Man in the News; The Tortoise In Paris Race -- Lionel Robert Jospin
Date: 25 April 1995
By Craig R. Whitney
Craig Whitney
Lionel Jospin, who came from behind on Sunday to win a place as standardbearer of the left in France's presidential runoff next month, was born in the Paris suburb of Meudon, "like Rabelais," he likes to say. Rabelaisian is the last word most people would use to describe the 57-year-old former Education Minister, the son of a French Protestant education official. With his frameless spectacles, tousled gray hair and rapid-fire speech, he seems more like the university professor he has been in Paris and Grenoble than a gregarious politician.

Reporters Jockeying For Space
Date: 25 April 1995

Two blocks north of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, where Federal agents and rescue workers sift through the rubble trying to find bodies and clues, another small army of people go about their even more familiar business -- delivering the news to their viewers, listeners and readers around the country and across the world. The sea of vans, trucks, satellite dishes and Winnebagos covers more than two square blocks. Television networks are broadcasting from the roofs of buildings and vans, from makeshift platforms and from cherry-pickers that telescope up to capture a wider view of the wreckage.

Bitterness Over Early Finger-Pointing Toward the Middle East
Date: 24 April 1995
By Youssef M. Ibrahim
Youssef
In much of the Arab world, the news coverage of the Oklahoma City bombing is focusing on the early speculation that it was the work of Middle Eastern terrorists as more evidence of a pervasive anti-Arab bias in Western culture. While even some of the most radical Arab groups including Hamas, the Palestinian Muslim fundamentalists, and Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shiite pro-Iranian party in Lebanon, condemned the bombing, expressions of sympathy by Arabs for the victims turned to bitter criticism of the Western media as soon as white American extremists became the suspects.

One of a Kind in Booth of His Own

HISTORY now has the option on Howard Cosell, who died yesterday. If it casts him properly he will be remembered not only as the most important sports journalist of the century, but as the only one who was more of a show-business celebrity than his subjects. That combination alone assured him the resentment of most of his colleagues, easy access to most everyone in sports and an influential voice that cut through SportsWorld like a serrated knife through blue cheese.

Beijing Suicide (Or Was It Murder?) Spurs Politics by Allegory
Date: 24 April 1995
By Patrick E. Tyler
Patrick Tyler
On a bright spring day early this month, Beijing's powerful Deputy Mayor left his chauffer-driven car and walked into a ravine northwest of the city, where he smoked his last cigarette and then, officials said, killed himself with a pistol. Now, a Beijing newspaper has asked the question, "Murder or suicide?" -- but in such an oblique manner that it seems a throwback to another era in Communist Party history.

LEHMAN BROTHERS CHANGES COMPENSATION PLAN
Date: 25 April 1995
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
Lehman Brothers Inc., in an attempt to link pay more closely to performance, set up a new compensation plan yesterday for investment bankers, salesmen and traders. The 145-year-old firm is standardizing salaries for workers with similar duties and trying to end private compensation agreements. Lehman will continue to pay a portion of employee salaries in stock. "It minimizes the special deals and reinforces that we are in this business to perform," a Lehman executive said. Under the plan, employees making less than $75,000 in 1995 may receive as much as 5 percent of their bonuses in restricted stock units. Last year, the firm made a one-time grant of 50 restricted stock units for each of these employees.

TAC Inc., an investor group headed by the billionaire John W. Kluge, said yesterday that it had sweetened its all-cash tender offer for the stock of Triton Group Ltd. to $2.02 a share. TAC, a New York-based investment firm formed by Mr. Kluge of the Metromedia Company, Stuart Subotnick of Metromedia and John D. Phillips of Actava Group Inc., is offering $41.52 million for Triton. The new offer, which expires at midnight on May 5, represents a 12 percent premium to the group's previous offer of $37 million, or $1.80 a share. Mr. Kluge is seeking to gain control of Triton to seal a four-way, $1 billion stock swap combining Kluge's Metromedia International Telecommunications Inc. with Actava, MCEG Sterling Inc. and the Orion Pictures Corporation. Triton, based in San Diego, owns a 25.5 percent stake in Actava and opposes the merger. In March, Triton rejected Actava's first offer as inadequate.
