| Encounter with evil influenced work - Cincinnati.com Posted: 27 Nov 2009 03:51 AM PST Twenty-five years have come and gone since Anita Vizedom passed up a chance to bake Christmas cookies with her cousins. That decision saved her life. And sent her on a lifelong quest for justice. Vizedom's tenacious work over the last eight years as an assistant Hamilton County prosecutor has earned her a well-deserved, award-winning reputation as a voice for victims of violent crime. She has no qualms about speaking out in court and calling criminals "wicked." "Someone needs to speak on behalf of the victims and their families," she said during a rare relaxed moment in her office. "They never deserved what happened to them. They are truly innocent." That description fits her family. An encounter with evil changed her loved ones' lives forever a quarter century ago on the day after Thanksgiving. Late that night, a former boarder by the name of Rhett DePew - "I don't like to call him a person," Vizedom declared - broke into her cousins' small Butler County home. He stabbed three of them to death and set the house on fire. "I remember my mom getting the call at our house in Hanover Township and me running down to the basement to get my sister," Vizedom said. "She was listening to music." She still remembers the tune. It was Elton John's "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues." On their way to the hospital, Vizedom and her family passed her cousins' house. "It was," she recalled with a shiver, "still on fire." Among the dead that night were her 27-year-old cousin, Theresa Jones, and Jones' seven-year-old daughter, Aubrey. The fire and the knife wounds also claimed the life of 12-year-old Elizabeth Burton. Beth, as the future prosecutor called her younger cousin, was 12. Vizedom was 13. "We were close," Vizedom said. And not just in age. They played on the same softball team and attended the same junior high. They had the same hair color. They looked like sisters. Even down to the matching cowlicks. The killer - whose death sentence was overturned and changed to life imprisonment in 2005 - spared Jones' younger daughter, Megan. That night, she had just celebrated her first birthday. The murders "caused a humongous ripple effect that's still being felt throughout our entire family," Vizedom said. "There is no healing. There is no closure. This is not something you can ever get over." The tragedy changed her forever. Encountering "real, absolute evil in the world" robbed her of her innocence. "It still amazes me," she noted, "some people think there's no such thing as evil or something like this can't happen." The University of Cincinnati Law School graduate carries these thoughts, feelings and memories with her, along with criminals' bulging case files, as she strides into court. "She really wants to get the bad guys," said Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Robert Ruehlman. "She's one of our best," said her boss, Prosecutor Joe Deters. "She's passionate about victims," said Common Pleas Judge Charles Kubicki Jr., "without letting that get in the way of her professionalism so the guilty get punished." Her passion won one of this year's four Hope in Heels awards. The honor, to be presented Dec. 4 by five members of the Monfort Heights-based Besse family, recognizes advocates for victims of violent crimes. "This tall," - Vizedom stands five feet, eight inches - "thin woman is so beautiful, she could be a model," remarked Marie Besse, the award's founder. "But, in the courtroom, she's a tenacious bulldog." Vizedom's tenacity in the case of Michael Williamson won her the award. Williamson raped three girls, ages 10, 12 and 13, over three years. He did so, his attorney claimed, to keep the girls away from their "out of control" mother. That claim enraged Vizedom. In court, she called Williamson's actions "absolutely disgusting, nauseating." Behind the scenes, she regularly visited the three victims at their foster home. She saw to it that the traumatized young women would not have to testify. She also saw to it that Williamson got a sentence of 80 years to life. Vizedom, 38, said she was "just doing the job I love." The award comes with a $1,000 prize. Vizedom, a Cheviot resident, plans to donate the money to care for the city's first police dog, Charlie. "I love animals," said Vizedom, the owner of a hound named Piggy. But, she hates bad guys. Especially murderers. "There is so much fascination with killers," she said, wincing as if she'd just bitten into a rotten tomato. "Biographies are written about them. But, you don't need to read those books," she added, slashing the air with her right index finger. "Here's all you need to know about these guys: They're bad. They're evil. And, they need to be taken out of society. That's it." She finds society's "sick fascination" with killers "appalling. You never see biographies about victims or their families." And she never sees fright flicks on the big screen. "I've never been to a horror movie," she said. "If I'm in another room and the TV is on and a commercial for one of those movies comes on, I hold my hands over my ears until it's over. I have no idea why it's entertaining to see people in fear of being murdered. I don't want to hear the screams." She paused and lowered her voice. "Because," she whispered, "I'm sure there were screams that night." She knows her cousin Beth fought back. "From what little I've read of the reports - and it never will be a lot - I know she had lots of defensive wounds. "That's not surprising," Vizedom added. "I knew Beth. She would have done everything she could to help herself as well as her sister and her sister's children that night." Again and again she revisits "that night" when she was supposed to be with her cousins baking cookies for Christmas. That family tradition, so sweet and so innocent, so filled with fun and happy memories, ended with the lives of her three cousins. "We still mark that day," Vizedom said. But the new tradition is based on sadness. "Here's what I do," she said. "I get depressed." But not for long. Vizedom refuses to dwell on the tragedy. "I finally have in my mind a vision of their lives," she said, rather than their deaths. In her dreams, her cousins "are alive. I talk about them and to them. "In some way," she added, "I still have a relationship with Beth. I have her picture up in my house." She thinks about her cousin as a grown woman of 37. She wonders what clothes she would be wearing. What color would her hair be? Would she be married? Would she have kids? "Would she still have this cowlick?" she asked tugging at a wayward lock. Beth and her other cousins are with Vizedom in court. As she gets ready to question a piece of evil on the witness stand, she quickly glances over her shoulder to catch a glimpse of the victim's family. For a split second, she can sense the spirit of her cousin. Vizedom never said they've talked about the job she's doing. But, you can bet, Beth would be proud.

