- <p> He's back. No, not Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's Rupert
- Murdoch, who's trying to prevent the termination of the bankrupt
- New York Post. Five years ago, after Murdoch bought a New York TV
- station, federal regulators forced him to sell the tabloid. A
- series of inept owners followed; the latest, Abe Hirschfeld, was
- so despised that his workers aboused him with headlines like WHO
- IS THIS NUT? In desperation, New York pols are importuning
- Washington to let Murdoch buy the Post again. Though staff
- members cheer, they may still face demands to tighten their
- belts one more notch.
