Could We End Corporate Money In Politics? Backers of a referendum before Montana voters next year believe they’ve found a vulnerability on Citizen United

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

Question:

When in the actual fuck, as a country, did we decide that our government gets to demand that we mourn someone in some particular way?

into his voice, "He tried to be involved with un, but it was very difficult." The success of Star Trek didn't make it any easier. Suddenly, Leonard Nimoy found himself transformed from serious actor to pointy-eared pop icon. Grateful as he was, he longed for people to know that he was capable of other things. He performed in the theater, wrote poetry, directed plays, recorded albums. Asked about Chekov, he was more likely to talk about The Cherry Orchard than about Trek costar Walter Koenig. Still, to the world, he was Spock So in 1975 he wrote a book about it, an autobiography called I Am Not Spock, a title that he says was horribly misunder- stood. "People saw that title and said, 'What—he hates Star Trek? He doesn't want anything to do with it?' That wasn't the case at all. The book was an affirma- tion of my relationship with Spock. "But it was my fault," Nimoy adds. "I totally take responsibility." Which is why, 20 years later, he has written a sequel, due out this October (Hyperion). The title this time? I Am Spock. "I say in the new book that you can take classes for acting, fencing, speech, dancing, and dialects. But nobody gives you classes on how to handle celebrity." Adam Nimoy handled it by following a path as different from his father's as he could find. He became an entertainment attorney, working for record companies and finding himself increasingly disillu- sioned with his chosen profession. So when he decided to pursue a new career as a director, his father, reaching out, volunteered to open any doors he could. "I could see," Leonard says, "that he had a passion for [directing] that he'd nev- er had for the law. And he was suddenly a different person. He would ask me about my work. We had passionate exchanges. We found a way to a common ground." That was five years ago, the beginning of the path that led them to this court- room set in the suburbs of Vancouver Along the way, Adam gladly accepted his 14 father's favors; the chance to observe the making of "Star Trek VI" and an entire season of Star Trek: The Next Genera- tion. Adam directed two Next Genera- tion episodes and will soon direct an episode of Deadly Games, the new UPN sci-fi series on which his father is co-ex- ecutive producer. "He's been so helpful and supportive to me," Adam Nimoy says, "I feel like I'm getting back the relationship we didn't have when I was a child." "I wouldn't be doing this job if it weren't for Adam," his father says. "I don't need the work. For me, this was a personal trip." He is chasing a career no longer: Not that he doesn't have plenty of projects to occupy his time. Besides working on the autobiography and Deadly Games, Nimoy is the cocreator of a series of comic books called "Leonard Nimoy's Primortals, based on a story he wrote with the late Isaac Asimov. He is also negotiating with Paramount to put out a special "Nimoy's Notes" videotape edition of the 79 original Star Trek episodes, to be released in 1996. But he isn't looking to direct any more films, nor does he expect to be involved in any future Trek projects. That, he says, would mean too much work, and work is no longer what drives him. "I have five grandkids, and two great homes where I love to spend time. We have friends and family, and I don't know how to tell you how important all that has become to me. I have no unfulfilled dreams." T he final shot of the episode has just been completed. The crew is packed up, ready to move on to another episode. Leonard Nimoy, late for a plane, poses briefly for photos with his fellow actors. "It was nice working with you," the di- rector says, embracing his lead actor and holding him tightly in his arms. "Yes, it was," Nimoy says softly to his son. "I'll see you when you get home." Joe Rhodes te a Freelance writer based in Portland, Ore TY GUIDE JULY 15, 1995

Everybody at once: Uh-huh (laugh- ter all around). Beltran: I wasn't aware of it until the other day when Garrett says to me (adopts a dorky, valley-boy accent): "Duuuuude, c'mon, ya gotta admit you flub more lines than all of us put together." TVGi So whos the earliest? Phillips: Kate is extremely punctual, well prepared, never flubs a line. Mulgrew: I do too! Beltran: I've counted three times this season. Picardo: When Kate flubs a line, don't you all feel just a little better about your- selves? McNeill: It even makes me feel better about bad things that happened years ago. (Mulgrew, holding her sides, nearly falls off her chair again.) I think the Internet is terrifying. Picardo: Yeah, being made fun of in fourth grade doesn't hurt as much when Kate flubs a line.

