Leading news publications, including some that helped bring down the Soviet dictatorship, are being forced to curtail operations because of skyrocketing printing costs under free-market reforms now being championed philosophically in newspapers. Muscovites today could not find their daily Komsomolskaya Pravda, which went to alternate-day publication this week because of newsprint costs that have jumped from 300 rubles per ton of paper to 13,000 rubles in the last year. With more than 20 million readers, the newspaper is one of the world's largest.

On My Mind; Buchanan's Free Ride
Date: 21 February 1992
By A. M. Rosenthal

They did not create Patrick Buchanan's victory in New Hampshire -- the recession and the Administration's long lost-weekend case of economic staggers did that. But suddenly stricken with pusillanimous paralysis the press, politicians and President gave Mr. Buchanan a nice, comfortable, free ride on his way. Wait, stay with this, even if you loathe the man. I have good news toward the end about fighting him.

Reporter's Notebook; By Trip's End, Moscow Looks Good
Date: 20 February 1992

It began as a low whisper among aides to Secretary of State James A. Baker 3d. But as the plane taking them to Moscow at the close of Mr. Baker's grueling tour of former Soviet republics took off, the whispers grew into a vigorous chant: "Penta, Penta, Penta, Penta." The Penta is the deluxe German-run hotel in Moscow where Mr. Baker always stays. After a week of sleeping often two or three to a room in seedy, run-down former Communist Party guest houses in the wilds of Ashkhabad and Dushanbe, Mr. Baker's aides were desperate for the down comforters, hot water and efficiency of the Penta. It was the first time any of them could recall longing to get to Moscow.

My early prognostication still holds. Clinton gets the Democratic nomination, chooses Kerrey for V.P., and they run a respectable race; the economy turns up briskly and the Bush-Quayle ticket wins. To check this out on the morning after New Hampshire, I called a former boss and observed how this was a great day for Old Nixon Hands.

"We issued subpoenas last week to corporations and individuals affiliated with The Racing Times and The Racing Form," he said.

THE 1992 CAMPAIGN: Campaign Journal; Setback for the Media Manipulators
Date: 20 February 1992
By John Tierney

The most overused slogan in the Presidential campaign here probably was "take back." Orators differed on what precisely needed to be taken back -- the election, the system, the Government, the country -- but they agreed on what had taken it away: money and media. Politics was being corrupted by slick television images, quick sound bites, sleazy attacks and generally superficial media manipulation. Well, the votes are in here, and it's not looking good for the media manipulators. The Democratic primary was won by a homely candidate with a small advertising budget who was initially written off by the press and did not run any negative or even very interesting commercials. The candidate with the most dramatic spot advertising -- and the meanest attack advertisements -- finished fourth, just two percentage points ahead of a candidate who barely did any spot advertising at all.

Cessna, based in Wichita, Kan., had sales of about $820 million in 1991. Textron, based in Providence, R.I., will employ about 5,400 Cessna employees after the sale, he said.
