Turner takeover bid by Andy Rooney for CBS proposed
Andy Rooney blasts Ted Turner and FCC approval attempt to seize CBS using junk bonds. He lists odd assets including a 1977 Ford wagon and a Tiffany watch, offers Turner Wussler’s CBS office, a global restaurant menu collection, and proxy voting rights for CBS stock to sweeten a takeover. He also notes plans to find a new CBS Evening News anchor if Turner prevails.

North Korea worries officials with use of choppers
U.S. Customs traced an illegal sale of Hughes helicopters to North Korea via a West German firm. Between 1983 and 1984, 15 choppers moved from Los Angeles to Antwerp Rotterdam Hong Kong and finally to North Korea aboard the Soviet ship K H Provokov. Intelligence flaws allowed the diversion without timely Defense or Commerce action. The piece notes potential DMZ confusion and political reshuffling over arms control with Sen. Jesse Helms and Sen. Richard Lugar amid Israeli aid debate.
