Exactly.  The Record American bought the physical plant and the name, 
and perhaps some contracts for comic strips and syndicated columns.  
The Herald-Traveler Corporation changed its name to WHDH, Inc. and 
continued as operator of WHDH and WHDH-FM.  I don't know whether 
assumption of some of the Herald Traveler's debt was part of the sale 
price, but the Herald Traveler Record American was the continuation 
of the Record American.
