The music of Thin Lizzy throbs through the jukebox in the dark, smoky bar as Carwasher Bill completes his play list with $1. His identical twin brother, Taylor Rental Wayne, receives his first beer of the day with a nod and a couple of crinkled $1 bills passed to Chrissa Burney, the bartender. Metro Sportz Bar is at 10402 N. Black Canyon Highway, near Metrocenter in Northwest Phoenix. Carwasher Bill raises his thumb up to her. She leans behind the bar to turn up the jukebox volume for him. He nods his head and smiles. The comer of the bar is where they are, the spot near the entrance that they fondly call the “crony comer.” The guys are here practically everyday from late morning to early evening, drinking, smok­ ing and socializing with the friends who live here. They are drinkers, and their lives revolve around this barroom. Some work, some don’t. Some by choice, some by accident. But, they all drink here. The beer glasses, bar stools and full ashtrays crowd up this comer, even though there are plenty of empty bar stools on the other end. A couple of these bar stools are occupied.

The penalties to be imposed against ASU are rela­ tively minor. While universities are normally allowed to contact potential recruits starting July 1, ASU must wait three weeks. The self-imposed penalty was offered by University officials in an attempt to avoid more severe punishment. The football program has been placed on one-year probation, during which the conference will review ASU to make sure it is complying with NCAA recruit­ ing rules. However, the team will still be eligible to play in bowl games during this period. Six violations were found by the conference. They were: • Dec. 1992- Jan. 1993: “Excessive contacts” made to a potential recruit by ASU coaches. ASU coaches made a total of four visits to the athlete's home over the period of one month, including a visit by head coach Bruce Snyder which lasted past midnight. Since that visit went over into another calendar day, it was count­ ed as two visits; • Jan. 9, 1993: Sandwiches were ordered and deliv­ ered to an ASU football player and a potential recruit at a hotel in Tempe. However, the sandwiches were paid for by an unknown person associated w ith the University, not the student host; • Spring 1993: A former assistant coach gave several items to the family of a potential recruit, including a coaching hat. several ASU T-shirts, and an ASU writ­ ing pad. This was classified as “improper inducement” by the conference; • Summ er 1993: In another case o f “im proper inducement,” the mother of a prospective recruit was contacted by an athletic representative and invited to watch a football game in a Sun Devil Stadium sky box; • Spring 1993: A former assistant coach purchased a meal for a friend of an ASU football player, which was declared to be an “extra benefit,”; • 1992-93: During the entire recruiting season, ASU football coaches called prospective recruits more than one time per week “on numerous occasions.” The NCAA prohibits more than one phone call a week. In addition to the self-imposed three-week penalty, ASU sent letters of reprimand to two athletic officials, including a former assistant coach. Letters of repri­ mand were also issued to the entire coaching staff, informing them of proper recruiting procedure. The penalties were accepted by the Pac-10 confer­ ence, and ASU received no other penalties other than a public censure and reprimand. ASU athletic officials would offer no comment other than a press release. In it, Athletic Director Charles Harris said that the punishment was “fair and reason­ able.” “It is an indication that we run a good, clean pro­ gram at Arizona State University,” he said. “We will take the appropriate steps to correct those things we have done wrong.” Snyder also expressed satisfaction with the decision, saying that ASU’s recruiting practices merely needed “fine tuning.” “This has been a challenging experience because no program that I’ve been associated with in my 32 years of coaching has been scrutinized this way,” Snyder said. “I pride myself in running the program within the spirit of the rules. The scrutiny does prove that Arizona State has a solid football program.” Although the University broke NCAA regulations, the investigation has gone no further than the confer­ ence, and ASU officials said the NCAA plans no action. “The conference prefers to handle these matters itself,” said intercollegiate athletics spokesman Doug Tammaro. Giuliano to head ASU Alumni Association Appointments temporary, no permanent head named B y D avid S trow S tate P ress Two weeks before he is scheduled to become Tempe’s mayor, Neil Giuliano will assume another post— interim head of ASU’s Alumni Association. Giuliano’s tenure as head of the association begins July 1. He will be inaugurated as mayor 14 days later. However, he insisted that handling both jobs will be no problem. “The mayor’s job is a part-time job,” Giuliano said.

He has also had experience within the alumni association— as director of constituent rela­ tions from 1988 to 1991. The search continues for a permanent head, howev­ er. Allen Price, associate vice president for university relations, said he is having conversations with the pri­ mary candidate, who was not named. “It is clear, however, that we will not conclude those conversations one was or another in a time which allows for a smooth continuity of leadership,” Price added.

Giuliano was considered “uniquely qualified” for the post by Price. “Neil has strong communtiy relationship experience, has a working knowledge of the association and its chapters, and is well acquainted with the staff and the members of the board of directors,” Price said. However, Giuliano said he would not be making major changes in the association. “Since it’s a temporary position, I’m not going to be making any changes, really,” he said. “I’m basically being put in there to maintain the stability of the opera­ tions, and ensure that the organization functions effec­ tively for all of the functions we have coming up in the fall.” P age^ Tuesday, June 28, 1994 S tate P ress T im e apologizes for O .J. cover NEW YORK (AP) — Time magazine apologized to readers for featuring a darkened version of O J. Simpson’s mug shot, saying it did not intend to offend anyone or imply guilt. E xplaining how M att M ahurin’s photo-illustration was chosen, Time Managing Editor James R. Gaines said in a full-page letter in the July 4 issue, which was released today: ‘‘I have looked at thousands of covers over the years and chosen hundreds." The magazine was widely chastised by media critics and members of the NAACP for the June 27 cover that sig­ nificantly darkened Simpson’s face. Gaines said that on the cover, the mug shot was “ subtly smoothed and shaped into an icon of tragedy.” He said the change “ lifted a common police mug shot to the level of art with no sacrifice to the truth.” “ First, it should be said (I wish it went w ithout saying) that no racial implication was intended, by Time or by the artist,” Gaines wrote. “ One could argue that it is racist to say that blacker is more sinister ... but that does not excuse insensitivity. To the extent that this caused offense to anyone, I deeply regret it. ‘‘Nor did we intend any imputation of guilt. We were careful to avoid that in our story, but for at least some people, this cover picture was worth several thousands words.” The June 27 covers of Newsweek (left) and Time (right), taken from O.J. Simpson's book­ ing photo. Newsweek credited the photo to the Lo s Angeles Police Department, while Time classified theirs as a “photo illustration." Time apologized in its July 4 issue for the cover, which drew fire from critics from across the nation.

