PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
Gibson donates
to shelter
ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) — When
Mel Gibson leaves South Carolina
after filming “The Patriot,” he will be
remembered for helping expand a
local domestic violence shelter.
Gibson made a
sizable contribu
tion to the Safe
Passage Inc. shel
ter this past week,
said Peggy Payne,
shelter executive
director. Payne
would not say ex
actly how much
Gibson gave, but
“He found a place he thought
would benefit greatly,” Nierob said.
Safe Passage plans to start
building a bigger shelter in Rock Hill
in November or December. It will
have six bedrooms and bathrooms
and offices, as well as play, dining
and laundry areas for as many as
25 people.

Martin’s appearance in Singa

concert-goers in the conservative
city-state were allowed to dance
during the show under new, less
stringent laws.

Gibson’s publicist, Alan Nierob,
confirmed the donation but said the
actor does not like to comment on
Gibson’s philanthropic work and
charitable contributions.
Gibson does not necessarily
make contributions in areas where
he is filming, Nierob said, but in this
case the actor chose Safe Passage
Inc. from a list of South Carolina
charities compiled at his request.

SINGAPORE (AP) — Ricky Martin
ushered in a new era of concert-go
ing freedom in conservative Singa
pore last year. Yesterday, the red-
hot Puerto Rican sensation was
back urging fans to start “Livin’ La
Vida Loca.”
Some 800 die-hard Martin
lovers waited outside in the rain
during a 1 1/2-hour delay caused
by lighting equipment problems be
fore the show began. About 300
had won tickets to the event. The
rest were members of the media

New book to allow readers to explore
the worlds of classic works of literature
WASHINGTON (AP) — Any
one who wants to pinpoint where
James Bond met that blonde with
the bottle of champagne on her
curvy hip need only consult Lan
guage of the Land, an unusual
book published by the Library of
Congress offering maps of imagi
nary places.
Another map shows just where
Tom Sawyer whitewashed his fa
mous fence.
Still another points out the spot
at which Paul Bunyan’s ox, Babe,
trying to catch a field mouse, dug
the Mammoth Cave.
L. Frank Baum’s Wonderful
World of Oz is charted.
Illustrator Dick Martin located
the Shifting Sands and Deadly
Desert, with Emerald City and
Gunda’s Palace smack in the
map’s middle.
A Yellow Brick Road is there as
well, though the road is not clear
ly labeled.
“Literary maps depict ideas as
much as places,” wrote co-author
Martha Hopkins in the book’s in
troduction.
Most literary maps, Hopkins
notes, are not drawn to scale and
contain little detailed information
on topography, geology, towns,
rivers or roads.
They “present a world in
which authors and books are the
dominant features,” she said.
Still, some of the places are real
enough. Author Ian Fleming made
his James Bond stories credible by
searching out authentic settings
for what the library calls his “as
signments and assignations.”
Only Agent 007 himself and his
exploits sprang from Fleming’s
imagination.
J.R.R. Tolkien’s completely
imaginary Middle Earth rates
three highly detailed maps.
“Literary maps
depict ideas as
much as places/
— Martha Hopkins
Co-Author,
Language of the Land
Somewhere between reality
and imagination lies Mark
Twain’s St. Petersburg, the home
of Tom Sawyer, modeled on the
town of Hannibal, Mo.
That’s where the young Sam
Clemens lived before he went pi
loting on the Mississippi, where
he got his pen name.
The half-whitewashed fence is
on St. Petersburg’s Hill Street, just
across from Becky Thatcher’s
house.
“There ain’t anything that is so
interesting to look at as a place
that a book has talked about,”
Twain quotes Tom as saying in lat
er life.
Language of the Land describes
and reproduces the fantastic
maps, along with many others
covering the literary landscape.
It was compiled by Hopkins of
the library’s Interpretive Programs
Office and Michael Buscher of the
Geography and Map Division.
The maps mostly cover Eng
lish-speaking countries — Cana
da and Australia have maps that
illustrate their best-known books.
Even one for Paris gives a large
space to Oscar Wilde and Ameri
can writer Gertrude Stein, whom
the French do not see as impor
tant to their literature.
There’s also a bright map,
shaped and colored like a parrot
— written in English — devoted
to Latin American writers.
Maps from days when Latin
and Greek got more intensive
study show the voyages of
Odysseus and Aeneas.
Even troubled Balkan politics
gets touched on unintentionally.
A map on places in Hungarian
literature includes portions of Ro
mania which once belonged to
Hungary and which many Hun
garian citizens would dearly like
to get back.
