Maybe England's aversion to hard American news reflects the triumph of Rupert Murdoch's scorched-earth campaign to strip journalism of anything that might resemble fact. Maybe it's because every British editor of any skill has already immigrated to New York to work for Conde Nast. Whatever the reason, it is now almost impossible to find cogent information about what's happening in the United States in even the upmarket London newspapers.

The Compaq Computer Corporation will probably have slimmer gross margins through the remainder of the year, the company's treasurer said yesterday. Compaq's gross margin of 26.6 percent in the second quarter is probably unsustainable if the company wants to continue building market share, said David. J. Schempf, Compaq's corporate controller and treasurer. Compaq's goal is to maintain a gross margin of 23 percent to 25 percent of sales, he said. Mr. Schempf said the sales outlook was "very favorable" around the world. Compaq's stock closed at $35.50, up 12.5 cents, on the New York Stock Exchange, after trading at $36.75 shortly before Mr. Schremp's comments were reported.