Burney nods and turns to the yellowed, aged cash register that still has a “Kiss me, I’m Irish” sticker on it from St. Patrick’s Day. The music is loud, but it doesn’t drown out the rough-cut-Captain-Black-tobacco-pipe-smoking voice of Hello Baby Wayne. “Oh, Hello Baby! Yupper!” he yells, before placing the pipe between his lips. “Yupper, hello!” chime in Bill and Wayne Pivacek as they toast their large mugs of Budweiser to the king of the Metro Sportz Bar. On his throne of wood-with-blue-velour seat-cover, Hello Baby Wayne Dorfner sits. His face is pink. It is always flushed. After a punch press accident'in 1973, his left hand has only three fingers remaining. The hand is covered by a soiled, beige nylon glove. His T-shirt is tucked into his brown pants, display­ ing his favorite football team, the Minnesota Vikings. His Phoenix Suns baseball hat is propped on his head never to be taken off except by Burney, who enjoys teasing from time to time. He takes his lighted pipe out of his mouth briefly only to take a small sip of his hour-long-lasting large mug of Bud Light and to tell Bill Pivacek that they need to do a “Scud missile” shot of peppermint schnapps. “We’ve got an air raid coming,” Dorfner announces. The owner, John A. Irwin, whisks by, gripping his cellular phone. His neatly-trimmed hair, mustache and pressed clothes seem out of place. But the regulars know he used to be one of them until he bought the bar a year ago. Dorfner exclaims his name and ambles over to him to speak about the basketball game coming up on Sunday. Irwin nods and goes in the back room, where he hibernates for awhile. Irwin said the bar is a home-like atmosphere for the regulars. “They’re all orphans. They’re single, live out here and have little or no family close by. This is the closest thing they have to family,” Irwin, 29, explains, adding that individually, they spend an average of $30 to $40 a day. “It’s not the family, because people choose it(drink­ ing alcohol) by their interests,” says Tony Bass, an out­ patient coordinator for Charter Hospital who is involved in self-help groups. “Whether it’s an addiction or not an addiction, people choose this type of family ¡through mutual interests. The mutual interest is drinking.” The music has slowed to “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers. It’s Dorfner’s choice. He leans Pipe in hand, L>u>>ner, has a laugh at the bar while awaiting on. Beer is the drink of choice at the Metro Sportz Bar. back a little to enjoy the soft music. Burney focuses on the newest customer, who is from out of town, and makes sure the bartender knows it. His glazed brown eyes stare intently at the petite brunette as he attempts to smooth his unkempt hair. “My name’s Michael, I’m from California,” he says, hoping it will trigger some interest out of her. “I t’s not the fam ily, because people choose it(drinking alcohol) by their interests,” says Tony Bass, an outpa­ tient coordinator fo r Charter Hospital who is involved in self-help groups. “Whether it's an addiction or not an addiction, people choose this type o f fam ily through mutual interests. The mutual interest is drinking.” Dorfner, who now occupies the comer between the twins, whispers quickly to them, spitting a little as he tries to stop convulsing in laughter. “Her headlights are showing.” He giggles to the twins, showing what little teeth he has left as he points to Burney’s chest. Taylor Rental Wayne Pivacek frowns, his mustache turning down. He leans over the bar to catch a glimpse, pressing his beer belly to the red vinyl that surrounds the bar. Carwasher Bill Pivacek shakes his longish, kinkybrown, curled hair and walks to the dart board to put some quarters in for a game. Dorfner giggles until Wayne Pivacek loses interest and Burney ignores him. He returns to sipping his beer and smoking his pipe, muttering “Hello Baby.” “It’s my nickname,” Dorfner says. “When people call here for Wayne, they ask for Hello Baby Wayne or Wayne at Taylor Rental.” “Hello Baby” was coined by Michael Crawford, who used to own a bar that Irwin says he, the regulars and Dorfner used to frequent. “If people walked in, Michael would scream across the bar, ‘Hey! Hello, Baby! How are you doing?,’ and then Wayne would start it going,” says Irwin. “He picked that up and starting yelling it all the time. Then Michael withered out of the scene. It became Wayne’s kind of de facto trademark.” Dorfner, 43, retired from his job three years ago. He moved to Phoenix six years ago. “Thirteen years of working is long enough for me,” he adds. He gets his money from retirement benefits and the governm ent, w hich both send him m onthly checks. He worked for an insurance company that took him to court three different times. “They lost all three tim es and they had to pay,” he says. D orfner is at the Metro Sportz Bar practi­ cally every day, yet he says he is not an alco ­ holic. “I ’ve taken a day off. I can do that once in a w h ile,” D orfner says betw een drinks. “But, everybody expects me to be around. I ’m like a placemat. I kid you not, when that front door opens up, they know I’m there, right quick.” “I expect him to be here,” says Burney, 23. “I t’s bad, but I do. I ’m just used to it.” “I can justify hang­ ing around in bars,” says Bass. “T hat’s where all the friends are, but that’s the same justification as ‘All my friends are in a crack house, I’ll go stay in a crack house.’” D orfner d o esn ’t own a car. He lives close enough to the bar, and a refill as Lars Hilburst looks walks everywhere he goes. O ccasionally, he gets a ride. “When I leave, I leave. Nobody knows,” he says, adjusting his hat. “Sometimes I don’t even say good­ bye. I’ll call up to say, goodnight, see you tomorrow, just to make sure everything is hunky- dory.” Two years ago, he roamed the area surrounding Metrocenter all day, popping his head into each bar for a drink and an acknowledgment. Now, he’s reduced his number to three or four bars, his main one being the Metro Sportz Bar. “His entire life revolves around this place,” Irwin says. “If I ever wanted to pull the plug on him, 86 him. It would lose his reason for existence.” Irwin sighs, rubbing his chin, trying to think of how to explain his best customer. “A man unique upon himself in which every bar has one,” he says. “He’s almost like, for lack of a better word, a fixture here. He’s basically harmless, about half the time irritating, half the time trying to help and 2 per­ cent of the time, helpful. “You’ve got your beer tap, you’ve got your call shelf, you’ve got your Coke gun, you’ve got your Wayne. He’s part of the premise. I wouldn’t say he’s quite the ‘norm,’ but every bar has got one.” Dealing with regulars on a daily basis can have its toll. Irwin has such days, but knows how to deal with them. “You sit back there for 12 to 16 hours, you can get a little testy,” he explains, leaning back in his chair and smiling. “I’ll just sit back there with them and I’ll bum them all night long and they don’t know it. The impor­ tant thing is, I know it. I can mess with that gray matter all day long and really entertain myself. “Occasionally, you’ll find someone else come in who will actually understand what I’m saying and sit there and crack up. It’s fun.” Burney has been bartending in the same area for three years. She has known Dorfner and the rest of the regulars since she first got behind the bar. “When I began a while ago, he used to pretty much irritate me,” she says of Dorfner. “Now, after I found out what he’s been through, I know him better and kind of got used to him with the attitude he has and why he does what he does.” Before he moved here, Dorfner lived in Minneapolis with his wife of six years. He says a messy divorce landed him in jail for a few days and a large amount of money to pay. “That wasn’t pretty,” he says, shaking his head. “She tried to get me out of doing time, but it was too late.” He explains the experience of standing outside and witnessing through his window his wife having sex with another man. “I’m going, ‘What am I going to do? Should I go in raise holy hell point blank? Or should I be nice?’ I was nice. “I had to sit there in the cold, minus 40-degree weather with no coat. I watched her doing it. Pretty sad, huh? I loved her.” Before moving to Phoenix, Dorfner stopped drink­ ing. He says he was dry for 18 months. “Two weeks before my birthday, I went off the wagon,” he says proudly, holding his mug with his right hand as in a toasting gesture. He’s been that way ever since. Burney dims the lights as 6 p.m. rolls around. The customers are so occupied with conversation and their beer that they barely notice. The only thing they note is that Happy Hour is on for one more hour. The jukebox is now playing the Eagles** The five televisions displayed around the bar are tuned to ESPN. Funny car racing is on. The screens have one thick vertical line and one thin horizontal line running through them, distorting the pic­ ture. The bright yellow word “mute” is showing on the lower left hand comer. No one has told Irwin about the reception, so it goes unchanged. The other regulars pile in after work. Jeff Hanelly, 33, drops in for his one beer of the night. His wife Shari, who usually joins him, is absent. His long, shag­ gy light brown hair can’t cover his red eyes. “I came in here more when I was employed,” he says, raising his voice and glancing around the bar. Irwin responds to the comment by telling Bumey to get Hanelly a beer and put it on his tab. Hanelly and Irwin have been friends for years. Irwin was the best man for Hanelly’s wedding a year ago. Hanelly speaks of when he proposed to his wife at a Rush concert two years ago, and how he had the entire crowd cheering him on as she said yes. He yells “Hello Baby!” while rolling his eyes and laughing. Dorfner ignores him. “I have a 131 IQ, I don’t find this particular brand of redundancy appealing,” Hanelly says under his breath, blowing Marlboro smoke out his nose. “It can be nerve racking.” Irwin says, “Whereas I’m entertained by these peo­ ple, Jeffs tongue has a bit more bite to it.

