Tom Barrack has partnered with Leo Hindery on a bid for the Dodgers, bringing together a prominent Los Angeles billionaire with the founder of the New York Yankees' cable channel. The alliance was disclosed Sunday by a person familiar with the Dodgers sale process but not authorized to discuss it.

That group had been one of the two prospective buyers known to remain in the bidding without a significant tie to Los Angeles.

Re "Renewing the contract," Opinion, Sept. 1 I was in college in the early 1960s, the heyday of American liberalism. One day in economics class, a student asked rather impertinently why we weren't studying Marx's economic theory along with the rest. The professor replied that there was no need to. Marx's theory of working-class impoverishment had been disproved by the rise of organized labor, the Wagner Act and a thriving middle class. Now, looking over an article like Leo Hindery's with its alarmingly divisive statistics and the social trends they represent, I begin to wonder who was right after all.

When Leo Hindery showed up for his first day on the job as the new president of Tele-Communications Inc., his arm was wired in three places from falling on the over-buffed floor of his old office. The break is so severe it could keep Hindery from his passion, racing stock cars, and he has steadily been forcing small movements in his fingers to restore the flexibility needed to get him back on the track.

There are frequent fliers, and then there are people like Steven Rothstein and Jacques Vroom. Both men bought tickets that gave them unlimited first-class travel for life on American Airlines. It was almost like owning a fleet of private jets. Passes in hand, Rothstein and Vroom flew for business. They flew for pleasure. They flew just because they liked being on planes. They bypassed long lines, booked backup itineraries in case the weather turned, and never worried about cancellation fees.
