in porn theater
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Porn
star Llona Staller, who doubles as a
member of the Italian Parliament, is
awaiting final approval from the
U.S. consul in Rome to allow her to
fulfill a five-day engagement this
week at an adult theater.
The INS regional service center in
San Ysidro, near San Diego, recently
approved Staller’s petition, but a ca
ble detailing the action was not ex
pected to reach Rome until Tuesday,
said Carol A. King, an attorney for
the O’Farrell Theater. “There’s a
possibility that she can be here on
(Thursday) as long as everything
goes smoothly,” King said.
Staller, 37, is known on stage as
“Cicciolina” and won election in
1987 to Italy’s Chamber of Deputies
on the ticket of the tiny Radical
Party.
Her biography in the official par
liamentary directory lists among the
highlights of her career a starring
role in the film “Carne Bollente.”

Archaeologist claims truth
about people is in the trash
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Trash
does not lie, says archaeologist Wil
liam L. Rathje, a professor who gives
his students academic credit for dig
ging up garbage.
People say they don’t drink much
alcohol, but they do, and that they
eat a lot of healthy foods, but they
don’t, he has concluded.
While the truth is in the trash,
Rathje says few people hold their
breath long enough to dig for the ev

Rathje and his students sift
through curbside trash in Tucson
and dig into landfills around the
country to get the true picture of
modern society, or as Rathje puts it,
“to see the American lifestyle from
the back end.”
They have buried a few myths
along the way.

says.
• Burying garbage causes it to
compose quickly.
“We dug up a T-bone steak ft
1970 that, I swear, if we brushed
dirt off and cooked it, you would

1970 by dated items nearby.
Rathje has some of his students at
the University of Arizona learning
more than they might want to know
about garbage.
“We do run across some bad stuff,
but you just put on your gloves, hold
your nose and get through it as fast
as you can,” says Rathje, speaking at
a conference of the Ohio Alliance
for the Environment.
• Americans eat everything on
their plates. Wrong. Ten percent of
all waste in landfills is edible, Rathje
says. “The average household
throws out 15 percent of the food it
buys. In Tucson, that is 950 tons of
edible food a year.”
In spite of their faults, this go

fast-food wrappers. Not so. They
amount to one-quarter of 1 percent.

the space in the nation’s dumps,
more than any other single item.
Americans should.do more iw

but they shouldn’t worry about a

says.
“And the sad thing about that is
“We are never going to he bur