Beltran: Oooooh, that's a really hard question. Biggs-Dawson: Yeah, we gotta think real hard about that one (more laughter). Beltran (to Wang, in the valley boy ac- cent): Duuuuude, c'mon, ya gotta admit.. Wang: Oh, great, this is just what 1 need. Let me just clarify. The reason I'm late is that, uh...I am so overwhelmed by this fine cast that I find it really hard to get out of bed in the morning. I'm not wor thy of being in their presence no I try to show up late to sabotage myself McNeill (to Bettran): Is that why you flub your lines? 10 Mulgrew (cackling): Because you tell them, Garrett! (Everyone laughs.) Wang: I do not tell them! Biggs-Dawson: We're sitting at this table wondering (who leaks information], and he's sitting right over there! (She points at Wang.) Wang: I cooperate, I don't tell them. I'm not leaking out any information. Picardo: No, we're just kidding. But we do have a leak somewhere a leak in the [production] office. TVG: Is there an upside to the Internet? Like Instant fan reaction to an episode? Picardo: Yes, and that's a good thing. I also got the best explanation of holo- graphic theory in Star Trek from a fan's four page treatise on the Internet. Before that, I never quite understood how my character was supposed to work TVG: This show has made a huge splash in the media. Picardo: Well, when you do four hours € 11 7F 16, 1905 of interviews for each hour of shooting, it's bound to show. Mulgrew (gritting her teeth): But we do it with a smile. TVG: Why is Miss Mulgrew so reluctant to make personal appearances? Mulgrew (looking uncomfortable): I hesitate to say anything about anything because somebody inevitably gets of- fended! See, it's a double-edged sword for me. There are many people who feel I should attend the conventions because that's part of the job and I do want to honor the fans. I in no way want to pa- tronize them. But I find [conventions] a bit of a gray area. I went to one yesterday and I'm on the set today feeling exhaust- ed. It's just not worth it. Not even to do two a year. Because something's going to suffer in my work. And that's what really drives me nuts. Picardo: You have to find a balance between honoring the history of the show and doing the work itself. You don't want the fans to think you're purposely mak- ing yourself unavailable, but, in theory, what they love the most is what's on- screen. Compromising that is not doing the fans justice. Mulgrew: And it's intensely individu- al. If you go around this room, you'll find some of us really enjoy it. (Beltran starts laughing, and the rest follow suit. Every- one is looking at Wang again.) Phillips: There will be plenty of time for appearances we'll be doing this show into the next millennium. Beltran: Unless science discovers that dilithium crystals cannot run a ship, and then our whole premise will be out the window. We'll all be out of a job. TVG: Then what will you do? Phillips: I guess we could change the title of the show to F Troop. Mulgrew: We could do Voyager Christ- mas specials. Picardo: I have my hair replacement clinic to fall back on.

Close Encounters With the Cast of 'Voyager' Out of character, on the record, and off the cuff • With two new white-hot stars in TV's sei-fi universe —namely, Star Trek: Voy- ager and The X-Files-the future of science-fiction and fantasy shows is brighter than ever. In this issue, we celebrate the best and the brightest as we catch up with Trek's wow voyagers, sci-fi icon Leonard Nimoy, and Hercules' hunk-with-a- heart Kevin Sorbo. We also take a look at two of TV's cult faves as they make waves in other media-The X-Files, with a comic book, and Mystery Science Theater 3000, with a feature film. The sci-fi fest conentien next week with a trip to Babylon 5's alternate universe, a close encounter with the cast of Deep Space Nine, and for all you sigh-fi fans a visit with superdude Dean Cain. BY MICHAEL LOGAN F ew TV series debuts have been as hyped or as troubled-as that of UPN's Star Trek: Voyager. From the seemingly endless search for a female Captain Janeway (played for two days by the unwisely cast Genevieve Bujold, then recast with the triumphant Kate Mul- grew) to the headachy task of getting this multimillion-dollar, FX-laden epic on the air every week, the Voyager stars have had very little time to relax, much less ruminate. So, on the last day of their first season, we brought these nine exhausted, punchy players together on the set for their first- ever communal interview.

It's often been written that Miss Mulgrew sets a tone of professionalism for the entire cast. True? (Kate Mulgrew looks surprised, then tries to stifle a laugh.) Robert Duncan MeNeill (Paris): Who's Miss Mulgrew? (laughter all around) Beltran: You know, the one who came in after...I forgot her name you know, Anne Boleyn. McNeill: I guess Miss Mulgrew must set the tone because there was a different tone before she got here. Beltran (laughing): There was no tone before she got here.
