...market for microchips. Last week House Speaker Newt Gingrich and minority leader Dick Gephardt urged President Clinton to use "all available means" to pry open Japan's market. Fuji denies any wrongdoing, and it is preparing to make the issue moot in the future by adding a 35-mm color-film plant, part of a $200 million investment, to its existing manufacturing complex in Greenwood, S.C. The new facility will have the capacity to turn out 100 million cost-competitive rolls a year when it opens in November...
...deal, to the Times at least, when its 1.1 million subscribers (the third highest of any paper in the country, behind the Wall Street Journal and USA Today) were greeted last Monday, for the first time ever, with color photos in the daily paper. It's part of the most radical face-lift the Times has attempted in two decades. Besides adding color (which will creep from the "soft" sections onto the front page sometime in October), the Times has expanded from four to six sections on most weekdays, giving sports and arts their own daily freestanding sections...
...newspaper world, these changes are hardly revolutionary. Most papers switched to color years ago, and many already have six or more sections every day. But the Times is no ordinary newspaper.

Stories in the new sections included such entertaining fare as a look at cookbook recipes that don't work and a design review of TV talk-show sets. But make no mistake: this is still your father's New York Times. The lead story in Monday's arts section was about a dead opera singer--Maria Callas--while an architecture review of a new Holocaust museum...
...paper's guiding credo might have come from Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain: Dignity, always dignity. An early color version of the business section was reportedly sent back by top editors, who found its turquoise-and-orange charts too reminiscent of USA Today. Color in the Times will be "sophisticated," says Arthur Sulzberger Jr., the paper's boyishly exuberant publisher. He likes to recall a focus-group session the paper did several years ago in Connecticut. Shown some proposed changes in the Times, one woman was appalled. "I don't read the paper," she said...
