...biblical myth of creation with the world of cliches that has since accumulated around the lives of men and women. The primeval couple of this musical are jaded about the facts of life before they've even had any practice with them.

In Los Angeles, the flat megalopolis that was supposed to spread ever outward, new towers sprout like asparagus. Windswept Oklahoma City, a dramatic vertical statement in the horizontal world of the Western plains, strikes the eye like a mini-Manhattan. Denver's Skyline project, one of the best urban renewal efforts in America, is alive and well named: since 1970, six new towers have poked high...
