BUSH-GATE. LADYBUG LADY. PU-PU PLATTER Portland's FREE news and arts weekly Sgt. Vlernes works the halls of Cape Elizabeth High School. Sergeant First Class Allan l. Viernes is the station com­ mander at the Army recruiting office in Portland. As a career soldier, he lives the slogan, "Be All You Can Be." Sgt. Viernes is the point man for the Army's national advertising and marketing campaign aimed at attracting young recruits to the Army. He is selling the U.S. Army and he is proud of it. "We're selling a product here, unlike an individual who sells encyclopedias," says Viernes. "You have the encyclope­ dia in front of you. You feel it, you touch it. You really don't feel or touch the Army until you're in there." For that, most recruits have only their recruiter's word to go on. • 2 Casco Bay Weekly Rainbow labors to deliver in Maine IN BRIEF: Maine progressives who taking the message that organ­ Kittery Naval Base) to life­ YOU COULD WIN came together at a Rainbow izing is very hard," said organ­ enhancing uses.
