...extremely well-balanced club. Steve Cram, their 6-7 center, is averaging 23 points per game, and 6-2 guard Bob Deluca has an 18.8 average. But everyone else on the starting five in a solid ballplayer: 6-5 forward Gary Munson, 6-5 forward Bob McCready, and 6-2 guard Bob Borube...

...above-average student script, the kind of play there has never been a satisfactory way of presenting to the college. Single performances in the Experimental Theatre, usually by inexperienced casts, rarely do justice to original plays. If Harvard's dramatists have a collective fault, it is trying to cram too much intellectualizing into their scripts -- the dialogue washes over audiences, leaving them confused. If the Drama Review continues to print plays, it will offer Harvard's playwrights infinitely more convenient access to the very critical denizens of the theatre community...

Harman-Kardon added an AM-FM radio, managed to cram everything into one chassis to the tune of $399.

...they generated so much heat, and that speakers had to be behemoths to produce a faithful bass. Recent technological developments have changed all that. Good record changers have so many springs and shock absorbers that they are virtually unaffected by vibration. By using transistors instead of tubes, manufacturers can cram the same amount of equipment into half the space and eliminate the heat problem altogether.
