Metropolitan Life Meeting Investigated
Date: 14 January 1994
By Michael Quint
Michael Quint
The president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company said yesterday that he attended a meeting where the company's lawyers and its leading salesman argued over the approval process for sales letters used to solicit customers about six weeks before Florida officials said some of those letters were misleading and deceptive. In response to the Florida allegations, Metropolitan Life began its own investigation, which led to the dismissal at the end of last year of seven employees, the highest ranking being a senior vice president. Ted Athanassiades, Metropolitan's president and the company's No. 2 executive, was not among the executives disciplined for involvement in improperly selling insurance policies across the country through the Tampa office.

In a hands-on demonstration of the "information superhighway" technology he has been promoting, Vice President Al Gore conducted the first computer-based news conference from the White House tonight. He made history and only a few typographical errors. Mr. Gore, appearing comfortable at the computer keyboard and displaying more than a passing acquaintance with the electronic realm known as cyberspace, spent 45 minutes reading and responding to typed questions that scrolled down his screen from unseen questioners from California to France. Real-Life Questions The questioners were not journalists. And with the exception of a single question on the strife in Bosnia, all the questions concerned the Administration's proposed "national information infrastructure" and its possible effects on people's everyday lives.

Steve Carlton was talking yesterday, finally talking at length after all those years of silence that he intertwined with precise pitching, and he might as well have been a battery-operated toy. Push a button, hear him speak. Push another button and hear some more. Carlton's batteries were charged, for him anyway. One day after being voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, Carlton unveiled the voice that was rarely heard by reporters while he performed as the finest left-hander of his era for the Philadelphia Phillies. He exercised his vocal cords for 45 minutes and smoothly answered questions from some of the same reporters he once shunned.

CONDITIONAL APPROVAL WITHDRAWN FOR UTILITIES' MERGER
Date: 13 January 1994
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
Saying statements made by the companies were inaccurate, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission yesterday withdrew its conditional approval of a $1.6 billion merger between the Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company and PSI Resources Inc. The commission said its decision came after the two utilities reversed themselves on a key point. According to the commission, before it gave tentative approval in August, the companies said the regulatory commissions in the affected states -- Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio -- would have the right to rule on the proposal. Subsequently, however, the utilities informed the Federal commission that the proposal did not require approval from the states. The case will now move to a settlement judge, who will try to broker an agreement within 60 days.
