During the brief vogue for the movie "Indecent Proposal" last year, couples nationwide argued about whether it was right for a woman to sleep with Robert Redford in exchange for a million bucks. My wife and I never resolved this issue -- we wouldn't mind a house in the country, actually -- but since the offer wasn't on our table, we pressed on. Yet until the nasty whispers started spreading, few debated the wisdom of real-life parents who turned over their children to Michael Jackson in exchange for shopping sprees at Toys "R" Us, special Disneyland tours and overnights at Neverland Ranch, a sort of Playboy Mansion for tots. Mr. Jackson, by far a bigger star than Robert Redford, couldn't possibly be up to no good.

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Hewlett-Packard Company announced a new line of computer file servers yesterday that provide more power for less money than older Hewlett-Packard servers. The new servers -- specialized computers that store files so they can be moved among personal computers on a network -- are Hewlett-Packard's second challenge in two weeks to the Compaq Computer Corporation, which analysts said has the biggest share of the $6 billion global market for servers, about 28 percent. Two weeks ago, Hewlett-Packard announced a product line that included a $5,969 server. Yesterday, it introduced servers priced between $11,750, for a model that connects a group of eight PC's, and $85,000, for one that links up to 100 PC's. Compaq sells two server lines. The Prosignia line is priced between $3,500 and $15,200 and the newer Proliant is priced from $6,000; they have a 28 percent market share. Hewlett shares rose $2.125 yesterday, to $85. Compaq shares closed at $83.75, up $1.625. Both stocks are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

On other commodity markets, hog and pork belly futures soared on concerns about cold weather. Crude and heating oil fell after production was partly restored at the nation's fourth- largest refinery.

News From Museums
Date: 30 January 1994
To the Editor: "Where the Sun Never Sets" (editorial, Jan. 22), describing the exhibitions in New York City's museums, is a breath of much-needed fresh air. When out-of-town acquaintances dump on New York, I tell them we have more museums, concert halls and cultural opportunities than any other city in the nation. I wish television and radio news would reduce their coverage of crime and other sordid events, and report more on the city's cultural gifts. ELI MASON New York, Jan. 26, 1994
