Schwarzenegger had arrived the day before from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where he had been shooting his latest film...
...patient, low-key man, Frankel (whose relations with Rosenthal are said to be cool) is expected to calm the newsroom waters. "Consensus is his middle name," says a colleague. His selection, Times watchers say, was a politic one for Publisher Sulzberger. "I think it turned on whom Punch knew best," says one Times executive, "and who would go down well with the rest of the stockholders in the family...
