...group's newly renovated offices on Arrow Street look like something out of Blow Up. The main studio with its vaulted 20-foot ceiling is painted white. It is both cluttered and spacious, with cut-out magazine pictures, photographs of African natives, and brightly-colored design sketches all over the walls. Hanging above the doorway is a huge blueprint of the battleship U.S.S. Massachusetts, which Freeman and his comrades are turning into a World War II Memorial...
...first visit to Moscow, in August, Rademaekers was assigned by Intourist to a spacious room in the Rossia Hotel. The view included St. Basil's Cathedral and the famed chime bells of the Spasskaya clock tower in the Kremlin Wall.

Ringo, who never practices drums between Beatle performances, has made his place the group's unofficial clubhouse; on the spacious grounds are a treehouse and an old air-raid shelter, and indoors an elaborate bar named The Flying...
More Stately Mansions. Watching a Eugene O'Neill play fail is sometimes as awesome as seeing the Titanic sink. More Stately Mansions, however, is more like a becalmed Flying Dutchman on which trapped passengers spend three hours torturing one another and ranting about their fate. On the spacious stage of Los Angeles' elegant Ahmanson Theater, site of the play's U.S. premiere last week, Mansions stays within hailing distance of the playgoer's interest, but it never gets heartbeat close...
