Williamsburg
players re-enact
true slave trade
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — She came out of the tav
ern sobbing, her head buried in her husband’s chest.
“Please, please don’t do this. Please, Mr. Taylor, buy me,
too,” Lucy begged the landowner who had just paid 62
British pounds for her husband, Daniel.
The white slave traders stood impassively as the black
family was broken apart. Behind them some 3,000 people
stood silent and uneasy.
When the re-enactment of a day in the life of Colonial
Williamsburg was over, some in the audience Monday were
weeping, too.
Among them was a civil rights activist who had denounced
the re-enactment beforehand as trivializing black history.
‘T would be lying if I said I didn’t come out with a differ
ent view,” said Jack Gravely, Virginia political action direc
tor for the NAACP.
“The presentation was passionate, moving and educa
tional,” he said.
The auction was one of the most controversial re-enact
ments that Colonial Williamsburg had attempted, and it
drew a smattering of sign-carrying protesters to the tourist
community of restored 18th century houses and shops.
While organizers at Colonial Williamsburg said the re
enactment dramatized the horrors of slavery, some com
plained that it cheapened history and dealt with an episode
too painful to handle in a theater-like production.
“This is pure and simple entertainment, making money
off people's oppression,” said Andrew Highsmith, a student
from Cincinnati. “It’s not showing the true history of what
it was like to be a slave. Where is the story of people who
fought back?”
Larry Earl, an actor who has taken part in several re-en
actments, said that in one recent show, a slave was depicted
killing his abusive master. “There were two forms of resis
tance against slavery, and we showed both,” he said.
The slave auction was based on a real-life experience: In
1773, slaves Lucy and Daniel, both house servants, were
sold to separate owners. Sukey, a laundry woman, met a
kinder fate. Her husband, Johnny, was a freed slave who
managed to buy her for 42 pounds.
Christy Coleman, who portrayed Lucy, emerged before
the presentation to calm the spectators.
“They were getting very angry very quickly,” Coleman
said of people gathered on a cobblestone lane by the
Wetherburn Tavern. “This is important because it human
izes slavery; it puts a face on what happened.”
“I felt this was nothing more than a show, not an authen
tic history,” said Curtis Harris, of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference.

Gilman and Rodbell receive Noli
Prize for discovering G-proteirs
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Two
Americans, Alfred G. Gilman and
Martin Rodbell, won the Nobel
Prize in medicine on Monday.
Gilman and Rodbell received
the award for their discovery of
"G-proteins and the role of these
proteins in signal transduction in
cells,” said a statement from the
Nobel Assembly at Sweden’s
Karolinska Institute.
Gilman, 53, was born in New
Haven, Conn. He currently
works in the department of phar
macology at the University of
Texas, in Dallas.
Rodbell, 69, is from Baltimore.
He works at the National Insti
tute of Environmental Health
Sciences, in North Carolina.
According to the statement,
the scientists made a “para
mount” discovery that helped sci
entists understand the way cells
communicate with each other.
The scientists found that G-pro
teins act as “signal transducers,
which transmit and modulate sig
nals in cells,” the statement said.
They found that disturbances
in the G-proteins’ functions — too
many or too few of them — can
lead to disease.
Gilman and Rodbell found
that, in some common diseases,
such as diabetes and alcoholism,
there may be some symptoms that
are due to "altered signaling via
G-proteins.”
The two scientists found that
“mutated and overactive” G-pro
teins are found in some tumors,
the statement said.
The scientists chose the name
G-protein because they “bind”
guanosine triphosphate, or GTP.
The scientists made the discov
ery while working separately in
the 1960s and 1970s.
Rodbell and his team was
working at the U.S. National In
stitutes of Health at the time of
the discovery. Gilman was work
ing at the University of Virginia
at Charlottesville.

The whole idea of talking
about ‘lovestyles’ stems from the
fact that people can and do love
romantically in different ways.
Many of us know that things
that are important about roman
tic relationships to one person
may not be to another. People
share different, similar and
sometimes opposing attitudes to
ward love.
John Alan Lee studied major
conceptions of love that have
evolved in the western world
over the past 2,000 years. He
described his findings by de
scribing a typology of six types
of love portrayed in a closed cir
cle, analogous to the colors on a
color wheel. “The color of love”
theory holds that there are
three primary types of love and
three secondary styles that are
transformations of the primary
types. Susan and Clyde Hen
drick then developed a scale to
identify these six love attitudes
so that they could be linked to
other variables. What follows is
a brief description of the six
lovestyles:
Eros is an expression of ro
mantic, passionate love. The
erotic lover is sensual, and be
comes involved and committed
quickly. Physical intensity, hon
esty, and openness characterizes
the Eros relationship, and
healthy levels of self-esteem al
low erotic lovers to focus on each
other exclusively but without
possessiveness or jealously.
Ludus is a contemporary ex
pression of the European courtly
love that was developed into a
rather skilled art form in preced
ing centuries. Love is viewed as
a game, and the goal of the ludic
lover is to play artfully, with no
involvement and no hurt feelings
with either partner. Ludic
lovers like a variety of physical
types, and are happiest when
they are involved with several
partners in ongoing relation
ships.
Storge is a friendship-based
love. It develops when two peo
ple have known each other for a
long time and do not so much
fall in love as grow into love.
There is no preferred physical
type, and storgic lovers share in
terests, and activities rather
than intense emotions with their
partners.
Mania (Eros+Ludus) trans
forms erotic intensity and ludic
game-playing into a possessive,
dependent, moody type of love.
The manic lover yearns for love,
yet expects it to be painful.
There is no preferred physical
type. Mood swings and physical
symptoms are typical, as well as
a rear of loss of the partner that
fosters the kind of jealousy that
can sabotage a relationship.
Manic lovers have been found to
have a low sense of self-esteem.
Rarely does mania end happily.
Pragma (Ludus+Storge) com
bines storgic stability with a lu
dic, non-emotional approach.
The pragmatic lover goes “shop
ping” for a suitable mate, and
may prosper by using a comput
er dating service. A genetically
compatible partner is more im
portant than a physically ap
pealing one.
Agape (Eros+Storge) has the
intensity of Eros and the sta
bility of Storge. Agapic love is
more cognitive than emotional,
and is an “all dying love” that
takes no thought of the self but
only of the beloved other. The
true agapic lover is somewhat
rare.
Is there a style of love that
describes you fairly well? Re-
Lev
Killers,”
search conducted by the
dricks has shown that many
lege age women tend to be
matic, manic, and stori
whereas most college age
tend to be ludic. Basical
women seem to be relati 1
practical, but can alsobeidi
tic and emotional. Men, oi
other hand, generally tab
more casual approach toll
By being aware of the varii
types of love and by explt
our own needs and wants t
cerning romantic relationsk:
we can become more sophist::;
ed in our love interactioi
which will hopefully reduce
large numbers of love misraal
es and the resulting miseries
love.
