Now that Rupert Murdoch is HERE TO STAY, as the front page of the money-losing New York Post boomed last week, it is time to answer the question: WHY DOES HE WANT IT? The answer appears to be a usual one for would-be newspaper publishers: he wants power and profit.

After shutting down The New York Post for two days, Rupert Murdoch last week won what he said were the union concessions he needed to move into the final phase of what may be the most drawn-out purchase of a newspaper ever. To buy The Post again, Mr. Murdoch, who lost $150 million when he owned it from 1976 to 1988, must now deal with creditors of the newspaper when it was owned by Peter S. Kalikow. Mr. Kalikow, of course, bought The Post, which proclaims itself the country's oldest continuously published daily paper, from Mr. Murdoch and then lost millions on it before giving up in January.

THE monthly dips and blips in consumer spending may be front-page news to some but to yours truly, they're no surprise at all. That's because I am part of the seasonally adjusted, the weighted aggregate; a person who no longer responds to economic news, but makes it. Before you accuse me of economic chutzpah, let me explain. To friends and workmates, I'm just another suburban warrior looking for that perfect parking place in the strip mall of life. But thanks to a telephone call from the Bureau of the Census, I am a secret agent, a 007 in the war of indexes. More specifically, I am 73602400753CPP, a member of a select group that comprises the Consumer Price Index.

Here's a news flash that television broadcasters would probably prefer parents not receive. The technology is available that would let parents automatically block out programs loaded with violence and gore, and the cost of the equipment could be as little as $5 a TV set. Under pressure from Congress, the four commercial television networks announced last month that beginning this fall they will voluntarily preface violent programs with a parental advisory. But a back-room debate continues over whether television programmers should go a step farther by embracing automatic "lock out" technologies to let households block shows that carry such advisories, and whether these devices would be effective at controlling what children watch.

He came to the United States with a college degree in finance and a working knowledge of English. But Mr. Alves said others face a tougher road trying to overcome language and culture barriers. Mr. Alves, who is the treasurer of the Portuguese-American Political Action Committee in Naugatuck, took on a new task starting last year. Each week he transcribes stories from his hometown newspaper, The Naugatuck Daily News, into Portuguese for non-English-speaking residents.
