...writing movies. But Hollywood money, she discovered, wasn't real: "It's congealed snow; it melts in your hand." In the '40s, the snow melted even faster as she constantly supported left-wing causes. In 1953, she collaborated on an unsuccessful play, The Ladies of the Corridor, about lonely women living in a hotel. Campbell died in 1963 (they had divorced in 1947 but remarried in 1950), and Dorothy Parker, her health failing, returned to Manhattan.

Larry Bell's clear, untitled glass boxes, for example, gleam like mother-of-pearl, thanks to optical coating methods developed by industry technicians. Many other works were assembled by technicians from artists' instructions or, like the Samaras Corridor, built by museum craftsmen working from the artists' blueprints...
...bound for an unwanted House can match the wrath of the student separated from his chosen roommate. The plaster wall of one fourth-floor corridor sports a newly-kicked hole to prove it. The kicker, who said the wall gave very easily, will be floating in Leverett and his roommate, in Dunster...
