Daily News Is Turning a Gamble Into a Rebirth
Date: 01 November 1993
By William Glaberson
William Glaberson
The Daily News, bankrupt and battered when Mortimer B. Zuckerman bought it last January, is now a profitable business, its publishers say, reversing multimillion-dollar losses and defying predictions of doom that plagued the New York newspaper for a decade. About a hundred newly hired writers and editors are settling in. Advertising revenues are climbing, the publishers say. And the newspaper's pages are beginning to show some of their old zip. In effect, the owners are betting millions of dollars that the cheeky but rigorous style of tabloid journalism that The News virtually invented can thrive again in America's biggest city.

In an Endorsement, a Search for Signals

A newspaper's editorial stance is often central to its identity with readers. So it was with special interest that news professionals took note of The Daily News's endorsement of Rudolph W. Giuliani for mayor last week. With racial politics so much the subtext in the election, some of them said, it was revealing that The News under Mortimer B. Zuckerman chose to urge the ouster of David N. Dinkins, the city's first black mayor, because of his "unfulfilled promise."

Possessed? You Might Give Maury Povich a Call
Date: 31 October 1993

THE last couple of months have been busy ones for real-life ghostbusters, devil-defiers, hooligan-haters -- and talk-show hosts and tabloid-television news shows. First, an Arizona psychologist performed an exorcism on a 10-year-old and billed the state $180 for the two-hour procedure. Then "The Maury Povich Show" devoted a whole hour to exorcism, and on Friday Joan Rivers questioned a man who claimed he had chased vampires in Dracula's castle. Then the Amazing Kreskin, who calls himself a "mentalist," went haunted house-hunting with a television crew. (They didn't find the ghost of Aaron Burr's wife, as promised, but a dollar bill did sail mysteriously across the carpet.)

New Jersey Q & A: John J. O'Brien; Staying on Top of Newspaper Trends
Date: 31 October 1993

JOHN J. O'BRIEN, the executive director of the New Jersey Press Association, has come a long way since his days of sweeping the floors in the press room at the weekly Hunterdon County Democrat in Flemington 28 years ago. Though it seems odd now, he thought he had "reached the pinnacle" of his career when the paper quickly promoted him to Linotype operator in the composing room, setting news articles and advertisements in hot metal.

Nuclear Era Is Departing By Same Door It Entered
Date: 31 October 1993
By Matthew L. Wald
Matthew Wald
Nuclear disarmament begins at a conference table in Moscow, Geneva or Washington. But it is carried out in places like a circular concrete cell buried in the dusty soil of the Texas Panhandle, where spheres of high explosives are pried from their cores of plutonium, rendering a bomb of almost unimaginable power into a collection of merely hazardous ingredients. Dismantling nuclear warheads may be infinitely better than detonating them, but the job is tricky. In addition to being radioactive, plutonium is highly toxic and can burn on contact with air, and most of the explosives are old and prone to detonate with heat or shock.

DEATH BENEFITS
Date: 31 October 1993
I have enjoyed the company of journalists at lonely places, and argued the essential truth of their profession at isolated outposts and in the backs of trucks. That truth is, they are not, as Malcolm W. Browne would have us believe (Endpaper/Life and Times: "Death Benefits," Oct. 3), in a state of grace; rather, they are in limbo, condemned to watch from afar the passions and pain of humanity. It is this that forces them back to their hotel rooms, showers and bars, leaving those who may never return to continue their Sisyphean tasks.
