THE TALK OF THE TOWN
"Crucify him." Outside the I.R.T. entrance at Seventy-second Street, they will
repeat Pilate's words to the mob: "Here
is the man!" And at the Soldiers' and
Sailors' Memorial in Riverside Park the
disciples will be reminded of the nobility of losing life for the sake pf a larger
cause. The only new stop this year will
be at the West Side rail yard at Sixtysixth Street, where a homeless people's
shantytown was bulldozed by the police
last month to make way for a Donald
Trump condominium complex. "It has
no particular parallel to the Passion play,"
Karpen explains, "but it is, in a sense, a
scene of modern crucifixion."
The idea for the procession arose
three years ago, when several of Karpen's
parishioners said they wanted to get a
hands-on experience of Easter. Karpen,
who is thirty-nine, barrel-chested, and
wears a graying ponytail, thought that
busy midtown Manhattan would make
an interesting setting for the procession.
"The first year we carried the cross, a
lot of people hurrying home didn't
even look," he says. "It must have been
like that for Jesus—it was a time when
crucifixions were commonplace." The
spectacle did, however, get a thumbs-up
from various jaded New Yorkers, including prostitutes. The bearers handed
out leaflets explaining what they were
up to, and quite
a few passersby
joined them.
As in previous
years, the most dramatically charged
moment is likely
to be at the end.
Six years ago, when
the ceiling of the
nearby B'naijeshurun Temple caved
in, the radically
ecumenical congregation of St.
Paul and St. Andrew invited its Conservative Jewish
neighbors to share the church building.
Karpen, who has been a Methodist minister since 1986 and is in a doctoral program studying the historical roots of
Christianity, has worked assiduously to
bring the two congregations together.
That relationship will be tested on Good
Friday, when the Christians drag their
cross to the church door just as the Jews
inside are finishing Shabbat services.
Mi
Historically, Good Friday has been an
occasion for violence based on the fallacy
that "the Jews" killed Jesus. For Rabbi
Rolando Matalon, of B'nai Jeshurun, the
timing is an occasion for cautious hopefulness. 'They are cleansing the ritual of
negative associations," he says. "But
something like this, i f it isn't carefully
planned, can become dangerous." It's a
point not lost on Karpen, who once led
a similar procession to a rally held in protest against the Gulf War, only to have
the cross confiscated as a weapon. "As I
was telling the cops, 'No, it's a symbol of
peace,' the reality of the cross hit home
for the first time," he says. "It is a dangerous weapon. It certainly was for Jesus."
ITS IN THE CAI\D5
E
options open, allowing a play to pass in
the belief that a better chance lies elsewhere in the deck For instance, he was
deep in just such an option the night
American Airlines pilots threatened tp
walk out. Bruce Lindsey, a Presidential
aide, recalls that when he approached his
boss, shortly after midnight, the President was contemplating a red five that
was just sitting there, crying out to be
placed on a black six. "It was driving me
crazy," Lindsey says. When Lindsey, who
is a cutthroat opponent of the President
during their long-running hearts competition, suggested the move, the reply
came back that the President was waiting for the second red five in his stockpile to tum up, which might uncover the
king he desperately needed to keep the
game alive.
Contradicting the assumption that
solitaire is a game for loners, the Presidentfrequentlyplays it when others are
around, no matter whether he's in the
Oval Office or the more private Treaty
Room. He has also been observed
hunched over the nightstand in his dressing room, on the second floor of the
White House, lost in solitaire beneath a
photograph of Chelsea.
Apparently, he can go for hours, his
long fingers arranging the cards in the
seven neat piles of Klondike Solitaire (as
the most familiar form of the game is
called). Over and over, folding and shuffling, the President keeps score in his
head, using the Las Vegas rules that allow five dollars for every card stacked up
top. His aides have got used to his playing solitaire during briefings; they long
ago realized that he can listen and play
at the same time. Dick Morris, the
former White House shadow, sees the
habit as therapeutic. "He has so much intellectual energy that he has to siphon
some of it off in order to be able to
think," Morris says, speculating that
Presidential solitaire may also satisfy "a
kind of need to bring order out of chaos
and entropy."
The President keeps decks of Bicycles
in the Oval Office. On Air Force One,
he uses military-issue playing cards. Not
even his closest aides have figured out exactly how much time he spends dealing to himself. "Solitaire," Lindsey says
thoughtfully, "is a pretty solitary game." •
VEN though Bill Clinton's mother
loved her afternoons at the track,
the President has never been much of a
gambler. He is, however, an inveterate
cardplayer, who has computed that the
twelve-minute helicopter ride from the
South Lawn of the White House to
Andrews Air Force Base is just long
enough for two hands of hearts. The
President saves hearts for groups of three
to five, engages in contract rummy when
he has two willing partners, and when he
has no one to play with deals solitaire. All
this provides significant material for
Clintonologists—especially now that,
newly confined to a sedentary position,
he is likely to haul out the cards more often than ever. Bernard Beck, a sociologist at Northwestern who is an expert
on why people do the
things they do, says,
"These games are the
choices of a policy wonk
rather than of a gunfighter or a gambler. It's
not his courage or his
daring the President
likes to test but his ability to improve his chances through his
own wits. A wonderful thing about solitaire is that you're not taking advantage
of your opponent. Instead, the President
is taking advantage of as many choices
as possible."
The Clinton approach to solitaire is
one of hedging his bets. According to
those who have looked over his shoulder,
the President doesn't seize every oppor- "Tony Lake Is Missing, "Jane Mayer; "Crosswalk,"
tunity to move a card; he likes to keep his Russell Shorto; "It's in the Cards, ° Karen Ball.
