...York and "suddenly it seemed as if the city had gotten smaller or I had gotten bigger." The whole idea of scale started him thinking about monuments, and so he drew them. Not monuments in the usual sense of statues or obelisks, they were things that attain monumentality through constant use: a toilet float that rises and falls with the tide on the Thames River in London, a gigantic pair of scissors to replace the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., a huge windshield wiper for Grant Park in Chicago, a melting Good Humor bar to replace the Pan Am Building...
Most important, the New College is an innovative enterprise. We need constant and critical examination of our work. For this purpose, we will hold weekly meetings open to anyone concerned. We hope, in addition, that our group leaders and some participants will write detailed evaluations of their group's work...

Just as Walter and Victor were not sure of the value of all of their experiences, no one is sure at first sight of the value of this mixture of elegant and tawdry furniture.

Since the patches have survived on the lunar surface despite the moon's constant bombardment by micrometeorites and solar particles, Gold calculates that the event was relatively recent-perhaps less than 30,000 years ago. It probably lasted only ten to 100 seconds. The small craters show the effect of the blast because they are natural heat traps. What was the origin of this fiery outburst, which Gold figures was 100 times more powerful than ordinary sunlight? Writing in the current issue of Science, Gold speculates that it came from the sun itself, possibly as the result...
