[MassHistPres] a sprightly ghost

[Dennis De Witt]

For anyone who may have missed the story in the Boston Globe or NYT,   
Ben Thompson's masterpiece vitrine Design Research store in Harvard  
Sq. (almost old enough for the NR, and empty since being vacated by  
Crate & Barrel), has burst forth as an ephemeral reenactment of its  
original self (viewable from the street only) — recreated by Jane  
Thompson in all its revolutionary original Marimekko forms and  
colors.  Make the pilgrimage to when modern was more radical than it  
is now.  After christmas D|R will just be a distant memory again.
