Subject: Different Drum

Thought we would share this info with you from the UK:

In a review in the Source magazine of the new single by PP Arnold (she had a big hit in the sixties with The First Cut Is The Deepest), it said:

"Different Drum, PP Arnold:  The best single of the year so far.  PP Arnold has done wonderful things to this old Leomonheads song.  It seems churlish to moan, but the producer, Ocean Colour Scene's Steve Craddock, seems to cut PP off in her prime.  Me I'm a sucker for a long fade out."

Although they never mentioned Nez or Linda Ronstandt this version is very good.  Well worth a listen.

Also if ITV are showing Sabrina in order then the episode with David in should be shown on Friday 10 July 1t 4.15pm

It has 4 Monkee episodes listed for July 18th starting at 9:00am. 

The episodes listed are:

Of course VH1 could change their minds again and not air them but let's hope
they show them this time.

Subject: Monkees mention in Jacksonville Florida Times-Union Newspaper

Here is an excerpt from an article in the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union web
newspaper on July 5th:


Monkee business

A less-chronicled, though equally bizarre Jacksonville concert took place July
8, 1967, when psychedelic shaman Jimi Hendrix opened for the likable though
lightweight Monkees.

Today considered the premier electric guitarist in the history of rock,
Hendrix was struggling for publicity in '67 when manager Chas Chandler
finagled the high profile Hendrix gig: opening for the manufactured-for-TV
Monkees.

The Jacksonville concert at the Coliseum was the kick-off show for the odd
pairing. As might be expected, Hendrix's outrageous and blatantly sexual
showmanship didn't mix particularly well with the Monkees' teenybopper
following.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience was dropped after only eight gigs. Chandler
protested loudly that complaints from the ultra-right wing Daughters of the
American Revolution led to ouster. Sources close to the band, however, later
claimed Chandler, a former member of the British band the Animals, knew
perfectly well the outrage the pairing would create and that he carefully
planned the event as a publicity stunt.

In any event, Jacksonville fans (this reporter, then an eighth-grader, among
them) were part of a very few to experience a stranger-than-fiction musical
bill pairing the Monkees' chirpy Daydream Believer alongside Hendrix'
nihilistic Manic Depression.

Excuse me while I kiss the sky.

I don't know if this is the right place to write, but I know of a couple of exciting upcoming releases for anyone who is a Monkeefan and owns a DVD player.

On July 21, Head debuts on DVD.  It includes 12 minutes or so of trailers that have never been seen by the public since the sixties.

Sometime in August the "17½th Anniversary Edition" Elephant Parts is released on DVD.  This is Michael Nesmith's Grammy-winning video from 1981.  It includes a running commentary audio track by Michael Nesmith.

This is some really groovy stuff!

 HERE'S THE STORY...OF A VERY BRADY SWEEPSTAKES ON NICK-AT-NITE.COM
 
      NEW YORK--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--July 8, 1998--
 
         "Hawaii Bound Brady Online Sweepstakes" Kicks Off For
         Web "Surfers" During Nick at Nite's Block Party Summer
 
      It's a wave of Brady Bunch excitement, as one lucky fan will surf like
Greg and hula like Alice with Nick-at-Nite.com's "Hawaii Bound Brady Online
Sweepstakes."
 
      One web surfing, Grand Prize-winning Brady fan will win a trip for two
to Hawaii, where they can discover the truly lucky powers of the tiki and
relive the unforgettable Brady Bunch Hawaiian adventure.
 
      "The Brady Bunch has evolved into an American classic and an enduring
favorite with fans," says David Vogler, Vice President, Creative, Nickelodeon
Online. "It is only fitting that we honor the show's loyal fans with our
Hawaii Bound Brady Online Sweepstakes, along with the rest of the fantastic
Brady content on Nick-at-Nite.com."
 
      Kicking off the first Brady Tuesday of Nick at Nite's Block Party
Summer, Nick-at-Nite.com will ask viewers to enter the sweepstakes via e-mail
or postcard between July 14th - August 14th. Prizes are as follows:
 
 --   The Grand Prize winner will receive a congratulatory phone call
      from a Brady, will spend 7 days in Hawaii, and will have a
      picture of themselves and a real cast member featured on
      Nick-at-Nite.com.
 
