...certainly, through Allston, Harvard can only get better. The currently fragmented University body—with its various protuberances stretching in all directions, nonlinear and hiccoughing in fragments across the Cantabridgian landscape—will finally have the opportunity to centralize, or at least become contiguous. Gone will be the days, one can write hopefully, of the Garden Street style Sporades of Harvard undergraduate buildings, the reality of the city intermittently interrupting the University’s plans for expansion and design. University President Lawrence H. Summers’ emphasis on centralization of the sprawling University and on facilitating interdisciplinary...

Thereafter, he says, the interplay of spaces involved attempting to "connect the two cores"?the sculpture garden and the atrium?via a series of bridges, balconies, stairs and passageways, which link the various galleries in a splendidly (and newly) nonlinear and open floor plan...

...hard to write when you're down in the dumps. Just ask Charlie Kaufman. Having written the deliriously original Being John Malkovich, he's hired to adapt Susan Orlean's nonfiction best seller The Orchid Thief. It's a meditative, philosophical, nonlinear narrative, totally resistant to conventional screenwriting technique. Charlie, played with morose and hilarious authority by Nicolas Cage, immediately develops an XXL-size writer's block...
