Laure Nishioka '93 says Jones' coaching techniques were effective if brisk, and adds that the week of training is key due to Harvard's inadequate polo facilities...
Until earlier this year, the U.S. seemed to be headed for a more normal rebound, thanks to the brisk tempo of export sales. But then the economy began to suffer from yet another new development: America's growing linkages to the global economy, which has gone into a slump.

His pieces begin as modern sophisticated comedies with the brisk banter of naturalism; then they spiral into tragedy and, finally, liberation from fears of madness, isolation, death.
