Man in the News; Rail Union's Hard Bargainer: Edward Yule Jr.
Date: 19 June 1994
By Peter Marks

In a 40-year career with the Long Island Rail Road that has taken him from lowly ticket clerk to unchallenged leader of the largest union for the nation's busiest commuter rail line, Edward Yule Jr. has always known how to find the inside track. It was a talent his friend of three decades, Bill McAllister, discovered about him on the first day they met, in the railroad's medical office in Jamaica, Queens, where both wound up one day in 1962. Mr. McAllister, freshly hired for the freight department, and Mr. Yule, newly transferred to the unit, were among nine employees scheduled for physicals that day. But only Mr. Yule knew that seniority in the unit would be dictated by the order in which the physicals were given.

Television, Meet Life. Life, Meet TV.

WHAT made the episode so real was its departure from television's professionally crafted reality. Fans of the so-called reality-based shows are accustomed to having the facts laid out for them, with the help of close-ups, music, re-enactments, whatever it takes. If there's a police chase, you know what to expect. Whether it ends in a shootout or a crash or a surrender, you can count on being in on every moment of it, in the best seat in the house, kissing distance of the perpetrator or protagonist. For about two hours on Friday night, we were really there, yet always at a considerable remove. The competing realities of other network programming disappeared, leaving us with the dreamlike reality of a car chase in slow motion. Instead of a chase, there was a stately procession along Los Angeles freeways: the white Bronco containing, we were told, O.J. Simpson, American icon and accused murderer, holding a gun, perhaps, or maybe it was only a cellular telephone, was followed at a careful distance by half a dozen police cars we could see and who knows how many in that other, off-camera reality. They were not moving very fast or doing anything daring.

New Yorkers express anxiety about the Police Department's ability to protect them, and many say there is widespread corruption in the force, according to a New York Times/WCBS-TV News Poll. The survey and follow-up interviews suggest a serious lack of confidence in the department because of a fear of crime and concern over revelations of corruption in several precincts.

The Press as Power Broker
Date: 18 June 1994

In political campaigns, paid advertisements are speech amplifiers -- the only practical way for candidates to speak directly to large numbers of voters. That is why the Supreme Court ruled, in Buckley v. Valeo (1976), that involuntary spending limits are an unconstitutional infringement of free speech. Now, in the name of campaign reform, the Senate and House have both passed "voluntary" spending limits for Congressional campaigns. But while they aim to equalize spending between candidates, these limits would distort the political process, creating a whole new set of power brokers -- including, perhaps not coincidentally, some of the loudest cheerleaders for the new spending limits: America's largest newspapers.

It was cold and rainy as the Normandy invasion started, and nothing was going as planned. As we hit the beaches, Helen Thomas was in the lead, charging off the aircraft carrier George Washington with toothbrush and tape recorder. Sam Donaldson provided air cover in a Chinook helicopter hovering over the English Channel. "General Hillary," as a British paper dubbed her, arrived on the field of battle with her hairdresser, Sylvan.

HELICOPTER DIVISION TO CUT WORK FORCE BY 2,200
Date: 18 June 1994
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Boeing Company's helicopter division said yesterday that it would cut its work force by a third over two years, in part because the Defense Department had delayed its order of Osprey helicopters. Boeing Helicopters, a division of the Boeing Defense and Space Group, will lay off 2,200 of its 6,800 workers by mid-1996. Deliveries of tandem rotor helicopters to the United States Army will be completed by January 1995, and with the delay of the Osprey pact the company said it must reduce its work force. The Opsrey, scheduled to begin production in 1996, was delayed until 1997 by the Defense Department, a company spokeswoman, Madelyn Bush, said. Boeing shares fell $1.50 yesterday, to $48.375, on the New York Stock Exchange.
