...from Seattle, the Cavalier plows north through the stomach-turning swells of the Gulf of Alaska and the whipping gales of Bristol Bay. It squirts through the Bering Strait and after two weeks reaches the most perilous leg of the 3,200-mile journey: the 270-mile trip from Wainwright on the western flanks of northern Alaska to Prudhoe Bay. Here the tugs putter along at four to five knots, creeping above shoals that, in places, lie only 5 ft. beneath hulls still weighted down with 100,000 gal. of diesel fuel. Kardonsky, 56, looks up from his charts with...

Amazingly, Richie Flynn comes out a little wealthier and healthier, though back to selling booze...

...architects' models for the station, perhaps the best parts of the exhibit, illustrate the difficulties of creating a spacious feeling in facilities which are usually claustrophobic. Greenhouse structures with glass panels open the entrances to natural light. Unfortunately, the artists seem to have conspired to ruin this effect. William Wainwright's plans to build a series of giant mobiles to hang from the glass roof seem misdirected. Although Wainwright's compositions of oblong chrome and reflecting prisms would be great in Boston-Boston, one wonders what they'll add to the station. Carolos Dorrien's granite wall piece stands nearby...
