An article on Oct. 24 about The National Enquirer's coverage of the O. J. Simpson case compared that tabloid's performance with those of several mainstream television stations, newspapers and magazines. It cited false reports or missteps by some of those organizations. As one example, the article reported that The New Yorker magazine, in the July 25 issue, speculated that a Los Angeles police detective, Mark Fuhrman, planted a bloody glove at Mr. Simpson's estate.

Fuss Over Photos of Mitterrand's Other Child

Breaking a French taboo on press revelations about the private lives of public figures, Paris-Match magazine published photographs today of a young woman whom it described as President Francois Mitterrand's daughter, who was born out of wedlock. The magazine's decision promptly set off a stormy debate, but not about Mr. Mitterrand's morals. Rather, Paris-Match was roundly criticized by French politicians and journalists for dragging the French press toward the muck-raking practices of British and American tabloids.

Strike Prevents Delivery of San Francisco Daily Newspapers

Employees of this city's two major daily newspapers, longtime rivals that have limped along under a joint operating agreement since 1965, went on strike Tuesday night as 2,600 reporters, editors, drivers, press operators and paper handlers walked off the job. They had been working without a contract for the past year. The work stoppage at The Chronicle and The Examiner, the first at the newspapers since a 52-day walkout in 1968, began a day after the original Halloween strike deadline set by eight unions had been extended for a flurry of last-minute negotiations. But the talks failed, and while hundreds of thousands of papers for Wednesday were printed, few if any reached readers' hands.

Rowland Is Ousted At Lonrho
Date: 04 November 1994

Bloomberg News
LONDON, Nov. 3 Roland W. (Tiny) Rowland, the public face of Lonrho P.L.C. for more than three decades, has been ousted as joint chief executive, signaling the end of a struggle for control of the company with Dieter Bock, its joint chief executive. The company said today that it had asked Mr. Rowland to retire. "It was the collective opinion of the board of Lonrho and seen as necessary for the company," a spokesman, Anthony Cardew, said. - Mr. Rowland, 77, built a sleepy Rhodesian mining and ranching company into a London-based conglomerate with broad international interests in mining, property, agriculture and hotels. He gained renewed prominence in 1985 with a failed attempt to buy Harrods in London. The announcement today follows a well-publicized power struggle between Mr. Rowland and Mr. Bock, a German developer who was hand-picked by Mr. Rowland to join the board. "I'm quite surprised at the news," said Charles Pick, a financial analyst at Panmure Gordon & Company. He said that financial analysts in London thought "that the company will become a more normal company solely under Bock." Lonrho said Mr. Rowland would resign as joint chief executive and managing director at the end of the year and would continue as a nonexecutive director until the company's annual meeting in March, when shareholders will be asked to approve his appointment to the honorary role of president. He will continue to receive his current salary and benefits until Dec. 31, 1995. Analysts said the recent changes at the diversified conglomerate, which was known for its penchant for secrecy under Mr. Rowland, were inevitable. In January, at the company's first board room meeting in 25 years, Mr. Bock said he planned to sell some of the company's 700 businesses while buying other operations to strengthen the company's already extensive interests in Africa. Lonrho has since been streamlined and has disposed of a number of businesses, including its 50 percent stake in the trading group Krupp Lonrho G.m.b.H. and The Observer newspaper. In the six months that ended on March 31, Lonrho earned $:41 million, or about $63 million. Although his nickname is Tiny, Mr. Rowland is more than 6 feet tall. He has been one of the most flamboyant figures in the business world. Over the years he built an empire -- mostly in Africa -- of gold, platinum and coal mines, and sugar, cotton and tea plantations. In 1973, he defeated an effort to oust him, a battle that prompted Prime Minister Edward Heath to call Mr. Rowland "the unpleasant and unacceptable face of capitalism." COMPANY NEWS

RELIANCE BOARD LEAVES BID TO SHAREHOLDERS

The board of the Reliance Electric Company refused yesterday to either recommend or reject a $1.5 billion tender offer from the Rockwell International Corporation, leaving the decision to shareholders. Reliance's board determined "that it is unable to take a position with respect to the offer and is making no recommendation," the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On Oct. 20, Rockwell made a hostile offer to acquire Reliance Electric, which is based in Cleveland, for $30 a share in cash. Reliance had already agreed to merge with the General Signal Corporation for $27 a share in stock. Despite its refusal to take sides officially, Reliance said in the filing, "the board believes its continued support of the proposed Reliance-General Signal merger remains in the best interests of the company and its stockholders."
