By Richard Perez-Pena
Richard Perez-Pena
The prospective buyer of The New York Post was accused yesterday by a former Post employee of being prejudiced against blacks and homosexuals. The accusation prompted an angry denial from the buyer, Steven Hoffenberg, who called the allegations "outrageous, disgusting lies." The accusations against Mr. Hoffenberg came from Mike McAlary, a former Post columnist now working for The Daily News, as he testified in State Supreme Court in Manhattan in a suit brought by the Post, which is seeking a court order to bar the columnist and other former Post employees from working for The News.

NEW YORK CITY BATTLE RAGES OVER FERNANDEZ With the fate of Schools Chancellor Fernandez hanging in the balance, his supporters and opponents waged a last-minute campaign through public demonstrations and private persuasion to influence votes on the Board of Education. A1. DINKINS CRITICIZES STEIN ON MAILING Mayor Dinkins criticized City Council President Stein after Mr. Stein acknowledged that his campaign organization had mailed an anonymous pamphlet to gay-rights advocates attacking the Mayor's record. Mr. Dinkins asserted that when the two men ran against each other for Manhattan Borough President in 1981, Mr. Stein also sent out campaign literature without his name attached to it. Mr. Stein defended his actions in both cases. B3. TRUMP TOWER, TIFFANY'S AND BUGS BUNNY The long-vacant fourth corner of New York's retail epicenter -- Fifth Avenue and 57th Street -- has been leased to an incongruous newcomer: the Warner Bros. Studio Store, which will brim with Tweety Bird sequined jackets, Daffy Duck golf balls and other products. B3. POST SUITOR'S FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENT If S.E.C. allegations are true, Towers Financial, whose chairman wants to take over The New York Post, may resemble a classic Ponzi scheme, in which initial investors are paid with the proceeds from subsequent investors. Business Day, page D8. Prospective Post owner accused by former employee of being prejudiced. B4. Letterman producers say they will stay in New York if some questions can be resolved. C15. REGION SURVIVAL IN CONNECTICUT Connecticut is home to an estimated 1,800 to 3,100 military contractors and subcontractors, and all are struggling to figure out how to survive the end of the cold war. Many will shrink; some will disappear, unable to find a new niche. Dozens have already perished. Every company has its own strategy for survival. B6. HARSH WORDS IN GLEN RIDGE CASE A defense lawyer sharply criticized the mother of the mildly retarded woman at the center of the Glen Ridge sex assault trial, contending that she was partly to blame for the sexual encounter that led to the trial of four former high school football players. B8. FLORIO'S AGENDA, BUDGET AND OTHERWISE In a year in which both he and all 120 members of the State Legislature face re-election, Governor Florio used much of his annual budget address to trumpet the successes of his first term in office and to set the platform on which he is expected to seek a second term. B8. COURT TO HEAR ROOSEVELT RACEWAY CASE After almost six years of controversy, a Federal court will hear claims that the owners of Roosevelt Raceway engaged in fraud when they obtained tax-free bonds to buy the property.

By Diana B. Henriques
Diana
The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil suit yesterday accusing the New York-based Towers Financial Corporation and its chairman, Steven Hoffenberg, of operating a fraud that used false financial statements to sell more than $400 million in securities. The accusation appears to raise serious doubts about Mr. Hoffenberg's bid to purchase The New York Post, calling into question whether he will be considered a viable buyer of the nation's oldest daily newspaper, although he said yesterday that he planned to proceed.

Steven Hoffenberg said yesterday that he signed a contract over the weekend to buy The New York Post and that the Securities and Exchange Commission suit against him would not stop him from becoming The Post's new owner. Although the S.E.C. sought a freeze of Mr. Hoffenberg's personal and business assets, the Federal judge hearing that case yesterday refused to order the freeze immediately and scheduled a hearing for Feb. 24. Mr. Hoffenberg could complete his purchase of the newspaper before the court considers the freeze request.

COMPANY NEWS: Hiding Places for Drugs; Why Coke in Cans Annoys Coca-Cola
Date: 10 February 1993
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
At first blush, one would think the Coca-Cola Company would be flattered to have a likeness of its soft-drink cans used as a shell for a small safe. After all, Coca-Cola is widely regarded as the world's most valuable brand, and its stock is generally considered a safe bet. But the soft drink giant has taken exception to a California company that turns Coke cans into safes, because many consumers apparently use them to hide illegal drugs. The Atlanta-based beverage giant has charged California Safe, based in Van Nuys, Calif., with seven counts of trademark infringement in a suit filed in United States District Court here.
