performance.
The trio's third movement — a
sprightly, scampering scherzo —
evoked particularly many smiles.
Even if chamber concerts aren't
your usual cup of Dr Pepper, this
movement could well charm you.
The first half of the concert fea
tured works by Richard Strauss
and Paul Hindemith. Though
more difficult listening than the
Mendelssohn trio, these works
also proved rewarding.
Strauss' "Sonata in E-flat Major
for Violin and Piano, Op. 18,"
played by Harth and Hester, had
marvelous singing qualities. It
well displayed the talents of
Harth, who has been concertmas-
ter for various major symphony
orchestras and is an international
concert and recording artist.
The "Sonata for Horn and Pi
ano" by Hindemith showcased the
skills of both French-horn player
Erik Ralske and pianist Hester. It
offered a refreshing break from the
strings that tend to dominate
chamber concerts.
Rudder Theatre's relative inti
macy suited the program well, al
lowing the musicians' technique,
interactions and expressions to be
readily observed.
A recent summer "tradition" at
Texas A&M University, the Texas
Music Festival chamber series fea
tures nationally and international
ly prominent classical musicians.
The series continues June 21, June
28 and July 6.
Performers at the June 21 con
cert include pianist Werner Rose,
coordinator of music at Texas
A&M.
Barbara Gastct is an associate professor of jour
nalism and of humanities in medicine at Texas
A&M.
Jurassic
continued from page 4
slow, lumbering behemoths fea
tured in such shows as "Land of
the Lost," and "The Land that
Time Forgot."
Director Steven Spielberg has
created a masterpiece and mile
stone in the motion picture indus
try. Michael Crichton, who wrote
the novel "Jurassic Park," co
wrote the screenplay for the
movie. And it shows.
"Jurassic Park," the name of the
fictional theme park featured in
the movie, is the brainchild of de
veloper John Hammond (Sir
Richard Attenborough). Ham
mond's researchers extract di
nosaur DNA from bloodsucking
insects preserved in amber and
make clones of the extinct crea
tures. Hammond has the massive
"Jurassic Park" built to house the
dinosaurs, and cater to jet-set
tourists and their children.
But to gain more support from
his investors, he must have the
safety of the park certified by ex
perts. Hammond collects mathe
matician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Gold
blum), paleobotanist Ellie Sattler
(Laura Dern), and paleontologist
Alan Grant (Sam Neil), to give
their professional opinions on the
park. When Hammond's comput
er system crashes, the scientists
are treated to a tour of the park
they'll never forget.
It's easy to forget the dinosaurs
in "Jurassic Park" weren't real.
These awe-inspiring monsters
sprang from the minds of Spiel
berg's special-effects team.
Industrial Lights and Magic,
the special-effects company
founded by George Lucas to pro
duce effects for the "Star Wars"
films, created most of the lifelike
dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. The
simulated dinosaurs were a com
bination of computer graphics,
rubber models, and hydraulic ma
chinery.
Muscles ripple along the di
nosaurs' flanks, the pupils of their
eyes dilate and contract; one di
nosaur even fogs a window with
his breath.
While the essential plot line of
the movie remains the same as that
of Crichton's novel, Spielberg had
to streamline the production, cut
ting out over half of the dinosaurs
mentioned in the novel and some
early episodes in the book.
Also, park developer John
Hammond is not the same cold
profiteer as his character in the
novel. Hammond in the movie is
more of a warm-hearted grandfa
ther type, and this greatly reduces
the tension between characters in
the movie.
Hammond's personality, how
ever, was only one of Spielberg's
only attempts to make "Jurassic
Park" into a "kinder, gentler"
movie. People still get eaten - but
only once on camera. And the
movie doesn't have the sheer
amount of blood and gore men
tioned in the book. The only real
ly nasty scene is a quick shot of a
severed arm.
Even without the gore, "Juras
sic Park" is a first rate sci-fi
thriller.
Young

listener becomes reacquainted
with the lyrics.
The new songs in the album
sound surprisingly natural.
