ".85" is not
the same thing as "85". Not this season anyway.
Along the same lines it also occurred to me this Christmas season
that nobody in this country actually knows what a reindeer looks
like. Every Christmas you see a multitude of representations of
Santa and his reindeer. And they always look like North American
deer. Gang, the North American deer is not built as a beat of
burden. A _r_e_a_l reindeer is a much more compact and stocky animal,
not nearly so cute. It is smaller but looks a lot like a moose.
It really is used to pull sleighs, as the name indicates. But
somewhere way back somebody started putting North American-style
deer in front of Santa's sleigh. And everybody has been showing
them that way ever since, without looking up or questioning what a
reindeer looks like. Is it any wonder Galileo had so much trouble
THE MT VOID Page 3
against entrenched ignorance?
So if you are going to decorate with reindeer, save your money.
Unless you can get them for .85 cents.
4. The Garden State Horror Writers will be having a business
meeting, discussions, etc., at the Monmouth County Library in
Manalapan on Saturday, January 9, 1993, from 9 AM to 4:30 PM. They
are apparently expanding to include all writers, not just horror
writers, and the public is invited. This is *not* a science
fiction or horror convention, however, but aimed more at current
and aspiring writers. [-ecl]
5. Another update on discussion book availability: _S_t_e_e_l _B_e_a_c_h by
John Varley is available at the Old Bridge and Monmouth County
(Headquarters) libraries. _W_e_s_t _o_f _E_d_e_n by Harry Harrison is
available at the Monmouth County (Headquarters, Extension, Eastern,
and Holmdel branches) and Old Bridge libraries. _A_r_i_s_t_o_i by Walter
Jon Williams is available at the Old Bridge library. _T_h_o_m_a_s _t_h_e
_R_h_y_m_e_r by Ellen Kushner is available at the Monmouth County
(Headquarters, Eastern, and Extension branches) library. _W_o_r_l_d _a_t
_t_h_e _E_n_d _o_f _T_i_m_e by Frederik Pohl is available at the Monmouth
County (Headquarters, Extension, and Eastern branches) and Old
Bridge libraries. _T_h_e _U_s_e _o_f _W_e_a_p_o_n_s by Iain Banks is available at
the Monmouth County )Extension branch) library. I keep forgetting
to look up the Sheffield. (Don't forget, the Drexler, Hogan,
Harrison, Kushner, Banks, and Sheffield are also available in
paperback.) [-ecl]

Heaven, as conventionally conceived, is a place so inane,
so dull, so useless, so miserable, that nobody has ever
ventured to describe a whole day in heaven, though plenty
of people have described a day at the seaside.

A book review by Evelyn C. Leeper
Copyright 1992 Evelyn C. Leeper
This is billed as the "long awaited sequel to _T_h_e _M_o_t_e _i_n _G_o_d'_s
_E_y_e." Some things aren't worth the wait.
This book has, so far as I can tell, nothing to recommend it
_e_x_c_e_p_t that it is the sequel to a popular novel. The plot is
contrived, the solution pat, and the characters flat. This is also
the most sexist (and heterosexist) book I have read in a long time.
A thousand years in the future all the secretaries and receptionists
are women (who wear skirts--we know this because the clothing and
appearance of every woman is described for the reader, while the men
could be globs wrapped in circus tents for all we are told about
them). The Navy does seem to have one woman officer, but everyone
uses the phrase "Navy men" to refer to any Navy unit. (They also
refer to someone as a "career woman," a phrase that one doesn't hear
even now, and seems unlikely to return.) The woman officer, by the
way, is shunted aside when the action begins, while the eighteen-
year-old heiress is allowed to tag along on what is at least a
quasi-military expedition. She does this by by batting her eyes and
stamping her feet, and then has a long discussion with the only
other female character of note about whether she should have sex
with her boyfriend, providing Niven and Pournelle an opportunity to
insert Heinleinesque speeches about sex and morality. All the women
in the book are someone's "love interest" and everyone is of course
heterosexual, and everyone assumes everyone else is as well. People
will still use condoms (although there are also pills--but I guess
all those implants are just a passing fad). Everyone drinks coffee
and many smoke tobacco. You'd think in a thousand years something
new would be discovered--neither of those were enormously popular a
thousand years ago. In fact, think about how different society was
a thousand years ago, and how different it would be in another
thousand. Niven and Pournelle seem to think it would be like the
1950s with spaceships. Except for the politics, which are from the
1980s--the Arab Liberation Organization (ALO) and bomb-throwings on
New Ireland. Arabs still hate Jews (apparently), and as much as I
am a pessimist about the Middle East, even this seems unlikely
without Israel to fight over in 3080 or whenever. Several authors
and philosophers are quoted, but none are from after 1992. (Try not
quoting anything written in the last thousand years for a while and
you'll see how unlikely this is.) There's also the "Crazy Eddie"
references, which to West Coasters may be okay, but here in the New
York area, all they conjure up are images of the stereo dealer named
that who was a staple on television for years. I don't know if this
is intentional, but it's annoying as hell.
