In the rough and tumble of the British newspaper business, the decision by The Times of London last September to lower its newsstand price by a third, to the equivalent of 45 cents, was greeted with jeers from competitors who predicted the move would win over few new readers and decimate the paper's profits.

The Times's circulation, which had been declining steadily for years, has surged beyond even the wildest dreams of its owner, Rupert Murdoch, and its other executives.

The executive who supervised the National Medical Enterprises psychiatric hospitals in Texas was charged yesterday with conspiring to pay illegal kickbacks in exchange for patients being referred to the hospitals.
