The Duluth News-Tribune ran an article across the top of its front page in September about 50 local men who got together at a nearby resort to discuss ways they could help curb the rising incidence of domestic abuse, murder and fighting in schools here in northern Minnesota. It was a standard news article about a common enough occurrence -- local leaders working for the common good -- except for this: the gathering was organized by The News-Tribune, promoted in its news articles and partly paid for by the paper, and then reported on in its news pages.

In the three months since signing the Dayton peace accords, President Slobodan Milosevic has been promoting himself internationally as a guarantor of peace in the Balkans.

United States Bankruptcy Judge Tina Brozman threatened yesterday to liquidate the Leslie Fay Companies if it did not file a revised bankruptcy plan by April 17. Judge Brozman said she would consider converting the company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization case to a Chapter 7 liquidation or simply throw it out of bankruptcy court if the plan was not filed by the deadline. If the case is thrown out of court, creditors would then be free to divide the assets among themselves. The apparel company filed for bankruptcy protection from creditors in April 1993. Since then, Leslie Fay has struggled to reorganize. The most recent obstacle to its emergence from bankruptcy has been its inability to sell Sassco Fashions, its most profitable division.
