Faced with a flurry of criticism from news organizations, Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani yesterday reaffirmed his commissioners' right to exclude individual reporters from group news briefings if their coverage was deemed too critical. The controversy began May 9, when a police reporter for The Daily News, John G.

The shares of the Zoltek Companies rose 9 percent yesterday after the company said it would split its stock for the second time in a year.
