ABC News confirmed plans yesterday to lay off 80 to 100 employees and to close down two bureaus while scaling back several others. The reductions are a result of a four-month internal study by the news division to find ways to cut costs in the wake of the huge expenditures caused by the coverage of the Persian Gulf war. CBS News has cut more than 100 employees, and NBC News is slowly paring staff, though its layoffs should fall well short of 100.

Last month, a bank foreclosed on them, forcing the Bernaths to give up their 54 acres and move to the city. What brought them down, they say, was the most unlikely of storms. The Bernaths awoke one morning two years ago to hear that apples, the very embodiment of healthy food, were being called potentially cancerous if sprayed with Alar, a chemical that regulates growth.

Neuharth -- the founder of USA Today -- is poised for a return to the limelight as chairman of the Freedom Forum, the flashy new incarnation of what had been the Gannett Foundation. In June, the Gannett Foundation sold its only asset -- a 10 percent stake in the Gannett Company -- back to the company for $670 million and threw in the name "Gannett Foundation" as part of the deal. On Thursday, the old Gannett Foundation became the Freedom Forum, with a very new orientation and an annual budget of roughly $35 million.
