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. A seven-member committee of administrators, professors, the acting police chief and a student at the Law School chose Chafin from a pool of 200 applicants one year after the position was vacated. Joe B. Wvatt, vice president for administration and a member of the search committee, says the committee selected Chafin because of his blend of urban and university...
...Leonard Slatkin, 35, grew up professionally with St. Louis. 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. He is an inventive programmer who likes little-known American works and singles out the less popular symphonies of the major composers. 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.

Then and during a later stint as the relentless harrower of Jimmy Hoffa, Bobby's rough image was frozen forever in many minds: an Irish Torquemada with a face like a fist and a voice out of Warner Bros, cartoons. He ran J.F.K.'s 1960 campaign in a manner that suggested, reasonably enough, that winning mattered most. As an activist Attorney General with a brother...
...always-tough K.C. Royals, who swept them last weekend, at Fenway today, tormorrow and for a doubleheader on Sunday, but you'd better stick to the tube, 'cause this series has been sold out for quite a while. There should be some seats left for the two-game stint against the rapidly faltering Chicago White Sox on Monday and Tuesday, because the way the Pale Hose have been playing lately they couldn't draw a full house if Wilbur Wood promised to arrive on the mound in a sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer. Of course, given the level...
