...escape. White-mustachioed Old Fred climbs into the Yellow submarine (which is inexplicably parked on the summit of an Aztec pyramid) and takes off to bring somebody-anybody-to help. He ends up in Liverpool and finds the Beatles. After a voyage through some indeterminate fantasy land of Outer Space or Sea Bottom, inhabited by terrors, demons and malevolent monsters, they make it back to Pepperland and vanquish the Meanies with Beatlemusic and LOVE...
This Monday everyone involved at Paine Hall is at least a little scared. Some of the students are banding together in a bloc, trying to come up with a "a joint statement." They are huddling together defiantly against the outer dark. They are trying to devise a "strategy" to pit against the "strategy" the deans will use "to split them."

But Segal can never cast the whole figure in one piece-a complete cast would cut off the body's pores from the outer air and might prove as lethal to the model as gold paint was to the hapless girl in Goldfinger...
...forbidding. The new home of Houston's 21-year-old Alley Theater is a child's idea of a castle-a genuine playhouse. The sandblasted concrete with its nine turreted towers glows like imprisoned sunlight; glass has succumbed to stone. And behind the facade, inner grace balances outer strength. The stairways are cascades of red-orange carpeting; the low ceilings are dimpled with lights embedded in them like flat moons, and the throwaway nooks and crannies have no function except to delight...
