Article Abstract:

Tenet Healthcare, a for-profit concern based in California, has received permission to proceed with its $345-million purchase of eight hospitals and the bulk of the Allegheny Health, Education and Research Foundation's (AHERF) Allegheny University of the Health Sciences (AUHS). US Bankruptcy Court Judge M. Bruce McCullough approved the sale, despite objections raised by Pennsylvania's attorney general.

The deal is slated to be finalized on Nov. 10, 1998.

Parking lots hike Steelers rates $3

Article Abstract:

Alco Parking Corp.'s move to increase its parking rates to $8 has been approved by the Public Parking Authority in Pittsburgh, PA. Steelers fans will now be paying $3 more to park in Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium and $4 more for playoff games. The Public Parking Authority also approved a 50-cent hike in weekly parking at the stadium, which has approximately 5,000 spaces. However, Alco's $8 game day fee is still under the $10.34 average for regular season parking at other National Football League facilities, according to Sean Brenner of the Team marketing Report, which studies sports finances.

National City ends McCune Foundation dispute

Article Abstract:

National City Bank said it has no intention of naming any McCune descendant to the management committee of the $610 million McCune Foundation. The Pittsburgh, PA-based charity trust was founded by Charles L. McCune, who named the bank and his brother Marshall as co-trustees. Marshall, however, died before Charles, leaving the bank as the foundation's sole trustee. Charles' grandnephew, Jamie Edwards, had been pressuring the bank to name him and his relatives to the management committee, but the bank's categorical announcement appears to put the issue at rest.
