From the San Jose Mercury News, Sept. 12, 1987, page 17E (Business
section):
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SONY INTERESTED IN CBS RECORDS: Sony has approached CBS about buying its
records unit. Although CBS said it would "consider and respond to Sony's
Inquiry in due course," it also maintained it was not negtiating to sell
the unit, which some analysts value at about $2 billion. CBS's stock
jumped $9.50 a share to $208 after a gain of $8.25 Thursday.

Wow, talk about going to the heart of the problem. That would sure take
the wind out of the Copynotch sails! Anybody have more information on all
of this?
