Hoping to avoid the poster and graffiti pollution that plagued neighboring Portugal after the 1974 revolution, government officials erected more than 900 billboards throughout the capital with such mottos as "Play clean, don't paint the city." The government itself put up thousands of posters exhorting voters to "Think, analyze and choose" and "Democracy is among other things the acceptance of political pluralism...

...work on the center. There was Keith darting from Hammond organ to Moog synthesizer, and Greg picking away at his bass-guitar. Between them sat Carl, confined along with his drums, snares, gongs and tubular bells in a percussion cockpit that resembled nothing so much as a mod four-poster converted into a padded cell for the phantom of the opera. The music built relentlessly, awesomely powered by 72,000 watts worth of amplification -enough to start a medium-sized radio station. The volume never reached the threshold of pain (130 decibels), but it was, in Salmon's words...

At Oak Creek, a 16-ft. cultivator depicted on the John and Arthur Mahr barn stands amid a luminous crazy quilt of rolling hillsides. Past poster-bright stands of timber and grazing deer, a lumber train with trim red wheels chugs across the Lewis Furchtenicht barn in Spooner.

...original exposes (the poster's word, not ours) what really happened in the Garden of Eden. According to Cornelia Ravenal's '79 new musical, the first play by a Radcliffe undergraduate ever to be produced at the Loeb, the big dating service in the sky made a mistake with Adam and Eve. While Eve thinks she was sent to earth to meet her mate. Adam thinks he was promised a maid. With such a beginning, an irresistibly slimy serpent, and a chorus of nine animals misnamed by Adam, complications of course, develop. Set to Ravenal's jazz-rock music...

...WHAT SELLARS LACKS in cynical common-sense about the hard necessities of direction, he more than makes up in style. He has given the whole play a facade of try-anything spontaneity, and daredevil and slightly mad improvisation. Sellars' poster for the play is an unpretentious and quite ineffective quick Flair pen sketch. The program is a jumble of mad typing the night before the opening. All the orchestra seats in the Loeb have been moved backstage so that half of the audience sits at the bottom of the breath-taking canyon-like flyspace of the theater, and they...
