THE STORM'S HAVOC: Television; New TV Outlet Wearily Takes A Starring Role
Date: 13 December 1992
By Clifford J. Levy

The storm that has pummeled the New York metropolitan region has given New York 1 News, the nascent 24-hour cable station, its first chance to play a role similar to that of CNN during the Persian Gulf War -- albeit on a local scale. In the station's chaotic newsroom at 460 West 42d Street in Manhattan, the mission was clear: churn the information. Give viewers updates about the weather, the traffic and the subways so they can slog their way through the city. Then update them again.

Huddled against the cold outside the Franklin County Agricultural Co-Op, his 18-wheeler loaded with pig innards, Todd Schuppert doesn't consider himself an expert on foreign affairs, but he knows exactly what he thinks about the decision to send American troops to Somalia. "I think it's a pretty doggone good idea," said Mr. Schuppert, a 31-year-old truck driver from Pekin, Ind. "You just have to turn on a television to see that those people need help, and no one else is going to help them but us."

When he announced in the House of Commons on Wednesday that the Prince and Princess of Wales were separating, Prime Minister John Major said in earnest tones and to roars of approval from his colleagues in Parliament that he hoped the news media would now afford the royal family some privacy. The next morning The Sun, a mass-circulation tabloid, devoted fully half of its 56 pages to the split, including a guide to potential new romantic partners for the estranged couple.

Juggling Jobs and the Deficit: Executives Doubtful
Date: 13 December 1992
By Louis Uchitelle
Louis Uchitelle
Many of America's senior executives say job creation is the Government's most important immediate task and the budget deficit the nation's most important economic problem. But foreshadowing what is almost certain to be a major economic conflict of Bill Clinton's Presidency, the executives say that the President-elect will not be able to address those two concerns simultaneously. Those views, on the eve of Mr. Clinton's economic summit in Little Rock, Ark., this week, surfaced in a New York Times/CBS News poll of 499 senior executives in early December and in follow-up interviews with a dozen of them. Both the poll results and the interviews revealed some enthusiasm for the new President. While 53 percent of the executives voted for George Bush, a whopping 71 percent said the President had not displayed as much concern for the economy as Clinton had during the campaign. And 81 percent said the Clinton election has increased consumer confidence and spending.

Pacific Telesis Plans to Split in Two
Date: 12 December 1992
By Anthony Ramirez
Anthony Ramirez
The Pacific Telesis Group, whose markets for telephone services are the largest in the country, said yesterday that its board had unanimously voted to split the huge California-based carrier into a $9 billion traditional-telephone company and a nearly $1 billion wireless-phone company. Since the breakup of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in 1984, the resulting seven regional Bell companies have each had two major divisions. One is the slow-growth monopoly business of providing local telephone service, in which profits are largely guaranteed by strict regulation. The other is the lightly regulated high-growth businesses that provide cellular telephone and other services, like electronic paging. Analysts say cellular, only slightly profitable now, will be highly lucrative soon. Raising Company Value A spinoff could raise the total value of Pacific Telesis's shares and free the company of strictures imposed by the A.T.& T. breakup accord, including those that ban "Baby Bells" like Telesis from the lucrative equipment-manufacturing market.
