Daily News And Columnist Differ and Split

Earl Caldwell and The Daily News, for which he has written a column for 15 years, have apparently parted ways over the refusal of the newspaper to publish an op-ed page column he wrote last week on a long investigation of allegations that a Queens police officer had raped five or more livery van drivers. Mr. Caldwell said yesterday that he was dismissed Tuesday by Arthur Browne, editor of the editorial page, in a heated dispute over the column, which named the officer and said he was "still on the job" despite an inquiry more than a year old. The column said the victims were black and quoted a lawyer and a minister as saying they suspected a racially motivated police coverup in the case.

IT is, of course, impossible these days to get together with news people without having it come up. And, of course, it came up here last week as the editors of hundreds of the country's biggest newspapers met for the annual convention of the American Society of Newspaper Editors.

Topics of The Times; Listening Critically
Date: 18 April 1994
We have all heard about those characters who stroll into police departments and confess to any crime that has not already been claimed. Editors are a little like that when they get together. At least they have a tendency to listen politely to any bill of particulars. Self-criticism and confession are healthy antidotes to journalistic hubris and the only acceptable response to error. That said, a decent respect for accuracy and reason demand correction of the speeches that Lani Guinier and Adm. Bobby Ray Inman made to the American Society of Newspaper Editors last Wednesday.

Correction
Date: 17 April 1994
An article last Sunday about the Whitewater affair and the Washington press corps misstated President Gerald R. Ford's term of office. He was President for two and a half years, not one year. The article also misstated the experience of Daniel Schorr, the former CBS newsman, during the Watergate period. There is no evidence that Henry Kissinger wanted to tap Mr. Schorr's telephone.

Ask anyone who has spent much time around the corridors of City Hall and he is likely to attest that it is not the corridors, but the steps, that are the most memorable place in New York City government. Leland T. Jones, who was a spokesman for Mayors David N. Dinkins and Edward I. Koch, remembers the time a group of ministers paraded to the steps of City Hall chanting and "performing some sort of exorcism."

Wall Street; Is an End in Sight for Casinos' Losing Streak?

GAMBLING on gambling has been pretty much a bust in 1994, with many investors rolling snake eyes. The most recent bad news for certain stocks in the group came on April 6, when Missouri voters rejected a proposal to allow slot machines and other gambling games on riverboats. That helped knock five points off shares of the Promus Companies, which would have benefited had voters said yes. President Riverboat Casinos also had a bad day, with shares plummeting $5.375, to $12.50, on news of the vote. But there was already reason to dump gaming shares, says Steve Leuthold of the Leuthold Group, a securities research outfit in Minneapolis. "There is a point of saturation here," he said, referring to the frenetic spree of building new casinos. Mr. Leuthold says he has been shorting the casino stocks -- betting on price declines -- since January.
