...previous years, the travails of Stephen Jay Gould and his quest to explain the history of the world--and his role in it--appear under the chapter heading Science B-16. Walter J. Kaiser '54 was supposed to resume his biennial journey through Elizabethan England yesterday accompanied by his ne'er-do-well sidekick Robert Watson, in an adventure entitled Literature and Arts A-40, "Shakespeare." Or so Courses of Instruction led the unwary reader to believe. But Watson was not granted tenure by the University and will henceforth be frolicking in another forest...

Less than two years ago, Santa Monica, Calif.-based Wickes Cos., a home- improvement and consumer-products firm, emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and launched a series of takeover bids. Last week Chairman Sanford Sigoloff announced Wickes' latest coup: a $30 million profit on the sale of stock and options it accumulated in a $2.2 billion takeover try for Toledo- based Owens-Corning Fiberglas...

Chicago-based United had conditioned the Frontier purchase in part on reaching an agreement with its 6,435-member chapter of the Air Line Pilots Association. Unless those pilots consented to let their Frontier counterparts join the United fleet at substantially lower wage levels, at least for a time, the People Express deal would be off. Despite much negotiation, the United pilots, who made substantial wage concessions only last year, continued...
