Man in the News; New SUNY Chancellor: Thomas Alva Bartlett
Date: 05 October 1994
By Lawrence Van Gelder

As Thomas A. Bartlett recalls it, "it was a complete bolt out of the blue." There he was, one afternoon early in June, sitting contentedly in the Portland office of the University of Oregon. At 63, retiring after five years as Chancellor of the Oregon state university system, he was looking forward to assuming the mantle of chancellor emeritus, and leading a different sort of life. There was his cattle farm in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, and some projects connected with international education. Maybe even a book.

Man in the News: Fernando Henrique Cardoso; Brazil's Big Winner
Date: 05 October 1994
By James Brooke

Hooded, handcuffed and listening to friends' cries under torture, a leftist sociology professor facing interrogation one night 25 years ago thought his life might end at the hands of army intelligence agents. Indeed from 1964 to 1985, the years of Brazil's military dictatorship, he suffered exile, imprisonment, blacklisting and the bombing of his social research group. But today, voting returns and exit polls indicated that Brazilians had elected the professor, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, to be President by the widest popular margin since a retired army general was chosen to lead the nation in 1945.

A Report on Reporters in the World's Hot Spots
Date: 06 October 1994
By Janet Maslin

Taking its perfect title from the old spiritual song, Marcel Ophuls's engrossing new documentary "The Troubles We've Seen" calls attention to the missing phrase: "Nobody knows." No one besides journalists operating within the cauldron of a war zone really understands the occupational hazards of such work. But Mr. Ophuls, the contemplative documentary film maker whose specialty is plumbing the depths of unfathomable experience, has made it his business to try. Working on his usual vast canvas, Mr. Ophuls constructs another brave, enveloping inquiry into a compelling subject, reveling in the investigative process as he presents it imaginatively on screen. The topics here range from journalistic ethics to survival tactics to grace under pressure. And a leisurely four-hour running time lets Mr. Ophuls explore them in rambling, frequently surprising ways.

Deep Discontent With Cuomo Strengthens Pataki, Poll Shows
Date: 05 October 1994
By Kevin Sack

Five weeks before Election Day, Gov. Mario M. Cuomo and his Republican rival, State Senator George E. Pataki, are locked in a tight race because many New Yorkers are so disenchanted with the three-term incumbent that they are willing to support a challenger who remains largely unknown, according to a New York Times/WCBS-TV News Poll. The statewide telephone poll, taken between Sept. 29 and Oct. 2, shows a virtual dead heat, with Mr. Pataki holding a slim lead of 44 percent to 41 percent among registered voters. Twelve percent are undecided. The distance between Mr. Pataki and Mr. Cuomo is within the poll's margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points, meaning that either candidate could actually be ahead.
