Controlled by an accounting firm, overseen by a group of creditors including ink and paper manufacturers, and still losing money, The Daily News appears to have about six weeks to turn itself into a viable business after the Maxwell debacle, industry experts and advisers to the paper say.

And in a fiercely competitive newspaper market like New York, some analysts believe the News's convoluted management group now has less chance than ever of developing a blueprint for survival before the money runs out. "There is no deep pocket to support further losses, so the difference between incoming and outgoing now has to be resolved very quickly," said John Morton, a newspaper investment analyst at Lynch, Jones & Ryan.

Sunday's edition of "Special Assignment," on CNN at 9 P.M., takes apart the record of the Agency for International Development. If Mark Feldstein's report is reasonably accurate, the agency, which distributes food, medicine and other help to the needy around the world, has been bilked by its own officials and employees. Gene Richardson, its assistant inspector general for investigations, says: "Our crime rate is essentially higher than virtually every other agency in the Government." Contractors have squeezed kickbacks out of programs to help feed Pakistan's poor. A deputy director went to prison for accepting nearly $100,000 in payoffs for awarding contracts to Honduras.
