...place of the empty slogans and insincere legends that used to clutter the clubhouse walls, a small portrait of the Super Bowl trophy was mounted this year in the entranceway. Two weeks ago, after they defeated the Bengals in Cincinnati, 34-3, the Browns players came into work and stopped. It was the same picture, except for one thing. It had grown to the size of a billboard...
...week progressed, J.J. continued to perform spectacularly. It followed the mast up to the crow's nest and found an undamaged brass mast light. The robot looked into the windows of the officers' quarters and propelled itself through the first-class entranceway to glimpse the ship's gymnasium. It went over the side and made an unsuccessful attempt to squeeze through portholes on the promenade deck. Said Ballard: "He has to go on a diet." There was an anxious moment as J.J.'s tether caught on a jagged piece of metal, but Bowen maneuvered the robot back and forth until...

And what happens to all of them when Anna innocently plugs a kitchen appliance into the workers' heavy- equipment circuit one sunny morning both defies description...

Yet Miss prohibits this fusion of art and environment. The piece is asymmetrical; its axis runs perpendicular to the entranceway of the museum, and the horizontal elements are not aligned with those of the building. The sculpture strains toward an awkward autonology further accentuated by the contrast between its stick like construction and the stone interior of the courtyard...
