Teaching Mr. Murdoch
Date: 31 March 1993
It worked. The staff of The New York Post wouldn't give in to the wacky self-aggrandizement of Abraham Hirschfeld and the divisiveness of Wilbert Tatum.

"There's nothing certain. The waiver is not certain. The deal with the union is not certain. If we did not think everything was achievable, we would not have gotten into this position, but we have a lot of work ahead of us in the next 60 days."
