...Nasher has begun work on a "platform city" in Atlanta, and he expects to expand his handsome NorthPark center in Dallas into a similar amalgam of rental housing, hotels and parks. A Cleveland developer this week is announcing plans for a $300 million "Metro City" shopping mall in suburban Euclid; it will include 1,000 apartments, a 400-room hotel, a motel, and a 22-story office building...
...conducted programs of Rossini and Hindemith in Canada; Korean Violinist Young Uck Kim, 20, performed Saint-Saëns' Concerto No. 3 in Corpus Christi, Texas; and an eight-year-old Japanese cherub named Hitomi Kasuya played part of a Mozart violin concerto in Albuquerque and in South Euclid, Ohio...

...Liaison, by John Bennett, has some strange charm, looming like a cross between an oversized scuba diver and a mechanical caricature of an elephant (though it's hard to see in what corner of the living room it would fit). But there is no such justification for those Euclid stairs; even as a literary joke, they are not worth the floor space they occupy, and someone ought to have the energy to say so. George Segal's plaster figures, produced by the ostensibly simple method of wrapping a subject in plaster-soaked rags, are unaccountably melancholy and powerful...
