At $10,000, Mum's the Word
Date: 22 June 1994
Anthony Mason and John Starks have sometimes gotten in trouble for things they have said. Today, they got in trouble for what they didn't say. Both Mason and Starks skipped today's interview session with the national news media and were fined $10,000 apiece by the National Basketball Association. The Knicks were fined $20,000 by the league for allowing the two players to miss the session. Both players arrived with the team at the Summit today, but while the rest of the team was being interviewed on the court, Starks and Mason simply waited in the closed Knicks' locker room for the interview session to end. When it did, reporters were cleared out of the arena, and Starks and Mason joined the Knicks for practice.

ALLIANT TECHSYSTEMS TAKES STEPS TO AVOID TAKEOVER
Date: 23 June 1994
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
Trying to stave off an attempt by a large investor to take control of its board, Alliant Techsystems Inc. said yesterday that it would try to make a "significant acquisition." The company, a munitions manufacturer based in Hopkins, Minn., said in a letter to stockholders that it would also consider a stock repurchase program and a cash dividend. Alliant said it believed an acquisition would be the smartest way to increase stockholder value. The company is challenging a proxy fight initiated earlier this month by Capstay Partners L.P., an investment group, and an affiliate, Gotham Capital III L.P. They are seeking to replace board members and then sell or spin off part of the company. Alliant Techsystems' shares were up 75 cents, at $29.25, on the New York Stock Exchange.

UAL SHAREHOLDERS SEEK TO BLOCK VOTE ON BUYOUT

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
Shareholders of the UAL Corporation filed a motion yesterday to block a July 12 vote by shareholders on an employee buyout of the parent of United Airlines. The motion for a preliminary injunction, filed in Delaware Chancery Court, says UAL failed to adequately tell shareholders of opposition to the plan from some directors and union members. The motion also contends that it is unfair to ask shareholders to vote before UAL completes two bond offerings and a preferred stock offering on which the plan hinges. In a letter to the court, a UAL lawyer called the motion "baseless" and wrote that a delay of the vote would cause UAL and its stockholders "potentially irreparable harm."
