The News Corporation is considering selling stock in its children's programming operations to the public, several people with knowledge of the discussions said yesterday. Such a sale could provide the company with money to start children's cable channels, should it choose to do so. The core of the children's programming business is called the Fox Children's Network, consisting of 19 hours of programs. Fox also has made several deals in the last two years to insure that it will have access to more children's shows in the future.

William C. Thompson Jr. says he is adamantly opposed to giving Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani direct control over the city school system. He has firmly rejected the idea of relinquishing to the police the Schools Chancellor's ultimate responsibility for school security, as the Mayor demands. And he has forged ties on the Board of Education with some of Mr. Giuliani's harshest critics. But if, as expected, Mr. Thompson is elected president of the board this morning, it will be because Mr. Giuliani wanted him to get the job. And that fact underscores the challenge Mr. Thompson will face in replacing Carol A. Gresser, who feuded bitterly with the Mayor and was eventually pushed aside by him as a result.

Veronica Guerin, the prominent Irish investigative reporter who was shot to death in her car on June 26, was a relative newcomer to journalism who took her trade by storm. In 1995, just five years after she started in the business, she began reporting on the largest heist in Irish history, in which a gang penetrated a supposedly secure depot near Dublin airport and took $4.4 million. She interviewed one suspect and without identifying him wrote a detailed story. A few days later an intruder entered her home and, after putting a pistol to her head, lowered it and shot her in the leg.
