...Hustle or the Muscle? Ol' Deejay had a ditty for every kitty and her boogying big daddy as well. One reason for the rise of the deejay was that he came much cheaper than the rock and rhythm-and-blues bands. Today there are so many deejays spinning vinyl that discotheque owners, to attract audiences, are starting to turn to the novelty of live groups. Says John Sassak, manager of the Poison Apple outside Detroit: "The attraction of discos now has to go beyond just music because every other guy has the same records...
...citations involved nonserious cases and fines averaging a mere $19. Meanwhile, after five years, OSHA has produced a grand total of three comprehensive health standards for industry: one governing the amount of asbestos that can be present in factory environments, another for carcinogens, a third for vinyl chloride.

The MIT part of the exhibit should be seen after the ICA portion, since the large sculptures are logical...
...Manhattan. The space for it was procured by a nonprofit organization, Creative Time Inc., which coordinated the six-month creation, and was donated by the Orient Overseas Association, a shipping company. The buildings, cars, trains, boats and people-from life-size effigies to tiny, comic-strip figures painted on vinyl -were made by the Ruckus Works, a team of 20 painters, carpenters, sewers and stuffers, electricians, engineers and gadgeteers, brought together and working under the amiable direction of two artists, Red Grooms and his wife Mimi Gross...