 --   The Brady Bunch Video Collections will be awarded to 25 First
      Prize winners.
 
 --   100 Second Prize winners will receive Brady Bunch Journals, where
      they can record their love for Davy Jones, just as Marcia did.

      The sweepstakes, located on Nick-at-Nite.com, will be accessible via
links from the main screen and "The Brady Bunch" area on the site. The area
also features Before They Were Bradys; The Time to Change Morphing Brady
Screensavers; and Marcia Brady's Football Toss. Brady Bunch fans can also
download bios, schedules, soundbytes and pictures from The Brady Bunch and all
of its spin-offs.
 
      Nick at Nite will once again pre-empt its entire primetime line-up this
summer to bring back Block Party Summer -- the network's programming event in
which six episodes of the same show are featured weeknights from 8:30 p.m. to
11:30 p.m. Block Party Summer begins on July 12 and continues through August
27, and will include a day of its block as Brady Bunch Tuesdays.
 
      Nick-at-Nite.com and TVLand.com, relaunched in 1997, offer TV gurus a
collection of amenities, including trivia, games and special events from Nick
at Nite and TV Land.

David will be appearing at the Seminar Center in New York City on August 25th
from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm.  This appearance is similar to the talk he gave last
year at the Learning Annex.  Tickets are $27 for members of the Seminar Center
and $38 for non-members.  You must make reservations since seating is limited.
For information and to reserve your tickets, call #212-655-0077.  The
president of Davy's Daydream Believers has been working on getting some
special reserved seating for David fans and club members so when you call,
tell the operator that you heard about the appearance from Davy's Daydream
Believers.  And why not make a even more special trip by catching the Westbury
NY Teen Idol Tour the next day?!?!

Peace and love,
Kimberly

Subject: Monkees Song in a "Can You Guess This Title" list

Along with being a big Monkees fan, I'm also a big 80's music fan.  I found
a site at http://www.scc.net/~hilbergc/new.htm that listed lines from
songs, and you are supposed to guess the title and the artist.  While
looking through the list, I saw number 178 "You always say you like my
style, you say I'm tough but kind of wild".  Of course, I got THAT one
right away!  I was glad to see that The Monkees music was even being
honored in 80's collections.

Hello!

Just thought I'd share this with everyone... There's a TV music offer
called "Sugar & Spice" which has 34 "great hits", including "I'm a
Believer". I'm sending this along to everyone because, personally I've
never been able to find Monkees hits on any compilations, except those
offered by Rhino.

This one is available for $26.98 for two cds or $19.98 for two cassettes
and you can order it by phone: 1-800-654-1500

Think happy and feel love! Peace!

Panel: We Are All Stuck With Each Other' Council on Ideas Calls for New Global
Institutions

SANTA FE, N.M., July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Citing a global information and
communications revolution that has "erased distance," the 1998 Council on
ideas stressed the need for building new international institutions to meet
the post-Cold War era head on, as today's most important issue.

Council members Jane Alexander, Emmy Award-winning actress and producer, best
selling author Stephen Jay Gould, foreign policy expert Jessica Tuchman
Mathews, highly acclaimed journalist Robert D. Kaplan and University of Mexico
physicist Ana Maria Cetto, were appointed to a one-year term to the 1998
Council on Ideas by the trustees of the Gihon Foundation from a list compiled
the previous year of more than 70 nominees.  Gihon Foundation chairman,
Michael Nesmith, well-known musician and businessman, often compares the
Council on Ideas to a "gathering of the elders," that meets to determine the
most overriding issue of our time.

"We spoke different languages, and I'm not referring to English and Spanish
but rather the languages of science and art and policy," said Mathews,
President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.  She added that
panel members were able to find common ground on major areas, an opinion
reflected by the Mexico born and raised scientist Cetto who said, "We worked
to build a common means of communication to establish an effective dialogue."

Gould, professor of zoology and geology at Harvard, stressed the words of the
Hippocratic Oath, included in the group's position statement, calling it "the
first law of Wisdom," "Primum non nocere - Above all, do no harm."

