Rosovsky has managed to return the Faculty to solvency through straightforward conservative management, not slashing any major programs but narrowing the flow of funds at miscellaneous points. In 1976 he saved $60,000 by reducing the number of office phones. More recently, cutbacks in the hours of William James Hall saved about $125,000. This year, Faculty members who take out interest-free educational loans for their children will file forms to allow the Faculty to recover that interest from the federal government--a change that will mean about $100,000 more for the Faculty within about four years...

...William H. Read, a research fellow in the Harvard Program on Information Resources Policy, said this week the less developed nations for the first time control more than two-thirds of the conference's votes. He added, they could overturn the present laissez-faire principles of frequency distribution, which favor developed nations.
