Huntington returned to Harvard this term after a two-year stint in the Carter administration as coordinator of Security Planning at the National Security Council. Working closely with Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Carter's national security adviser, Huntington served as a speechwriter and adviser to the president in the fields of defense and energy, and directed a study on U.S. national strategy in military policy...
Hassler saved Stanley with his rally-quashing stint, but Baker suffered a worse fate. A leadoff walk to Butch Hobson and a hit-and-run single by pinch-hitter (for George Scott) Jack Brohamer sent Baker to the showers after five innings of near-perfect work. With John Hiller on the mound for Detroit, Jason Thompson nearly killed the rally by gunning pinch-runner Frank Duffy at the plate with one out, but Mr. Remy coolly stroked his game-winning single to centerfield moments later...
Chafin, a black, 41-year-old former Hartford, Conn. police officer, joined Harvard in June after a six-year stint (including one year as director of security) with the department of public safety at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Before his stint as music director of the New Orleans Philharmonic, he had moved upward, through the conducting ranks of the orchestra he will now head.

Slatkin's weakness, musicians feel, is his tendency to skim the surface of music and his awkwardness on the podium. Still, he and St. Louis know each other intimately and should grow together...
Arthur Ashe, winner of the first U.S. Open in 1968, likewise decries the new superstars' lack of loyalty to the game. As an amateur, Ashe earned $28 a day for his ten-day stint at Forest Hills, while the beaten finalist, Pro Tom Okker, took home a check for $14,000. Says Ashe: "Only when the players take it upon themselves to assume responsibility for the circuit and the health the game as a whole will we have coherence. Right now we've got some greedy players at the top who do whatever they please, entering tournaments late...
