...energize his drive to build Fox into an equal of the NBC, CBS and ABC networks. The investigation slowed his progress, coming on the heels of two bold deals that sharply altered the competitive landscape. His successful pre-emptive bid in late 1993 to acquire rights to broadcast National Football League games, and his $500 million investment last year in New World Communications, which brought to Fox a stable of powerful new affiliates, changed the strategic balance among the networks...
...broadcasters are bracing for another Murdoch strike. Fox's affiliates expect Murdoch to make a run at buying world rights to broadcast the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.

The source: Wolverine Productions, the Michigan home base of antigovernment agitator and shortwave-radio broadcaster Mark Koernke. Says Stockman: "I don't even know the woman that sent me the fax. I mean, all I know is that she was Orange County [Texas] Republican chairman for a while, and then I heard she just up and disappeared." In fact, according to the woman, Libby Molley, Stockman...
