Some journalists at The Washington Post reacted with fury this week to a magazine article that portrayed the paper's staff as divided along racial lines and its news coverage as soft on Washington's black officials. The cover article in the current issue of The New Republic said that The Post's quest for diversity on its staff had diminished the quality of its coverage. The writer, Ruth Shalit, suggested that editors would "adjust their traditional hiring standards" to employ more minority journalists.

In an unusual First Amendment ruling, Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens Jr. refused yesterday for procedural reasons to overturn a lower-court order prohibiting Business Week from publishing an article containing information from sealed court documents. The ruling sent the case back to the Federal District Court in Cincinnati that issued the order. Later yesterday, at a hearing in that court, Judge John Feikens extended until Oct. 3 the order he had issued on Sept. 13. This meansthe magazine will probably be prohibited for a third week from publishing the article with the disputed material.

The Morrison Knudsen Corporation said yesterday that it had agreed to pay $63 million in cash and stock to settle shareholders' lawsuits. The settlement also calls for the company's former chairman, William Agee, to give up all his severance pay and much of his pension, Morrison Knudsen said. The suits, which were filed after the company announced a $350 million loss for 1994, accused Mr. Agee of intentionally concealing the losses and contended that company directors should have been aware of them. Under the settlement, the company's insurers will pay $35 million and the company will issue nearly three million shares of stock, valued at about $28.3 million, based on yesterday's closing price of $9.50. Mr. Agee could not be reached for comment.

Chase issued 6.6 million shares when it made the acquisition on Sept. 1, and it still needs to buy back 1 million shares to offset that.
