Cool Cavill
finally gets to
play Superman
IAN SPELLING
NYT SYNDICATE
H
Henry Cavill
ENRY Cavill
thought he had
Superman within
his grasp, but the
iconic superhero
managed to escape him.
The British actor almost
played the legendary title
character in Superman Returns
(2006). He screen-tested for
the role and was reportedly
director McG’s top choice, but
then McG left the project and
was replaced by Bryan Singer,
who chose Brandon Routh as
his leading man. Though by
no means a disaster, Superman
Returns didn’t live up to expecta-tions. As for Cavill, he went on to
star in Red Riding Hood (2006),
The Tudors (2007-2010) and Im-mortals (2011), in which he played
another classic action hero, the Greek
warrior Theseus.
Then Cavill once again looked up
in the sky. Warner Brothers announced
plans to relaunch Superman, Zack Sny-der signed on to direct Man of Steel and
Cavill – who, in the meantime, also had
come close to portraying James Bond
in Casino Royale (2006) and Edward
Cullen in Twilight (2008) – immediately
threw his hat in the ring.
“It’s been so satisfying,’’ says Cavill,
who turned 30 on May 5. “Going into the
room for the ﬁrst time, way back when,
for McG, was an enormously nerve-rack-ing experience. I wasn’t quite sure what
was going on. I was very new in town at
that point. Walking into the room
this time? It was different alto-gether. I knew what was going on.
I felt right auditioning for it.
“I have to say, I didn’t think, ‘Ah, I
got it this time,’’’ he continues. “It was
more like, ‘OK, great, this is a wonderful
opportunity.’ I approach a role, any role,
like it’s a fresh and new thing every time,
but, if you put too much hope into every
audition and screen test, you can end up
being heartbroken and a broken, bitter
Henry Cavill in Man of Steel.
man by the end of it all.
“But this time it worked out.’’
Set to open on June 14, Man of Steel
tells the origin story of Clark Kent, born
Kal-El of Krypton, who grows up on
Earth and becomes its greatest protector.
In addition to Cavill, the cast includes
Russell Crowe as Kal-El’s Kryptonian
father, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane
as his adoptive human parents and Amy
Adams as Lois Lane, the intrepid Daily
Planet reporter who wins his heart. The
cast also includes Michael Shannon as
the villainous General Zod and Antje
Traue as the equally dangerous Faora-Ul.
The character is a complicated one
to play, Cavill says, in large part because
he’s called on to portray three facets
of the same person. There’s the noble
Superman persona known to the world,
there’s the private, lonely and secretkeeping Kal-El and there’s Clark Kent,
his very human alter ego.
“When you’re at home with your wife
and kids, you’re yourself, naturally, and
when you’re at work in your ofﬁce, doing
your job, you’re yourself, but you are
not necessarily exactly the same per-son,’’ Cavill says, speaking by telephone.
“There are characteristics you allow
yourself to have at home which you don’t
allow yourself to have at work and, when
you’re at work, you allow yourself char-acteristics, or force characteristics upon
yourself there, that you do not bring
home.
“This story, it’s about his personal
experience and his journey and the deci-sions he has to make that matter,’’ Cavill
says. “It’s discovering. It’s learning about
oneself and one’s own capabilities, for
the positive and the negative, I suppose.’’
The Man of Steel shoot was, no sur-prise, long and intense, not to mention
physically grueling for Cavill. He trained
hard before ﬁlming commenced, then
spent months on end running, jumping
and ﬁghting, suspended on wires and so
on. Heightening the stakes, he was No
1 on the call list, meaning that all eyes
were on him at all times and it was up to
him to establish the mood on set.
Such weighty responsibilities might
unnerve some actors, but not Cavill. For
one thing, he’d waited his entire career
for that moment. More to the point, he
simply didn’t have the time to be over-whelmed.

