...Hasty Pudding offering. This year's showcase of lousy puns and a male kickline deals with spies in Near East opium dens and a butler who, quoting T.S. Eliot, foils a dastardly scheme to prevent forever Anglo-Saxon morality. Or something like that. The plot doesn't really matter, with all those sumptuous sets and gorgeous costumes and knock-out numbers. And those legs. At the Hasty Pudding Theater (would any decent place house this show...

...problem with the show (and ultimately with the station, if all goes according to plan) is simple. Take seven different artists, more than seven different materials, and no matter how hard you try, you get a series of isolated visual incidents." Even the co-sponsors of the project can't agree in philosophy. Architect Cambridge Seven hope to express "the nature of a subway station as one of transition and movement, a place where people are 'passing through' en route to a destination...
