But reviewing your singing endorsement list has got me thinking--You list REM's "Superman" with IBM... REM covered The Clique's Superman, so... it's probably the same ad--the guy whose post I forwarded seemed very specific about Lotus, so maybe IBM is wrong? Maybe there's TWO ads? And is the music The Clique's version (doubtful), REM's (much more likely) or a cheesy remake of that???

(pawn: pRImE anARcHIsT wOrLd nEwS 2NiTe) First accused of picking his nose, Untied States Senator Ted Stevens from Alaska is now taking flak for shoving what appears to be a cheap cigar up his nose for a thrill. Some thought it was a vibrator, and a message to Monika Lewinski sitting behind Trent Lottery during the removal hearings of Clinton's impeachment. Getting the last laugh, or at least trying, Stevens explained it's a turbo- powered, battery operated nose-hair plucker.

A cheeky-tongue Prime Anarchist says, "you be the judge." ***U R Tuned 2 KATI*** *** Radius Radio. *** *** 98 on your dial*** A FONE COMPANY THAT NO ONE HATES??? By Betty Beard Proudly Reprinted From: The Arizona Republic Feb. 7, 1999 Nearly a dozen years ago, Emmett White would drive about seven miles across the Gila River Indian Reservation's desert to a Casa Blanca store to make a phone call. The Gila River resident couldn't afford to pay US West for a phone in his rural home. "It was going to cost me $30,000," White said. The lack of phones was more than an inconvenience. During floods, residents became isolated because they were unable to cross the Gila River to get from one side of the reservation to the other, tribal Councilman Harry Cruye said. But with persistence and a federal loan, the Gila River Community 11 years ago formed its own phone company, Gila River Telecommunications Inc., which today offers a $12-a-month phone service, cellular phones, business phone systems, pagers, satellite TV and Internet connections. Today, the company serves about 1,400 Gila River families. "That's a big jump, considering most people didn't have phones 10 years ago. We're bringing the 21st century into people's homes," said Belinda Nelson, the company's director of human resources. Today, the company stands out for being able to better serve its spread-out Native American market than competitors and for offering advanced features in a community in which half the residents still don't have phones. The Gila River Community was one of the first Indian nations in the state to approach US West about buying out its system, said Jim Roof, a US West spokesman. The original system included a 1950s-vintage switching system. The community formed Gila River Telecommunications Inc., or GRTI, in 1988. Two years later, it received a $12.4 million Rural Electrification Administration loan to replace US West's old system with state-of-the-art equipment that today includes digital switches and 117 miles of fiber-optic cables. US West had no objections to leaving the isolated rural market in some areas, Roof said. "There are areas, especially in the West, where a company specifically focused on small communities has some significant advantages that US West can't enjoy," he said. In late 1997, the Gila River Community bought out the other owner of Gila River Telecommunications, National Telecom Cos. Inc. of Oklahoma City, and became the sole owner. As a company run by and for Native Americans, the company can customize its services to what the 620-square-mile reservation needs. "We are profitable, but because we're owned by the community, profits are not as important as serving the community well," said Brooks Roseman, general manager of GRTI. It recently gave the community its first comprehensive phone book with maps of the reservation. Maps have not been readily available before. The company also installed advanced pay telephones, and residents have to pay only 25 cents to call anyone on the reservation, with no time limit. Along with serving the rural residents, the telephone system at the Lone Butte industrial park near south Chandler, which has 43 businesses, is nearing capacity. The company uses a Chandler address, 7065 W. Allison Drive, while other homes or businesses have Florence, Coolidge or Florence addresses. There are street names, but sometimes no street numbers. Roseman said the company will probably have to get really state-of-the-art and use satellite-based global positioning systems instead of addresses to identify 911 callers. Ironically, the big telephone company, US West, which once decided it would be too expensive to serve such a wide-spread community, could someday find itself competing with this young company in other communities. Customers who live outside the community have already begun calling to see whether they can become a customer. Roseman said that although the company could someday allow that, for now it won't. "We'd like to serve the population of the reservation first and do that well," he said. Betty Beard can be reached at: betty.beard@pni.com. -30- PACKAGE FOR MR. TED KACZYNSKI.

Not happy with doing a Bob Dylan song better than Bob Dylan, a Willie Nelson movie better than Willie, and having more lucrative sweat glands than Clint Black, Garth Brooks has announced he would like to go to training camp this summer. He's hoping an Earth First!?! team might pick him up so he can play semi-pro activism. At the upcoming Round River Rendezvous, (undisclosed location of course) he will train on wearing a bicycle lock around his neck, climbing mountains, sitting on tripods, eating vegetarian foods - also free ranging organic meats, all things he claims he was good at around the cattle ranch as a little boy. Brooks said he was disappointed when informed he will not train on spiking trees, as that is not an Earth First!?! sanctioned event. "Come to find out," said Pablo Tadpole, speaking for EF!?! "Spiking doesn't get taught there at all! One would have to go to US Forest Ranger training camp in the winter." Tadpole is Garth's new errant EF!?! name by the way. He will get it officially after summer training in a ceremony involving bumble bees, rose bushes and Johnny Cash music. "I think I will take Forest Ranger training either after baseball or EF!?!. What I've always wanted to do since I was knee high to a grasshopper poop was spike a tree." HIDE: CLINTON A HIPPY. (PAWN) WASHING. "That BillyBoy," Said S.

"You'd better watch out. You WILL get it. Trouble is you'll have to share him with his harem. This was Hide's first speech in months where he felt he wasn't restricted by the rule of law. "I think I'll grow my hair long like Johnson did after the war," said S Hide, removing his tie, he unbuttoned his shirt to his navel putting both thumbs up quoting Arthur Fonzarelli and showing off his gold Aquarius medallion.