A still from the ﬁlm Man of Steel.
Cavill admits that,
while he’s thrilled by
the possibility of Man
of Steel resulting in a
steady flow of great
parts in memorable
films directed by the
finest filmmakers,
he fears losing his
anonymity
“It was all about training, getting my-self in shape and focusing on the role,’’
Cavill says. “I wasn’t focusing on how
difﬁcult it was or how big a deal it was.
I couldn’t do that. I was just focusing on
getting it right. All my attention had to
be on making sure that I nailed it, or that
I did my best and made an attempt at
nailing it.’’
Audiences will decide if Cavill got it
right. If he did, well, to the victor come
the spoils. Surely Warner Bros and Sny-der are already thinking about sequels.
There are whispers about a big-screen
adventure for the Justice League, the
DC Comics superteam that predates
Marvel’s Avengers, subjects of a 2012
blockbuster. Even if none of that pans
out, Cavill – in his guise as Superman
– already is everywhere right now, from
bus posters and Pop-Tart boxes to action
ﬁgures and razor packages. Whatever
his life is like in days to come, it will be
different from the one he knew.
“I think sequels and a Justice League
ﬁlm could be a very exciting prospect,’’
Cavill says, “if everything is put together
in the right way. I don’t know anything
yet about sequels or Justice League. No
one’s said anything and I’m not privy
to that kind of information just yet. It
sounds like a wonderful thing, as long
as it’s done right and it stays true to the
source material and the story that we’ve
created.
“Everything else you’ve mentioned,
it’s crazy insane,’’ the actor continues.
“I’m sort of shocked by it. Family mem-bers keep on sending me notes and pics.
They’ll say, ‘Oh my goodness me, I was
just looking at this and I found your
face.’ All of it makes me chuckle. That’s
the moment when you think, ‘Oh, wow,
this is going to be huge.’’’
There’s huge, though, and there’s
super-huge. Cavill admits that, while he’s
thrilled by the possibility of Man of Steel
resulting in a steady ﬂow of great parts
in memorable ﬁlms directed by the ﬁnest
ﬁlmmakers, he fears losing his anonym-ity. He appreciates fans recognising him,
for example, but if Man of Steel should
result in his being unable to visit his
favourite coffee shop without an hour
of signing autographs and posing for
photos, that appreciation might turn to
frustration and a total avoidance of that
coffee shop.
“There’s an apprehension,’’ the actor
admits, “because, if it is that success that
people will hope it to be, then ... Life will
change, and life will change quite dra-matically. At the same time it’s enor-mously exciting, because I’ve worked
really, really hard to ﬁnd the opportunity
to be in a job like this and I worked really
hard at that job. So I’m excited for every-body to see it as well.
“Yeah, it’s very much a mixed feel-ing, excitement and just that awareness
of not knowing how things are going to
change,’’ Cavill says. “The pros and cons
are too vast to name and to number, but
ultimately this is a major moment in my
life and I just have to be as prepared as
possible for everything.
“I have to take advantage of all the
pros and roll with all the cons.’’

Paris Jackson now in
spotlight she can do without
AP
U
NTIL he died in 2009,
Michael Jackson was ﬁercely
protective of his children
(save for that one balconydangling incident). He cov-ered their faces when they went out
with him so they might enjoy the kind of
normal childhood he missed out on as a
member of the Jackson 5.
But Prince, Paris and Blanket Jack-son stepped onto a world stage without
masks when they appeared at the King of
Pop’s public memorial. Paris, then just
11, delivered the most poignant words of
the star-studded service when she ten-tatively took the microphone and said,
“Daddy has been the best father you
could ever imagine.”
Since Jackson’s death, Paris has
become the most visible of his children,
granting interviews to Oprah Winfrey
and Ellen DeGeneres, appearing in
magazine articles and amassing more
than a million followers on Twitter. She
has also expressed interest in starting
a singing career and has plans to star
in a movie. But on Wednesday, Paris
became a trending tabloid topic all too
familiar for the Jackson family after she
was rushed to a hospital for unspeciﬁed
reasons.
All ﬁre and sheriff’s ofﬁcials would
say is that they transported someone
from a home on Paris’ suburban Calaba-sas street in the middle of the night for a
possible overdose. They did not release
any identifying information or additional
details.
The Jackson family would say even
less about what happened.
“Being a sensitive 15 year old is dif-ﬁcult no matter who you are,” Jackson’s
mother’s attorney, Perry Sanders Jr,
said in a statement on Wednesday. “It
is especially difﬁcult when you lose the
person closest to you. Paris is physically
ﬁne and is getting appropriate medical
attention. Please respect her privacy and
the family’s privacy.”
Sanders declined further comment on
the teenager’s condition or the circum-stances that led to her hospitalisation.
Yet on Tuesday, Paris hinted at her
state of mind on Twitter, posting, “I
wonder why tears are salty?” followed by
lyrics from the Beatles’ song Yesterday:
yesterday, all my troubles seemed so
far away now it looks as though they’re
here to stay.
A 20-minute video of the teen ap-plying makeup was posted to YouTube
last week. It shows Jackson in what she
describes as her bedroom playfully dem--
Since Jackson’s
death, Paris has
become the most
visible of his children,
granting interviews to
Oprah Winfrey and

