Rosovsky didn't have much to say about his Tuesday trip to Washington for an interview with the Yale Corporation. Neither did the Yale Corporation, which is trying to conduct its search for a replacement for Yale's flashy former president, Kingman Brewster, in complete secrecy...
...rather like the white smoke above the Vatican that marks the election of a new Pope, the wisps coming out of Yale Professor Emeritus Edgar Boell's chimney lately have been signaling the imminent end of Yale's seven-month search for a successor to Kingman Brewster, who resigned last April to accept the ambassadorship to the Court of St. James's.

Among the recipients of honorary degrees was a well-tanned and teary-eyed Gerald Ford, who received a standing ovation as President Kingman Brewster read his citation: "It took someone to get the house clean in time for the birthday party. Somehow, you managed to get us ready to celebrate. Like the tall ships, you were a symbol of stately and cheerful serenity." Brewster, who was leaving the university after 14 often stormy years as president, then got a surprise honorary degree himself ("You have been the disturber of placid assumptions...
