...scratch Harvard's skeptical, scholarly exterior and things start to look a little more interesting. Rumors circulate: one account explains that early one morning, forty years ago, a cleaning lady vacuuming alone in Wadsworth House saw a grim character in a Tricorn hat and cloak silently come down the stairs and go out the door; another report describes the sounds of a phantom dinner party that filled the corridor by the southwest corner of University Hall, a displaced echo of the dining hall that occupied the building in the 19th century; and some remember hearing Bill Gannon, former sexton...

Jobs has plans for a new studio, to sprawl on 16 acres in industrial Emeryville, near Berkeley. Interior plans have been carefully drawn--before the exterior--to ensure a cross-pollination of ideas. And of course, he says, all the offices will be the same size...