Focusing much of their time on the need for international institutions to be
more innovative and responsive in this time of extraordinarily rapid change,
Kaplan, author of the highly-acclaimed Balkan Ghosts stated that an
international society is already emerging.  Added former NEA Director,
Alexander, "It's not a failure of imagination that haunts all our
institutions, it's how imagination will bubble up and respond to what's
happening in the world."

The Complete text of the 1998 Council on Ideas Position Statement is printed
below.  It may be read at the Gihon Foundation Website www.gihon.com along
with texts from previous Council on Ideas Position Statements.

Additional Background  

The Gihon Foundation was established in 1978 by Bette C. Graham, the inventor
of Liquid Paper correction fluid.  Ms. Graham's son, Michael Nesmith, has
nurtured the foundation's growth since her death in 1980.  The Gihon
Foundation is named for the Gihon River mentioned in the Old Testament
(Genesis 2:10-14).  The germination of inspired, productive ideas has been the
purpose of the Gihon Foundation since its inception.

The 1998 Council on Ideas Position Statement:  

We are living in a time of change unprecedented in both extent and rapidity on
a planet now so filled by our presence that little further space exists to
accommodate serious mistakes.  The scale of economic activity, the number of
people, environmental degradation, and the power of weaponry raise both the
likelihood of conflict and the need for greater cooperation among peoples.
The information and communications revolution erases distance.  More than ever
before, we are truly stuck with each other.

Since the contingencies of history, the complexities of our world, and our own
inevitable ignorances make the future impossible to predict in principle, we
cannot offer profound advice or definite directions.  But perhaps we can
suggest some guidelines, based on goodwill and common moral sensibility, for a
long and successful human persistence on a well-sustained earth.

* Cultures will have varying values and moral visions, but with a proper
respect for cultural diversity, a basic consensus is still reachable.

* Given such technological power to kill and destroy, we should be especially
wary of zealous claims to know ultimate truths that all people must accept,
whatever the cost, The words of the Hippocratic Oath may be taken as a first
commandment: Primum non nocere - Above all, do no harm.

* The greater the pace of change, and the less the margin for error, the more
important becomes the experience of history.

* For the same reasons, education for all and the exercise of foresight based
on improved understanding of present trends, grow in importance.

As never before, governments and other institutions must be capable of nimble
response.  Yet, most of today's international institutions are a half- century
old and drained of political will.  At the same time, corporations and civil
society are taking on broader policy roles, forcing national governments to
rethink their own functions.  The coming era demands a period of concerted
social innovation and institution building -- this time encompassing all
sectors -- comparable to that which followed the end of World War II.

Original Eddie Hopes Courtship Remake Sings His Song 

Former child star turned punk rocker Brandon Cruz wants a shot at
composing the music for Nicolas Cage's planned big-screen version
of The Courtship of Eddie's Father.

"My band redid the theme song ["Best Friend"], and I would love to
have that be the theme for the movie," says Cruz, 36, who starred
with the late Bill Bixby in the TV version of Courtship from 1969 to
1972. Cruz is currently working days as an assistant editor for
Comedy Central's South Park and spends his nights as lead singer
for the Los Angeles-based band Twister Naked.

His new CD, Eddie Is a Punk (TAANG! Records), features a punk
version of Best Friend with the song's late composer, Harry
Nilsson, on the keyboard. Also included on the disc is a punk
version of "Best Friend" featuring ex-Monkee Micky Dolenz, and
an obscure song about pollution that Cruz and Bixby recorded for a
1970 TV special called "Oh, Daddy... What If?"

Cruz says he first learned of plans for the Courtship movie last week
at a barbecue at Cage's home. It just so happens that Cruz's wife,
actress Liz Cruz, is a childhood friend of Cage's wife, Patricia
Arquette.

"Nicolas likes to research his roles quite a bit, and he picked my
brain a little bit about the kind of guy Bill was," says Cruz. "I'm sure
I'll have many more conversations with him."

