Perelman lingered after dinner on the outdoor deck of the investment banker Herbert Allen's home in Sun Valley, Idaho. Mr. Perelman had wanted to sell his company, New World Communications with its 10 television stations, to Mr. Murdoch for months, but the two had haggled over price.

When a pipe bomb shattered the peace yesterday morning, Mark McKay of CNN was walking through Centennial Olympic Park from the network's headquarters. He heard a blast from the AT&T Global Olympic Village that "shook me from head to toe." He ran to the adjacent Nike Park, where CNN has a studio during the Olympics, and was on the air in minutes, at 1:30 A.M., reporting a "loud, concussive explosion." Chris Meyers of ESPN was on the roof of the Chamber of Commerce building that overlooks the park, taping a boxing report for the 2 A.M. "SportsCenter," when he heard a "thunderous boom." ESPN's truck shook with the blast. Sirens wailed. "I said to my producer, 'Let's get pictures and we'll have to break in to the network,' " Meyers said. ESPN was on the air about 30 seconds after CNN, replaying the sound of the explosion.
