These letters piled here denounce me as an elitist. My humility makes them hard to answer. They are all written in such -- well, such an elitist tone. Annoyed by some half-baked opinion voiced in this column, or irritated by some idle criticism of their favorite novelist or sitcom, their writers mount the high epistolary bench to condemn me as an elitist, hence unfit to address the common man.

BACK in the 1890's, a New York newspaper discovered a way to add a splash of color to the comics by using yellow ink, and so the "yellow press" was born. But the term came to stand for more than just a printing gimmick; it was used to describe a sensationalistic journalistic style of screaming headlines and slashing articles, in which the press claimed the role of defender of the public against evil. You could say this for yellow journalism: it sure sold newspapers. The circulation of some big-city papers soared into the hundreds of thousands. So it was inevitable that local papers outside the big cities adopted the same crusading tone of voice, although not the yellow ink.

Eli Lilly & Company said yesterday that it had completed the acquisition of all remaining shares of the Sphinx Pharmaceuticals Corporation for $6 each, or about $72 million. Lilly expects to record a charge of about $60 million, or 14 cents a share, against third-quarter earnings in connection with the acquisitin. Lilly, an Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical company, owned 680,000 Sphinx shares, or about 5.4 percent of its 12.6 million shares outstanding, before the acquisition. Lilly acquired its Sphinx stake in 1991 for $4 million, or about $5.88 a share, as part of a collaboration to develop drugs for diabetes, heart problems and inflammatory diseases like arthritis. Sphinx's focus is on rapid production and screening of thousands of potential drugs.

A group of the New Valley Corporation's bondholders offered yesterday to invest $215 million in the bankrupt company, which is the parent of Western Union Financial Services. Gotham Capital and Cerberus Partners offered the money in return for $115 million in new 12 percent preferred shares and $100 million in senior debt of New Valley, said John Walters, a New Valley spokesman. "This represents an investment in the company rather than a sale of Western Union," Mr. Walters said. Officials from Gotham were not immediately available for comment. The offer comes as three other companies seek the assets of Western Union in a bankruptcy-court auction.
