Surrounded by inventory tags on their equipment, peppered by calls from well-wishers and in many cases laden with worries about future employment, the reporters and staff of the Financial News Network soldiered through their last day on the air yesterday. The 10-year-old cable news operation, aimed primarily at small investors, was merged last night into its rival, NBC's Consumer News and Business Channel. NBC acquired FNN after a tumultuous bidding war that ended last week when a Federal bankruptcy judge ruled that NBC's $154.3 million offer was better than a nominally higher bid from Dow Jones & Company. FNN was put up for sale last November. The network sought protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in March.

Why Blindfold the Camera?

Date: 22 May 1991

California is so eager to keep its executions off television that the state has shut out all the press, prompting two justifiable counterattacks. The ban has been challenged in Federal District Court in San Francisco by KQED, the public television station, and in the Legislature, with a bill that would permit filming of executions, though only with the condemned person's consent. These rapid responses reflect justifiable outrage. The state has sequestered an important, controversial government process without any compelling reason. That seems an abridgment of the First Amendment, one the courts and the Legislature would be wise to strike down.

Somewhere in the far west of China, nestled in the Himalayas, is a Shangri-La brimming with contentment and human rights -- or so say the Chinese newspapers these days. It is Tibet, although it does not entirely resemble the Tibet that Western visitors describe.
