...party, smack in the middle of a communist state. Once a resting place for opium-addled sojourners on sweet, slow tours of the East, Vang Vieng is now a haven of a different sort.

The Yard is undergoing a comprehensive soil restoration project that will revitalize its heavily-trodden grass and, within the next year, eliminate the use of herbicides, pesticides, and synthetic fertilizers. Three organic test plots were implemented in Harvard Yard in March 2008. The plots were fed compost in lieu of conventional chemicals, and have been monitored biweekly for soil health and texture for the past six months. The ongoing results of the plots “exceeded expectations?...