Usually, he says, it doesn’t get out of hand. “Most people play it off,” Dorfner says. “I just do my thing and that’s it. They don’t give me a hassle.” “There have been times when I really wanted to kill the guy,” Irwin admits, speaking of the time when he sat on the same side of the bar as Dorfner. “He didn’t do anything intentionally. It just happens. It’s the way he is, h e ’s H ello Baby Wayne.” The majority of his friends like him for the way he is. Two years ago, he met some visitors from Dallas in the bar. They enjoyed his company enodgh to make sure they visit every year for his birthday. “They just liked me,” Dorfner says. “They can’t get over me. I’m a party animal.” “It’s true,” says Bumey, nodding her head. “Believe it or not, a lot of people come here just to see him.” The regulars sit at the “crony comer” at the end o f the bar. They sit together, laughing and discussing the interesting news and gossip o f the day. “They do things outside o f the bar to o ,” Irw in says. “Whatever it is they do, if they do it well, they come celebrate back at the bar. When they do it poorly, they come console them selves back at the bar. One way or the next, they com e back to the bar.” “I consider myself a fix­ ture. Everyday, the people bring me h ere,” Bill Pivacek, 34, says with a wide sm ile and a toast with his beer. “Because denial and justification are such big aspects of the disease of alco­ holism.” explains Bass. “One can really build up that defense mechanism and say, ‘But all my friends are there,’ I can twist that logic any number of ways.” “On my birthday, I shot pool half-drunk, on league night,” he says, recalling one of his most recent favorite moments. “I still won three out of four.” Bumey says she feels a bit of affection for the regu­ lars. “Recently, I was at the hospital when my grand­ mother died,” she says, brushing her brown curls out of her eyes. “They gave me cards and support. I wouldn’t have gotten that if I didn’t work here.” Dorfner says he doesn’t keep beer at home. “I drink here. That’s it,” he says, adding that if he had a wife people would hardly see him at the bar unless he was “They do things outside o f the bar too,” Irwin says. “Whatever it is they do, if they do it well, they come cele­ brate back at the bar. When they do it poorly, they come console themselves back at the bar. One way or the next, they come back to the bar.” —John A. Irwin owner of Metro Sportz Bar with her. “I can give it up. I can have a couple beers and go home to my wife.” “I hear that everyday,” says Bass. “All this stuff is common among alcoholics and ttie question I ask is do normal people have to have a relationship to quit drink­ ing?” , i Dorfner claims that he is not a slave to alcohol. “I can just not come here, really. I can do what I want to do. But, can you imagine if I didn’t go to a bar for a week? Hello.” “If I choose my lifestyle then define my lifestyle around an alcoholic who drinks a lot at home,” Bass explains, “then what I can do is set up my lifestyle where I don’t drink at home. That’s sort of the alcoholic logic.” i i It’s about 9 p.m. The bar is i>egi,nning,to pick up business. The twins leave within 15 minutes of each other. Hello Baby Wayne disappears. The people from the restaurant a couple doors down have come in to shoot pool. Van H alen’s “You Really Got M e” is pounding through the jukebox. Bumey is rushing behind the bar with the new batch of customers’ orders. The phone rings. Bumey grabs it and sets it on her shoulder as she pours Bud Light out of the football-shaped tapper into a pitcher. “Y eah...T hanks, W ayne...G oodnight, see you tomorrow,” she says quickly, hanging up the phone as she rushes to serve the customers.

