Newspaper office computers are frequent targets for prying. One reason: news organizations make extensive use of open telephone lines to transmit and receive electronic messages. In addition, notes Geoffrey Stokes, press columnist for New York City's Village Voice, "We are all professional snoops." Stokes' columns frequently contain items leaked to him from the computers of the large New York dailies. Last year he gleefully printed a memo purloined from the New York Times revealing that Arthur Gelb, one of that paper's top editors, asked a Paris reporter to investigate the effects of the Chernobyl nuclear accident on Russian...
...going to do something about all this, and I mean now!" So said a determined Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole last week as she complained about an old, exasperating problem in the airline industry: frequent flight delays. At Dole's request and with the promise of immunity from antitrust prosecution, representatives of 45 airlines met for four days in the ballroom of Washington's Westin Hotel.

A further regulation would have forbidden the creation of monopolies...
Nahum Vaskevitch and David Sofer were well known respectively in London and Jerusalem financial circles, where they seemed the very models of the modern investment wizard. Less known to their colleagues -- in fact, their deep, dark secret -- was the amount of time they spent in frequent, terse phone conversations. Last week the subject of their calls became the stuff of scandal when the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Vaskevitch, 36, the head of international mergers in Merrill Lynch's London office, and Sofer, 46, an Israeli stock speculator, with ringing up more than $4 million in illegal profits from...
