For a mere several million (or so my cousin Willy the real estate man assures me) Harvard can purchase some of the choicest acreage available in North Dakota. The plan, as we conceive it, is to construct a new community closely modelled on Cambridge--to be called "Pusey Bluffs." The residents in question will be flown all-expenses-paid, non-stop-direct to Bismarck, with fortnightly bus connections to Yellowstocking, and bimonthly sand-buggy service to Pusey Bluffs...
