That announcement should put an end to the department's three-ring circus, at least for now. It will certainly calm the alumni; after last spring's debacle, Bok is hardly likely to appoint anyone as unsettling to the old-timers as Peck.

...fielded about 30 questions from a live studio audience of 200 and, via five TV cameras, from passers-by at suburban shopping centers, sidewalks and the U.C.L.A. campus. The toughest challenge came from Birdell Moore, a director of the Watts Health Foundation, who sought assurances that the Administration would appoint more blacks to top Government jobs.