appearing in
magazine articles
onstrating how she does her eye makeup.
She receives and replies to several texts
on her phone while offering cosmetics
instruction. She also reveals that she
watches the ﬁlm Tangled three times a
week and, as a child, fantasized about
marrying a cowboy.
She also makes goofy faces and says,
“I need serious help. I’m crazy!”
Paris wrote on Twitter that she
doesn’t know how the video, in which
she repeatedly asserts, “I am so weird,”
ended up on YouTube.
“I hope you guys liked it tho and
didn’t think i’m too crazy,” she wrote.
“i get weird when i’m not around
people lol.”
Katherine Jackson shares guardi-anship of her son’s three children with
the singer’s nephew, TJ Jackson.
Messages left for TJ Jackson’s at-torney were not returned.
“We appreciate everyone’s
thoughts for Paris at this time and
their respect for the family’s privacy,”
said a statement from Eric George, an
attorney for Debbie Rowe, Paris’ biologi-cal mother.
In recent months, she has reconnect-ed with Rowe, with whom she has had
little contact for most of her life.
Paris’ uncles Tito, Marlon and Jackie
echoed that sentiment in their statement
Wednesday: “Thank you for the outpour-ing of concern and support for Paris
- she is safe and doing ﬁne. We truly
appreciate you respecting our family’s
privacy at this time.”
The children are listed as plaintiffs
in a lawsuit ﬁled by their grandmother
against concert giant AEG Live LLC,
who she claims is responsible for her
son’s death. Katherine Jackson’s lawsuit
claims AEG failed to properly investi--
gate the doctor convicted of causing the
singer’s death, and pushed the superstar
to rehearse and perform a planned series
of 50 comeback shows titled This Is It.
Paris and Prince are
listed as potential wit-nesses in the case,
which is in its sixth
week of trial.
Marvin S
Putnam, a defense
attorney for AEG
Live, said Paris
and Prince Jack-son were deposed
in the case
because they are
named plaintiffs
and may be
called to testify.
He said Paris Jackson’s testimony was
not a “grilling” but urged privacy for her
and her family.
“There’s a real person involved here,”
Putnam said. “There’s a 15-year-old girl
and something incredibly tragic has
happened that none of us know
why and I think it would really
be in everyone’s best interest
and particularly in her best
interest if rather than blow-ing this up into something
else, that they were given
a little bit of privacy to
deal with something
that has to be a tragic,
tragic moment for all of
them.”

will play late screen icon Elizabeth
Taylor in a TV movie that will explore
Taylor’s tempestuous relationship with actor
Richard Burton which captivated audi-ences and headlines. The ﬁrst photograph of
Bonham Carter as Taylor and British actor
Dominic West as Burton was released by
BBC on Wednesday, ahead of the premiere
of Burton and Taylor on BBC America in fall
this year.
The ﬁlm’s central focus will be on Tay-lor and Burton’s appearance as co-stars in
a 1983 Broadway revival of Noel Coward’s
1930 risque comedy play Private Lives.
In the play, which brought Taylor and
Burton together seven years after their
second divorce from each other, the former
couple portrayed a man and woman having
an affair while married to other people.
Taylor, who died from heart failure in
2011 aged 79, became one of the most rec-ognisable Hollywood actresses in the 1950s,
famed for her beauty and violet eyes. She
was married eight times, twice to Burton.
Private Lives would be Burton’s last
performance. He died in 1984 from a brain
haemorrhage aged 58.
Last year, troubled former child star
Lindsay Lohan played Taylor in the Lifetime
TV movie Liz & Dick, which also chronicled