While plans proceed with the movie, a reunion of the Courtship TV
cast is not likely. Bixby died of prostate cancer in 1993; James
Komack, who played best friend Norman Tinker, died four years
later. Cruz says Miyoshi Umeki, who played live-in maid Mrs.
Livingston, is retired and living in Hawaii. And Kristina Holland,
who played Tina, is living in Berkeley, CA, and is no longer in
showbiz.

Bixby and Cruz remained friends after the series ended. Cruz
named his 3-year-old son Lincoln Bixby after the star and they
had often kicked around the idea of a reunion. "We always talked
about it," says Cruz. "The timing just wasn't there. He was very busy.
He worked constantly. Unfortunately, it never happened."

Am I the only one who keeps seeing Davy in ESPN promos for Major League
Soccer? It's a cute spot. Davy pesters Maureen McCormick at a party by
calling her Marsha. Exasperated, she tells him it was only a role she
played on TV and turns her back on poor Davy to have a conversation with
what a probably some famous soccer players.

Hi, I was listening to my radio, and I was about to turn it off to watch
some TV, and they started talking about the Monkees, I can't remember
exactly what they were talking about, but it was about Micky being
interviewed, and saying that he was the one out of the Monkees that
handled being a teen idol the best out of the four of them (yes, even
Davy), because he could handle the money, because Mike liked buying
stuff, and Peter spent a lot of money on drugs and whatever, and they
kind of muffled on Davy .

Just thought I'd like to share that! :-)

To those it concerns, there is an article about the Teen Idols Tour in
today's (Saturday) Washington Post. More specifically, it focuses on
Bobby Sherman and his careers as musician/actor and an EMT. I thought it
was an interesting article. It can be found in the 'Style' section of
the paper.

Bobby Sherman, Teen Idol To the Rescue
The Bubble-Gum Star Revives His Hits. And Some People, Too.

                  By Richard Harrington
                  Washington Post Staff Writer
                  Saturday, July 25, 1998; Page D01 

                  Bobby Sherman, who once set young hearts racing, now checks older
                  hearts to see if they're racing too much.

                  The teen idol from the late '60s and early '70s is making his first concert
                  tour in 25 years as part of the "Teen Idols" show coming to Nissan Pavilion
                  tonight. Since the early '80s, however, he's been an emergency medical
                  technician in Los Angeles and, since 1992, Officer Sherman, the L.A.
                  Police Department's senior emergency training officer. 

                  As plain old Bobby Sherman, he probably still causes occasional
                  palpitations among old fans who wake up in an ambulance to Sherman's
                  still-squeaky-clean countenance.

                  Sherman, who recently turned 55, says his "comeback" is simply a matter
                  of timing. "K-Tel reissued all my albums on CD, I did my autobiography,
                  'Still Remembering You," in 1996 and after the resurgence of the '50s and
                  '60s, it just seemed it was time for the '70s."

                  The revival of "Grease" and the glut of disco-themed movies, the popularity
                  of vintage sitcom and variety shows on cable, and the continued concert
                  appeal of classic rock and soul acts from that period certainly underscores
                  that notion. Still, Sherman says he had no dreams of a revitalized pop
                  career until the producers of the "Teen Idols" tour invited him aboard with
                  former Monkee Davy Jones and Peter Noone, titular leader of Herman's
                  Hermits.

                  Even stepping back into the spotlight after so long wasn't the nightmare he
                  anticipated.

                  "It's like riding a bike," Sherman says. "You don't need training wheels
                  again. You kind of remember how to do it."

                  The onetime high school football star never thought of doing it at all until
                  the mid-'60s, when he was discovered at a Hollywood party by the troika
                  of Natalie Wood, Jane Fonda and Sal Mineo. They asked young Robert
                  Cabot Sherman Jr. to sing, and Fonda introduced him to talent agent Jack
                  Good, creator of ABC's rock-and-roll show "Shindig." Sherman soon
                  became a regular on that show, where his winsome smile and fashionable
                  shaggy mop top made him a favorite of the bubble gum set.

