摘要：

The (lower derivative) action, which describes the actual degrees of freedom of a (higher derivative) theory of gravity quadratic in the scalar and Ricci curvatures, is found. Key steps are a Legendre transform and a suitable diagonalization procedure. Some consequences of this insight are outlined.
