MOVING ON: ZUCKERMAN SELLS 15% STAKE IN REDSKINS TO SNYDER

          Redskins Minority Owner Mort Zuckerman said yesterday
     that he "agreed last week to sell his approximately" 15%
     stake in the team to Majority Owner Daniel Snyder, according
     to Mark Maske of the WASHINGTON POST.  Zuckerman: "I think
     the Redskins are a great franchise, but my interests have
     always been publishing, real estate and public policy.  I
     want to focus on the things I really want to do."  Zuckerman
     said that he joined Snyder's bid for the team last summer
     "to be of assistance to" Snyder and "denied" that his
     withdrawal from the ownership group "is because of a
     strained relationship" with business associate and Minority
     Owner Fred Drasner.  Zuckerman: "It's not true.  There's
     nothing to that" (WASHINGTON POST, 12/21).
