...Stanford's plan is the cellulose in wastepaper and grass clippings. Although cellulose is indigestible for man, it is the basic diet of microorganisms that can trigger a natural sequence of soil enrichment. Stanford proposes to plow cellulose-containing material in garbage into the desert soil. Next, he would fertilize it with "sludge," a purified end product of sewage treatment that looks like gruel, smells like tar and is loaded with nutrients. Using a little sewage water for irrigation, Stanford says, will then turn the desert into a vast garden. His theory makes eminent sense to scientists...
This summer, as in summers before, large numbers of Summer School students will reside in the Yard. But this summer, Yard residents will delight to the thunder of wrecking expeditions, and the Yard that bore grass for Commencement--one of the only such green spots on the Harvard campus--will transform itself into a less pleasing mud and dust landscape...

The Pusey Library will have three levels but will rise only nine feet above ground level. The library's roof will be covered with grass, shrubs and a walkway, and a grassy surrounding mound will shield it from view, so that it will look more foliated than the dusty open space between Houghton and Lamont that it will replace...
...really needed it, but I've never seen it. (Four years ago a group of Radcliffe women were arrested running around without any clothes on in front of a camera crew on the highway because the spectacle had created a traffic jam.) The Commons has yet to grow grass enough to protect you from the dirt beneath, and serious sunbathing in the Yard is practically like passing out a publicity still...
...Kansas boyhood for "some very sustaining memories of people in their sad, funny, futile, courageous and frightened ways of meeting life and trying to cope with it." When his engaging but minor talent began to fail, he turned to Hollywood, where his screenplay for Splendor in the Grass (1961) won an Oscar. Good Luck, Miss Wyckoff (1970), a novel about a woman brutally isolated from society, met with modest success. The manuscript of an other Inge novel, The Boy From the Circus, was found in his living room on the day of his death - rejected by a New York publisher...