                  Sherman moved up to true teen idol status in 1968, when he appeared in
                  "Here Come the Brides," a comedy-adventure set in boom town Seattle in
                  the 1870s. He starred as young logger Jeremy Bolt, so often at 
                  loggerheads with brother Joshua Bolt (David Soul). That television 
                  exposure soon produced results on the music front: Between 1969 and
                  1971, Sherman had seven Top 40 hits, including "Little Woman," "La La
                  La (If I Had You)," "Easy Come, Easy Go" and "Julie, Do Ya Love Me."
                  Concurrently, Sherman's smiling visage peered out from lunch boxes, 
                  posters, fan magazines and assorted merchandise.

                  "Here Come the Brides" ran for two seasons, followed by a starring role in
                  a 1971 "Partridge Family" spinoff titled "Getting Together." This time
                  Sherman was more accurately cast as a songwriter struggling to make it in
                  the music business. Unfortunately, the sitcom was scheduled opposite "All
                  in the Family," which explains why it lasted only half a season.

                  By then, Sherman was ready for a break.

                  "I'd film five days a week, get on a plane on a Friday night and go
                  someplace for matinee and evening shows Saturday and Sunday, then get
                  on a plane and go back to the studio to start filming again," he explains. "It
                  was so hectic for three years that I didn't know what home was. 

                  "I was disoriented -- I never knew where I was, always had to be
                  reminded," Sherman adds. "But, in all honesty, I must say I had the best of
                  times because the concerts were great, the fans were great. It was the
                  proverbial love-in, but it just zapped so much out of me."

                  Without retiring, Sherman withdrew. He'd built a studio in his garage and
                  over the years recorded scores for films and television shows; he would
                  occasionally make guest appearances on series like "The Love Boat" and
                  "Murder, She Wrote." Having delivered his two sons,Christopher and
                  Tyler, Sherman was very involved in their upbringing. In fact, caring for the
                  boys, now in their mid-twenties, is what brought him to emergency
                  medicine.

                  "As kids grow up, they fall down, scrape their knees, get bloody noses,"
                  Sherman explains. "My ex-wife was very squeamish when it came to
                  blood, especially our kids' blood, so it was kind of up to me. I took a
                  basic first aid-CPR class, just in case, and found I had a knack for it.
                  Eventually, if I'd be driving down the street and there was an accident and
                  there was no medical help on hand, I'd get out and, since I usually had
                  some stuff with me, I'd help."

                  With more training, Sherman graduated from EMT (emergency medical
                  technician) to EMTD (adding skills in defibrillation) and then became an
                  instructor for 10 years. When the Los Angeles Police Department heard
                  about him, Sherman was invited to the force's training academy and in
                  1992 became a sworn police officer with LAPD, as well as its chief
                  medical training officer.

                  "It's a labor of love to be able to teach these officers how to patch people
                  up," says Sherman. "There's not a better feeling in the world than knowing
                  these people are out there, helping someone out, saving someone's life."

                  Sherman has even brought life into the world, delivering five babies in the
                  field. "It's tremendously rewarding, which is why I always say in concert
                  that everyone should take the time to learn first aid and CPR, because it
                  works."

                  What's also working right now is the "Teen Idols" concept, both for the
                  audience and for their suddenly busy idols. Sherman notes that he first met
                  Noone while hosting him on "Shindig" and that they became reacquainted
                  when Noone hosted him on VH1's early '90s series, "My Generation."
                  And it was a guest appearance on "The Monkees" that landed Sherman his
                  role in "Here Come the Brides."

                  "We're all good friends and we're having a blast," says Sherman. "But the
                  bottom line is the audience -- they're half the show, as far as I'm
                  concerned. It's their response, their enthusiasm that makes it feel like it's
                  1970. It's absolutely incredible."

                  It's not as if time has stood still -- no one in the '90s is as naive as that --
                  but certainly it's a way of conjuring up a more innocent era, right down to
                  the teddy bears thrown onstage.

                  "In a sense, audiences are doing exactly the things they did then," says
                  Sherman. "Except now they're bringing their families, wives and mothers
                  and husbands and kids, so we're appealing to the entire family unit. And in
                  the wholesomeness of the show, they relive the past. They sing along and
                  it's amazing -- they remember the lyrics better than I do, sometimes. It's
                  wonderful. Everybody, including myself, gets transported back to a much
                  more happier time."

