Great Britain's Prince Charles has received his first command. Now 27, he will take the helm of H.M.S. Bronington, a sturdy 360-ton minehunter that spends most of its time plowing the North Sea in search of World War II mines. Though the appointment is considered a bleak and boring one among old salts, England's future King is known to welcome any sea duty as a way to escape from royal protocol. On the Bronington, however, Charles may long to be a landlubber again. Explains Kelly Green, 23, a cook on the ship...

...more concerned about the situation than Peter S. McKinney, administrative dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, althought he insists that the outlook isn't quite as bleak as some (unemployed) students may think. "Some people will argue," he says, "that there's always a job for a Harvard Ph.D. There's some truth to the fact that in the national competition in most fields, Harvard ranks very high, but it's unrealistic if we think we're going to be able to place all our students in the kind of jobs we thought in the past were...