In case you haven't figured it out, I do _n_o_t recommend this
book. In "Niven's Laws" he says, "It is a sin to waste the reader's
time." This book constitutes a major sin.
HOFFA
A film review by Mark R. Leeper
Copyright 1992 Mark R. Leeper
Capsule review: Danny DeVito's film is not so
much a biography of Jimmy Hoffa as a spectacularly
illustrated dossier. DeVito, with the aid of a David
Mamet screenplay, tells us that behind the forceful,
ambitious public image of Hoffa was a man who was
ambitious and forceful. Rating: 0 (-4 to +4).
Something is missing in Danny DeVito's _H_o_f_f_a. It is not the
budget and it is not that the budget seems wasted. There is a lot
of money on the screen in _H_o_f_f_a. The film has an expensive star
with a terrific make-up job (when I first saw the trailer and saw
the face on the screen, I though "Hoffa" first and it took a beat to
two to recognize it was Jack Nicholson I was looking at). The film
also has spectacular action scenes of an acre of strikers in a melee
with an acre of strike breakers. But what is missing and what is
missed is a human behind the public face of Hoffa. What this film
says about Hoffa, the man, is that he cusses and drinks coffee.
Just about everything else about him in this film you could find in
a good encyclopedia. That is, everything that is true in the film.
In an afterword to this review I will give a few facts that do not
square with this fictionalized version of the professional life of
Jimmy Hoffa. There are probably other major deviations from the
truth in this film.
As the film opens, Hoffa (played by Nicholson) is at a roadside
diner with his longtime friend Bobby Ciaro (played by Danny DeVito
outdoing the major role Spike Lee gave himself in _M_a_l_c_o_l_m _X).
Together they are waiting for the arrival of a third party. As they
wait Ciaro remembers their long career together. They meet when
Hoffa is a young man preaching the evangel of the union. Ciaro soon
learns that his new acquaintance is happily willing to break the law
and to hurt whomever he has to for the sake of organizing labor.
While DeVito's character never finds love and looks for one-night
stands, DeVito the director here finds his own true love--the
overhead shot. Through much of the rest of the film DeVito carries
on his torrid love affair with overhead shots. DeVito and overhead
shots seem inseparable until in the last third he has a quick affair
with artistic scene transitions.
DeVito's infatuation with overhead shots and artistic scene
transitions notwithstanding, he does show some nice visual sense.
One gets the impression that Hoffa (like the other enigmatic anti-
hero of this film season, Dracula) rarely ventures forth in the
daytime and then only when it is heavily overcast. This gives us a
dismal recreation of Detroit. Hoffa comes off as a creature of the
Hoffa December 25, 1992 Page 2
night more than willing to deal with the underworld if it suits the
purposes of the union. Since we see almost none of Hoffa's personal
life and little positive in his professional life, we are
understandably ambivalent as to the fate of the union leader. Hoffa
seems likable only when he is verbally tying knots in Robert Kennedy
(played by Kevin Anderson). Kennedy, as you might guess, comes off
less than favorably in this film.
DeVito's _H_o_f_f_a is sometimes well-photographed and sometimes
not. But its biggest failure is in getting us to care what happens
to Jimmy Hoffa. My rating is a 0 on the -4 to +4 scale.
Afterword (with minor spoiler): Jimmy Hoffa disappeared on
Wednesday, July 30, 1975. He expected a meeting at the somewhat
fancy restaurant, the Manchus Red Fox. It is thought he was meeting
a local crime figure. He arrived at the restaurant at about 2 PM.
After a half hour, he called his wife to tell her that the others
had failed to appear. At 2:45 PM or so he was seen in the parking
lot getting into a car with some other men. This is clearly not
events as shown in the film. Also, one might wonder why in the film
Bobby Ciaro chooses this day to remember his whole past with Hoffa.
