Knowing You, Knowing Me Coup d'etat Sweeping England during the month is Bjorn Again, a band that only covers ABBA songs. While the craze never crosses the Atlantic, the Bay City Rollers do enjoy renewed respect. Walk the Wildside Oregon's most notorious Washington resident, Marky Mark Hatfield certainly owns up to hanging with quite a funky bunch. Dropping the pretense of infallibility, Hatfield admits to errors on ’ financial disclosure forms, including a formally unan­ nounced $17,000 from a California widow. During the month, the Senate Ethics Committee, FBI, Justice Department and a South Carolina grand jury were investigating his financial adventures. Once more to the breach Coincidentally during the month, Harry Lonsdale, the richest anti-establishment can­ didate in the Western world, announces another run at the Senate. Well, at least he was the richest until Ross Perot flirted with the White House six months later. Keanu, Tm Yours "My Own Private Idaho," Gus Van Sant's eagerly anticipated follow-up to "Drugstore Cowboy," opens around the country starring River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves. Replete with cameos by several Portland icons and inspired in equal measure by the B-52s and Shakespeare, the film follows the travails of a narcoleptic street kid and the disinherited son of a big-city mayor. "Idaho" garners strong reviews nationally, and ends up on many crit­ ics' Ten Best Lists. Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide flees the West Indian island on Sept. 30 after a military coup removes him from power. While the democratically elected Aristide seeks refuge in Europe, thousands of Haitians hop onto unsafe boats in an effort to run from the political turmoil ravaging the topsy-turvy nation. When they land in America, they are met with an unsympathetic welcome from George Bush, who wants to send them back, saying they are simply eco­ nomic refugees. Through the complicity of the Supreme Court, many are repatriated against the wishes of many in Congress who call the move racist. Blood makes the grass grow Wanda Webb Holloway, better known as the "Pom Pom Mom," is found guilty by a Houston jury on Sept. 3 of plotting to kill the mother of a rival cheerleader candidate at her daughter's school. Holloway, who want­ ed to enhance her child's chances, receives 15 years. HARRY LONSDALE BubbleLand Eight people, with obviously little else to do, enter Biosphere 2, a two-year under­ ground ecology experiment which will examine life inside specific uncontaminated con­ ditions. Early on, one of the participants cuts a finger and must drop out of the project, leaving many observers to question whether the injury was intentional.
