Byrd
Continued from Page 4
"Monticello" to elude British cav
alry during the Revolution, his
marriage, relations with his par
ents, and his quarrels with
Alexander Hamilton, John Adams
and George Washington.
But the heart of Byrd's charac
ter study is Thomas Jefferson in
Paris at work as a diplomat and
at leisure — though Jefferson's
leisure was intense enough to be
work for others.
Here the author breathes life
into Jefferson as he met such no
tables as the Comtes de Buffon
and Chastellux, Jonathan Trum
bull, John Paul Jones, and visited
markets, booksellers, art galleries
and palaces.
All these form the backdrop
against which Short observes and
ponders Jefferson's relationship
with Maria Cosway. Caught in a
marriage which had lost its love,
the Anglo-Italian miniaturist was
enraptured with the widowed Jef
ferson. Maria was everything the
Virginian sought in a woman, but
a debate between his "head" and
his "heart" resulted in his decision
to end their relationship. Short
judged that Jefferson ended hi'? af
fair with Cosway "cruelly,
finds his mentor lacking
other ways.
When pressed for ant:
Short denied rumors off
between Jefferson and oitj
slaves, but admitted his den
based on emotion notevidei
The book ends on this
ambiguity. An engrossing |
with no definitive ansi I
provides something m(|

Witches
Continued from Page 4
the backdrop of the L.A. riots to form a new zombie
persona. His zombie character is not a brain-eating
monster that returned from the dead through
voodoo, but a child who no longer wants to deal
with life.
"The Ultimate Witch" has the same genre of stories.
Set against the glitz of Beverly Hills and the
poverty surrounding it, two abandonedeti
are taken in by a gypsy who quickly trar|
them using drug-lined gingerbread into bod
can sell.
If these topics are too dark for your liking
books offer others ranging from a lovei v
tween a witch and a mortal, to a fantasyiti
boy who could protect people's lives throng!,
tling wooden images of them, to a comedtji
an out-of-work comedian who tells jokestot|
in a mortuary.
The writing will grab you, the stories wifi
you and the fear of the unknown and superl
will keep the stories in your memory for days:
Hillbillies
Continued from Page 5
his sister Jethrina.
From the moment Jed acciden
tally strikes oil in his back yard
and is offered 10 billion dollars
for it, the wacky turn of events
keeps you smiling. When the
hillbillies are forced to move to
Beverly Hills, their trusting
country-folk ways are sure to
keep the humor a flowin'.
These four hicks are feisty and
funny. They're down to earth and
then some, but when their hillbil
ly culture clashes with the stuffy
California way of life, it's worse
than a kangaroo stuck in an
Arkansas pig farm.
With the rest of the cast full of
famous comedy stars like Lily
Tomlin, Dabney Coleman, Lea
Thompson and Rob Schneider,
each scene is filled with quality
humor.
The characters who stand out
the most are the sixth-grade edu
cated Jethro (Bader), the sweet
tomboy Elly May (Eleniak), and of
course the feisty Granny (Leach-
man). Who would have guessed
fla‘
Ifn
the flaky girl from "Under Siege'
(Eleniak) could act likeaiii:! j
get away with it?
Seeing this family inat:
wagon flick off a carload
pies in the midst of afi
Hills traffic jam, cause a:
dent so Granny can sen
good lookin' road
street, and bow in silence
sight of a black limousin
leave even the biggest ski
tears from laughing.
With dashes of slapstick
dy, a most unpredictable p
an array of talented acton
Beverly Hillbillies" is one
whole family can enjoy.
