But the milder ones--such as stopping a corporation from engaging in certain anticompetitive actions--may even be worse.

Since tabloid-type stories now crop up so frequently in mainstream print and on TV, Pecker wants the real tabloids to get more respect--and a bigger share of the action. "Right now only 8% of our revenue is advertising," he says. "I think there's an opportunity to get it up to 15% to 20%." To lure upscale advertisers, Pecker has swallowed a weekly loss of $100,000 by banning those blurbs hawking psychic healers, herbal remedies...
