...payroll-cutting agreements with the eleven unions at the News. Further, the Tribune Co. will have to cover potential tens of millions of dollars in pension and severance obligations for all employees who are laid off during the 30-day transfer period, though that will cost less than an outright closure. As part of the deal, Allbritton will get the News's presses, trucks and two printing plants, one in Brooklyn, the other on a prime stretch of riverfront in Queens. (He will lease the News's offices from the Tribune Co.) In exchange, Allbritton will become responsible...
...demonstrations in the West Bank and Gaza raised the specter of another war. In neighboring Arab countries, governments speculated that the Israelis, if not preparing for outright annexation, were intentionally trying to drive out the Palestinian Arabs, who constitute more than 96% of the population of the West Bank and Gaza. Three Arab states-Jordan, Lebanon and Syria-called one-hour national strikes as gestures of sympathy for the Palestinians. At the United Nations, the Security Council began debate on a motion to condemn Israel for its actions on the West Bank...
Jenkins' strong opposition came not only from the two major parties but from the Scottish Nationalists, who favor outright independence and usually command 10% to 15% of the vote in the district.

Obsessed with the future, and particularly career choices; increasingly apolitical; hung-up and generally dull--that's the portrait presented by The New York Times campus updates. At their most extreme, the makers of conventional wisdom insist that a wave of outright conservatism has washed over traditionally left-leaning East Coast schools, drowning the activists and the liberal skeptics under a sea of business school applications...
What Kahn brought back in his notebook was either outright wish fulfillment or a portrait of a whole other America, featuring people far more buoyant and bullish than would seem possible in the midst of a deepening recession. In Pittsburgh Kahn found unemployment, to be sure, but also a labor force with half again as many white-collar workers as blue, an economic fact of life that has helped to cushion the deepening industry-wide slump in steel orders. In Houston (". . . the only place on earth where I have heard 'trillion' used in casual conversation ...") he learned that...
