...years Franconia drifted toward ruin under an interim president. Then the trustees hired Botstein, who was completing his Ph.D. in history at Harvard and working as a special assistant to the president of the New York City board of education. He had little administrative experience when he acquired the distinction of being perhaps the youngest president in American higher education, but improbably enough, he has turned out to be a smashing success. In less than three years he has improved conditions at the college to the point that it expects to receive full accreditation...
...cleansing exhausts. Automakers insist that the standards are still technically unfeasible. Last week Environmental Protection Administrator William D. Ruckelshaus, who must enforce the Clean Air Act, decreed a compromise. He gave the auto industry an extra year to meet the full, rigid requirements of the law, but set interim standards so tough that Detroit's reaction was immediate and angry anyway...

Smith resigned last January as director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA) after negotiating the first round of the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks. The result was a treaty sharply limiting defensive anti-ballistic missile sites and an interim agreement freezing offensive missiles at roughly current levels for the next five years. To take Smith's place, President Nixon last week named Fred C. Iklé (pronounced ee-CLAY), 48, the author of three books on nuclear strategy and for the past six years head of the Rand...
...example, when Professor Ford was appointed as interim Faculty Dean The Crimson stated rather smugly and quite viciously that the Graduate Student and Teaching Fellow Union as well as other groups would have a break this semester since Franklin Ford was not noted for his crisis handling abilities. After the GSTFU strike was called off a Crimson editorial appeared which took special pains to attempt to pillory Dean Ford for what was called his unnecessarily rigid position toward the Union and its demands, a position which the editorial offered even the big gun himself, John Dunlop, would not have held...
