Byrne, 39, a labor-law specialist and honors graduate of Harvard Law School, whose partnership in the respected Los Angeles law firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher made him seem a sensible choice to investigate the eight months of unrest at Cal. But when Regent Chairman Edward Carter saw the report, he angrily called Byrne a "young, inexperienced guy, unaware of the pitfalls in a university administration."

Childhood ailments did not keep him from becoming a two-letter man (baseball and basketball) at Omaha's Creighton University. But when he tried touring with the Harlem Globetrotters, he had a series of asthma attacks and quit...

"A decisive turning point," said Episcopal Bishop Robert Gibson of Virginia. Blake, the United Presbyterians' Stated Clerk, called it "a major step forward...
