Usage:

Picture a motorized loveseat that bangs against the wall and the floor, as an audio book plays from an attached pair of headphones. Or imagine an opaque, reflective black box made of Plexiglass and engraved with the sort of gibberish characters familiar from incompatibilities in word processing programs. Such pieces of installation art are no longer actually in existence, but images documenting their impermanent lifespan form part of a new exhibit, entitled “That Was Then and This is Now: interventions, installations, and performance art documented.” The showing, affiliated with The Harvard Advocate, will...

...whom?”Yes, needless to say, I was thrilled. Will is a 300lb giant. My room is large, but certainly designed for one inhabitant. So far, we’ve managed OK: I’ve given him a small corner, just between my door and my loveseat, with which to do what he pleases. His bed is an Aero mattress, conveniently stored in the closet during the day. He brought his own comforter. Kelly Clarkson is always available on his laptop, which occasionally wanders from Will’s corner on to my desk. Although...

When Baum cited "an oak bedroom set," she lost control. "These are family heirlooms," she shouted. "They've been in our family for 150 years. They're not for sale." But they were.

...Comfort (ABC, Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. E.S.T.). As Mary Tyler Moore's Ted Baxter, Knight embodied a wonderful comic oaf: vain, inept and hilarious. In his new series he is just another henpecked husband, who must put up with two nubile daughters and fall over a loveseat every eight minutes. The other seven minutes, Too Close slavers over the sight of bountiful Lydia Cornell as she ponders the implications of taking a deep breath. The show can not see the farce for the tease. The actors exaggerate their gestures grotesquely, as if performing R-rated charades...

...raided Broadway, Hollywood and London for directors and set designers of the caliber of Garson Kanin, Tyrone Guthrie, Alfred Lunt and Cecil Beaton, who were imaginative if not daring. And he has at least reduced the incidence of love duets between a bandy-legged tenor and an overstuffed loveseat of a so prano; only the tones, Bing discreetly has hinted, should be pear-shaped. Significantly, wardrobe mistresses at the Met report that over a few short years the average size of the women's costumes shrank from...
