NBC's announcement yesterday that BRIAN WILLIAMS, the former anchor of Channel 2 News in New York, would be elevated to the post of chief White House correspondent was a signal that he is a contender to become the next lead anchor at the network whenever the day comes that TOM BROKAW steps down. Mr. Brokaw filled the White House post before his anchor days. Mr. Williams, who has reported on the Middle East and South Africa for NBC in the past year, as well as serving as anchor of the Saturday broadcast of the "NBC Nightly News," joined NBC in March 1993. "Everyone perceives him as being groomed for bigger things," one NBC News executive said yesterday.

America is so loud it's hard to get far enough away to escape its din. Even Timbuktu may at this moment be colonized by Burger King tie-ins to "The Lion King." So on a vacation during which I hoped to purge my mind of all things Whitewater, Brentwood and Presley-Jackson -- but had scant expectation of actually doing so -- I was at first startled and then delighted to discover an America-free zone in a most unexpected place not all that far from home: England. Maybe England's aversion to hard American news reflects the triumph of Rupert Murdoch's scorched-earth campaign to strip journalism of anything that might resemble fact. Maybe it's because every British editor of any skill has already immigrated to New York to work for Conde Nast. Whatever the reason, it is now almost impossible to find cogent information about what's happening in the United States in even the upmarket London newspapers. For an American looking to get away from it all, even a week in urban England is tantamount to a month in the country. Without CNN.

Bloomberg News
The Compaq Computer Corporation will probably have slimmer gross margins through the remainder of the year, the company's treasurer said yesterday. Compaq's gross margin of 26.6 percent in the second quarter is probably unsustainable if the company wants to continue building market share, said David. J. Schempf, Compaq's corporate controller and treasurer. Compaq's goal is to maintain a gross margin of 23 percent to 25 percent of sales, he said. Mr. Schempf said the sales outlook was "very favorable" around the world. Compaq's stock closed at $35.50, up 12.5 cents, on the New York Stock Exchange, after trading at $36.75 shortly before Mr. Schremp's comments were reported.

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. said yesterday that it would begin buying back stock from holders who owned fewer than 100 shares as of Tuesday as part of an odd-lot repurchase program. The investment banking firm, which was spun off from the American Express Company in May, said the offer would expire on Oct. 11, although the offer might be extended. Lehman said it would repurchase the shares at a price equal to the average of the closing prices of its common stock in the five business days ending Oct. 11. A processing fee of 50 cents a share will be subtracted from the price. Lehman, based in New York, said odd-lot shareholders who elected to participate in the program would have to tender all their shares. The company's stock rose 62.5 cents yesterday, to $16.25, on the New York Stock Exchange.