After all, Manahan was only named All-America after his junior season, played on ASU’s College World Series runner-up squad in 1990, ended his collegiate career with a .367 average, is one of scores of players from this school to turn professional and is on the cusp of joining the dozens of Sun Devils to make it to the major leagues. At any other college, his uniform number is retired and the stadium is named after him. Among ASU’s baseball alumni though, Manahan is just another face in the crowd. The 25-year-old second baseman made a return visit to the Valley when his team, the Calgary Cannons, Seattle’s Triple-A affiliate, recently played the Phoenix Firebirds at Scottsdale Stadium. By his own admission, Manahan’s season isn’t going well. He is only hitting .279, as opposed to last season when he opened eyes in the Seattle system hitting .309 at Calgary. “I’m having a very average year,” he said. “I haven’t had a hot streak yet. You need to do that at least one time, may two or three in a year - that’s what makes a season.” Manahan’s year also has been derailed by a injury to a rib muscle suffered when he took a poor slide in to second on a stolen base attempt, then got hit by the ball in the ribs for good measure. He was put on the dis­ abled list last week, but expects to come off it soon. When he gets healthy, Manahan can then try to regain the form which made him a contender for the Mariners’ second baseman job. Calgary manager, Steve Smith, says Manahan “will play someday, somewhere,” even if he doesn’t stay in the Seattle chain, a possibility since the Seattle system is loaded with middle infieluers. Wherever Manahan goes, however, he said he will always carry the lessons learned at ASU with him. When he first arrived at ASU fresh from Scottsdale Horizon High, he was intimidated by the program and MAKE AN IN V E S TM E N T IN Y O U R LIFETIME Other Cities Available MILL AVENUE TRAVEL 966-6300 Discounts Also Available To Faculty & Staff O rder your copy of The 1993-94 Sun Devil Spark Yearbook today!

Devoting business hours to what he reluctantly calls an autobiography, he tends to other affairs in his spare time. He might check out the flowers in Central Park or ride the Staten Island Ferry. He has been known to hang out at the Fulton Fish Market or simply to roam the city and admire the architecture. If you want to find Mitchell, here are some clues: he is the man with the hat and suspenders gazing skywards through binoculars; he is the man with the soft Southern accent discussing the Gypsy community; he is the man anxiously rubbing the top of his bare head, awed by details most New Yorkers are too busy to consider. “ Sometimes when I read about all these people with depression, depression, depression, I think, ‘... Don't you enjoy coffee in the morning?’ Even very minor things can be wonderful,” Mitchell, 86, said during a recent interview. “ There was a man on Staten Island. I admired him so much. He had a lot of trouble, but he took such plea­ sure out of life. He had a garden, he looked after the local cemetery and he took so much pleasure out of just living. That man had been through all kinds of terrible things, but he wasn’t an unhappy man by any means.” Mitchell’s office at The New Yorker is a small cor­ ner room, his chair squeezed between a desk and two filing cabinets. He has no word processor or fax machine, only an old manual typewriter. From the 1930s through the mid-1960s, Mitchell’s journeys through New York’s nooks and crannies unearthed a gaggle of bohemians, ancient mariners and assorted mountebanks who likely would have felt equally uneasy with modem technology. We meet Arthur Samuel Colbome, founder of the Safe and Sane Fourth of July movement. The Rev. Mr. James Jefferson Davis Hall was a street preacher who boasted “ the gutter is my pulpit and the roaring traffic is my pipe organ.” Joe Gould was the reputed author of an “ Oral History” 11 times longer than the Bible. “ Hundreds of thousands of words are devoted to the drunken behavior and sexual adventures of various pro­ fessional Greenwich Villagers in the ’20s,” Mitchell wrote of Gould’s opus. “ Here and there are rambling essays on such sub­ jects as the flophouse flea, spaghetti, the zipper as a sign of the decay of civilization, false teeth, insanity, the jury system, remorse, cafeteria cooking, and the emasculating effect of the typewriter on literature.” While it’s an old lament of journalists that even the best work winds up wrapped around the next day’s fish, Mitchell’s articles have enjoyed a more dignified fate. In 1992, Pantheon Books compiled much of his work into the 700-plus page Up in the Old Hotel. The Modem Library, which ordinarily concerns itself with the likes of Joyce and Flaubert, recently issued The Bottom of the Harbor, a collection of waterfront pieces. “ I have to tell you, an old friend of mine was Ralph Ellison. . . . He and I — there’s a certain age group where the Modem Library was an educator, a mentor,” Mitchell said. “ When Ralph’s Invisible Man was put out by the Modem Library, Ralph said, ‘My God, that’s where 1 started.’ And then, not long ago, the Modem Library called me and said they wanted to put me out. ... The feeling I have of being in there, the hell with the Pulitzer Prize. I ’m just telling you what the Modem Library meant to people of that period.” Mitchell’s articles were “ literary journalism” before the term existed. In fact, much of what he did can be likened to the very best of fiction. His w aterfront stories are as richly detailed as “ Moby Dick.” His profile of one Commodore Dutch, whose primary occupation was an annual gala in his honor, offers an eccentric that Dickens might have cre­ ated. The plot of Up in the Old Hotel, in which the owner of Sloppy Louie’s restaurant explores an aban­ doned hotel, suggests a comic turn of Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher. “ Almost all of the stories I worked on were not the stories I was supposed to do. They sent me to do a story on the fish market, instead of which this thing turns up with Louie,” Mitchell said. “ I’d be thinking, ‘My God, I’ve discovered something I couldn’t have found on my own.’” Mitchell is a native of Fairmont, N.C., who wanted to get into the family business of tobacco and cotton. But, as he likes to say, he just didn’t have “ the arith­ metic.” Instead, he began writing newspaper features while a student at the University of North Carolina.

