Journal; David Brock's Women
Date: 06 January 1994
By Frank Rich
Frank Rich
To his fans, David Brock, the writer who ruined the Clintons' Christmas, is a hard-hitting investigative reporter. To everyone else, he is a smear artist with a right-wing agenda. But a reading of Mr. Brock's oeuvre in the conservative journal The American Spectator suggests that his motives are at least as twisted as his facts. It's women, not liberals, who really get him going. The slightest sighting of female sexuality whips him into a frenzy of misogynist zeal. All women are the same to Mr. Brock: terrifying, gutter-tongued sexual omnivores. Such caricatures are a staple of his latest expose and its predecessors, including the article that spawned his book "The Real Anita Hill."

F.T.C. ORDERS DONNELLEY TO DIVEST UNIT
Date: 06 January 1994

The Federal Trade Commission yesterday ordered R. R. Donnelley & Sons to divest itself of a printer it acquired because, it said, the transaction "substantially lessens" competition in a specialty printing market. Any new buyer of the unit, the Meredith-Burda Company, must be approved by the F.T.C. to insure that the purchase would not squelch competition, an administrative law judge said. Donnelley, based in Chicago, said it would fight the ruling by appealing to the full commission and, if necessary, to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
