...development, currently underway, consists of changing a sizeable garage at the corner of Mt. Auburn and Boylston Streets into a shopping mall. The mall, tentatively to be called "The Garage," will house specialty and craft shops, and cover half a block. A pedestrian thoroughfare will connect Boylston St. to Duster St. Work on the Garage has been in progress since last winter, and the mall should open for occupancy sometime next year...
Several major collaborations of this sort were released last year. My favorite is Blue Memphis Suite (Warner Brothers), which features the incomparable singer-pianist Memphis Slim, backed by guitarist Peter Green (Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Fleetwood Mac), organist John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), Duster Bennett on harmonica, Chris Spedding, Pete Winfield, and others.

It is a tour de force of textural and harmonic complexity within the blues idiom. On side...
...than about conditions on Mars, some 80 million miles away. As scientists monitored the pictures and scientific data being transmitted from Mariner 9, in its second week in orbit around the distant planet, Mars was still enshrouded in a raging dust storm.

Faced with the growing possibility that the Martian skies will not clear up completely during Mariner's planned three-month photography mission, JPL controllers fed a new temporary "shooting script" into the spacecraft's onboard computer, thus...

But opening night-which aired some particularly imaginative segments, notably two charming cartoons and a droll sketch of a Mississippi crop duster-abruptly ended after 45 minutes in a foofaraw symptomatic of public TV's major ailment in the U.S. Since PBS and its producers get much of their financing from the Federal Government, and since this funding is not insulated from querulous annual scrutiny, the network quakes at the least cavil...
...when you're through shopping what happens? You bring home your rabbit skirt or your feather duster and it's the wrong size. Or you get a tie for Joe, Bobby Vinton for Nancy, a blue chip for Dad-and Mom feels left out. And of course most sale items are non-returnable. Shopping is fun, but what can you get that the whole family can enjoy...