I watch South Park all the time, and I noticed something interesting on 
the "Conjoined Fetus Lady" episode. When Kyle's mom is showing the kids 
that book about conjoined twin myslexia, I caught the picture when they 
showed the page. It's Micky and Mike's heads put together! Next time 
they re run that episode (it should be on saturday at 10 PM), watch it 
very closely.

This article appeared in the Dallas Morning News on July 26, 1998


Former Monkee is a believer in intellectuals' roundtable

Diverse group of thinkers put their heads together

07/26/98

Michael Haederle / Special Contributor to The Dallas Morning News

NAMBE, N.M. - When some of the world's brightest people gathered at an
estate in this rural mountain village for lunch and conversation last
weekend, they presented a scene of relaxed civility and erudition.

The guests studied an exhibit of photographs from the personal collection
of artist Edward Ruscha, then dined on couscous in a large tent decorated
Bedouin-style with carpets. Those who cared to were welcome to take a dip
in the pool.

Just a few hours earlier, the group, the 1998 Council on Ideas, had put the
finishing touches on a position statement responding to the standing
question, "What is the most important issue of our time?" By all accounts,
the council members didn't have an easy go of it.

And presiding over it all with an enigmatic smile was Michael Nesmith,
philanthropist, filmmaker, novelist and, yes, former Monkee.

The Council on Ideas was launched in 1990 by the Gihon Foundation,
established 20 years ago by Mr. Nesmith's late mother, Liquid Paper
inventor Bette Graham of Dallas. Every two years, the council gathers three
to five "thought leaders," as Mr. Nesmith likes to call them, for a long
weekend to ponder the most pressing issue of the day.

This year's council members were actress Jane Alexander, who chaired the
National Endowment for the Arts; Mexican theoretical physicist Ana Maria
Cetto; Harvard paleontologist Steven Jay Gould; Robert D. Kaplan,
contributing editor for The Atlantic Monthly; and Jessica Tuchman Mathews,
president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

"It was a difficult experience," said Ms. Mathews, as she sat with a
slightly dazed expression at the table strewn with legal pads, pencils and
pens where the council members had debated. "It was difficult by virtue of
the assignment and by virtue of the totally different lenses most of us
have to look at the world."

A few minutes earlier, Ms. Mathews had read the council's brief statement
to a group of journalists and alumni of past councils, beginning with a
sobering observation: "We are living in a time of change unprecedented in
both extent and rapidity on a planet now so filled by our presence that
little further space exists to accommodate serious mistakes."

Population growth, environmental degradation and powerful weapons raise the
chances for conflict, even as the information and communications revolution
brings people closer, the members noted. "More than ever before," the
statement said, "we are truly stuck with each other."

The panel suggested guidelines, including the need for a basic consensus
among different cultures, a healthy wariness of claims to absolute truth, a
clear understanding of history's lessons and the exercise of foresight
based on better understanding of present trends.

Finally, the council called for new institutions bridging governments,
civil society and transnational corporations. "The coming era demands a
period of concerted social innovation and institution building - this time
encompassing all sectors - comparable to that which followed the end of
World War II."

In a question-and-answer period that followed, Ms. Mathews explained, "The
central idea is, this is a time of extraordinarily rapid change, and we
tried to identify those things that societies need in a time of rapid
change, and there isn't a lot of room for error."

If the statement seemed long on platitudes and short on specifics, it was
about par for the course. The 1996 council proposed that the solutions to
the world's problems "begin with the lifelong human capacity to enjoy and
share the process of learning." And the 1992 council insisted, rather
mysteriously, on the need to "reinvent and celebrate the sacred" through
the development of "a transnational myth structure."

But if the statements aren't exactly earth-shattering, the process itself
seems to intrigue the intellectuals who are selected during a rigorous
screening process.

Invited to hear this year's council give its statement were participants in
earlier councils, including political columnist Georgie Anne Geyer, Dallas
commentator Lee Cullum, theoretical biologist Stuart Kauffman, USA Today
columnist Walter Shapiro, former NBC News chief Lawrence Grossman, artist
Todd Siler and N. Scott Momaday, the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer. Also on
hand was Murray Gell-Mann, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who first
theorized quarks as the basis of subatomic structure.

