HEADLINE: It's easier being green, Danner says
BODY:
It has become much easier in recent years to be conscientious about recycling. Just ask Blythe Danner, the actress who is starring in the Manhattan Theater Club production of "Sylvia."
Wednesday night, she told guests at the Environmental Action Coalition's awards dinner in Manhattan what it had been like to recycle 25 years ago. "I used to get on a bus when I was doing 'Butterflies Are Free' and take the garbage downtown to a recycling center," she said.
She recalled that she had involved her children Gwyneth Paltrow, the actress, and Jake Paltrow at a young age. "In Los Angeles, Gwyneth used to hold up a sign at passing trucks from our car saying, 'You're polluting,' " she said. Melville, Hawthorne and the Unabomber
Crime writer Robert Graysmith, whose books include "Zodiac" and "The Sleeping Lady," has been working on a book about the Unabomber for the past two years. "I'm always fascinated with manhunts," said the author, who used to be an editorial cartoonist.
Meanwhile, crime isn't Mr. Graysmith's only interest. He's just completed the manuscript of "Melville's Romance," which he says describes Herman Melville's great passion for Nathaniel Hawthorne.
