LOS ANGELES (AP) — It could have been an actor’s nightmare: star ring in a movie while the man you’re portraying is always there, peeping over your shoulder. But lor Morgan Freeman, it worked. Freeman, who received an Aca demy Award nomination last year for his supporting role as the terrify ing pimp in “Street Smart,” is the star of Warner Bros.’ “Lean on Me." He plays the role of Joe Clark, the New Jersey principal who turned a drug-ridden wasteland into a model high school with the symbolic weap ons of a baseball bat and a bullhorn. Not only is Joe Clark alive and functioning at Eastside High in Pat erson. He was also present while “Lean on Me” was being shot at Eastside. “Since we Filmed in the school and school was in session, he was there every day, doing his job,” Freeman says of Clark. “You want to know if that was daunting? Yes. Incredibly daunting the First week-and-a-half or two. I didn’t know how I was going to do it.” How much of the performance is Morgan Freeman and how much is Joe (dark? “All of the performance is Mor gan Freeman,” he replied. “What Morgan Freeman could bring in the way of Joe Clark was largely due to Joe Clark. He was very available to me, extremely helpful, very support ive. He made it easy, despite my own sense of inadequacy.” Freeman was pleased to report that Clark has seen the film and has given his seal of approval. “That’s the seal that counts,” said Freeman. “I really wanted him to like the movie. I like him a lot.” Clark was tagged “Crazy Joe” be cause of some of his tactics, includ ing the chaining of school exit doors to keep out drug dealers and his ini tial act of expelling 300 achieving and trouble-maki pils. Freeman dismisses Clarks] tcs. “He is universally belovedl students, and that’s all than People who disagree with hi meaningless. They’re off int kind of ivory tower; 1 don’ti! they even know what he did.' Freeman’s schools were ini] cage’s South Side, an areat Paterson. He remembers schi being much more orderly tl Joe Clark faces. “The streets were what negotiate; the schools were: problem,” he said. “Once yoil through the doors of school I were safe. There the teachers] control. “What (‘Lean on Mej repre is what happened to schools, ularly in the inner cities, ini and ’70s. The schools were; over by the students, andthej ers were shortchanged.” Af ter Los Angeles City Coij studies, Freeman’s First profess job was dancing at the 196f] York World’s Fair, then hejoi touring company of “The 1 lunt of the Sun.” Freeman managed toearnaij in plays such as “Hello, Dolly Pearl Bailey and Cab Callowatj "Purlie” and in IV shows sucl PBS’s “The Electric Company’ big breakthrough came with Smart.” His reaction to the Acaderm:J ination? “I felt fine. It was like havinjl on the back and ‘Well done sort of kick the dirt and say,‘Aj thanks (laughing) .md tn it f onto your sense of sell and ti off flying half-cocked. Its just on the back.” Potter preserves ritual of ancient Japanese art SOMERSET, Ky. (AP) — Ever so carefully, Meriwether McClorey puts pieces of raku pottery into her kiln. The kiln, a converted water heater, will hold only three pieces. So McClorey and her husband will spend more than eight hours repeat ing the Firing process. It’s a painstaking but fascinating method of making art, and friends come by to watch during the course of the evening. Raku can be traced back to tradi tional Japanese tea ceremonies. More than a thousand years ago, decorating and Firing pottery was a social event marked by drinking tea. McClorey, who has specialized in raku for about four years, says the process has been changed in the United States, where potters are apt to do Firing much more quickly. To look at the delicate pottery, it is obvious a lot of skill goes into ev ery piece. Yet, to an extent, the outcome of each one is unpredictable. During firing, new patterns emerge. They work in concert with the original, intended ones. “Go ahead and light it,” McClorey says to her husband, John. Fueled by a combination of pro pane gas and air, the kiln will even tually heat up to 1,900 degrees Fahr enheit. At that temperature, glazing oc curs, giving each piece of raku a unique look. Much work has already gone into this pottery. At her studio in Somerset, M/| rev shaped the various bowls, and vases of clay and did pred tory painting and designing. The firing takes place in ail tered kiln area outside McClJ home in rural Pulaski County. Before going into the kiln,f are preheated on a woodstoveii house. “Everything’s very gradual.

Composers’ letters reveal personalities behind genius JERUSALEM (AP) — Austrian composer Gustav Mahler was plagued by depression, self-pity and writer’s block as a young man, according to Mahler letters recently acquired by Jerusalem’s Hebrew University. Letters by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, also part of the new collection, show he couldn’t handle money, but was a family man who wrote glowing descriptions of his wife nursing their son. Some of the letters have never been published. “They will now enlighten several aspects of the composers’ lives,” said laacov Ghelman, head of the university’s music department. In addition to 67 letters by Mendelssohn and 46 by Mahler, the correspondence also includes communications from Jacques Offenbach, Ernst Bloch, Giacomo Meyerbeer, Jacques Halevy and Arnold Schoenberg. The letters were donated by the widow of New York collector Otto Lobben- berg. The letters written by the young Mahler, who was born July 7, 1860 as the son of a Jewish peddler in Austrian Bohemia, re veal a man in emotional turmoil. Writing to Anton Krisper, a friend from composing class at the Vienna Conservatory, thel] year-old Mahler described Feb. 14, 1880, letter how he pj: crastinated instead of composinf “I spent most of my time to dulge in sweet suffering in ll most wasteful way. ... I lived my dreams and dreamt wlti awake,” Mahler wrote, addii later: “I’ll have to taste allthes rows of this world, and woni spared a single one.” Mahler’s letters to Krispf most written in the spring 1880, are Filled with yearning the absent friend. Sitting in their old haunt, Vied na’s Cafe Imperial, Mahlerwi an undated letter on cafestati ary; “I just arrived in Viennaai immediately went to the pb where we shared so much suffe ing and joy. My thoughts onlyi' volve around you.” Mahler’s early years werei marked by restlessness. “I’vebe 1 in Vienna for three months,® in addition to various hotels, ha 1 already lived in Five apartmer. You can imagine what thatd« to my work,” Mahler wrote Krisper in January 1883. “Again, the crying of sot little kid is bothering me,” Mai wrote of his abode at the time. TI'H 1!
