"I spoke with people in the audience who attended the debate, and they were quite upset with White's no-show. Her absence was seen as a lack of respect, and indicative of her bei ng out of touch with the A-B neighborhood and the di verse and educated voters who live bere," said Arturo Vasquez, president of the BAIA. Candidates trickled in slowly from other events, but when the debate final ly got under way, it was clear that this year's election themes are education re form and affordable housing. Even with many candidates platforms overlapping and somewhat repetitive in nature, a few candidates managed to set them selves apart fro m the herd in their speeches. City Council President Michael Fla herty was one of those candidates whose platform included fundamental issues such as affordable housing and education, but who instead tore into Boston's rampant drug problem, which he said the city has not done enough to combat against. "I think the city needs to step up and stop pushing [the issue] to the state," said Flaherty. ''The fight continues to make sure our community health cen ters are funded."

The At-Large race is wide open this year, with six candidates having a legitimate shot to win the four seats up for grabs. There's no formula for what makes a good city councilor, but there is one for what makes a good city council: one that represents all the different interests in the city, and one that has a good mix of newcomers and veterans. With that in mind, the TAB endorses Michael Flaherty, Steven Murphy, Matt O'Malley and Felix Arroyo. Flaherty was widely derided as a Menino puppet when he assumed the council presidency two years ago, but has stood~up to his boss at least twice, on the telecommuruca tions tax and rent control. Still, he remains close with the mayor, which makes sense in a strong-mayor form of LETTERS government.

My appreciation of film has always been along visceral lines, less interested in the arcana of how this or that trick was done than in how audiences, including me, react. My colleague Ed Symkus' adjacent piece discusses what has gone into the refashioning of this film, and as always, I defer to my betters, to him in this case, on that matter. What I see, what you'll see, is a film that stands out not only in its era, among the late 1970s films that helped us reimagine the na ture of what a scary movie can be and what special effects can persuasively do to a story. The intention nowadays to overload these things with so many gizmos and whizbang effects as to shock us into a permanent ex pression of "awe!" has to a large extent re placed the imaginativeness that contented it self with drawing us in with a straight-on story elaborated upon only to a moderate ex tent by effects. But you'll ay: whoa! What about that thing, that horrific monster that bounds out of John Hurt's chest and quickly picks off the bulk of the recovery ship Nostromo's crew?
