GEORGE SPAVENTA-Poindexter, 21 West 56th. New York Sculptor Spaventa's figures are malformed blobs of metal that look as if they were still taking shape-or beginning to melt. But his elongated, bulbous nudes are balanced firmly on broad bases, seem to grow naturally out of their own bulky substance. More than 60 small bronzes, also some drawings. Through...
...cables. The pipe made a number of turns so that we could not be sure of our route, but it seemed that we passed under Elsie's and somewhere near the I.A.B. before turning east. Eventually, the pipe came to an abrupt end, and by climbing down a long metal ladder we entered the Tunnel at a point below Lowell House tower. Because it carries less steam, this pipe is much cooler than the main Tunnel; at Lowell House we got back into the 100-degree climate we had experienced earlier beneath the Yard...
...south toward Widener Library, Harry Schofield pointed out some of the Tunnel's sights. He first called out attention to the large expansion joints that occurred at regular intervals along the steam pipes. These, he explained, allow for horizontal expansion when steam is turned on; without them, the rigid metal pipes would buckle disastrously due to sudden increases in temperature. Because the joints are the most likely sites for leaks to develop, they must be inspected and maintained continuously, and are one of the main concerns of the Tunnel engineering force...
...whole service system of Harvard is predominantly underground," Harry told us. To support his statement he indicated the power conduit (a metal pipe of modest size) and the telephone lines (several thick black cables). It seemed to us that the whole service system of Harvard was also quite vulnerable to sabotage: an agent provocateur loose in the Tunnel could easily paralyze the University preparatory to leading a junta against it. We asked Harry whether unauthorized persons might wander in. "Rarely," he answered. "Occasionally, an outside contractor working in the Tunnel leaves a door open by mistake and a curious undergraduate...
...before sailing. Everyone stormed into town, heading for Suzanne's, the combination bar and whore-house en face de la gare. Down the block is its rival, the Algiers Bar, open to Algerians only. The French government rules all such places closed until five in the morning, but the metal slats were kept down, while 'unimaginable scenes of riot' took place. God, it was like the movies, with the whores pouring in from all over town, down the dark streets in tiny cars; I'Amerique was in. And men you knew and in some strange way liked, threw fifties...
