Squash Magazine: Squash Players Between the Covers

Arctic Dreams and Wall Street Risks Squash Players Between the Covers By James Zug

Ever in tune to things literary, Squash Magazine reviews four new books published this spring. They don't have much in common, except that all five squash-playing lead authors played at Ivy League colleges and were pretty good: we've got seven national titles here and back to back wins over Mark Talbott in the Boston Open. And these guys are no rail-and-boast heads, with four of the five claiming doctorates (the fifth survives with merely a law degree). So, in descending order of age of the authors, below is what you should be reading this summer. For complete reviews of the books, please see our June/July 2003 edition.