What I enjoyed most about living home were the warehouses where the tobacco was being auctioned. There were blind blue singers and gospel singers and it was an exciting town to be in then, so I missed it. It was eerie, the similarities between the tobacco market and the fish market.” Although Mitchell did his best to stay out of his sto­ ries, they do reflect his own disillusionment. His pieces during the D epression have a sw eet, alm ost Chaplinesque innocence. By the ’50s, something had changed: communities were dying, ways of life disap­ pearing. ‘ ‘Most of what you buy nowadays, the outside is everything, the inside don’t m atter,” complains a retiree in the story Mr. Hunter’s Grave, published in 1956. “ Like those tomatoes you buy at the store, and they look so nice and shiny and red, and half the time, when you get them home and slice them, all that’s inside is mush, red mush. And the people are the same. You hardly ever see a son any more as good as his father.” Burdened by the standards set by his own stories and shaken by personal problem s he doesn’t discuss, Mitchell stopped publishing in the mid-’60s. He contin­ ues to work away at his “ autobiography,” or whatever he chooses to call it, but his byline no longer appears. “ I’ll tell you something, I was talking to a friend the other night, about, what do they call it, the information highway,” he said. “ And we were laughing. And I said, ‘There’s too much information already: The only information you get, when you’re a child, is the information you’re going to die. That’s the information we’re trying to hide. That’s the information highway.” He talks a little more, about the destruction of the environment, how his granddaughter has been reading his old articles, how writing saved his life. He then stops, rubs his forehead. “ Superhighway, do they call it? Information highway. “ Information highway.

An older player had to come over and tell the young infielder that this was Brock's way of saying hello. It was during Manahan’s sophomore season when he began to shine, thanks to an underrated skill of Brock’s - finding quality assistant coaches. “There was a hitting coach there nam ed Jeff Pentland and he taught me how to h it,’’ he said. “Without him, it would’ve been impossible.’’ Manahan was hitting about .270 halfway through the season when Pentland, now a coach in the Florida Marlins system, adjusted the position of his hands in his batting stance. Manahan caught fire and ended the sea­ son a few hits shy of .400. A career was born and Manahan knows exactly who to thank - Brock. When asked where he would be if he had never met Brock, Manahan said succinctly, “I wouldn’t be in baseball.” But he did meet Brock, and every hit and every fine Tri City Mobil is #1 in service for h undreds of A S U stu ­ dents, faculty and staff.

The actual process for making a film, according to Williams, is lengthy and expensive. From making the clay actors to the last scene, Good Friday took approximately one month to shoot, and five and a half months to finish in post­ production. The total production cost, from clay to screen, was $700. To com pletely ed it the film , Williams enrolled in a post-production class at Scottsdale Community College, then entered it in the SCC Film Festival. The first time he saw the completed ver­ sion of Good Friday was in the theater where the film competition was held. “It was g reat,” W illiam s said. “People laughed, but I was also looking at it crit­ ically.” During that time he heard about the Tempe Student Film Competition, held at the Valley Art Theatre, which he decided to enter. A $10 certificate at Balboa and a year-long free movie pass for the Valley Art were his bounty for first prize. Williams said he has received vary­ ing reactions to the controversial subject matter. But as long as there is a reaction, the filmmaker is not disappointed. “I think art should invoke some controverT u r n to W illiams page 17 Madwomen redefines madness B y E velyn S heinkopf S tate P ress Dialogues With Madwomen $$$$ (out of a possible 5 $) For thirty years Allie Light kept her answer to the question, “Where were you when Kennedy was shot?” a secret because of the stigma associated with mental illness. Today she is sharing her answer with the world. L ight, as an in -p atien t at San F rancisco's Langley P orter M ental Hospital, recalls seeing a man with the receiver of a phone dangling in his hand, running down the hall screaming, ‘The president is dead!” Her doctor instruct­ ed, “Pay no attention to him, he’s just hallucinating.” Light’s anecdote brings attention to questions that have surrounded mental illness and the mental health care system including the definition of insanity, the vicious sheath of stigma that surrounds it and the treatment of those who may or may not be insane. “I was always so afraid that some­ body would ask me, and I would have to say I was in a mental institution,” Light Photo by Allie Light HANNAH from Dialogues With Madwomen, starting Friday at the Valley Art Theatre. said. “Well, I was.” The creatio n of D ialogues With Madwomen is Light’s response to the “don’t tell” policy and societal shame that surrounds mental illness. With her husband Irving Saraf, Light presents the true stories of §even women who have experienced sdme form of mental illness, or as Light calls it, the T u r n t o M a d w o m e n , p a g e 12 Page 12 Tuesday, June 28, 1994 M adw om en__ C ontinued prom page 11. “dark side of the imagination.” Light, who wrote and directed the award-winning documentary (which won the 1994 Sundance Film Festival award for Freedom of Expression), includes her battle with major depression as well. A 28-year-old housewife in 1963, she voluntarily checked herself into an institution after being given depressants that only worsened her symptoms. Upon entering the facility she was told to take off her clothes and sit on an examining table. While being asked her medical history, Dr. Schwartz, her male psychiatrist asked, "Do you like to kiss your husband's penis?” With the recalling of such instances, we begin to see during the course of the film that these women are not necessarily “insane.” Rather, they have fallen victim to the circumstances of their lives and/or the mental health care system, recovered and survived. Through her retelling of the story, we learn that the depression was precipitated by her feelings of boredom and entrapment as a housewife caring for three small children. With the hindsight of the survivor, she has the ability to look at her former situation with humor and see the ironies. For example, Schwartz measures her recovery' by the successful preparation of a turkey and the completion of his assignment of mopping her kitchen floor. The documentary itself is not funny or light-hearted, but it is not a dry, gloomy series of case studies either. From the moment the women are introduced, the view­ er is absorbed into their world, seeing life through their eyes and becoming a part of the “dialogue.” Light brings the observer in through individual testi­ mony, archival footage of the unnecessary cruelties inflicted upon institutionalized women and dramatized scenes of the seven women’s dreams, fears and experi­ ences. She presents mental illness and recovery with wit and metaphor, two things she credits in the film for having helped her to survive. “Everything transcends what the reality of it is,” she says, talking about surviv­ ing. “You either go mad or you learn about metaphors.” One of these metaphors is used in showing the breakdown of R.D., who tells the story of trying to fit in at Stanford Law School as an A frican-A m erican woman. She takes a leave of absence to find herself. While living in a community near a hot spring, she is raped. In a haunting dramatization, Light relays this scene by focusing on the full moon above the hot spring. As R.D. explains what happened afterwards, the focus shifts from moon to the tree branch in front of it making it look as though the moon were breaking into pieces. Dialogues is inherently political because of the issues each of the women has dealt with individually and the overlying feminist discussion of the treatment of women within the mental health care system and society in general. Different Backgrounds, Similar Experiences Each of the women come from a different back­ ground. Ritual sexual abuse, mistreatment and misdiag­ nosis at the hands of mostly male psychiatrists and counselors are two common experiences that the major­ ity of these women share. “Dee Dee” is a lesbian who received multiple diag­ noses. most of them as schizophrenic. In one hospital, she was told her problems would be solved if she just slept with a man. “Mairi" is a lesbian woman who developed 25 dif­ ferent personalities to cope with the ritualistic physical, sexual, and emotional abuse she suffered at the hands of her father. “Susan” also suffered through incest and growing up with physically abusive and alcoholic parents which resulted in the ultimate mishandling of her situation by counselors and therapists. Light’s reaction to the sexual abuse she experienced was depression, though she was treated in the hospital with T horazine, a psychotropic drug given to schizophrenics. “Karen” recalls her feelings of alienation growing up Chinese-American in a mostly white, Jewish San Francisco community. She identified strongly with the Chinese liberation movement and devoted her life to Marxism. When she broke down, her party rejected her. She jokes in the film about getting a job in the Reagan years, “I could write a resume saying ‘ex-com­ S tate P ress munist madwoman, will you hire me?’ ” Hannah describes the euphoric periods in her manic depression as something she did not want to give up. A Jewish immigrant, she describes growing up in a cul­ ture where men rejected the women. Her obsession with Bob Dylan led to the nightmare of being hand­ cuffed and transferred from hospital to hospital. M etaphor and Madness Light’s film brings out interesting contrasts between the oppressive tool of individual, institutional and cul­ tural racism that seem to have facilitated the break­ downs of Karen and R.D., the individual level of oppressions that the white survivors of incest experi­ enced, and the combination of both types of oppression the two lesbian women experienced. It also brings attention to the question of the dichoto­ my between organic disorders (biological disorders such as manic depression which are caused by a chemi­ cal imbalance) and those that are the result of experi­ ence. The line is not, as Light’s documentary shows, between black and white. It occupies a gray zone that makes us ask why a situation will send one person “over the edge” and not budge another. The film also provokes the viewer to think about the definitions of normal behavior and reality. Is it insane for Mairi to have escaped her abuse through creating different personalities? Is it normal for a doctor to come on to patients while treating them? Light’s answers to these questions are obvious. For her, the patriarchy controlling the health care system she and most of these women dealt with is the lunacy. Yet she does not place a judgm ent on the women, showing them only for who they portray themselves to be. Rather, Light is trying to highlight their normalcy and give hope in recording their recoveries and the inte­ gration and acceptance of every self. The making of the film is a metaphor for Light’s own process of recovery. When she told Dr. Schwartz, who was treating her for depression thirty years ago, she wanted to go back to school, he told her it was a waste time and she could never have a career. “I would like to say to you, Dr. Schwartz,” she says in one scene, eyes filled with triumph. “I went to school, I spent eleven years teaching, I became a film­ maker.” CROSSW ORD PUZZLE W ho kifows. whai evil lu rks C LU ES ACROSS 1.

