In Metamorphoses, one neighbor has suffered a magical transformation into Actaeon, torn...

Channel 6 provides 24-hour Big Sisterly surveillance of the lobby which allows a tenant to inspect her own callers before admitting them or to eavesdrop on a neighbor's callers. Switching to Channel 5, a mother can check on the kids in the swimming pool. A fourth camera continuously displays cards printed with news items, classified ads and unclassified gossip...
