Man in the News; New SUNY Chancellor: Thomas Alva Bartlett
Date: 05 October 1994
By Lawrence Van Gelder
Lawrence Gelder
As Thomas A. Bartlett recalls it, "it was a complete bolt out of the blue." There he was, one afternoon early in June, sitting contentedly in the Portland office of the University of Oregon. At 63, retiring after five years as Chancellor of the Oregon state university system, he was looking forward to assuming the mantle of chancellor emeritus, and leading a different sort of life. There was his cattle farm in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, and some projects connected with international education. Maybe even a book.

Man in the News: Fernando Henrique Cardoso; Brazil's Big Winner

Hooded, handcuffed and listening to friends' cries under torture, a leftist sociology professor facing interrogation one night 25 years ago thought his life might end at the hands of army intelligence agents. Indeed from 1964 to 1985, the years of Brazil's military dictatorship, he suffered exile, imprisonment, blacklisting and the bombing of his social research group. But today, voting returns and exit polls indicated that Brazilians had elected the professor, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, to be President by the widest popular margin since a retired army general was chosen to lead the nation in 1945.

Judge Lance A. Ito has proposed pulling the plug on all television and radio coverage of the O. J. Simpson trial, and has asked Court TV and lawyers for the electronic media to tell him why he should not. Judge Ito, in a terse notice dated Sept. 30, but released only this morning, gave two reasons for his trial balloon: the broadcast -- and re-broadcast -- by a local television station of what he has called false reports about DNA test results incriminating Mr. Simpson in the June 12 slaying of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald L. Goldman, and televised film footage showing the faces of prospective jurors.

Deep Discontent With Cuomo Strengthens Pataki, Poll Shows
Date: 05 October 1994
By Kevin Sack

Five weeks before Election Day, Gov. Mario M. Cuomo and his Republican rival, State Senator George E. Pataki, are locked in a tight race because many New Yorkers are so disenchanted with the three-term incumbent that they are willing to support a challenger who remains largely unknown, according to a New York Times/WCBS-TV News Poll. The statewide telephone poll, taken between Sept. 29 and Oct. 2, shows a virtual dead heat, with Mr. Pataki holding a slim lead of 44 percent to 41 percent among registered voters. Twelve percent are undecided. The distance between Mr. Pataki and Mr. Cuomo is within the poll's margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points, meaning that either candidate could actually be ahead.
