...Playing brilliantly under fire, Spassky countered with a checkmating threat that after 43 moves forced each player to accept one-half point for a draw. That gave Fischer a 9-6 lead (he needs 12½ points to win the match, Spassky needs 12) and led Arpad Elo, official statistician for the World Chess Federation, to make a prediction: if each contestant continues to play at the present level of his capabilities, the match will be over on Sunday, August 27, and Bobby Fischer will be the new world champion...
...mother of three children. Landing a job was no problem. She and her husband, a trade-book publisher, were friends of Dreyfus Corp. Chairman Howard Stein. But that friendship-and some courses in economics at Columbia -got her a job only as a $6,000-a-year statistician. It was enough to give her a chance to show that she had a canny way of sizing up stocks. Now after spending three years co-managing the Dreyfus Leverage Fund, Talley, at 40, has become the first woman to run a mutual fund. Last month she was named executive vice president...
Born in Winchendon, Mass., Bowker earned degrees at M.I.T. and Columbia and became a leading mathematical statistician. As dean of the Stanford graduate school, he sharply improved its faculty, then left in 1963 to create a first-rate graduate program at CUNY. Because of his unusual record of academic, political and social expertise, University of California President Charles J. Hitch recommended only one man to head Berkeley-Bowker...
Guenther is only one of the Harvard persons in the campaign hierarchy. Arrold Waters '71 is the head fund raiser, while Alan Gerlach '71 is chief statistician. "Gerlach's one of the few persons I wouldn't challenge to a political nonsense contest," DiCara said Monday, extending a rare compliment. Chip Moore '72 will also have a big role this summer. Cindy Johnston, who will do a poll for DiCara, is a Wellesley student. But DiCara claims to have less aristocratic types working at the important grassroots level...
...middle of the mess was C.U.N.Y. Chancellor Albert Bowker. With his mumbling speech and rumpled suits, the 51-year-old scholar may not have suggested the image of an urban savior. But Bowker came to the problem with impressive credentials. Born in Winchendon, Mass., he was a respected mathematical statistician with an undergraduate degree from M.I.T. and a Ph.D. from Columbia. As dean of the Stanford graduate school for five years, he had pushed his faculty to the top in national ratings and drawn the attention of New York City's board of higher education, which hired...
