Edmund Andrews
The Federal Communications Commission is weighing a staff recommendation that would force Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation to reduce sharply its ownership stake in the stations that make up the core of the Fox television network. The recommendation, which if enacted could jolt Mr. Murdoch's media empire, was prepared by the agency's mass media bureau after months of investigation into whether the stations were foreign owned. It would require the News Corporation to reduce its stake in the eight television stations it now owns and also reduce its planned ownership stake in three other stations the company is in the process of acquiring.

THE BOSNIAN CALCULATION
Date: 23 April 1995

ALL TOLD, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN Bosnia? For news organizations and policy specialists, the easy answer is 200,000. As someone who has followed the conflict closely from the beginning in a professional capacity, I'm not convinced. Bosnia isn't the Holocaust or Rwanda; it's Lebanon. A relatively large number of white people have been killed in gruesome fashion in the first European blowup since World War II. In response, the United Nations has set up the first international war crimes trials since Nuremberg. But that doesn't mean the Bosnian Serbs' often brutal treatment of Bosnian Muslims is a unique genocide, as the United Nations and the Bosnian Muslims have charged.

COLUMBIA/HCA CLEARED ON TAKEOVER

The Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation's $3.3 billion acquisition of Healthtrust Inc. won antitrust clearance yesterday from the Federal Trade Commission, paving the way for the merger of the nation's two largest hospital chains on Monday. The agency will require the companies to sell seven hospitals in four states -- Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Utah. Without those divestitures, the F.T.C. said, the merger would have bolstered hospital prices and reduced services. The merger will create a health care giant with 320 hospitals in 36 states, and annual revenue of more than $15 billion. Columbia/HCA stock closed up $1.75, at $42, while Healthtrust shares advanced $1.875, to $37, on the Big Board.