by fans and critics.
Bonham Carter, 47, began her acting ca-reer in British period dramas, such as 1992’s
Howard’s End, before progressing to grittier
roles. She starred in 1999’s Fight Club and
played a chimpanzee in 2001’s Planet of the
Apes.
More recently, the actress, who is in a
long-term relationship with director Tim
Burton, has starred in the Harry Potter ﬁlm
franchise and the 2010 remake of Alice in
Wonderland. She landed an Oscar nomina-tion for her role as Queen Elizabeth in 2010’s
The King’s Speech.

in HBO’s cult drama The Wire and BBC’s
period newsroom series The Hour.

Ranbir has been very
special for me: Deepika
T
IANS
HEY were a couple who parted ways
but mended their relationship and
reunited as friends. No one really
knows what exactly happened be-tween them but Deepika Padukone
candidly admits that her ex-boyfriend Ranbir
Kapoor has always been very special to her.
The two have reunited in real life and reel
life after ﬁve years and, interestingly, their sec-ond ﬁlm together, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
(YJHD), is reaping gold at the box ofﬁce and au-diences are loving their on-screen chemistry too.
“I have always believed that chemistry can’t
be created between two people. You either have
it or you don’t. The script can only enhance it.
I am glad that Ranbir and I do,” said Deepika,
who was seen with Ranbir in 2008 hit Bachna Ae
Haseeno.
“He has been a very special person for me in
my life. I am glad that we share an on- screen
chemistry. I am looking forward to doing more
ﬁlms with him,” the 27-year-old said in an inter-view.
Among the newcomers, Deepika is one of the
top notch actresses in Bollywood but she believes
in competing with herself.
“I think it completely depends on what each
one’s understanding of competition is. For me,
competition is good; that is what keeps me on
my toes and keeps me going. I am always trying
to better my own work, do better than my earlier
ﬁlms...do ﬁlms that are challenging and exciting
for me. That is my competition,” she said.
What does success mean to her?
“At some level, I feel it is nice to know that a
ﬁlm of yours is doing well at the box ofﬁce and
has also got great reviews. That feels like suc-cess,” she explained.
“The best feeling is when
you are remembered for
the character you play on
the screen and people associate you with that
character. There is no better feeling than that
feeling,” added the actress of hits like Love Aaj
Kal, Housefull, and Cocktail.
Coming from a sports background, the ac-tress, who started her career in Hindi ﬁlms with
runaway 2007 hit Om Shanti Om, says that the
position she enjoys in the industry didn’t “just
land in my lap”.
“I have worked really hard with a lot of com-mitment, dedication and sacriﬁce. But it is not
like a race. I am not looking at the ﬁnishing
line. The opportunities in this industry are
limitless and the idea is to always do some-thing new and exciting and enjoy your
work,” she added.
In most of her ﬁlms, Deepika has por-trayed roles that are close to today’s youth.
If her character Veronica in Cocktail was
appreciated by the audiences, her popularity
has multiplied manifold after her perform-ance as Naina in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewnani.
“In terms of what was more challenging,
it was Veronica. But I think I have got more
appreciation for this ﬁlm (Yeh Jawaani...),” she
said.
“While I feel like a lot of people have loved
me as Veronica, they love this (Naina) even
more, which I ﬁnd surprising as for me Ve-ronica was more challenging and is completely
against the type of person I am. For me, Naina
Talwar is the person I am. I completely identify
with that character,” she said.
The actress is playing special roles in her
forthcoming ﬁlms Chennai Express and Ram
Leela.
“The next two ﬁlms are very special. I play
a south Indian girl in Chennai Express and a
Gujarati in Ram Leela. I won’t go into the details
of the characters or the ﬁlms. These two ﬁlms will
be different from what we have done before,” she
said, and signed off saying: “I want to enjoy the
success of YJHD”.

