THE 1994 ELECTIONS: MAN IN THE NEWS -- John Grosvenor Rowland; Behind the Issues, a Yearning for Lost Innocence
Date: 09 November 1994
By George Judson

In his victory speech on primary night two months ago, John G. Rowland talked about the good old days in his hometown of Waterbury, a time not so long ago when children had the run of not just their neighborhoods, but the entire city. In his neighborhood, he recalled, he and his friends hopped a fence so often to cut across one family's yard that the father finally did something about it: he put a gate in the fence. "Now," Mr. Rowland said, "they'd probably call the police."

THE 1994 ELECTIONS: NEW YORK GOVERNOR MAN IN THE NEWS: George Elmer Pataki; Soft but Forceful Steps Lead to Paradoxical Victory in the Governor's Race
Date: 09 November 1994

James Dao
State Senator George E. Pataki, who was elected New York's 55th Governor last night, is almost a millionaire, yet he comes off as homespun and unpretentious: He says "gosh" a lot and is so forgetful of his appearance that on a recent campaign trip he mismatched one suit's blue jacket with another's gray trousers, and then had to change pants in a hotel alcove. He is a graduate of Yale College and Columbia Law School and can argue points like a Wall Street litigator, yet he cries at one of his favorite films, "Old Yeller," and carries a dollar signed for good luck by the late Lubavitcher Grand Rabbi, Menachem M. Schneerson.

The strike blocking deliveries of both of San Francisco's major daily newspapers has provided an unexpected but revealing test of electronic publishing.

Judge in the Simpson Case Eases Restrictions on Jurors

As lawyers began the task of selecting 15 alternates for the O. J. Simpson jury, Judge Lance A. Ito today told prospects -- as well as the 12 regular jurors, already chosen -- that they could now watch some television and, with caution, read newspapers. But even under his eased regime, only viewers of old movies, home shopping programs and wildlife chronicles are unrestricted. Any members of the jury pool venturing into other television fare must clutch their remote controls, fingers ever on "mute," to shield themselves from information about the case.

Through his foundations, Mr. Soros has worked to promote independence for newspapers and radio and television stations in countries accustomed to censorship.

Judge in Simpson Trial Allows TV Camera in Courtroom
Date: 08 November 1994

To the relief of millions of voyeurs, court buffs and civic-minded students of the criminal justice system, Judge Lance A. Ito ruled today that a single television camera can remain in his courtroom for the trial of O. J. Simpson. While some pretrial hearings could still conceivably be closed, continuous coverage of the eventual trial now seems all but certain. As Mr. Simpson sat nearby, intermittently attentive, Judge Ito spent much of the morning invoking the perils of television, including nervous witnesses, grandstanding lawyers and salacious sound bites. He repeatedly referred to the carnival-like televised trials a generation ago of Dr. Sam Sheppard on murder charges and Billie Sol Estes on charges of fraud. At his side were 21 boxes filled with more than 15,000 letters, most of which, he said, had urged him to pull the plug.

Buttoned grimly into a suit for his visit to America, the Russian nationalist Vladimir V. Zhirinovsky insisted that all those nasty things people said about him just were not true. He was not an anti-Semite, the head of the ultranationalist party that shocked American leaders by capturing the biggest share of parliamentary seats in elections last December told a somewhat incredulous audience of the World Affairs Council of Northern California Monday night.

BARNETT'S DEAL WITH GLENDALE FEDERAL IS APPROVED

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which regulates national banks, approved applications yesterday by four units of Barnett Banks Inc. to acquire 34 Florida branches of Glendale Federal Bank of Glendale, Calif. The approval came even though a Justice Department internal investigation found that two of Barnett's banking units had engaged in lending discrimination from 1991 to 1993. The bank is in settlement talks with the department, Deval Patrick, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, said yesterday. Barnett agreed in April to buy Glendale's Florida franchise, which includes $3.6 billion in deposits and 60 offices in 10 counties, for $243.5 million.

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The chairman of Mark Twain Bancshares Inc., Alvin J. Siteman, said yesterday that the banking company, based in St. Louis, had been contacted by several of the nation's largest banks interested in acquiring a bank in Missouri. "These are only introductory conversations," Mr. Siteman said at a banking conference in New York. He declined to name the banks that were interested. A new interstate banking law opens Missouri to banks nationwide starting next year. Previously, only banks in the eight surrounding states had been allowed to make acquisitions in Missouri. Shares of Mark Twain rose 75 cents, to $28.25, in Nasdaq trading yesterday.
