Book about male victim of harassment
“Disclosure”
Michael Crichton
Alfred A. Knopf
“Hell hath no fury like a woman
scorned” never rang more true than in
Michael Crichton’s newest book, “Dis
closure.”
Best known for the thrillers “The
Andromeda Strain” and “Jurassic
Park,” Crichton shifts his attention to
high-tech industries.
“Disclosure” focuses on Tom Sand
ers, a research head at DigiCom, a
corporation similar to Sony or Gener
al Electric. While DigiCom is under
going a reorganization and merger,
Sanders is passed over for a long
awaited promotion. This shock is com
pounded by the announcement that
his new boss is Meredith Johnson, a
former lover.
Johnson quickly ascends to power,
and her first act is to lure Sanders into
a romantic situation, which he rejects.
Infuriated, Johnson screams bloody
murder.
The next day, Sanders is charged
by company officials with sexual ha
rassment. Angered at the bogus charg
es, he fights back. With the hclpof his
MUSIC REVIEWS
“Mary Queen of Scots”
Eugenius
Atlantic
1 really don’t know if Eugene Kelly,
lead singer of Eugcnius, is the genius
he claims to be, but it seems as if he
knows what he’s saying—or does he?
The bee-drone voice of Kelly poll i
nates his twisted lyrics with some kind
of musical potion. Kelly seems to at
tack the same anti-establishment lost
generation love songs as everyone else,
but Kelly seems to look into a di fferent
mirror—a mirror like those they have
in haunted houses and freak shows.
Eugenius has a sort of musical
vengeance. Like a cat locked in a
closet for two days w ithout a litter box,
the group is scratching to get out and
attack. Kelly and Gordon Keen have a
good go at it on the guitar, but it seems
the final elements of genius arc still
unaccounted for.
Underneath all that new rock tar
nish shines a little Bcatlesque music
— maybe it’s the London fog.
Kelly does know what he’s doing
as far as building a foundation of
unique lyrics and messages, but some
thing is static in the musical quality of
it all. Eugcnius starts on one level and
never flies higher or takes the plunge.
Although not a release for royalty,
“Mary Queen of Scots” is a quaint
little number for an afternoon tea and
crumpets.
— Paula Lavigne
“Rocky Road”
The Young Dubliners
Scotti Brothers Records
Since U2 went mainstream, there
has been no lack oflrish bands seek
ing to replace them in the minor
lawyer, Sanders uncovers shocking
truths behind Digicom’s merger, as
well as ulterior motives behind the
advances of his boss.
Crichton again shows his ability to
delve into a complex subject and ex
tract enough information for an inter
esting premise. His intentional use of
jargon and tech-talk gives the reader a
feeling of inclusion, as well as an
understanding of the pressures under
which the characters are operating.
Aside from the story, the greatest
appeal of “Disclosure” is the reversal
of situations. The decision to have a
woman harasser is efTective, as it shows
that the act itself is one of power and
the ability to manipulate others.
Crichton takes what could have
easily become a standard business
world thriller and creates a new per
spective on the politics of business,
through the eyes of a male victim.
“Disclosure” may never be consid
ered great literature, but it’s new ap
proach to the ever-growing problem
of sexual harassment makes it a worth
while read.

league college radio alternative music
ranks. The Young Dubliners arc the
latest entry with their first release
“Rocky Road.”
It’s definitely rock with a brogue,
taking its cue from the experiences of
native Dubliners Paul O’Toole and
Keith Roberts, the band’s front men.
“Rocky Road to Dubl in” and “Enough
is Enough” explore the modern Irish
situation. “Ashley Falls,” a showcase
for the group’s instrumental talents,
was voted Music Connection maga
zine’s Best Single By an Unsigned
Band. The six tracks (far too few) arc
traditional Irish folk with mandolin,
(lute and violin laid over a driving
beat.
The Dubliners hail from Los An
geles, where O’Toole and Roberts first
made their debut as an acoustic duo,
making their premiere on (what else)
St. Patrick’s Day 1988. To break from
the acoustic mold, the group added
more musicians: Bren Holmes, also a
native Dubliner; three Americans; and
Lovely Previn, daughter of conductor
Andre Previn.
Young Dubliners’ first truly national
exposure and with hope not their last.
