...week at a retrospective exhibition at the Whitney Museum in Manhattan viewers could see how magic Greene's ambiguity has been. His unearthly colors intrigue-not so much as color, but as shifting shadings of darkness and light. His forms seem to float by like changing clouds of steam, twisting into shapes that are now recognizable, now wholly abstract...
...clients put fantastic emphasis on their bathrooms," he says. "They know it's the most expensive room in the house, and they want to show their friends where their money went." For Cinemactor Charlton (BenHur) Heston, Beckett designed a bathroom with a huge sunken Roman tub, dressing rooms, steam room, and a small outdoor gymnasium.

When Cayley wrote those prophetic words, the only "first movers" available were monstrously heavy steam engines.

First attracted to IBM by a newspaper report that Tom Watson Sr. was one of the nation...
...Brooklyn, Frey staged six crashes (by sending one wreck at the end of a tow rope hurtling into another), but the calculated carnage was a minor incident in his tireless pursuit of sound. Audio Fidelity's Frey, 40, has already trapped a hurricane (Donna), recommissioned an obsolete steam engine, provoked a Great Dane to vicious complaint, wooed mewing seagulls with a boxful of chicken guts, eavesdropped at a bullfight. His long-suffering friends are even accustomed to having him turn up with his equipment to record their squalling, hiccuping children. Wild animals have been Prey's most difficult...