I didn’t try to impersonate Milkha Singh: Farhan
PTI
CTOR Farhan Akhtar, who plays legendary
sportsman Milkha Singh in Rakeysh Ompra-kash Mehra’s Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, says it
was a huge responsibility to take up the iconic
role and he has not tried to mimic the sprinter.
“To do a role like this you have to interpret
the character as you don’t want to go into im-personation of somebody or do mimicry act.
You have to make the character your own for
that you have to start becoming that person.
I did focus on this aspect,” Farhan said in an
exclusive interview. Also, while working
on this mega project, Farhan met the
‘Flying Sikh’ and observed him
closely.
“I had couple of meetings
with him where I just heard
him speak about his life and
did not want to ask him any
speciﬁc questions. To hear
someone talk about their
life - you get to know the
way their eyes moisten
up, how big the smile is
or how comfortable their
body language is while
talking to someone. So
that is how you pick up
things and you focus on
when you act,” he said.
“To do this character was
a serious responsibility as that
is the big thing. To say whether
it was difﬁcult or easy is subjective
because when you are excited about
A
something no matter how hard it is it becomes fun and
easy. There was a huge responsibility to play Milkhaji,”
Farhan said.
Considering, the ﬁlm is a biopic on the
sportsman, so most of the creative inputs
mainly came from him and the writers to
which Farhan was not privy. To look the
part, Farhan built an admirable athletic
body besides long hair and beard push-ing himself beyond limitations. He was
religiously following a ﬁtness regime that
athletes follow for two years. He has report-edly been through various training sessions,
which only sport-persons undergo.
The actor-ﬁlmmaker insists when
Milkha Singh would watch this ﬁlm
he would will feel proud as they
have stood by Singh’s philosophy
which was to push himself, work
against almost all odds and achieve
the kind of status that he has, in
the ﬁlm. The ﬁlm also stars Sonam
Kapoor and the makers are looking
for a July 12 release this year.
Meanwhile, the 39-year-old has
been roped as the brand ambas-sador by electronics maker Intex
Technologies for its range of
smartphones. Farhan is a gadget
freak and his work keeps him
heavily dependent on technology.
“As ﬁlmmaking involves
lot of technology. So fortunately
because of that you have to stay
interested, try and stay ahead
of everything as it is beneﬁcial,”
he said.

He captured modern art,
and now is letting it go
The absence of
captions and a
lack of storage
space have
discouraged
several institutions
from accepting

H
ELP yourself to D James Dee’s
luscious, sprawling photo-graphic archive of the modern
New York art scene. He has
about 250,000 colour trans-parencies and slides, ranging in size from 35
millimeter to 8 by 10 inches, documenting
the work of almost every important artist of
the past 40 years and installations at some
of the most inﬂuential galleries. And, yes,
he’s giving them away.
All you’ll need is a truck large enough to
hold 65 cardboard ﬁle boxes. It would help
if you represent a nonproﬁt organisation,
because Dee hopes to receive a tax deduc-tion for donating his life’s work. But that’s
not a deal breaker. You should, however, be
conversant with modern American art
history. Really conversant.
Almost none of the transparen-cies and slides are labelled.
Dee, 68, has retired after a
39-year career as the SoHo Photog-rapher, documenting work for art-ists, galleries, exhibitions, books and
portfolios. He is leasing his space at 12
Wooster St, just north of Canal Street,
and moving with his wife, Sarala, to Miami.
The moving vans will arrive on July 24. The
photo collection will not come with him.
“It has value to someone,” Dee said last
week. “Not to me.” The absence of captions
and a lack of storage space have discour-aged several institutions from accepting the
archive. The National Gallery of Art, Getty
Images, and the Fales Library and Special
Collections of New York University have
declined his offer, Dee said.
With that, he illustrated the strengths
and weaknesses of an unlabelled archive by
pulling stacks of 4-inch-by-5-inch transpar-encies from a box marked “1984-85 Trans.”
and dealing them like playing cards onto a
light table, identifying each one as best he
could:
“Basquiat. Julian Schnabel.

