Man in the News; A Rescuer Steeped in Washington's Ways: Lloyd Norton Cutler
Date: 09 March 1994
By Neil A. Lewis
Neil Lewis
Lloyd N. Cutler, who was named today by President Clinton to be the new special counsel to the President, has been asked to come to the rescue in much the same manner before. Mr. Cutler, regarded as among the most seasoned of Washington's lawyers who operate at the intersection of politics and policy, was recruited as President Jimmy Carter's White House counsel in 1979 to replace a longtime associate of the President's family. That lawyer, Robert J. Lipshutz, was judged to be insufficiently steeped in the ways of Washington to help the President cope with a flood of politically tinged legal issues.

KMART'S CREDIT RATINGS ARE LOWERED BY MOODY'S
Date: 09 March 1994
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
Moody's Investors Service Inc. said yesterday that it had lowered its ratings on the Kmart Corporation's commercial paper and debt because more competition will make it hard for Kmart, the nation's No. 2 retailer, to improve its performance quickly. The move affects $6.7 billion of debt. A lower credit rating usually increases a company's borrowing costs when it borrows money in the bond market because investors demand higher yields to compensate for added risk. Moody's lowered the rating on Kmart's unsecured debt and medium term notes to "A3" from "A2," and preferred stock to "Baa1" from "A3." The rating on commercial paper was lowered to "Prime-2" from "Prime-1." Standard & Poor's, the other big credit rating company, said in January that it might lower ratings on Kmart bonds from "A." Kmart is based in Troy, Mich.