| A Populist Frankenstein - Daily Beast Posted: 27 Nov 2009 06:00 AM PST
"Who is Lou Dobbs?" As the genially malevolent talking head considers a bid for the presidency, a lot of people are asking themselves that question. It recalls another similar query, "Who is John Galt?"—a question that runs through Ayn Rand's sensationally popular 1957 novel, Atlas Shrugged. Perhaps it's President Obama's increasing incapacity to seem actually engaged with his country's traumas beyond eloquently declaring his engagement, again and again, but I see failures of the liberal imagination everywhere—most recently in the way two new biographies of Rand were treated by the liberal commentariat who review books. This is too bad, because if you can't understand the popularity of Ayn Rand, you are never going to understand either the popularity of Lou Dobbs, or what seem to be Dobbs' outsized political ambitions. Dobbs and Beck are self-created, hail from humble origins, and seem to have the audacity, not just to hope for change, but to wreak it. Reviewers belittled Rand as a crackpot philosopher, or as a lousy novelist, or as a highly neurotic egoist desperately in need of some self-criticism. It would be hard to refute any of those judgments. But no one seriously considered her as a powerful mythmaker, whose archetypal tales of individual initiative and self-creation respond to the way a lot of Americans like to think of themselves. Some reviewers never even mentioned the self-made world-beater Galt. Instead, they dismissed Rand's fans as examples of arrested development or as simply unhinged, in much the same way as the political historian Richard Hofstadter attributed the fanatical conservatism of the 1950s to a bad case of status anxiety. But Rand's novels sell hundreds of thousands of copies a year, while the descendants of Hofstadter's hordes are a permanent fact of American life. The dysfunction of rage and resentment can only get you so far. There has to be something more to a populism that seems to be only getting stronger. In that sense, Rand's fiction is a "teachable" oeuvre. Dobbs and Glenn Beck, who has also been making politically ambitious noises lately, are figures that seem to have walked out of an American nightmare, which for some people is in fact the American Dream. Like Rand's John Galt, the son of a mechanic who bends the static world to his dynamic will, Dobbs and Beck are also self-created, hail from humble origins, and seem to have the audacity, not just to hope for change, but to wreak it. Like Galt, they spring from the country's gut and therefore know how to speak to it. Until now, such figures have stridden the phantasmal plains of American folklore and popular culture. Another similar character is Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes in the 1957 film A Face in the Crowd. Like Galt—a cross between Prometheus and Joe the Plumber— Rhodes is an eerily familiar precursor. A small-time television personality, he first attains popularity and power through the same type of abusive and abrasive behavior flaunted by his successors: He trashes his sponsor to the delight of the audience. Sales soar, and Rhodes is rocketed toward a political career before his hypocrisy and unrestrained appetites derail him. It's significant that both A Face in the Crowd and Atlas Shrugged came out in 1957. That was the era of the advent of television, and both Rand and Budd Schulberg—who wrote the film—were inspired by the new medium's power to shape mass opinion. How much more powerful are our mass media now! Cable, combined with radical advances in permissiveness, and with the exponential amplifications of the Internet, is a demagogue's dream. With the dawn of our digital age, the demagogues of American folklore have become the real bugbears of American society. The reviewers denounced Rand the novelist for her one-dimensional characters, but she knew what she was about. One-dimensionality is the key to myth; mythic characters are strangers whom, when we encounter them, we feel we have always known. In other words, mythic characters are celebrities. Rand was aware of this phenomenon, and so was Schulberg, who portrays Rhodes with an electric simplicity that makes him a kind of pre-celebrity before he is discovered. Both writers knew that celebrity—which provokes a feeling of intimacy with someone you don't and never will know as a person—was the new prerequisite to political success.
