...play, as you might expect, is in every way archtypically "absurd." Four characters with the unlikely names of Hamm, Clov, Nagg, and Nell (the last two spend the entire evening in barrels) perform against a backdrop of webbed string, barrels, one chair and a ladder. The play itself describes the collapse of blind Hamm's strange world. The cause of the disaster, we gradually understand, is Hamm's conceit. He is, as his name suggests, the abstraction of Actor whose solipsism has reduced his world to a shelter-like setting of old age (his barreled parents, Nagg and Nell...
...C.D.U. redoubled their efforts and their contributions. But Brandt was hitting the hustings hard; he had covered 13,000 miles, made 503 speeches in whistle-stop tours through West Germany.

Helping them out is last year's freshman star, Romer Holleran, who ranked among the top half-dozen school-age squash players in the country when he played for Exeter...
...nine-man team level, despite the loss of captain Charlie Hamm, Pete Lund, Davis, and Wally Stimpson, the Crimson will probably retain its mastery. In brief, things should be back fairly close to normal next year at Hemenway Gymnasium, with only an individual champion lacking to make Harvard domination complete; this past season may have been the closest thing to a balance of power that Intercollegiate squash will see for quite some time...