W hen the w eather gets like this, going out to lunch loses a lot of its appeal. Sure, it’s better than eating a peanut butter sandwich from home, but after your body temperature has risen to near-fatal levels on your walk to your favorite food spot, hiding out in your nice, cool office as long as possible seems a better option. Of course, there exists a little-used option known as “delivery.” Half an hour before lunch, you call in your order, and voila! a dried up, over-priced pizza comes to your air-conditioned door. You lose again! F ortunately, Tem pe now has the option of ordering food from a delivery service that brings food worth going out for. M ercury’s Deli, headquartered at 1523 East Apache, does not lie when it promises “Sandwiches of the Gods,” “Salads of Olympus,” and “Heavenly Desserts.” To top it off, their food is affordable even with the delivery charge ($1 in m ost of Tem pe, waived with orders over $10). As a picky sandwich eater, I found myself suspicious of M ercury’s horntooting, even though the idea of calling up to order a “Nirvana” or “Iliad” was quite appealing. But the prices were right (the Ultimate meal deal— 1/2 sandwich, side salad, chips, dessert, and drink— was a screaming deal at $2.95 ). So I ral­ lied together coworkers—to reach the $5 minimum—and we sent out for lunch. In no time at all, a variety of tasty foods had arrived at our basement door. Our vegetarian diner picked the quadru­ ple cheese sandwich ($3.39) and the “Venus” dinner salad ($2.99). As a parttime chef, she was surprised at how good the cheese was—especially the provolone, which was aged. And the gigan­ tic Venus, a meal in itself, was a real treat, with 9 different crisp vegetables on an iceberg bed. The honey poppy seed dressing that accompanied it was velvety and sweetish, and did nice double duty as a dip for the cauliflower and broccoli. Her pasta salad ($1.35), from which she removed the pepperoni slice, was pass­ able—not metallic like some, but lacking zip. As a meat eater, I was much more interested in the other sandwiches. We had picked three off of the “premium” menu ($4.7 9 -$ 5 .7 9 )— the Iliad, the Nirvana, and the Hercules. Since it cost more to get these sandwiches as specials, we decided to forgo the various deals and just get sandwiches. To try a wider variety, we split our sandwiches. I’ll admit, I was sorry to see the other half of my Nirvana ($5.29) go. To me the com bination o f chicken breast, ham, Swiss, and havarti was irre­ sistible. The sandwich was juicy, the chicken was tender, and the avocado was not too heavy. I no doubt should have taken more time eating it, but could hardly restrain myself. But awaiting me was an Iliad ($4.79). Although the Nirvana was—well, heav­ enly—I’ve always been fond of bell pep­ pers. My first bite was amazing. Each one of the four meats in this sandwich had its own flavor, and the provolone put it over the top. Wow! I wound up pick­ ing it apart to savor each meat. This was quality stuff! My boss, a hearty fellow, had the Hercules, described in the menu as “a humongous creation containing over 1/2 pound of roast beef, turkey, ham, pastra­ mi, American and provolone cheese.” It was indeed a monster— the 9-inch roll could barely hold all of its stuffings. The slice my boss shared with me wasn’t as T urn to M ercury, page 24.

The bag, along with several other items, was given to a bartender to throw into the trashcan by a white mate in his late 20s, with a thin build, dark blond hair in a ponytail, and a baseball cap. Shortly afterwards, a male subject asked to search the trash for a phone number, found the methadone, and turned it over to the bartender, who called police. • A woman was arrested for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol and for possession of marijuana at 500 E. University. The woman was arrested by police after nearly being involved in a traffic accident. Police then searched her purse and found a quantity of marijuana and a wooden marijuana pipe. She was booked at Tempe City Jail and released pending charges by the county attorney. The suspect pushed him, then threw him to the ground and punched him. The brother then fled the scene. The victim was not seriously hurt, and refused treat­ ment by the Tempe Fire Department. Police have yet to locate the suspect. C o m p iled b y S ta te P ress re p o rte r D a v id Strow .