"From Hank to Hendrix" is
about the theme of legends of the
past and present. Young adds
just enough humor in the lyrics
to keep this song from slowly be
coming long-winded. His
smooth, high-pitched voice flows
along to the soft strokes of his
guitar and adds delicate energy
to this simple song.
Whether you just want to
reminisce, crave new Young
songs or want to know more
about this artist, his "Un
plugged" album is sure to satisfy
your individual needs.
I've missed this guy, and I am
so pleased he decided to go "Un
plugged." Like wiping the dust
off an old record. Young has suc
ceeded in allowing his fans the
chance to relive the songs of the
past, but without the scratches.
What more could you ask
from a living legend.
New generation of men would rather change diapers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEVADA CITY — Six men sit cross-legged
on a white carpeted floor. They are in the airy
studio of a cedar house that hugs the flanks of
the Sierra Nevada, and they are talking quietly
and seriously about important things.
Big things. Things that could change the
world.
Not once, in two hours, do they mention the
war in Bosnia, President Clinton, the price of
gold, "Jurassic Park," Charles Barkley, all-ter
rain vehicles or the San Francisco Giants.
No, for a full two hours and then some, they
talk about fatherhood.
Actually, they talk about more than that.
They talk about their children, their fathers,
their wives and themselves. They talk about af
ter-school soccer, about homework, about who
cooks and who fixes the car. They talk about
the struggle to balance work and family, about
how much discipline is too much discipline.
They talk about things that men don't usual
ly talk about.
Or do they?
There's a new man loping about the planet,
or so it would appear from reading the litera
ture. Psychologists talk about the "New Fa
therhood," whose adherents universally as
cribe to the following adage: When a man is
dying, he never says, "I wish I'd spent more
time at the office."
No, the new dad is the one you see with a
toddler at the playground, or standing up at
the PTA meeting, or rolling Junior through the
aisles of the supermarket. He's the one who
misses days at work because a child is home
sick; who dashes out the office door at the digi
tal crack of 5 to make it to the day care center
on time.
"Something has changed," says Jerrold
Shapiro, a psychologist in Los Altos who has
written two books on fatherhood. "Whether
men have been enticed or cajoled, the fact is
that we're around our kids a lot more."
"And," he adds, "when you're around your
kids, you get to like it."
The evidence is both anecdotal and scientif
ic. For instance, Redbook magazine recently
conducted a random, national telephone poll
of 420 fathers, with a margin of error of plus or
minus 4.8 percent:
— 96 percent said they changed their babies'
diapers. Two thirds of them thought their own
fathers had skipped diaper duty.
— 86 percent took their children to the doc
tor. Only half as many thought their fathers
had done so.
— 75 percent had left work to take care of
their kids. Fewer than one-quarter thought
their dads had done that.
And nearly seven out of 10 of the modern
dads said they'd like the opportunity to stay
home and care for their children while their
wives worked. The pollsters didn't bother to
ask about the previous generation. The ques
tion simply wouldn't apply.
Certainly, the men gathered at Troy Rampy's
house, perched in the forested hills above
Nevada City, have thought about it.
"There's a much more participatory parent
ing going on than there was when I grew up,"
says John Daly, a 48-year-old, tousle-haired
real estate agent who speaks with the clarity
and precision implied by his steel blue eyes.
"We fathers now are much more a part of
the process than we were. Wives are working,
fathers are working, and we have to share in
the household duties. Probably most men and
women will admit that women are still doing
more of the household stuff, but I think the fa
thers are much more involved in the kids'
lives. ... We're really taking on a lot more re
sponsibility for the child-rearing."
It's true, as Daly says, that men haven't ex
actly shoved their wives out of the kitchen,
laundry room or nursery.
"Our attitudes have changed," says Ron
Levant, a psychologist in Brookline, Mass.,
who is co-chair of the Society for the Psycho
logical Study of Men and Masculinity. "Our
behavior has changed, but not that much."
In the 1960s, Levant says, men did virtually
nothing in the way of household chores —
about 1 hour a day, on average, compared to 8
hours a day for women.
"In the late '80s, the figures indicate that
husbands put in about one-third of the total
family work and wives put in about two-
thirds. ... It's still far from 50-50."
