By Alex S. Jones

Representatives of The Daily News management and unions met yesterday to begin work on a reorganization that they hoped would cut the bankrupt newspaper's costs and let it keep operating. The two-hour meeting left both sides expressing confidence that the paper could be saved. "I am satisfied there is enough cash on hand or receivable to give us enough time to work out a solution to save The News," said Theodore W. Kheel, a union representative on the committee. The committee is scheduled to meet next Thursday, after an analysis of financial documents.

Robert Maxwell's Shell Game
Date: 12 December 1991
Robert Maxwell was hailed as a philanthropic savior when he bought New York's strike-torn, dispirited Daily News in March, just as he was when he revived London's languishing Daily Mirror in 1984. Now, sadly, both The News and The Mirror seem little more than pawns in a vast and duplicitous game that Mr. Maxwell was playing with other people's money. Mr. Maxwell deserves the blame for his financial shenanigans. But lax British regulation contributed; it's unlikely that he would have succeeded in a country with tough financial disclosure laws, like the U.S. And he almost certainly would not have succeeded without the complicity or inattentiveness of others, including the lenders who happily ignored his reputation as a financial rogue. All of them loved the color of Mr. Maxwell's money as long as he seemed to have plenty of it, and any fair and final reckoning will hold them to task as well.

The Art Market

Suspended: Journal of Art There seems to be a lot more activity in art publishing right now than in the art market itself. The biggest news is Rizzoli's announcement that it has suspended publication of The Journal of Art. It was not a gradual slowdown: At 4 P.M. the day before Thanksgiving, the entire staff was dismissed with a week's severance pay. "They told us they didn't need to give us the two weeks' pay we were entitled to because the journal had just suspended publication, not folded," said the circulation director, Helen Ryan. "Then, in the same breath, they told us to file for unemployment and to look for another job."

A Puerto Rican journalist has reached an agreement with Government prosecutors that allows her to stay out of prison and avoid surrendering the original videotapes of her interviews with two fugitives who are suspects in a robbery in Connecticut. The reporter, Daisy Sanchez, signed an affidavit yesterday affirming the veracity of the tapes after a judge had ruled that she did not have to surrender them. She had been subpoenaed and ordered to turn over tapes of four hours of interviews with two men linked to a militant Puerto Rican independence group who are suspects in the robbery of $7.1 million in 1983 from a Wells Fargo depot in West Hartford.

Times and Drivers Reach 9-Year No-Strike Accord
Date: 13 December 1991
By Alex S. Jones

The New York Times yesterday reached a settlement extending to the year 2000 with the union for its drivers. The paper's publisher expressed hope that the agreement would set a pattern for other union contracts and speed the opening of The Times's new printing plant in Edison, N.J., early next year. In the agreement, the Newspaper Mail and Deliverers' Union of New York and Vicinity effectively won job security and various financial incentives in exchange for concessions intended to reduce The Times's costs significantly, and for a pledge not to strike.

In Perpetual Candidacy, Duke Raises the Stakes

Like a traveling road show that folds its tent in one town and opens it in the next, the David Duke campaign is back, this time as an aside to Presidential politics. The question is whether Mr. Duke, whose disaffected blue-collar base is made up more of traditional Democrats than Republicans, can make much of an impact in primaries where the constituency and the rules may work against him.
