The News Corporation, the Australian media conglomerate headed by Rupert Murdoch, reported yesterday that after-tax operating profit, after unusual items, more than doubled in its fiscal third quarter, to $129.6 million from $59.4 million in the period a year earlier. Analysts found the results particularly impressive because revenue was off slightly, to $1.806 billion from $1.840 billion. Because of currency fluctuations, however, revenue in terms of Australian dollars showed a gain.

Woman in the News; A 'Full-Time Volunteer': Carol Ann Gresser
Date: 13 May 1993

To stand at the center of contentious issues, take time with deliberations and live with a "burdensome conscience," as Carol A. Gresser once described her own, is to sometimes court two different perceptions. Often regarded as a classic swing voter on New York City's Board of Education, Mrs. Gresser, in her three years as a board member from Queens, has been described, by turns, as thoughtful and Machiavellian. Most often, though, she is perceived as a classic mom who saw four children through the public school system and has since maintained a soft personal touch, a penchant for thank-you notes, a strong commitment to parents' concerns and a tendency to agonize over such difficult issues as sex education, the Rainbow Curriculum and the distribution of condoms in high school classrooms.

The British Government said today that it was possible that private conversations among members of the royal family had been surreptitiously recorded, but it denied responsibility for what a newspaper asserted was a tape of an argument last year between the Prince and Princess of Wales. The article in The Sun was the latest in a string of press reports that have sought to connect British intelligence services to surveillance of the royal family.

Coverage Cited by Groups Opposing Sale of Post to Murdoch

Civil rights groups and minority businessmen seeking to block Rupert Murdoch's proposed purchase of The New York Post have argued in filings with the Federal Government that the move would perpetuate poor coverage of the city's black and Hispanic communities. They told the Federal Communication Commissions that allowing Mr. Murdoch to own both a local television station and The Post would stifle competition. They also accused Mr. Murdoch and all of the city's daily newspapers of discrimination in both hiring and promotion practices and coverage of minority issues. Mr. Murdoch owns WNYW-TV, Channel 5, which is part of the Fox network.

Terrorism From Colombia
Date: 13 May 1993
Fourteen months have passed since Colombian drug lords murdered Manuel de Dios Unanue in New York City for writing muckraking stories about the drug trade. As time slipped by, anguished friends and family asserted that police were dragging their feet because Mr. de Dios was from the Spanish-language press and little known to the English-speaking audience. Not so. The portrait of the investigation that emerged this week showed that police had worked quietly but doggedly to break the case. The results so far should provide solace for Mr. de Dios's friends and family. For President Clinton and his new drug czar, Lee Brown, this murder should be an alarming reminder of how deeply the Colombian drug lords have penetrated American defenses.
