Here is how Newt Gingrich says someone can tell that a "revolution" is truly at hand. When he and Senator Bob Dole of Kansas had to leave an important meeting of Republicans on Friday, they left Representative Dick Armey and Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi in charge. Mr. Gingrich of Georgia, the next Speaker of the House, told this anecdote to a gathering of conservatives here, and the audience cheered wildly.

PRESTIGIOUS news organizations hate to become the story. So it was a rare exercise in contrition when The Washington Post ran a front-page article describing its own "deep embarrassment" at the way it had been dragged into the GATT debate. The Post, as the Nov. 25 article explained in extraordinary detail, had been caught violating its own rules. In September, the newspaper editorialized in favor of a pending bill to expand the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade without disclosing to readers that The Washington Post Company had a multimillion-dollar interest in seeing that the bill passed.

A lawyer for the former head of the White House travel office, Billy R. Dale, said today that he expected Federal prosecutors to seek an embezzlement indictment against Mr. Dale this week, charging him with stealing $69,000 in money paid by news organizations for Presidential trips. Steven C. Tabackman, Mr. Dale's lawyer, said his client would plead not guilty to the charges, which are likely to revive an embarrassing issue that created a furor when it erupted in May 1993, and left a powerful impression of White House bungling on ethical matters.

Restrain Those Prior Restraints
Date: 05 December 1994
It has been 23 years since the courts, responding to the most urgent pleas of the Federal Government, temporarily enjoined publication of the Pentagon Papers, a Vietnam War history. That temporary prior restraint on publication was thought necessary to let the Supreme Court examine the Government's dire warnings of peril to national security -- which the Court dismissed after inspecting the documents. That experience should have taught judges to deny out of hand virtually any request to restrain publication, even temporarily. Yet over the years judges, almost casually and on flimsy one-sided pleadings, often issue those restraints. Judge Peter Leisure of New York's Federal court acted in that silly tradition the other day, ordering a halt to the distribution of Penthouse magazine's January issue.

UNOCAL TO TAKE CHARGES OF UP TO $489 MILLION
Date: 06 December 1994
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Unocal Corporation said yesterday that it would take charges totaling as much as $489 million in the fourth quarter, mainly to write down United States oil and gas fields. The biggest part of the charges, $275 million, relate to a change in the way Unocal values its oil and gas properties. Under the new policy, Unocal said it would evaluate reserves on a field-by-field basis instead of the country-by-country method it previously used. The charge, about $445 million before taxes, reflects the write-down of producing properties in the United States whose estimated future cash flows are lower than their current book value. Unocal, based in Los Angeles, also expects to add from $93 million to $155 million to its provisions for environmental clean-up costs.
