...national interest almost rivalling that of his predecessor, Kingman Brewster. A professor of English and comparative literature at Yale, he emerged into the spotlight as the likely choice to become that school's 19th president in December, after Henry Rosovsky, Harvard's dean of the Faculty, apparently rejected an offer from the Yale Corporation to assume the post. Well-liked by students, Giamatti served a two-year stint as master of Ezra Stiles College, one of Yale's 12 undergraduate residential colleges. He established his reputation as something of an iconoclast by refusing to allow his portrait to hang...
Dean Rosovsky found himself in the national headlines again in December after he apparently rejected the Yale Corporation's offer of that university's presidency. Rosovsky never confirmed or denied that the offer had been made, but sources close to the dean reported that he turned down the trip to New Haven because he did not want to leave Harvard before completing his review of undergraduate education. Yale instead chose A. Bartlett Giamatti, a 39-year-old professor of Renaissance literature, who had already been immortalized by having a moose-head trophy named in his honor and placed...
...first flush of triumph has faded now, and with it the bald exuberance. But so have the hassles--the continually voiced student opposition to implementation of the Core, and, perhaps more vexing, the incessant speculation over his reported refusal of the Yale Corporation's offer of that school's presidency.

...goals--implementation of the Core, renewed scrutiny of graduate education, and a continuing attention to the imperatives of fundraising--add up to a busy future for Rosovsky. Yet it is also a future that has long been a point of speculation. Since last December, when he apparently rejected an offer to become president of Yale University, Rosovsky has puzzled observers interested in his plans for life after University Hall. Some sources speculated that Rosovsky turned down the reported Yale offer because he was unwilling to abandon his direction of Harvard's own reforms; others concluded that he was holding...
Wages. In its first public blast at a labor negotiation, Bosworth's COWPS condemned as "clearly inflationary" a 25.5% three-year wage offer that West Coast employers presented to 21,000 pulp-and-paper mill workers. Both Bosworth and Charles Schultze, the President's chief economic adviser, fear that labor is coming to take for granted annual 10% wage increases. Unless the trend is reversed, says Bosworth, "we might as well forget about decelerating inflation any time in the near future...
