Date: 29 May 1995
By Richard W. Stevenson
Richard Stevenson
The document issued by the British Government last week revising the rules for control of newspapers, television and radio was given a dutiful bureaucratic title: "Media Ownership: The Government's Proposals." It might as well have been titled "What to Do About Rupert." The document, should its proposals become law, would have sweeping effects on the development of the British publishing and broadcasting industries.

A Compromise Bid on Kashmir
Date: 29 May 1995
India's Prime Minister, P. V. Narasimha Rao, is exploring the idea of offering the troubled state of Kashmir a form of political autonomy. That could help resolve a sectarian conflict that has cost at least 20,000 lives since 1990. In another welcome move, Mr. Rao let a broad anti-terrorism law expire last week. More than 65,000 people, including Government critics and journalists, had been rounded up under the law since its enactment a decade ago. India and Pakistan have quarreled bitterly over Kashmir since the maharajah of the Muslim-majority state invited the Indian Army to suppress a Pakistani-supported revolt in 1947. A series of wars has left Kashmir partitioned between the two rivals. New Delhi now regards its portion as an integral part of India, but local Muslim separatists have repeatedly rebelled, with active Pakistani support. Kashmir has been under direct rule from New Delhi since 1990, when the most recent uprising began.
