Almost There
   By Alan Rich

   This time, they let us in the front door. The escalators aren't
   yet working, nor the public johns; the tour guides still insist
   on hard hats and goggles as the apparel of choice.  The chaos,
   however, has measurably receded. Outside, on the corner of
   First and Grand back on May 14, some kind of roadway biz is
   under way and the landscape is all mud and rocks.  Inside,
   however, the Walt Disney Concert Hall has achieved a discernible
   shape. As the ads have said, "you could almost hear it." =>
