...those years that Byrne appealed in her seemingly quixotic campaign run by her husband, a former newspaperman, and a Hyde Park liberal organizer named Don Rose, now considered a traitor by the all-but-dead lakefront independent movement.

Mags Harries' whimsical idea of using gloves--in piles, gripping rails, pushing imaginary buttons--as a constant image that the passenger follows from one point of the station to another is amusing, even if the philosophy behind is somewhat extravagant. The gloves, she writes in an explanation of her works, "are anthropomorphic objects with many character possibilities and by their multiplication, take on a life form that might be analgous to the people movement...
