ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS


     The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") issued a statutory notice of 
deficiency ("Notice") to the Company in March 1992 for additional income tax 
for the 1988 tax year.  The Notice resulted from an audit of the Company's 
1988 tax year wherein the IRS adjusted income and disallowed deductions, 
including deductions for fees and expenses related to the Acquisition.  The 
IRS also disallowed deductions for fees and expenses related to 1988 debt 
financing and refinancing transactions.  The IRS's basis for disallowance is 
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") Section 162(k) (which was enacted in 1986 
and which denies deductions for otherwise deductible amounts paid or incurred 
in connection with stock redemptions).  In March 1992, the Company filed a 
petition in the U.S. Tax Court opposing substantially all of the claimed 
deficiency and the case was tried in September 1993.  After the trial, the 
Company and the IRS executed an agreed Supplemental Stipulation of Facts by 
which the IRS and the Company partially settled the case by agreeing that 
certain fees and expenses (previously disallowed by the IRS and potentially 
representing approximately $26 million of tax liability) were properly 
deductible by the Company over the term of the 1988 debt financing and 
refinancing.  In addition, the Company agreed to capitalize certain amounts 
identified by the IRS and paid additional federal income tax of approximately 
$5 million representing its liability with respect to the agreed adjustments.  
On August 24, 1994, the U.S. Tax Court issued its written opinion on the 
remaining issues in which it essentially adopted the interpretation of Code 
Section 162(k) advanced by the IRS.  The Company intends to appeal the U.S. 
Tax Court decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.  If 
the decision of the Tax Court is ultimately sustained, the Company estimates 
that the potential amount of additional taxes due the IRS on account of the 
disallowance sustained by the Tax Court for the period 1988 through 1993 would 
be approximately $31 million and for the periods after 1993 (assuming current 
statutory tax rates) would be approximately $11 million, in each case 
exclusive of IRS interest charges.  The Company is unable to predict the final 
result of its appeal with certainty.  The Company believes, however, that the 
ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
financial condition.
