Despite the problems, it is expected that some version of the core will pass at a faculty vote on April 11-especially since Rosovsky, who turned down the presidency of Yale partly to push the reform, has personally lobbied 150 to 200 of the 733 faculty members. Said one professor: "The dean has really hitched his wagon to this...

One year later he fractured the leg a second time while clowning around on a children's slide. Within 18 months, however, Mahre had recovered sufficiently to place a respectable fifth in the giant slalom...
