Gazans Get Own TV, Filtered By Arafat
Date: 12 February 1995
By Joel Greenberg

Most nights now at 8:30, Bakir Radwan and his family sit in their bare cinder-block house in the Shati refugee camp watching a novelty that has begun to reach many living rooms here: Palestinian television news. The Radwans, who installed a new antenna several weeks ago, watch with mixed emotions. They are proud to see Palestinian television, originating from Gaza, after decades of only Israeli and Arab state broadcasts. But they also know that their news is filtered by the Palestinian Authority, which controls programming.

Discussing the Budget: Zzzzzz-z-z-z

No, the national budget is no O. J. Simpson. Still, one might assume it has enough significance as a news story to sustain upscale interview programs. But like other economic matters, budgets give television the shakes. Everyone takes a shot at the subject, but it keeps confounding the pros. On Sunday, "Meet the Press" brought on two masters of Senate and tube: Robert Byrd, the West Virginia Democrat who is leading the resistance to a balanced-budget amendment, and Bob Dole of Kansas, the Majority Leader, to discuss "Balanced Budget: To Be or Not to Be?"

THE NATION: The Greatest O.J. Show on Earth; Searching for Thrills, the Cheaper the Better
Date: 12 February 1995

David Margolick
IT is a caravan of wooden trailers and satellite trucks, of gawkers and gewgaw merchants, and it moves like a circus from one high-profile, high Neilsen-rating tragedy to another. It specializes in criminal trials and has already been through William Kennedy Smith, the Menendez Brothers and the Bobbitts. Its latest stop is downtown Los Angeles, for what has become, quite literally, the Greatest Show on Earth. Opinion polls show that the public is sick of People v. Orenthal James Simpson. But in the electronic village that has popped up outside the Hall of Justice, opposite the courthouse in which Mr. Simpson sits, and extending to the Hollywood Freeway, one can make a different diagnosis: the sicknesses at work here are an insatiable hunger for titillation and a terminal case of voyeurism.

ZURICH INSURANCE REVISES HOME HOLDINGS BID
Date: 11 February 1995
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Zurich Insurance Company revised its agreement to take over Home Holdings, an ailing insurer, yesterday to increase protection for Home's investors and policyholders. The changes will provide at least $1 billion to back up Home Holdings policyholders, assure a 7.5 percent annual return on its investments and guarantee bond interest payments for two years. The changes are intended to placate Home's bondholders and policyholders who worry about being exposed to losses. The changes did not placate all critics. Max Holmes, a director at Salomon Brothers, noted that the greatest risk to bondholders was not in the next two years, when Zurich would guarantee interest payments, but rather in more distant years.

Goldman's 22% Loss in Capital

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
Goldman, Sachs & Company, the nation's biggest investment banking partnership, has disclosed in a regulatory filing that the capital of its 173 partners fell 22 percent in 1994 as earnings plunged and that about 40 senior executives, including its chairman, Stephen Friedman, had departed.
