Date: 20 June 1995
By Nicholas D. Kristof

The latest big news is that "the U.S. imperialist war-maniacs" and the "South Korean puppets" are engaging in military maneuvers and plotting to attack North Korea, again. The last time this happened was the Korean War, a "criminal war against Korea started by the United States," and America is now "shamelessly" planning a Korean War memorial. This is "a foolish attempt to justify its provocation of the war of aggression and its murder of people."

RJR NABISCO IS PLANNING AN EXCHANGE OF STOCK
Date: 21 June 1995
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The RJR Nabisco Holdings Corporation said yesterday that it planned to exchange as much as $1.23 billion of new securities for expensive preferred stock in an effort to reduce financing costs. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said it planned to exchange trust-originated preferred securities for as many as 49 million of its preferred shares. The one-for-one exchange will be less expensive for RJR Nabisco because the trust-originated securities are debt securities that are counted as equity on the balance sheet, people familiar with the transaction said. Debt is less expensive than preferred shares for companies because interest payments on debt are pretax expenses and reduce taxable income. RJR Nabisco could pare about $10 million from its annual costs as a result of the exchange, analysts said.

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Leslie Fay Companies has abandoned efforts to find a buyer for its core businesses, saying it plans to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as an independent entity. The apparel company, which is based in New York, declined to comment on why it ended the sale efforts. In March, the company asked its financial adviser to explore the sale of its Leslie Fay Dress, Sportswear, Albert Nipon, Outlander and Castelberry apparel manufacturing and marketing businesses and its Leslie Fay group of 54 retail stores. Leslie Fay said it would file a bankruptcy reorganization plan by the end of July and would try to emerge from bankruptcy by the end of the year. Current shareholders' equity will probably become worthless in the reorganization, the company said.

FONAR SUES SIEMENS AND PHILIPS UNITS IN PATENT CASE

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Fonar Corporation said yesterday that it had sued units of Siemens A.G. of Germany and Philips Electronics N.V. of the Netherlands, accusing them of infringing patents covering magnetic-resonance imaging technology. The suits, which were filed on Friday in Federal District Court in Hauppauge, L.I., follow Fonar's court victory last month in a patent case involving the General Electric Company. In that case, a Federal jury awarded $110.5 million to Fonar, a maker of M.R.I. machines based in Melville. L.I., after concluding that G.E. had infringed two patents. The court has not ruled yet on a motion by G.E. to overturn the verdict. Two of the four patents at issue in the latest suits are the same as those in the G.E. trial.

Bloomberg News
The Procter & Gamble Company said yesterday that it planned to sell about 10 minor brands to concentrate on its larger products. The brands, which include Bain de Soleil sun-care products, Fisher nuts and the Star and Dari margarine brands in the Philippines, account for less than five-tenths of 1 percent of P.& G.'s annual sales of $32 billion, or less than $160 million.
