Ortho (‘The Darkness’) Stice, E.T.A.’s 16’s A-1, has just this P.M. gone three sets with Hal Incandenza, seventeen, E.T.A.’s second-best overall boy, taking Hal all the way to 7–5 in the third in an off-record nonchallenge exhibitionish engagement
Much has been speculated upon with this Hal/Stice "rivalry" compared to Hamlet/Laertes, but I've never found the two to directly line up.