P hoenix’s bid to bring a M ajor League Soccer franchise failed dismally, and league organizers were forced to look for greener pastures. The league is scheduled to start play in A pril 1995. T w enty-tw o cities, including Phoenix, were vying for the 12 franchises to be awarded. In order to show support for profes­ sional soccer, league organizers had requested at least 10,000 advance season ticket sales in potential host cities. Phoenix sold only 700. Rockets win NBA crown— The Houston Rockets defeated the New York Knicks Wednesday at the Summit in Houston to capture their first ever NBA title. The title was not only a first for the Rockets, it was a first for Houston as well. The championship was the first ever by any Houston team.

The Rockets are the first Western Conference team to win the NBA cham­ pionship since the Los Angeles Lakers in 1988. The last Western team other than the Lakers to win the title were the Seattle Super Sonics in 1979. C o m p ile d b y S ta te P r e s s s p o r ts e d ito r D a v id Strow .

The pill has been available since the 1950s, Many women confuse RU-486, which is not currently available in the United States, with Ovral. They are completely different drugs. Ovral is intended for use as a birth control pill and was one of the first ever available. The pill has a high concentration of estrogen, more estrogen than is necessary for avoiding pregnancy, so it is not prescribed very often. The pill is used in hospital emergency rooms and family planning clinics as a postcoital contraceptive for women who were raped and unable to use birth control. The pill is also available for women who forgot to take their pill, or melted their diaphragm in the car, or whose partner’s con­ dom broke. But no one tells women this. After a women takes Ovral, she begins to menstruate and her egg, if she was ovulating at the time of intercourse, and her partner’s sperm is expelled from her body thus pre­ venting pregnancy. Ovral is legal and inexpensive and it is 95 percent effective. This form of birth control, if more widely known, could help many avoid the much more difficult experience of surgical or chemical (RU-486) abortion. The availability of Ovral should be part of the information all young people learn in high school sex education classes. And doc­ tors should be educating people about this alternative to abortions as well. We suggest that a good start toward mak­ ing this early alternative to abortion more widely known would be to emphasize educa­ tion about it right here at ASU. Health edu­ cators at the Student Health Center should include information on this important form of birth control in their lectures and in oneon-one discussions with students. Women who are sexually active should tell their physician that they want a prescrip­ tion for Ovral and they should learn how to use it as a post-coital contraceptive. STATE PRESS TAFF p u T a OKCNUK£ 1 &Tftue . ATRUTe No making heads or tails out o f World Cud Soccer “If I don’t get excited about J i this soccer stuff,” Slats said. IKE “does that mean I ain’t a good R oyko patriotic Chicagoan?” Well, this is a unique event Columnist for the for our city and the nation. The Chicago Tribune W orld Cup is the biggest sports event on the planet. Billions of soccer-loving for­ eigners will watch the contests on TV—everybody from the Armenians to the Zulus. “So what? All that proves is that most of the world is too poor to build bowling alleys, golf courses, tennis courts or baseball fields. T hat’s their tough luck. There’s hunnerts of millions of people still ain’t got indoor plumbing, but that don’t mean there’s something great about an outhouse. And there’s hunnerts of mil­ lions who ain’t got no teeth, so is there something popu­ lar about gumming your food? Besides, soccer is so boring. I never seen a more boring sport except old geezers taking heel-and-toe health walks.” That’s because you don’t understand the game and its many nuances and subtleties. “What’s to understand? A lot of guys named Pedro and Boris and Hwana run around in short pants playing toesy with a ball for half the day until somebody wins by a scrawny score of 1-0. Then the exciting part starts when the spectators go goofy and have a riot and tram­ ple each other. If they want good TV ratings, what they ought to do is skip the game and just have the riot. Besides, in soccer they don’t have no time-outs, which is crazy. Every game should have time-outs or innings or halftimes or something where you get to take a break.” Why are time-outs needed? “So people can go to the john or get a beer. I guess in a lot of those foreign countries they don’t have indoor plumbing or that’s why they trample each other after the game—all 90,000 of them are trying to get to the john at once.” Like many older Americans, you don’t seem to be aware that among young people in this country soccer has become the second-biggest participation sport, rank­ ing only behind basketball. It has become bigger than baseball and football. “Sure, I read that. But they never tell you why.” I suppose you have a theory. “Sure. Bum knees is one reason.” Bum Knees? “Yeah. See, a lot of these suburban parents wised up. They look at football and what do they see? They see high school kids who weigh 260 pounds, and it’s all muscle. There are some high school teams today that are bigger than the old-time pro teams. So these parents don’t want their normal-sized kids stomped by these big galoots and end up gimping around on plastic knees. But they want their kids running around and doing something sweaty instead of sitting home playing Nintendo, so they enroll them in soccer.” So soccer is an alternative? “Sure. And you don’t have to be real big like in foot­ ball or real tall like in basketball.” But why is it more popular among young people than baseball, which is supposed to be our national pastime? “Because it’s easier than baseball. It’s easier to kick a big, round ball that’s sitting on the ground than to hit a fastball with a bat or to scoop up a ground ball and make a good throw to first. I mean, would Babe Ruth have been an American hero if he shuffled around in short pants and let a big ball bounce off his head?” No, I suppose he would have looked foolish. “That’s right. And that’s why soccer will never be really popular TV sport in this country.” Why? “Because in soccer they bounce the ball off their heads, and to Americans, it is undignified to bounce a ball off your head unless you are having a boozy back­ yard party. Name me one other sport where you bounce the ball off your head.” Now that you mention it, I can’t think of one. “See? What happens if a football player is waiting to catch a punt or a pass and it bounces off his helmet?” The fans would hoot and jeer and shout that he is incompetent. “And what happens if a baseball player is waiting for a flyball and it bounces off his head?” No doubt, the scene would be shown on every net­ work’s sports highlights and the player would forever be held up to ridicule. “Absolutely. In the movies, if they want to get a laugh they have something bounce off a head. In the Three Stooges, it was always boink, boink, off Curley’s head. So bouncing a ball off your head is un-American. Besides, it makes people shorter.” It does? “Sure. That’s why most foreiners are shorter than Americans. All those balls bouncing off their heads compress their necs and spines, and that worries me.” Why? “Because if American kids keep playing soccer, they’re going to get shorter and shorter. In a hunnert years, this could be a nation of flat-headed dwarfs.” I don’t think there is any cause for alarm “I hope not, because they couldn’t all become Chicago aldermen.” CHRIS DRISCOLL, Editor MARY LEIGH SUMMERTON, Managing Editor Hughes, Shane Siren.

