...contrast, Joseph Bernstein and David Kazhdan, two Jewish Soviet mathematicians now tenured here, were invited and heavily recruited. The department recruited both professors "because they were the best people around," Mathematics Department Chairman David Mumford says. Bernstein, who was sought by several other universities, chose Harvard this spring because of his friendship with Kazhdan, who had come to the University...
...million refugees from electronic gunk. The size of this audience would not have impressed Fred Silverman, but enough people tuned in for their weekly fix of what Paul Claudel called "l' allure du vrai gentleman Anglais" to make a star of Clark.
