Elizabeth Evans, a four-year Crimson standout and Harvard's number one player this year, did not make the trip, due to an overload of work. As a result, everyone else in the lineup moved up a notch for the NCAAs...
...Computers have a way of making simple research tasks more difficult--for example, when a casual user needs computer instruction just to find a book.

He is cynical, sarcastic and almost painfully snide. As a whole, Traveller Without Luggage moves smoothly from scene to scene, escaping the tiresome emotional overload which seems inherent to the story-line of the play itself...