Ms. Mathews, whose expertise is in global environmental and nuclear
proliferation issues, was still processing the experience. When she had
first learned of her appointment to the council, "I was bemused by it," she
said. "The description seemed so impossible. It was nice to be elected as a
thinker, but I didn't imagine what would come next."

The panel members were left to their own devices, it turned out. "As you
sit down with four strangers, that first step is like, 'Arrrgh! What do we
do now?' " Ms. Mathews said. The "language gap" between professionals of
widely varying backgrounds made it especially difficult to word the
statement, she said.

Mr. Kaplan, who has written extensively on foreign affairs, acknowledged
the challenge posed by the group's diversity, but he said they reached an
accommodation. "We really all came from different backgrounds, different
beliefs," he said. "I think we reached a real medium level of disagreement
where we were able to hash some things out."

He acknowledged that out of a collective sense of humility, the statement
was intended to be "minimalist" and that it perhaps lacked some punch.
"It's a law of writing that a solitary person writing alone will come up
with a more powerful piece of writing than a committee," he said.

Mr. Kaplan also said he was delighted to discover that Mr. Gould - whose
theory that evolution proceeds in fits and starts rather than in a smooth,
linear way has ignited a debate in the world of biology - is a font of
baseball arcana. "There's nothing he doesn't know," Mr. Kaplan said
admiringly.

In her four years chairing the NEA, Ms. Alexander found herself in the eye
of a political storm revolving around the agency's funding of art deemed by
some to be indecent. Representing the arts to a group of nonartists comes
easily to her, she says. "I'm glad someone was there," she said. "We don't
approach things the same way."

Ms. Alexander agreed with the others that there was some difficulty in
breaching the boundaries of different disciplines, but she said: "It was
Steve Gould who reminded us there was more common ground in being human."

For Mr. Nesmith, the prospect of giving some world-league thinkers a
devilish problem-solving exercise is exciting.

"There's a part of the process that we call 'the watch,' " he said while
sitting on a patio and sipping ice water. "One of us sits outside the door
within earshot and listens in. Being able to hear the process as it goes on
is always edifying, and it was particularly good this year."

Mr. Nesmith's hair has gone silver, and he has put on a few pounds since
his days on the popular 1960s TV show The Monkees. Now 54, he's followed
multiple paths in recent years, managing a solo recording career, producing
films and music videos and recently completing a novel to be released in
November by St. Martin's Press.

The Gihon Foundation originally was a grant-making entity, funding the
American Film Institute's directing program for women, said Mr. Nesmith,
the foundation's chairman. In 1989, he decided to shift the orientation.

He believes the Council on Ideas still preserves his mother's ethic of
"entrepreneurial philanthropy" - a sense of investing in ideas that yield a
public good.

Mr. Nesmith readily admits he has no way of knowing for sure what the
council's work will accomplish, although he will send copies of this year's
statement to the heads of the various branches of the federal government,
the nation's governors, the heads of Fortune 500 companies and the winners
of the Nobel, Pulitzer and Pritzker prizes.

"The only measurable input comes from the council members themselves, who
tell me it means a great deal to them," he said. "They form alliances here
across disciplines that are difficult to establish."

He takes another sip of his ice water. "I certainly have a feeling that
this thing is evolving, and it's going to respond to nourishment and care."

Hiya-

For those of you out west, there is a show on ABC, called America's Teenagers:
Growing up on Televsion. If you can catch it, The Monkees were shown once or
twice. They showed Davy and his twinkling eyes, and then later they showed all

Love To All,
Sarah

On July 29th, on Good Morning America, the fill-in host mentioned 
that Larry Gatlin was going to be on soon and that Larry Gatlin had 
let the host strap on his guitar and strum it for a few minutes.  The 
host mentioned something like, "It doesn't get any better than that". 
The hostess said, "That's right, you were one of the original 
Monkees, weren't you?"
The host said yes and then said that he had made a "monkey" out of 
himself the day before and made reference to the previous day's show.
