ON THE COVER: THE OLYMPIC SCULPTURE PARK still isn't officially finished yet; but the Claes Oldenburg/Coosje van Bruggen sculpture Typewriter Eraser, Scale X is now up. Oldenburg's been making what he calls "colossal monuments" of everyday objects since the 1960s, and has worked with his wife van Bruggen since 1977. The piece, one of three Typewriter Eraser copies in existence, might be interpreted as a northern bookend to downtown Seattle, since south downtown's Smith Tower was commissioned by the Smith-Corona typewriter mogul.

AS AUTUMN FULLY sets in, a homeless pair hunkers down in a self-made box shelter.