had at the

tation transfer station. Joel Shapiro.
Basquiat. I remember doing this shoot, but
I don’t remember the artist. This is a Frank
Gehry. Joel Shapiro. Nam June Paik. This
was for the Chase Bank; it’s 45 feet long.
Oh, who’s the artist? Vincent Arcilesi. This,
I have no idea. I like it, though. I like it. This
is probably an installation; it’s subversive
enough, it could be Ronald Feldman.”
The informality of the ﬁling system is
a bit shocking at ﬁrst, until Dee explains
exactly what these transparencies and slides
are. They were just-in-case exposures:
just in case a frame was damaged during
processing, just in case it was badly exposed
or slightly fogged or a little too cyan.
“If someone wanted four transparencies,
I’d have a ﬁfth shot,” Dee said. “If they or-dered 10 slides, I’d shoot 12. It was cheaper
to shoot extras than to go back and reshoot.
Instead of throwing them out, I put them
in a box.” One box followed the next, until
there were 65, not counting all the blackand-white negatives, which are also yours
for the taking.
Graham Nickson, the dean of the New
York Studio School of Drawing, Painting
and Sculpture, said of Dee: “He worked with
so many artists in the ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and up
to the present. The people he has shot and
helped, in terms of documenting their
work, are legion.”
“He was literally the
best photographer
in town in terms
of dealing with
colour,” Nickson
said. “For artists, that
density of colour is very
important, and he was very
good working with anything large.” That in-cluded paintings by Nickson himself, which
can range up to 20 feet long.
Dee said his strength was translating
three-dimensional sculpture into two-di-mensional imagery. “My goal is to ﬁnd
an angle that summarises the piece and
then the light that will describe it,” he said.
“My goal is that when someone looks at
the photograph, they will say, ‘That’s a
great sculpture’ - not, ‘That’s a great
photo.’”
Dee entered into his specialised calling
in 1974 after earning an MFA from Ohio
University. He was invited to photograph
a George Segal sculpture for a monograph.
Segal suggested that Dee get into the busi-ness of photographing artwork.
Borrowing Segal’s Sinar 4-by-5 view
camera, Dee set up shop at 72 Wooster St. “I
grew with SoHo,” he recalled. “As it ex-ploded in the 1980s, my business did too.”
He worked with artists and with gallery
owners like Brooke Alexander, Mary Boone,
Paula Cooper, Feldman, Ivan Karp, Louis K
Meisel and Annina Nosei.
He bought a ﬁve-story building at 12
Wooster St in 1982, converted it into a coop and occupied the ﬁrst and second ﬂoors.
A decade later business began plummeting
as the art market collapsed and galleries
stopped documenting artists’ portfolios.
A decade after that, digital photography
upended what business remained.
Now Dee wants to pursue his own pho-tography without the distractions or de-mands of a commercial studio. His artwork
is focused on the intimate details of the
human body, both anatomical and imposed
- tattoos, piercings and scariﬁcation.

This was the second
stop on Tomahawk’s
first East Coast tour in
more than a decade,
and the crowd was
well primed to absorb
its artful antagonism.
The band is often
pegged as some
kind of experimental
heavy-rock super-group because of the
past or present affilia-tions of its lineup
Mike Patton and Trevor Dunn (right) of Tomahawk performed at the Best Buy Theatre, in New York, recently.
With bellows and growls,
a band gets back to work
NYT SYNDICATE
T
OMAHAWK sent up a distress ﬂare as its
ﬁrst song at the Best Buy Theater on Sun-day night, but with a typically mordant
twist. The song was Mayday, and against
both the coiled tension of its verses and the
volcanic release of its chorus, Mike Patton bellowed or
warbled or growled, with all the pique and derange-ment expected of him. He didn’t sound marooned so
much as cynically above the fray.
The joke’s on you, he sang in his curdled falsetto,
quickly adding, in a gut howl, But now you’re laughing
at me!
This was the second stop on Tomahawk’s ﬁrst East
Coast tour in more than a decade, and the crowd was
well primed to absorb its artful antagonism. The band
is often pegged as some kind of experimental heavyrock supergroup because of the past or present afﬁli-ations of its lineup: guitarist Duane Denison, of the
Jesus Lizard; Patton, of Faith No More and Mr Bungle;
drummer John Stanier, of Battles and Helmet; and
bassist Trevor Dunn, of Mr Bungle and the Melvins.
But Tomahawk has always had the durable rapport of
a working band, despite long periods when it wasn’t
working as a band at all.
The most recent drought ended last year, after
Tomahawk enlisted Dunn as a replacement for its
original bass player and recorded its fourth album. The

