The prospective new publisher of The New York Post told about 100 applauding but chary newsroom employees late yesterday that he would restore half of the 20 percent pay cut they agreed to last week as soon as he receives the required permission of the Federal Bankruptcy Court. Steven Hoffenberg, the chairman of the Towers Financial Corporation, who has signed a letter of intent to purchase The Post and has put up a $2.5 million line of credit to back it up, said a 10 percent restoration would cost The Post about $75,000 a week at a time when its financial condition is regarded as extremely precarious.

The world was now at the perfection of chaos. The little godfathers who controlled everything raided the food brought for us. They raided the airlifts and the relief aid and distributed most of the food among themselves and members of their clan.
