In the rough and tumble of the British newspaper business, the decision by The Times of London last September to lower its newsstand price by a third, to the equivalent of 45 cents, was greeted with jeers from competitors who predicted the move would win over few new readers and decimate the paper's profits. Nine months later, the jeering has stopped, and newspaper publishers and analysts in Britain and around the world are wondering whether The Times is on to something. The Times's circulation, which had been declining steadily for years, has surged beyond even the wildest dreams of its owner, Rupert Murdoch, and its other executives. According to figures released on Friday by the Audit Bureau of Circulations, the paper's circulation in May was 517,575, a record high, and 46 percent higher than in August, just before the price cut.

Salary Cap to Be Gradual

Date: 12 June 1994

For the past few years, major league baseball club owners have emphasized their need for a salary cap and the players have expressed their opposition to the idea.

Rather than institute the salary cap for next season and have it take effect on players' salaries immediately, the clubs would phase it in over the next several seasons, a member of management said yesterday. The person declined to give other details, but acknowledged that the cap wouldn't take full effect until somewhere around the 1998 season.
