Network television news, long dismissed by critics as superficial, now reports on certain national and international events more thoroughly than do some respected metropolitan newspapers, according to a comprehensive study presented here at the annual meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. The study, by the Freedom Forum Media Studies Center, reached that conclusion, described by the authors as unexpected, after an unusually detailed comparison in January between network news telecasts and three leading newspapers.

Little-Noted Tiptoe Through a Closing Loophole

The dialogue between the two Senators on March 24 was practically incomprehensible: Senator Carol Moseley-Braun, the Illinois Democrat, and Senator Bob Packwood, the Oregon Republican who is chairman of the Finance Committee, were discussing "material terms" and "binding contract exceptions." Nobody mentioned any names or explained any issues. No outsider could have understood what they were talking about. Indeed, no one could have heard them anyway -- both sides of the dialogue were inserted into the Congressional Record without ever having been spoken out loud.

G.O.P. Gets Mixed Reviews From Public Wary on Taxes

The public gives decidedly mixed reviews to the Republican Congress's first 100 days and is particularly skeptical about the leaders' ability to deliver both huge tax cuts and a balanced budget, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll. Despite the best efforts of the Republicans to publicize and promote what they call their legislative revolution, the survey suggested that much of the public remained largely disengaged. Only 38 percent said they had read or heard anything about the Contract With America, the Republican policy agenda that has driven the House in these first three months. Forty-seven percent said they were "mostly disappointed" with the first 100 days, compared with 39 percent who said they were pleased. And Mr. Gingrich's personal ratings remain remarkably negative.

A committee representing shareholders of the Leslie Fay Companies sued BDO Seidman yesterday, accusing the accounting firm of failing to uncover a huge accounting fraud at Leslie Fay. The lawsuit was filed in Federal Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. Leslie Fay filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors in April 1993 after revealing that company officials had doctored accounting entries to inflate pretax profits by $81 million from 1990 to 1992. BDO Seidman, the auditor for Leslie Fay until May 1993, called the suit "unjustified and hypocritical." The accounting firm denied allegations of professional negligence and recklessness, saying it had been misled by Leslie Fay employees.

WALL DATA SHARES PLUNGE ON EXPECTED LOSS

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The shares of Wall Data Inc. lost almost half their value in heavy trading after the software maker said it expected a first-quarter loss -- this would be instead of the big profit Wall Street was expecting -- because of lower-than-expected revenue in North America. In Nasdaq trading of more than 8.2 million shares yesterday, Wall Data shares closed down $19.75, or 47 percent, at $22. The company, based in Redmond, Wash., said it expected either to lose 2 cents a share or to break even. That would be far shy of the 24-cents-a-share profit expected by Wall Street. Wall Data software lets personal computers operating in a network exchange data with other types of computers, including mainframes and work stations.
