  • According to Informed Sources…
    According to Informed Sources… Informed Sources was born early in the summer of 1981, on a sidewalk near Ninth and Walnut Streets in Philadelphia outside the new music venue Omni’s. Frank Blank Moriarty – your narrator – was a nascent guitarist anxious to swim the punk waters, especially since that was music that offered the quickest path to six-string proficiency. Joe Stack was a would-be singer from Northeast Philadelphia. The two of us had been brought together by mutual acquaintances in early Philadelphia punk bands Sadistic Exploits and The Excuses. I’d bought a black Fender Telecaster – just like Joe Strummer’s – after a meeting with The Clash in the lobby of the Ben Franklin Hotel on the Philadelphia stop of their brief 1979 American tour. After getting my Give ‘em Enough Rope poster signed by the four band members, guitarist Mick Jones and I had a conversation. I mentioned how much I’d always wanted to play guitar; Jones gave me an intent look and asked a simple question: “Why don’t you then? I’m no better than you are…” The intervening months between that meeting and my first encounter with Joe Stack had been spent laboriously studying by-now-dog-eared copies of pre-tablature songbooks of The Clash and the Sex Pistols’ Never Mind the Bollocks which I’d mail ordered. By the time I met Joe – just a block from where I’d met The Clash – I was master of the barre chord. Or at least I could form one, given sufficient time. I’d also become deeply involved running Omni’s with Lee Paris and Denise Herman.

The performance was directed by our own Terry Guerin; music directed and conducted by a local freelance talent Chris Burcheri; choreographed by the amazing Rosanna D’Orazio; stage managed by Annie Roberts ’18 with the help of Sarah Estey ’17, and technical direction by C.J. Keller. This team and the many actors entertained hundreds of audience members over the course of its run. One of those audience members was Audrey Blinman ’22. (Audrey swims for the Middle School team and writes for The Phoenix Inquirer). Also an avid theatre fan, she raves about her experi- ence attending Pippin: “The absolute dedication of the actors was apparent in their performances. They were having a good time, so, consequentially, I was, too!” Not only does Audrey love being in the audience, but she hopes to join the Upper School theatre program as a performer.

And a markedly different perspective. “As far back as I can remember,” he writes, “I have seen funny. What may horrify normal people may strike me as hilarious.” by Tim Steury 30 :: What’s the Catch? The rainbow trout has evolved over millions of years to survive in varied but particular circumstances in the wild. The hatchery rainbow flourishes in its relatively new, artificial surroundings, but its acquired skill set compromises its evolution. The rainbow has so straddled the worlds of nature and nurture, says biologist Gary Thorgaard, that it has become “a world fish.”by Eric Sorensen 37 :: The Things We Do for Our Dogs —and what they do for us In 1974 between 15 and 18 million dogs and cats were killed in animal control centers. To address what he perceived as “wide-spread irresponsible animal ownership,” Leo Bustad ’49 DVM created the People-Pet Partnership and promoted research into the human-animal bond. Although it is impossible to assess the total impact of his work, the number of animals killed today is down to four million. And the pet-people bond manifests itself in ways beyond his comprehension. by Hannelore Sudermann PANORAMAS 9 The fate of a blue butterfly :: 10 Revolutions are televised by Arab journalists :: 11 Buddy Levy: Historical investigator :: 20 Current events — engineering power in the Pacific Northwest :: 21 After a fashion 23 A plan for Washington DEPARTMENTS 3 FIRST WORDS :: 7 LETTERS :: 13 SHORT SUBJECT: Business is blooming :: 16 SPORTS: From Burma to the Blazers :: 18 IN SEASON: Carrots :: 45 CLASS NOTES :: 51 IN MEMORIAM :: 54 NEW MEDIA :: 56 LAST WORDS, ER .
