Jeff Zucker, the 27-year-old producer of both NBC's "Today" program and the "NBC Nightly News," plans to give up the nightly news broadcast, NBC News officials said yesterday. "It's kind of impossible even for Jeff Zucker to have two full-time jobs," one NBC News executive said yesterday, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

The Post Bites Back

Date: 17 March 1993

"Rage, rage against the dying of the light," Dylan Thomas advised, and reporters and editors of The New York Post have taken the poet at his word. Hemorrhaging red ink and on the brink of extinction, The Post hit the streets yesterday with a pungent, brassy issue that illustrated just what the city would lose if the paper shuts down. The front page bore the likeness of The Post's founder, Alexander Hamilton, in tears. Within were a dozen pages of scalding stories on the paper's newest stewards, the real estate magnate Abraham Hirschfeld and his co-publisher, Wilbert A. Tatum, who controls Harlem's Amsterdam News.

In a perfect marriage of style and content, the first issue of The New York Post published by Abe Hirschfeld lambasted its would-be owner with the kind of rank insults and denigrating vitriol that are usually his stock in trade.

(When it's bad for business, he often sues.)

The employees of The New York Post essentially took over the newspaper yesterday, ignoring the would-be publisher, Abraham Hirschfeld, as virtually all of the managers he laid off on Monday returned to work without any authorization from him. After yesterday's extraordinary issue of The Post, which called Mr. Hirschfeld a "nut" and a "screwball," Pete Hamill, the editor in chief he dismissed on Friday, returned and took control of the newsroom, where reporters and editors worked on a more usual issue today.
