A seemingly innocuous poem appeared in The People's Daily in Beijing on March 20. The poem has become a cause celebre, for in it was a diagonal acrostic that read, literally, "Li Peng step down; mollify the people's anger."
The author is believed to be a Chinese student studying in the U.S. The editor responsible for publishing the poem reportedly was arrested on April 12.

Faced with criticism that he spends too much time on tennis courts and not enough on city business, Mayor David N. Dinkins spent time on a tennis court yesterday and made sure everyone knew it. The occasion was in fact a serious one. The parents of Brian Watkins, the 22-year-old Utah tourist slain last year, returned to New York yesterday for the dedication of a tennis center named in honor of their son. He was stabbed to death in a Manhattan subway station on Sept. 2 as he defended his mother during a mugging.

In the halls and aisles of this year's Leipzig Book Fair, publishers and booksellers discuss soaring prices and collapsing markets and readers flocking to once-forbidden foreign authors and new media, like video. Under Communism, it was said that the newspapers printed fiction, so people sought the truth in books. Now that is reversing, so while newspapers flourish, book publishing is caught in crisis. "Who's reading these days?" sighed Krystyna Szmeja, senior editor at Krajowa Agencja Wydawnicza of Poland, as the annual book fair opened on April 24.

TV News of the Poor Often Has a Black Face
Date: 30 April 1991
To the Editor: "More often than not," Ishmael Reed writes of television network news in "Tuning Out Network Bias" (Op-Ed, April 9), "they associate black and Hispanic people exclusively with drugs, crime, unwed parenthood, welfare, homelessness, child abuse and rape, although the majority of the people involved in these circumstances are white." I am sympathetic to his concerns about how minorities are portrayed, but I object to his inaccuracies concerning ABC News and take great offense at the illustration for his article. I am a reporter for "American Agenda," a feature of ABC World News Tonight, as well as founder of the minority advisory board at ABC. It is true that African-Americans are disproportionately associated with "underclass" (a word we never use) activities on "American Agenda," because unfortunately blacks are disproportionately poor.

I.B.M. Forecast
Date: 30 April 1991
AP
Business prospects for the International Business Machines Corporation will remain weak for the remainder of the year, the computer maker's chairman told shareholders at the company's annual meeting today. "While we'd like to believe economic recovery is just around the corner, we'll have to wait and see," John F. Akers said. "We have seen no evidence yet to indicate any improvement in the near term, and consequently the year remains uncertain." The company had reported a first-quarter loss of $1.73 billion, largely because of an accounting change. Wall Street reacted negatively to Mr. Akers's comments. I.B.M.'s stock fell $2.25 a share on the New York Stock Exchange to close at $104.875.
