...FIRST CAR" took Potts almost six years to complete and was constructed in large part with tools he made especially for building the units. "The Master Chassis" is the only part of the sculpture with a motor. It is powered by a small, four cylinder engine that is radio controlled. The frame and motor weigh only 460 pounds, and the entire structure is 141 inches long but only 27.5 inches high...
...minimum and tax benefits at a maximum. Since a park contains few permanent structures, Carlsberg pays lower property taxes than he would on a shopping center or an office building. Tax benefits accrue to his tenants as well. Owners of mobile homes, which are regulated by state motor-vehicle bureaus instead of by local assessors, frequently pay lower taxes than they would on conventional homes-a system that many mayors consider unfair.

Pierre Cordier (whose work was featured in a show at the Fogg in 1971) allows chemicals to form patterns directly on unexposed film, and calls the series of abstract images that result "chimigrammes...
...morning of the shootout, a white grocer in New Orleans' black Broadmoor section was also shot and wounded by a .44 magnum slug. The attacker fled on foot, and shortly thereafter a car was stolen five blocks from the grocery store, only to turn up in the motor lodge's garage. Whoever else had been involved with Essex-one cop insisted that he saw a black woman sniper-race clearly played a large role in the killings. At about the same time Bemish was shot, a black chambermaid almost bumped into the sniper on the pool deck...
