Cable With a Local Twist
Date: 24 July 1995
By Mark Landler

Executives at Time Warner figured they had made Charles F. Dolan an offer he couldn't refuse: $2 billion for his company, the Cablevision Systems Corporation. It was the autumn of 1993, and Mr. Dolan was at an age most businessmen would consider the autumn of their careers. As the company's majority shareholder, he would have netted $1.4 billion -- enough to settle into a retirement worthy of a cable tycoon. Chuck Dolan turned them down flat.

Taking In the Sites; From the Detroit Picket Line to On Line

Labor disputes, which for many years played out on picket lines and in smoke-filled rooms, are moving onto the World Wide Web. The Woodie Guthries of today write hypertext documents, not ballads, and the Henry Fords can take their cases to a nationwide audience within minutes of a walkout. The response to a strike by six unions against Detroit's two largest newspapers, The Detroit News and The Detroit Free Press, and their operating company, the Detroit Newspaper Agency, makes it appear as if management, more than the unions, set up an electronic picket line.

It is 6 A.M. on Nelson Mandela's birthday, and "Good Morning South Africa" is on the air. The hosts -- two men, one black, one white -- wear ties bearing the President's smiling face, and take turns greeting the audience in English and Afrikaans. Over on the news desk, a black woman and a white man deliver the day's top story, again switching in and out of the two languages. Taped interviews take place in a variety of languages. Later two more news anchors reintroduce the same stories, this time in Sotho and Zulu.

Horror and Despair in the Balkans

From the takeover of Srebrenica to the assault on Zepa, television anchors and correspondents, by now masters of Serbo-Croat consonants, have been shelling the safe havens of America's living rooms with images of Serb aggression, Muslim despair and Western waffling. Night after night has brought fierce contrasts from the ferocious war: *Frightened, exhausted women and children, the sweepings of ethnic cleansing, set against polished emissaries exchanging phrases in the polished chambers of the United Nations.

First Lady Takes a Page From Eleanor Roosevelt
Date: 24 July 1995
By Todd S. Purdum
Todd Purdum
The first First Lady to become a major media figure was Eleanor Roosevelt, whose syndicated column, "My Day" began in 1936 and continued, in one form or another, for more than two decades, at its peak reaching hundreds of newspapers and making news with Mrs. Roosevelt's stands on major issues like civil rights and labor relations. Mrs. Roosevelt filed the column six days a week from all over the world, lugging a typewriter on her tour of South Pacific bases in 1943 and even composing aboard a destroyer. When Franklin D. Roosevelt once complained about Washington columnists, a reporter reminded him that his wife was one, but he replied, "She simply writes a daily diary."

The First Lady's Newest Role: Newspaper Columnist
Date: 24 July 1995
By Todd S. Purdum
Todd Purdum
One of the most scrutinized women in America made her debut in a new role today, musing lightly as a weekly syndicated columnist in more than 100 newspapers and magazines worldwide about the pleasures of driving her own car or of being mistaken for a mere look-alike of her well-known self. But even as Hillary Rodham Clinton embarked on her latest effort to explain herself as something other than someone else's cardboard conception, she found herself back in another spotlight as well: in front-page headlines as the uncalled witness and unspoken target of the latest round of Congressional investigations into the lingering soap opera of Whitewater.

WELLPOINT AND HEALTH SYSTEMS MERGER QUESTIONED
Date: 25 July 1995
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
An important California regulator has raised questions about a proposed merger between Wellpoint Health Networks Inc. and Health Systems International Inc. The two companies said on April 3 that they had agreed to merge in a stock swap that was valued at the time at $1.9 billion. The state's authority in the merger stems from its regulatory power over nonprofit Blue Cross of California , which owns 80 percent of Wellpoint. In a letter sent to the directors of Blue Cross, Gary S. Mendoza, the state's Commissioner of Corporations, said the state had "serious concerns" that Blue Cross was ceding its "controlling interest" in Wellpoint stock without any extra compensation. In the letter, Mr. Mendoza did not set a deadline for the changes and information the state wants, and said the issues could be "addressed and resolved" in a way that would not delay the proposed merger.