band named it Oddfellows - one of the pithiest acts
of titular self-appraisal since Cyndi Lauper’s She’s So
Unusual - and released it early this year on Patton’s
label, Ipecac.
The odder stuff on Oddfellows, which often sug-gests heat-warped Ennio Morricone music, mostly
didn’t make it into the set. What did make it was more
feral and declaratory, like the title track, with its heavygauge riff in 7/4 (an odd meter, naturally); Stone
Letter, with its disarmingly earnest chorus; and White
Hats/Black Hats, with lyrics that complicate its own
binary, seeming to hint at illicit border crossings. On
South Paw, over a thrash-punk churn, Patton aired a
characteristic grievance: “You rub me so wrong.” (The
kicker, a moment later: “Please keep your clothes on.”)
Patton is the main fount of eccentricity in any band
he touches, but Tomahawk often puts him in an almost
gridlike frame. For all the revving heat of its engines,
the band is largely deﬁned by a sense of compression,
whether in the form of Denison’s terse guitar parts or
Stanier’s clenched-fury drumming. It all forms a taut
canvas for Patton’s chameleonic outﬂow, all those glot-tal smears and goblin cries.
There was room for his brand of mischief in the en-cores, which featured a gleefully committed Bad Brains
cover and a more sardonic genuﬂection to George
Jones. But the smarter unruliness came in Birdsong,
which, like Mayday, comes from the band’s second
album. Starting with a busily syncopated drumbeat and
feedback drawn from Dunn’s ampliﬁer, it kept build-ing momentum until the wave crested, and the tempo
halved. Patton’s wail sounded essential then, however
precisely it was deployed.

Freed from a glacier’s hold,
ancient moss grows again
The glacier is now
retreating, expos-ing the mosses to air
and sunlight for the
first time in centuries,
and they are grow-ing green and healthy
once more
NYT SYNDICATE
I
N one of nature’s more astonish-ing never-say-die stories, clumps
of frozen mosses that were en-tombed beneath an advancing
glacier more than 400 years ago
have revived.
The glacier is now retreating, expos-ing the mosses to air and sunlight for
the ﬁrst time in centuries, and they are
growing green and healthy once more.
The discovery was made by a team
of researchers from the University of
Alberta who were conducting a biodiver-sity study of mosses and vascular plants
in an area around the retreating Tear-drop Glacier in the central mountains of
Canada’s remote Ellesmere Island.
“As we walked up to the edge of the
glacier, we could see patches of mosses

