...announcement comes exactly one year after the Crimson revealed that the lot--13,000 sq. ft. of choice Cambridge property known to students as the "garden" of the exclusive Fly Club--is actually owned by Harvard, which has paid over $50,000 in taxes on the property since buying it from the Fly in December...

In 1969 he went to Australia and used 1 million sq. ft. of synthetic cloth to wrap a mile of rocky coastline.

"If I can develop and produce it for what I say I can," says Moss, "we are talking about hundreds of thousands of these structures." But Moss the tentmaker will not be fully satisfied until someone buys his favorite idea, an already tested shelter that can be rushed to earthquake-or other disaster-stricken areas. Carried over the site by a helicopter and released in midair, it opens like a parachute and drops...
