In the wake of the coverage of O.J. Simpson's preliminary hearing by the three broadcast networks, CNN and Court TV -- legal reporting unprecedented in American history -- and the deluge of coverage of the Bronco chase, leaks and so much else remotely associated with the case, the issue of cameras in the courts has come under intense scrutiny.
As is the case in the handful of state court systems that do not yet allow cameras, what's worrisome about this otherwise healthy debate is that much of the opposition to cameras in the court has to do with revulsion against coverage outside the courtroom.

WOOLWORTH NEARLY HALVES ITS DIVIDEND
Date: 14 July 1994
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Woolworth Corporation cut its dividend nearly in half yesterday, in a move it said was designed to put more money into its retail chains. In cutting its quarterly payout to 15 cents a share from 29 cents, Woolworth brought its dividend down to its lowest level since 1987, but also brought it more in line with the dividend yields other retail companies have been offering their shareholders recently, analysts said. The dividend cut also reflects problems in Woolworth's core discount store business, and concern that its Foot Locker unit's growth has slowed, said Tobi Mason, an analyst at Spare, Tengler, Kaplan & Bichel. Woolworth shares slipped 37.5 cents, to $15.625, on the New York Stock Exchange. The new dividend will be paid on Sept. 1 to shareholders of record as of Aug. 1.

The Federal Communications Commission yesterday approved a $4.3 billion alliance between the MCI Communications Corporation and British Telecommunications P.L.C., moving the union one step closer to completion.

Officials at MCI, the No. 2 provider of United States long-distance services, expect to complete the deal by September. The MCI-British Telecom combination, first announced in June 1993, is just one of several global alliances that have recently emerged in the race to provide telecommunications services to multinational companies.

Goulds Pumps Inc. said yesterday that it had agreed to buy the outstanding shares of Pumpenfabrik Ernst Vogel G.m.b.H., an Austrian pump manufacturer with $60 million in 1993 sales. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Goulds Pumps, which recently said earnings would be below expectations because of a $2.5 million charge for a revamping and other costs, does not expect quick profits from this purchase, the corporate controller, Diana Kurty, said. The transaction "provides an entry into the Eastern European bloc countries," she said, adding that these areas are "the markets of opportunity." Pumpenfabrik, which employs about 600 people worldwide, has sales divisions in Germany, Hungary and Poland.
