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.

As Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani negotiates a budget with the City Council, a New York Times/WCBS-TV News Poll shows that a solid majority of New Yorkers supports his stance that the Police Department should be spared from the spending cuts that he is demanding of other agencies. Reflecting their belief that crime is by far the most pressing problem that the Mayor should concentrate on, two out of three of those polled said Mr. Giuliani should continue to insulate the Police Department from personnel cuts and other economies that critics in the Council and elsewhere have said would help close the city budget gap without gutting other agencies. Women were most adamant in their support for police spending.

Last weekend's fun was more intense than usual. First there was Sam Donaldson interviewing Paula Jones. Then the networks convicted O. J. Simpson of murder. Afterward we went to the movies and saw Jack Nicholson turn into a werewolf. Fun of this quality simply did not exist until now. It makes you realize how lucky we are, funwise, to be living in this day and age. Let me cannibalize my own family for material and tell you what my grandmother did for fun:

UAL SHAREHOLDERS SEEK TO BLOCK VOTE ON BUYOUT
Date: 22 June 1994
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."

DIGITAL CHANGES NAME OF A UNIT AS SOME SEE A SALE AHEAD

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Digital Equipment Corporation said yesterday that it was changing the name of its disk drive business to Avastor, a move some analysts viewed as preparing the unit for sale. The business is one of four that make up Digital Equipment's storage business group, which has been one of its stronger performers. Digital Equipment said in May that it planned to sell assets in an effort to return to profitability by the end of the year. The spokeswoman said a name change in advance of a sale "is the favorite rumor," but she declined to confirm that the business was for sale.
