The Boston Globe’s funniest and best-read (well, in Geezer’s house, anyway) columnist Alex Beam reports that squash is the new racquetball, which had been the new squash for a couple of unfortunate decades. Beam notes that the sport so exclusive to the Ivy League and so exhausting that it was

squash-playing Khans, boasting that he single-handedly won the war against racquetball.
”I would bet the racquetball players that if I beat them they would
