Harvard's most potent weapon against the competent Tufts squad took the form of sharp, angular spikes, mainstays of the Crimson attack all year. Strong hitting junior Ellen Schreiber, sophomore Nina Henderson and freshman Linda Lock hart--who has recently been brought up from the J. V. team--only hit the ball out of bounds four times in the four contests. Lock hart measures only 5 ft., 3 in., but she possesses fantastic jumping ability and has little trouble getting over...
Soyer's most successful pictures are his portraits and figure studies. Among the most impressive paintings at the Hirshhorn is his 1980 Paula Hondius, a portrait of old age.

...play, however, is effectively set on an angular multi-level stage containing a richly furnished chamber, a railing, a podium, and stairs leading to different levels. The various levels constructed on the stage interestingly reflect the various levels of action in the plot. After a march for civil rights, the three Irishmen seek shelter from tear gas in the chambers of a high religious person. The conversation and action during their afternoon together is also pieced through the drama. The scenes show their innocence. They come across not as revolutionaries, but as simple people with simple needs...
