The training proved to be apt preparation for his job as director of the New York City Opera. For the past eight years, operating on a budget that would pass for carfare at the Metropolitan Opera, he has been nurturing his company in a glorified Manhattan shoe box called City Center. Last week, like slum kids transported to the country, Rudel and his 200-member troupe moved into the spacious luxury of the New York State...

Meredith Wilson, North Carolina's William Friday, U.C.L.A.'s Franklin Murphy, Illinois' David Henry), the Institute of International Education (Wilson, Hesburgh, Murphy, McBride, Henry...
...Julius Stratton, 64, M.l.T. A scholar as well as keen administrator, he spends at least a day each week on national committees: "People have asked me how you get on these boards, but the difficulty is staying off." A physicist, he has spent more than 40 years at M.I.T., says that "those of us who are centered on science have a national obligation to respond...
