It seems hard to find a New York journalist who isn't lusting after a role in Ron Howard's movie "The Paper," which has been shooting in New York for the last two months. The film, which stars Glenn Close, Michael Keaton, Marisa Tomei, Robert Duvall and Randy Quaid, is set inside a fictional tabloid. So far, Pete Hamill, Jeannie Williams of USA Today, Kurt Loder of MTV, Bob Costas of NBC and Graydon Carter (right, bottom), the editor in chief of Vanity Fair, have all shot cameos. Mr. Carter's wife, Cynthia, got one, too.

Unshackle the Press in Slovakia
Date: 18 September 1993
In Slovakia, which split from the Czech Republic earlier this year, democracy is skin-deep and its party bosses thin-skinned. Even the slightest mention of a Slovak blemish in the local or foreign press inevitably provokes finger-wagging lectures from Prime Minister Vladimir Meciar and his deputies on the "responsibility" of the press or, when that seems too mild, accusations that a wicked press is out to crush the infant republic. The problem is not, of course, unique to Slovakia. A combination of governmental ham-handedness and near-zero understanding of an independent press has choked off free discussion in many former Communist states, including many of the recent breakaways from the former Soviet Union. But despite the country's highly literate population, Slovakia's politicians -- most of whom are recycled apparatchiks from the bad old days -- seem particularly uptight and hellbent on chilling even the mildest criticism.

JHM MORTGAGE FALLS 20% AS ITS DIVIDEND IS SLASHED
Date: 18 September 1993
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
Shares of JHM Mortgage Securities L.P. fell 20 percent yesterday on news that the company had slashed its quarterly dividend 48 percent and expects a loss for the third quarter. After the close of trading on Thursday, JHM, which invests in mortgage-related securities and assets, said it expected to write down the value of its mortgage servicing portfolio. JHM blamed the year-and-half-long drop in mortgage interest rates to record lows, which prompted a record number of homeowners to refinance and prepay their mortgages. As a result, JHM said, it expects to post a loss of between $4 million and $6 million for the third quarter. The company also said it had cut its quarterly dividend to 10 cents a unit from the 21 cents it paid for the previous two quarters. The units closed down $1.375, at $5.50, on the New York Stock Exchange.
