Date: 06 October 1993
By Stuart Elliott
Stuart Elliott
THE Turner Broadcasting System considered, but rejected, plans to run commercials that resemble segments of news interview programs on its CNN and Headline News cable television networks. Since CNN began operations in 1980, followed by Headline News a year later, Turner's policies have prohibited carrying sales pitches that imitate programming. The rationale was that viewers might be confused because such paid messages could blur the line between news content and advertising.

With the Parliament building still smoldering and ringed with armor, President Boris N. Yeltsin moved today to concentrate power in his office and to shatter any possible opposition. Two weeks after he first opened his all-out campaign against what he called his "irreconcilable opposition," Mr. Yeltsin and his lieutenants seemed determined not to repeat what they perceived as their major faults in the past two years -- their failure to cash in on political triumphs and their agreeing to illusory compromises with the opposition.

In a bitter rematch between two well-known contenders, the electorate is strikingly unenthusiastic about both. Just 38 percent of voters expressed a favorable opinion of the Democratic Mayor, while a scant 31 percent had a favorable view of his Republican-Liberal challenger. About as many voters viewed each candidate unfavorably as viewed him favorably.
