Bill Carter
All four network television news divisions voluntarily withheld information that American planes had taken off for an invasion of Haiti on Sunday night until the invasion had been called off and the Pentagon agreed the news could be broadcast, network news executives said yesterday. The executives emphasized that they acted out of concern for American troops. For the same reason, they said, no network correspondent informed Haitian officials that the invasion was under way.

'The Press Was Here,' But Not The Enemy

If there was a television moment that captured the spirit of the showdown in Haiti, it may have been one yesterday morning just after the first troops touched down at the airport in Port-au-Prince. They had arrived on 10 helicopters, a menacing phalanx in the sky reminiscent of "Apocalypse Now," and they hit the ground ready for combat: belly-down on the tarmac, rifles aimed in all directions. And then, within a few minutes, a soldier identified as Sgt. Damon Arnett was being asked on live television the quintessential post-game question: How did it feel out there?

Poll Gives Pataki His First Lead
Date: 20 September 1994
For the first time, a poll on the New York State governor's race shows the challenger, George E. Pataki, with a statistically significant lead, although a modest one. A Daily News / Harris Poll of 901 "probable" voters statewide, released yesterday, found a 10-point lead for Mr. Pataki, including voters who said they were undecided but leaning toward a candidate. Five percent of the voters said they were undecided with no leanings. Neither Mr. Pataki or Gov. Mario M. Cuomo showed a statistically significant lead in polls taken before last week's primary.

Henry Ford 2d was a blunt man. But on the subject of the decision that caused the greatest uproar during his last years running the Ford Motor Company -- his dismissal of Lee A. Iacocca in 1978 -- Mr. Ford mostly stayed mum. By contrast, Mr. Iacocca, who went on to success leading the Chrysler Corporation, in remarks to reporters and in a best-selling autobiography accused Mr. Ford of being everything from a "spoiled brat" to a racist to a drunk.

A prominent investor in America Online Inc., Paul Allen, sold his remaining stake in the company yesterday. "A key criterion of Mr. Allen is to work with companies that can contribute technologically to his other companies," said Susan Pierson, Mr. Allen's spokeswoman at Vulcan Northwest Inc., his investment vehicle. "The synergy hoped for wasn't realized with America Online." Mr. Allen's initial investment of about $30 million grew to about $130 million earlier this year.

By Bloomberg News

The stock of the Andrea Electronics Corporation soared 67 percent yesterday after the BellSouth Corporation said it would use Andrea's noise-reduction technology in its phones. Stock of Andrea, a Long Island telecommunications equipment manufacturer, rose $7.875, to $19.625 on the American Stock Exchange. The contract could be an indication that Andrea's technology, which many analysts have been dubious about, is being taken seriously by the regional Bell operating companies. That could spell big profits for Andrea. Officials at Andrea would not comment on the company's stock activity or its relationship with BellSouth. BellSouth declined to attach a value to the agreement.

PECO ENERGY SAYS 2,500 EMPLOYEES RETIRED EARLY
Date: 20 September 1994
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Peco Energy Company said yesterday that about 2,500 of its employees had opted for early retirement, exceeding the utility's goal of cutting 1,000 jobs this year. Peco said the cuts would result in a one-time charge to 1994 earnings and that the amount of the charge would be announced next week. In April, Peco, formerly the Philadelphia Electric Company, offered early retirement and separation packages to its 9,300 employees. At the time, the utility said the cuts could result in "a significant one-time charge." The cuts are the latest in a six-year effort to cut costs at Peco. Since 1986, the utility has reduced the number of employees from 11,300.
