After shutting down The New York Post for two days, Rupert Murdoch last week won what he said were the union concessions he needed to move into the final phase of what may be the most drawn-out purchase of a newspaper ever. To buy The Post again, Mr. Murdoch, who lost $150 million when he owned it from 1976 to 1988, must now deal with creditors of the newspaper when it was owned by Peter S. Kalikow. Mr. Kalikow, of course, bought The Post, which proclaims itself the country's oldest continuously published daily paper, from Mr. Murdoch and then lost millions on it before giving up in January.

STORAGE TECHNOLOGY SHARES STILL SLIDING

Bloomberg News
The shares of the Storage Technology Corporation continued their steep slide yesterday, as fresh concerns about the company's much-touted Iceberg product arose, analysts said. The stock, traded on the New York Stock Exchange, closed at $28.625 yesterday, down $4.625, after a loss of $7.785 on Thursday. The company disclosed its earnings late on Wednesday. Comments by the company late Wednesday on the status of the Iceberg mainframe computer storage product raised more questions than they addressed, said Gerard Hallaren, an analyst with Hanifen Imhoff. A Storage spokesman, David Reid, said the company noted in the call that there was "still some work to be done" on Iceberg.

MORE PILOT LAYOFFS ARE EXPECTED IN SEPTEMBER
Date: 17 July 1993
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
Delta Air Lines Inc. said yesterday that it expected to begin a second round of pilot layoffs in September, grounding as many as 85 pilots. The Atlanta-based carrier said the projected layoffs stemmed from an expected decline in flights. Delta, the nation's third-largest airline, is struggling to return to profitability after posting losses of more than $1.2 billion in the last two and a half years. The pilot cuts would bring the total since June to about 210. Delta laid off 136 pilots on June 1, part of a furlough plan announced in March that will eliminate as many as 600 pilots by the end of this year. The layoffs ended the airline's 36-year-old no-layoff policy.
