Emacs has several built-in word wrapping mechanisms.  See
   Options → Line Wrapping in this buffer 
for an overview.  My preferred method is Word Wrap.  Whether this can
   easily be utilized by calfw I don't know.

It works okay.  The problem is not so much the line breaking as the lack
of appropriately segregating entries.  

The following view is decent, and word wrap certainly improves
the ease of obtaining information:

On the other hand information is not easily obtained from a week with
lots of scheduled class from a single file:

 - An easy solution might be do add a `\n' but this might not always be
   desirable.
 - Events could also be separated by lines.
 - Different shades might also be a possibility. Here is a screenshot of
   my Gnus group buffer which is striped.
