...world's greater understatements, Bunting's architectural book notes that "the Science Center is not entirely satisfactory from a visual standpoint." Designed in 1970, the building was financed largely by Edwin Land of the Polaroid Corporation. Many a Harvard student have peered out a Canaday window, trying to locate the building's flash and shutter...
...Freeport, Maine, McDonald's designed a fast food restaurant that doesn't look like one. The chain could similarly be made to construct a restaurant sensitive to Harvard Square's architectural and visual traditions.

One, for $10,000, was for "Corporal Politics," a show proposed by the List Visual Arts Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, containing images of sexual organs. The cancellation, Radice claimed, was based solely on "artistic merit...
