...sort of an industrial 'Dear Abby,' " he says. "They come to me only when there's a mess." One such distress call came from Western Electric in Kansas City, which was having trouble with a certain production line. Working with the staff engineers, Tichauer evolved a pair of pliers with a 30° bend in the handle. As a result of this consideration for the human wrist, which tires quickly when awkwardly contorted, efficiency took an immediate and gratifying climb...
During the past year, another one of the minischools that De Maria helped to establish underground has emerged in the public eye: earthworks. In the winter of 1961-62, De Maria sketched plans for a pair of mile-long walls, 12 ft. high and 12 ft. apart, to be built "somewhere in the Western United States." Though no collector could afford the $500,000 needed to build it, De Maria and a fellow worker flew out to the Mojave Desert and chalked two half -mile-long lines on its surface.

No more fidgeting about in the theater, making sure the oldfashioned, inside-the-coat, Norman Norell label is draped visibly over the seat; no more calculated dropping of the $190 handbag, the better to reveal the Hermes plaque buried within. No longer the need to base chic upon a series of subtle clues-the interlocking bridle bit that makes the shoe...
