...KNOW HARVARD is big on tradition, and there is no more traditional time than Comencement. A nice, lush lawn for the robed seniors to trek across is probably as symbolically important as the butter pats on the Union ceiling. And anyway, the University would turn the grass iridescent yellow if it thought that would mean more alumni and parent donations...
Plans for a massive library beneath the lawn between 17 Quincy St. and Lamont library were in the news by the mid-1960s. Pusey library, which contains overflow books from Widener and the University archives and map collection, was completed in 1973. It is named in honor of the former president...
...TONY ENCLAVE OF MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J., reality is a $700,000 house perched on acres of shady lawn, and crime is a plot device in a P.D. James novel.

While the more distant and wealthier suburbs can still claim to be free of graffiti, gangs and drugs, urban squalor is spreading into the less fortunate towns. Wander for only a few minutes from the leafy avenues of Garden City, a New York City suburb, and you find yourself in the run-down, drug-infested apartment blocks of Hempstead. Reported robberies grew by 17% on Long Island last year. They fell by 1.6% in New York...
