Despite a long and detailed on-air apology from NBC News, General Motors said yesterday that it had suspended advertising on all NBC News programs indefinitely but would continue buying spots on entertainment and sports programs. G.M.'s announcement came as NBC executives announced an "urgent and intense" review of how and why their news magazine program "Dateline NBC" decided to tamper with a G.M. pickup truck so that it would be certain to catch fire in a filmed collision.

The prospective buyer of The New York Post was accused yesterday by a former Post employee of being prejudiced against blacks and homosexuals. The accusation prompted an angry denial from the buyer, Steven Hoffenberg, who called the allegations "outrageous, disgusting lies." The accusations against Mr. Hoffenberg came from Mike McAlary, a former Post columnist now working for The Daily News, as he testified in State Supreme Court in Manhattan in a suit brought by the Post, which is seeking a court order to bar the columnist and other former Post employees from working for The News.

CLINTON LAYS BASE FOR NEW SACRIFICE TO BOOST ECONOMY
Date: 11 February 1993
By Thomas L. Friedman
Thomas Friedman
Laying the groundwork for the economic proposals he will offer next week, President Clinton returned last night to the talk-show format he used during the fall campaign and tried to prepare the nation for higher taxes and painful budget cuts. Mr. Clinton sought to use the televised "town meeting" broadcast from Southfield in suburban Detroit to persuade Americans that he was not being diverted by the issues that dominated the first two weeks of his Administration: whether to allow homosexuals in the military and the ill-fated search for an Attorney General. Instead, he emphasized that he was working on almost nothing but the economic plan he will introduce Wednesday.

NEW YORK CITY BATTLE RAGES OVER FERNANDEZ With the fate of Schools Chancellor Fernandez hanging in the balance, his supporters and opponents waged a last-minute campaign through public demonstrations and private persuasion to influence votes on the Board of Education. A1. DINKINS CRITICIZES STEIN ON MAILING Mayor Dinkins criticized City Council President Stein after Mr. Stein acknowledged that his campaign organization had mailed an anonymous pamphlet to gay-rights advocates attacking the Mayor's record. Mr. Dinkins asserted that when the two men ran against each other for Manhattan Borough President in 1981, Mr. Stein also sent out campaign literature without his name attached to it. Mr. Stein defended his actions in both cases. B3. TRUMP TOWER, TIFFANY'S AND BUGS BUNNY The long-vacant fourth corner of New York's retail epicenter -- Fifth Avenue and 57th Street -- has been leased to an incongruous newcomer: the Warner Bros. Studio Store, which will brim with Tweety Bird sequined jackets, Daffy Duck golf balls and other products. B3. POST SUITOR'S FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENT If S.E.C. allegations are true, Towers Financial, whose chairman wants to take over The New York Post, may resemble a classic Ponzi scheme, in which initial investors are paid with the proceeds from subsequent investors. Business Day, page D8. Prospective Post owner accused by former employee of being prejudiced. B4. Letterman producers say they will stay in New York if some questions can be resolved. C15. REGION SURVIVAL IN CONNECTICUT Connecticut is home to an estimated 1,800 to 3,100 military contractors and subcontractors, and all are struggling to figure out how to survive the end of the cold war. Many will shrink; some will disappear, unable to find a new niche. Dozens have already perished. Every company has its own strategy for survival. B6. HARSH WORDS IN GLEN RIDGE CASE A defense lawyer sharply criticized the mother of the mildly retarded woman at the center of the Glen Ridge sex assault trial, contending that she was partly to blame for the sexual encounter that led to the trial of four former high school football players. B8. FLORIO'S AGENDA, BUDGET AND OTHERWISE In a year in which both he and all 120 members of the State Legislature face re-election, Governor Florio used much of his annual budget address to trumpet the successes of his first term in office and to set the platform on which he is expected to seek a second term. B8. COURT TO HEAR ROOSEVELT RACEWAY CASE After almost six years of controversy, a Federal court will hear claims that the owners of Roosevelt Raceway engaged in fraud when they obtained tax-free bonds to buy the property. B8. DEATH SENTENCE UPHELD IN NEW JERSEY For only the third time in 34 opinions, the New Jersey Supreme Court has upheld a death sentence under the state's death penalty statute. B8.

Opening the pages of El Diario newspaper here, a reader enters a strange world peopled by "reptile Fujimori," "wimpering revisionists" and "animal generals with worm-eaten brains." The clandestine newspaper is a beacon of hope to guerrillas of the Shining Path movement, and the object of study by linguists analyzing the language for insights into revolutionary psychology.

A Federal judge said yesterday that he would hold a hearing on whether to freeze the assets of Steven Hoffenberg before Mr. Hoffenberg completed his purchase of The New York Post. The action appears to raise an additional obstacle to the purchase because the hearing could cast doubts on the financial ability of Mr. Hoffenberg to complete the deal.

The Gendex Corporation, a maker of medical and dental X-ray equipment, said yesterday that it had signed an agreement to merge with Dentsply International Inc., a major denture maker.

COMPANY NEWS: Hiding Places for Drugs; Why Coke in Cans Annoys Coca-Cola
Date: 10 February 1993
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
At first blush, one would think the Coca-Cola Company would be flattered to have a likeness of its soft-drink cans used as a shell for a small safe. After all, Coca-Cola is widely regarded as the world's most valuable brand, and its stock is generally considered a safe bet. But the soft drink giant has taken exception to a California company that turns Coke cans into safes, because many consumers apparently use them to hide illegal drugs. The Atlanta-based beverage giant has charged California Safe, based in Van Nuys, Calif., with seven counts of trademark infringement in a suit filed in United States District Court here.

BELMAC STOCK LEAPS 24% ON REVENUE GOALS
Date: 10 February 1993
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The stock of the Belmac Corporation jumped 24 percent yesterday after a report that the pharmaceuticals company told shareholders it had set a goal of $100 million in revenue within two years and possibly five times that within five years. The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune reported that the company said meeting those goals depended on American regulatory approval of its drugs, none of which have been approved thus far for sale in the United States. Last year, Belmac, which is based in Tampa, had $13.1 million in sales. Although the company has never shown a profit, analysts expect Belmac to post revenue of more than $50 million this year if it completes the purchase of two European pharmaceutical companies. Belmac shares gained 87.5 cents yesterday, closing at $4.50 on the American Stock Exchange.

BURGUNDIANS RETAIN SKADDEN, ARPS IN FACTORY CLOSING

The regional administration of Burgundy in France has hired the law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom to help fight the closing of a factory there by the Hoover Company. Hoover, a unit of the Maytag Corporation, said last month that it would close its vacuum-cleaner plant at Dijon, eliminating 650 jobs. The company plans to combine the plant's production with that of a Scottish factory that employs 950 workers. Besides retaining Skadden, Arps, Burgundy filed a complaint with the European Commission. Last week, France's Prime Minister, Pierre Beregovoy, called Hoover's plan "social dumping," adding that Scottish workers were paid lower wages and worked under worse conditions than French workers. A Maytag spokesman was not available for comment.
