...late 1950s and the 1960s, the new economists are now professors in their own right at universities around the country. Among them: Martin Feldstein, 39, of Harvard, who is the leading thinker in the group; Robert Lucas, 41, of the University of Chicago; Michael Boskin, 33, of Stanford; Rudiger Dornbusch, 37, and Stanley Fischer, 35, both of M.I.T.; as well as many, many others...
...RUDIGER DORNBUSCH, 37. While the Keynesians can flaunt the master's classic, General Theory, and the monetarists can flourish Milton Friedman's A Monetary History of the United States, the closest that the new economists have to such a tome is a 651-page text, Macroeconomics, by Dornbusch and Stanley Fischer, 35, both professors at M.I.T. Published in 1977, it has become the largest selling advanced economics text. The authors' central thesis reflects the new economists' nagging uncertainty about the omnipotence of their own profession. They contend that the complex computer models used to predict...
...search of the woman worthy of his heroic self-sacrifice, Tarnopol throws aside such winners, such female Tarnopols, as Dina Dornbusch (Sarah Lawrence, "rich, pretty, smart, sexy, adoring") on the way to his perfect losing cause. Maureen Johnson is a twice-divorced ex-barmaid out of Elmira, N.Y., afflicted by artiness, more than a touch of paranoia and a very odd walk. Roth often seems as baffled as the reader as to why Tarnopol should marry this "cornball Clytemnestra" for whom he feels no affection or even lust. Does Maureen represent the muse of disorder, the Dionysian element every artist...
...faculty with a small cadre of ambitious professors who spread the gospel of Bay area living all over the East and Midwest. Instead of high pay, Stanford offered such lures as 100% loans for building handsome ranch houses on university land. To snag former Harvard Sociologist Sanford M. Dornbusch, Stanford doubled its sociology department with men of his choice. In similar deals Stanford captured American Historian David Potter after 19 years at Yale, German Historian Gordon Craig after 20 years at Princeton, Novelist-Critic Albert J. Guerard after 23 years at Harvard. When the faculty got so good that...
More pressing to President Sterling, who stays close to the 9,827 students despite endless road trips for money, is the inadequacy of physical facilities. The library, says Dornbusch, "is the worst I have ever seen in a major university." Such needs are the point of PACE, and Sterling will not rest until they are met. Even in public-educating California, he tells PACE dinners across the country, "There is still room for a demonstration of what can be done by private aspiration, initiative and enterprise...
