Even now you can get an awfully cushy ride--on one of the new high-tech recumbents, which are suddenly taking off in popularity. On this baby, you ride low, spine against a backrest, legs raised to pedal. It does take some getting used to, though, because you depend more on your leg muscles, and the steering and balance can be a bit tricky at first. Recumbent fans swear these roadsters can eliminate every physical obstacle to cycling, from neck pain to sciatica. They're also easier to pedal, Dr. Mirkin explains, because they use the higher, more muscular section...

"Sanitation," which signals Haacke's incarnation as the king of cut-and-paste, has neither an aesthetic nor a political leg to stand on. The ideas contained in the exhibit are too focused and yet too disparate to evoke any response, anger or otherwise. No doubt it makes one pine for Haacke's kinetic sculptures, such as 1963-65's "Condensation Cube," which leaves the viewer with visions of Yves Klein...
