JAN. 31-FEB. 6: Tabloid City; News Raids Post! Post Is Shocked! And So On!
Date: 07 February 1993

"It's War!" So thundered The New York Post last week in outrage over the body-snatching of its top editorial team by The Daily News, its archrival in the New York City tabloid punch-out. When the Post's editor and headline whiz, Lou Colasuonno, along with its managing editor and metropolitan editor and the columnist Mike McAlary bolted for The News, the Post's new buyer, Steven Hoffenberg, branded the new owner of The News, Mortimer B. Zuckerman, "a vulture" bent on "gunning down" the competition. Mr. Zuckerman, a real estate developer and magazine publisher, denied any malign intent and portrayed his recruiting as a tribute to The Post. To stem The Post's talent hemorrhage -- which by later in the week included a second columnist and a gossip writer -- Mr. Hoffenberg fired back with a lawsuit that disclosed that Mr. McAlary was already being paid $275,000 a year by The Post with a $25,000 raise in store, hardly a reason to quit.

"Everyone's asking," says Serby. And Serby isn't saying.

For Colson Dorme, a 26-year-old tape archivist at a local radio station here, a brief stint at street reporting may have proved the abortive ending to his dream of a career as a journalist, and perhaps to his life. Pressed into service on Monday to cover the arrival of a special United Nations envoy sent to Haiti to arrange the deployment of hundreds of foreign human rights monitors here, Mr. Dorme was last heard giving a distress call on the air as he was set upon by a crowd of Government supporters demonstrating against international efforts to restore democracy to this country.

Guided by polls, focus groups and a keen sense of pop culture, President Clinton is executing a plan to put a distinctive stamp on his Presidency instead of allowing others to define it for him. Rather than mount White House news conferences or rely solely on sober televised speeches, Mr. Clinton is attempting to forge a direct path -- by satellite and by jet aircraft -- into the minds of the Americans who are willing to give their President more time to prove himself.

Are Fallen Barons Victims of Their Press Clippings?

THE fall of one after another corporate chief -- Robert C. Stempel at General Motors, John F. Akers at I.B.M. and, a week ago, James D. Robinson 3d at American Express -- has prompted many writers to muster a royal procession of metaphors. These men were monarchs or kings, we are told, holding sway over vast domains at imperial salaries, until they were beheaded or toppled by coups. But who crowned them in the first place? Their boards and their corporate predecessors, true. But also the chummy publicists and the business press, whetting and then feeding the public's appetite for celebrity.

Federal court records in Manhattan show that Steven Hoffenberg, the prospective new publisher of The New York Post, knowingly used a confessed swindler to help him sell stock in his flagship company, the Towers Financial Corporation, in ways that violated Federal securities laws.
