"Harvard University's Smith Campus Center (formerly Holyoke Center) is a Brutalist administrative and service building occupying the block bounded by Massachusetts Avenue, Dunster Street, Holyoke Street, and Mount Auburn Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, directly opposite the Wadsworth Gate to Harvard Yard. It houses administrative offices, an infirmary of the University Health Services, and a retail/restaurant arcade. Design Primarily designed by José Luis Sert (then dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Design) and completed in 1966, the Smith Campus Center is an H-shaped ten-story reinforced concrete building. Low-rise portions, including an underground parking garage, have a larger footprint of . The building was constructed in two phases over a six-year period between 1960 and 1966. The first phase—the southern half of the building facing Mount Auburn Street-began in 1960 and was occupied in 1962. Construction of the second phase began in 1964 and was completed in 1966. The landscaped area at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Dunster Street—known as Forbes Plaza—was completed the following year in 1967.https://www.cambridgema.gov/~/media/Files/CDD/ZoningDevel/HarvardAdvComm/hsac_20150610_1350massave_pt9.pdf?la=en. As a permanent tribute, the plaza and arcade inside the Holyoke Center were named in honor of Edward W. Forbes. The occasion was marked by a ceremony on 17 October, 1966 Beth Andrea Madelbaum and Marjorie Kitchen FitzSimmons, "Edward Waldo Forbes: City Planner" in Edward Waldo Forbes: Yankee Visionary, Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, MA 1971, pp88 After the first phase of construction in 1963, the Harvard Crimson cited a local joke: "The one nice feature about Holyoke Center is that it's the one place in Cambridge from which you can't see Holyoke Center". Within a few years the building's novel design and technical features began to present numerous difficulties, which a Harvard official likened to "a five-car accident at an intersection. You just can't tell what caused it." These included crumbling of exterior structural concrete and an inefficient three-pipe heating and cooling system. It was Harvard's first highrise building, and has been called a "gray elephant" for the color of its concrete facades. Artworks From 1964 to 1979, the penthouse dining room was decorated with five large paintings installed by Mark Rothko, an Abstract Expressionist artist. Due to high levels of direct sunlight onto the paintings and the presence of lithol red's calcium salt, the paintings faded severely and were moved to protective storage in 1979. Since their removal, the artworks have been publicly displayed only five times, most recently from November 2014 to July 2015, at the newly renovated Harvard Art Museums.Stenger, J., Khandekar, N., Raskar, R., Cuellar, S., Mohan, A. and Gschwind, R., ‘Conservation of a room: a treatment proposal for Mark Rothko’s Harvard Murals,’ Studies in Conservation, 61(6), 2016, 348-361Stenger, J., Khandekar, N., Wilker, A., Kallsen, K., Kirby, D.P. and Eremin, K., ‘The making of Mark Rothko’s Harvard Murals,’ Studies in Conservation, 61(6), 2016, 331-347.

"XEN-AM (branded as Radio Centro/El Fonógrafo) is a commercial radio station in Mexico City. It airs a talk radio and Spanish oldies radio format on 690 kHz. The station is owned by Grupo Radio Centro. XEN broadcasts with 100,000 watts by day. But to avoid interfering with other stations on AM 690, it reduces power at night to 5,000 watts. The transmitter is in the San Miguel Teotongo neighborhood in Mexico City.FCCdata.org/XEN-AM XEN-AM can be heard in HD on XHFAJ-FM HD2.http://hdradio.com/mexico/estaciones HD Radio Guide for Mexico 690 AM is a Mexican and Canadian clear-channel frequency; CKGM and XEWW share Class A status of this frequency. History Logo as La 69, used from 2001 to 2017 Early Years XEN-AM started as CYS, on 710 kHz. The station was owned by General Electric Mexico from 1925 to 1930. For most of 1930, from February 5 to the end of the year, the station, by then known as "Radio Mundial XEN" and bearing its current call sign, offered something never before provided on radio: a constant all news radio service. Radio Noticias was owned by Félix F. Palavicini, a journalist who acquired the station at the start of the year. The earliest concession for XEN-AM was awarded to Cervecería Modelo, S.A., in 1934. At that time the station still broadcast on 710 kHz. The next year, the station was transferred to Guillermina Pontones de del Conde, and later it moved to its current dial position on 690 kHz. World Music, Sports and Lounge Music Beginning in the 1950s and until the early 1990s, it carried a world music format as Radio Mundo. In 1993, the station switched to a sports radio format as Radio Sportiva. By the late 1990s it offered lounge music and newscasts under the name Ondas del Lago.Aparece el primer boletín del año de creadores de la radio, La Jornada 6 February 2001 La 69 In 2001, Grupo Radio Centro bought the indebted station, disaffiliated it from the Cadena RASA system and converted it to a news format, known as La 69 - Es Noticia. The purchase was made possible because the previous year Radio Centro had sold 1320 AM and 1560 AM to Infored.Radio Centro Form 20-F filed in the United States, 2009 However, the station generally lacked unique programming. It mainly aired a simulcast of the two-hour midday newscast of Radio Red, which was hosted by Jacobo Zabludovsky until his death on July 2, 2015, being substituted by Juan Francisco Castañeda. The newscast originated on XEN, before moving to Radio Red in 2004. The newscast was recorded and repeated throughout the day and on weekends. A program with José Alberto Barranco Chavarría called "Entrelíneas" that beginning July 4, 2016, was also simulcast on Radio Red. Another program, a seven-hour morning talk show, "¿Y usted, qué opina?" hosted by Nino Canún, was cancelled in August 2014. The station's only original programming after 2016 were cultural capsules aired during commercial breaks, having no advertisers outside of government and electoral spots. Radio Centro and El Fonógrafo In 2017, citing "changes in AM transmission infrastructure," Grupo Radio Centro reorganized all of its AM radio stations. It shut down several stations and consolidating their programs. La 69 was replaced by content from the former XEQR-AM 1030, talk- formatted Radio Centro, and XEJP-AM 1150, El Fonógrafo. Radio Centro's sole program to transition to XEN, "Buenos Días con Héctor Martínez Serrano" airs from 5:30 to 10:00am on weekdays and 5:30 to 11:00am on weekends, with El Fonógrafo oldies music filling in the rest of the air time (except for Sundays at noon, when Catholic mass airs). Since July 2019, the station is also used to broadcast soccer matches from Liga MX on Friday nights, as well as UEFA Champions League matches on some weekdays. Besides airing on XEN, El Fonógrafo also maintains a separate stream solely dedicated to music without announcers or commercial interruptions, which can also be heard on the HD2 subchannel of XEJP-FM. Martínez Serrano died on May 9, 2020, with his collaborators taking over the hosting of "Buenos Días". Beginning on May 18, 2020, XEN began to be simulcasted on XEQR-AM.