that seemed to be coming out from un-derneath the ice,’’ recalled project leader
Catherine La Farge.
“They were blackened, but there were
also tints of green in there as well. As I
looked more closely I thought, ‘Oh my
gosh, what’s this? Either this has some-how managed to retain a vestige of its
original colour or it’s just started to grow
again after centuries under the ice.’ The
thought of that just blew my mind.’’
A laboratory culture of moss brought back to life after 400 years beneath a glacier.
Moss, Interrupted
Ancient Survivors
Back at the laboratory in Edmonton,
a microscope conﬁrmed what the human
eye suspected: The desiccated centu-ries-old mosses had indeed come back
to life and were sprouting tiny shoots
after many, many years buried beneath
thousands of tons of ice. Just how many?
Radiocarbon dating revealed the speci-mens to be in the range of 400 to 600
years old.
Intrigued, La Farge and her team
ground up stem and leaf tissue from
some of the samples they had collected,
placed them in petri dishes ﬁlled with
nutrient-rich potting soil, and waited
to see what happened. Sure enough,
about six weeks later a telltale green
tinge could be seen emerging from
the soil. The researchers were ulti-mately able to propagate four different
species of mosses from seven potted
samples.
A year later the regenerated mosses
are still growing, essentially resuming
lives that had been interrupted long
ago by the advancing glaciers of the
so-called “mini Ice Age,’’ a global
cooling period that began around the
year 1550 and lasted until 1850. The
mosses’ ability to regenerate after so
much time under the ice, and so swiftly
– for the ground had been uncovered
for not much more than a year – is
giving scientists insights into how an
ecosystem can rebound as an ice sheet
retreats.
Of course, mosses have always been
some of nature’s true survivors. Belong-ing to an ancient group of plants called
bryophytes – which also includes liver-worts and hornworts – they date back
more than 400 million years to the dawn
of terrestrial life on the planet.
They not only possess the ability
to shut down in lean times and revive
themselves later when conditions im-prove, says La Farge, but their cells can
also behave very much like stem cells so
that any one cell can “clone’’ or regener-ate the plant. The centuries-old mosses,
now ﬂourishing in a lab in Edmonton,
and their wild cousins sprouting along
the foot of the Teardrop Glacier, are
by no means the oldest plants to have
been regenerated in the 21st century.
Last year researchers in Siberia success-fully germinated ancient seeds of the
narrow-leafed campion ﬂower (Silene
stenophylla), found well preserved deep
in the permafrost – at the ripe old age of
31,800 years.
Germinating those Siberian ﬂower
seeds required quite a bit of high-tech
human intervention, Le Farge explained.
Scientists had to extract the placenta
from the seeds, then artiﬁcially coax
them to life. Not so the humble mosses
found along the edge of Teardrop Gla-cier, buried for centuries beneath the ice.
They required no special techniques at
all, needing little more than potting soil
and a gardener’s TLC.

GEMINI [may 21 – jun 20]
CANCER [jun 21 - jul 22]
LEO [jul 23 – aug 22]
VIRGO [aug 23 – 22]
This is the best day of the year
to think about how clear you
are in your communication
with others. Do you listen to
others, and vice versa?
The New Moon makes today the
day to make resolutions about
how to improve your money scene.
What can you do to earn more?
What can you do to save more?
The only New Moon in your sign
all year is taking place today.
Take a realistic look in the mirror
to discover what you can do to
improve your appearance.
It’s important to be aware of your
beliefs. What gives you guidelines?
What do you do to balance
the busyness of your days?
Friendships are important.
Studies indicate that friends
even improve our health. What
kind of friend are you to your
friends? Think about this.
What is your relationship to
authority ﬁgures? Do you resent
authority? Do you accept it?
The New Moon today urges
you to think about this.
LIBRA [sept 23 – oct 22]
What further education can
you get to improve your job or
enhance the quality of your life?
Think about taking a course or
traveling to expand your horizons.
SCORPIO [oct 23 – nov 21]
This might be the best day of
the year to think about how to
reduce your debt. You also might
ponder how to redeﬁne the
boundaries of shared property.
SAGITTARIUS [nov 22 – dec 21]
Today is the only New Moon all
year that is opposite your sign.
This means it’s your chance to
make resolutions about how to
improve your partnerships and
close friendships. Any ideas?
CAPRICORN [dec 22 – jan 19]
What can you do to improve
your job or get a better job?
What can you do to improve your
attitude to your job? Happiness
is liking what you do.
AQUARIUS [jan 20 – feb 18]
Our society places much
emphasis on work and the
success of earning money. But
this is no guarantee of happiness.
How well do you balance your
work with fun and play?
Pisces [feb 19 – mar 20]
This is an excellent day to think
about how to improve your
family relationships and also
how to improve your home.
When things are solid at home,
your world feels better.