First of all, I would like to dispel the myth that the party school image ASU has is due to the library systems. The fact that Tempe is largely a college town and the size of ASU are the two most important factors that contribute to the party school image. I would also like to note that ASU is slowly shedding itself of this image. In the 1994 Fiske guide, ASU received 14 out of a possible 15 points for both academics and college life. Secondly, I want to point out that the comparison of the SRC hours and library hours in no way reflects the emphasis of hard bodies over our education. A number of students, including myself, use the SRC every single day. In my two years at this university, I have used the libraries only a handful of times because I prefer to do my studying at home. It makes sense, then, that the SRC is open more hours because a lot of students work out more frequently than they do research. The editorial was correct in stating that the university’s purpose is not to keep the students in shape. That is why the students foot the bill for the SRC. Diverting funds from the $25 that every full-time students pays cannot be done because the source of the funding is entirely different than the source for the other state-funded facilities. If you want more money for things such as the libraries, don’t put ASU down for not fulfilling its purposes. Amy Greenbank Sophomore English ASU gives an excellent education yte'D&TtiKL INVNfcE?

You made a point that ASU must make it a priority to educate its students. Well, it is! I am getting an excellent education this summer in my Fundamentals of Radio class. Dave Pratt of KUPD lectures to our class twice a week and I am learning an immense amount of practical and applicable knowledge from him. 1 also find the library and its staff very accessible in find­ ing information on subjects that I am studying. Even though the libraries are not open as long as the SRC, they are not crowded during summer school which makes one better able to utilize the hours that they are open.

Tempe Ariz., 85287-1502 Grimm fairy tales were written for the royalty in Europe, not children Mr. Frusetta’s editorial regarding the Grimm’s fairy tales is in need of correction. The stories were not “cautionary tales” for children; they were written for the royalty in Europe. They were for amusement, a kind of “court jester” sit­ uation. The revised tales in America are, for the most part, “sanitized” (Disney’s versions are an example), but the point remains that they were intended for adults. Censorship and banning of books is wrong, but in light of the new informa­ tion, fifth grade now seems somewhat young for an adult book, doesn’t it? Kristin Wennerstrom Graduate Student Nutrition ASU students need to appeal strict, unfair parking violations that make life miserable Dear Editor, Why is it so difficult to wake up in the morning and push yourself to go to school? There are numerous answers to this question, but the one I would like to address is the parking problem at ASU. Is this college institute trying its best to pro­ vide parking for the 48,000 students that pay tuition, or is it just a large business looking for a profit? I am very concerned. For the two semesters that I have attended college, I have paid more than $300 to ASU Parking Services and would like to know where these funds are going. It seems that the money I contribute to park at ASU only goes to the payroll of the parking personnel, who happen to be a large portion of my problem. The ASU Parking Service is here to distribute fines to people who are violating common parking codes. Thousands of students as well as faculty use their cars to transport them to and from school. Therefore, the fines that are distributed at ASU every day are astonishing. If you hap­ pen to be fined, you will receive a small parking citation with the violation code which you have disregarded. One descrip­ tion of a violation lists as a warning, which is a citation that has no fine. For the amount of tickets that I have received at this school, I have never once earned just a warning. They always give it to you with the full punishment included. Why can’t ASU use positive reinforcement when it comes to park­ ing? Maybe they could give the students and faculty members bonuses for parking as far away from their classes as possible. PLEASE, I’m not looking for a bonus, I would just like a place to park my car without being fined time and time again. This is not a matter that can be seriously changed with one student’s plea for a place to park. I challenge the students and faculty members who have encountered the same problems to appeal every parking ticket that they receive because, after all, we pay them to give us tickets. Jake Stevens Freshman Pre-Business Marriot leaves vegetarians hungry Dear Editor, I am a student living in a residence hall at ASU, and I find it hard to eat at the campus facilities due to the fact that I don’t eat meat. I feel that if ASU is going to be so open to ideas of students from minority races that this policy should expand to students of different eating habits. I’ve filled out a large num­ ber of Marriott comment cards, but they seem to only be over­ looked in order to have STEAK NIGHT. I have no problem with people eating meat, that is their choice, but I shouldn’t be penalized because of money spent on the meat products. All that I am asking for is an increase in the number of hot vegetable dishes and pasta with tomato sauce. I realize that the majority of eaters in the on-campus facilities do eat meat, but in order to serve the population correctly Marriott must account for the percent that doesn’t enjoy eating meat. What ever the reason, be it an ethical conflict or an animal rights issue, it is a personal choice and should be respected as part of the campus society.

And, even though it wasn't my favorite, the Hercules, like the others, made Subway’s sandwiches look cheap. Swayed by the man who took our order, we requested nachos ($2.25). I usually stay as far away from nachos as humanly possible, as the wretched nacho goo gives me the creeps. But we were promised homemade salsa and “special tortilla chips from Tucson," so I figured I’d have something to dip my chips in, even if it was just watery chunks of tomato and onion. Zowie! That salsa had a kick! Since I like spicy food, I hoarded it away as my own. The cheese dip. although still “dip," seemed more substantial than most, and my vegetarian friend even pro­ claimed the chips as good as anything made at home. For dessert, we ordered carrot cake, fruit sorbet, chocolate mousse cake, and frozen yogurt. While the carrot cake was unremarkable and the mousse cake only good, the cookies-and-cream frozen yogurt and raspberry fruit sorbet were worth fighting for. While I physically carried the day, forcing my vegetarian friend to share some of her sorbet, she won a moral victory when I realized she simply did not like frozen yogurt. To me, it tasted just like Dreyer’s ice cream, and I thought it was a fair trade for the sor­ bet. But as a non-dairy, 70-calorie dessert, the sorbet had an appeal beyond being merely delicious, and I could understand why she didn’t want to share. Overall, the high quality of the food at Mercury Deli is remarkable. While there were many items we did not try, we’ll be ordering from them again.
