...wire-reinforced panels apparently broke when they were hit by chunks of ice falling from the Science Center's main roof...
...then that of these recordings only the Schubert has ever been released before? Originally the entire project was considered a total loss. According to Producer John Pfeiffer, the masters were damaged because some zealot scrubbed the original metal molds with a wire brush. His apparent purpose was to eliminate discoloration in the metal. What he accomplished was the scarring of the record grooves. For this release, the original recordings were converted to tape, then edited (snipping out offensive clicks and pops took hundreds of hours). Though some of the old surface noise is still to be heard, it is tolerable...
...Ford Model A was a tremendous hit-a $500 automobile with a dependable four-cylinder engine and what then seemed low-slung, sleek lines. Cars have changed more than a little in the succeeding half-century, but that has only enhanced the Model A's nostalgic allure; its wire wheels, arching mudguards and stubby body give it the jaunty appeal of an old boulevardier. In fact, a restored Model A today sells for as much...
...second, equally important, was the idea that a painting's surface was an impartial collector of images. Anything could be dropped on the blueprints and leave its mark. Soon afterward, Rauschenberg made grass paintings?bundles of soil and plant matter held together with chicken wire, from which seedlings sprouted.

His Roxbury studio resembled a tinker's shop more than some rive gauche atelier; wire and pliers and corrugated cartons filled with the flotsam of a lifetime lay about in splendid I-know-just-where-it-is disarray. There, and in the house near Tours, France, that he acquired in 1953, the sculptor would lumber about, creating a stage set for Martha Graham, fashioning coffee cups...
