None of the fractiousness, though, has revolved around Dr. Lonnie R. Bristow, a 65-year-old New York native who took office today as the first black president of the prestigious but troubled association.

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.

FONAR SUES SIEMENS AND PHILIPS UNITS IN PATENT CASE
Date: 21 June 1995
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.

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Westinghouse Electric Corporation said yesterday that it would try for a second time this year to sell its 62 percent stake in Micros Systems Inc. for at least $150 million as part of a plan to reduce debt. In March, Westinghouse postponed a planned secondary offering of its 4.85 million shares in Micros, a maker of point-of-sale computer systems used by restaurants and hotels. The sale was delayed because of market conditions. Westinghouse, based in Pittsburgh, now plans to sell its stake in Micros, a publicly traded subsidiary based in Beltsville, Md., in the second half of this year, a spokesman said. Westinghouse acquired its stake in Micros in 1986. Micros shares fell $1.25, to $33.50, in Nasdaq trading yesterday, while Westinghouse shares slipped 12.5 cents, to $15.125, on the New York Stock Exchange.
