RISING STAR IN KREMLIN
Date: 17 December 1984
By Serge Schmemann

Though Mikhail S. Gorbachev is no stranger to foreign travel, his visit to London is giving the West its first extensive chance to take his measure since his ascendancy in the Soviet hierarchy became evident. Though formally he is leading a relatively low-level delegation of Soviet legislators on a visit to the House of Commons, Mr. Gorbachev, who visited Italy and Bulgaria earlier this year, came to Britain as the Russian widely believed to be next in line to lead the Kremlin. Before his arrival Saturday, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher announced plans to give Mr. Gorbachev a reception more commensurate with his status as heir apparent than with the title he is using on the visit, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Council of the Union of the Supreme Soviet of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Mr. Gorbachev headed for London five days after he had offered some new clues to his standing in the Kremlin by delivering the keynote speech to a major party conference in Moscow. The speech itself attracted little attention, since it largely repeated standing exhortations and policies.

BROTHERS FEUD OVER NEW ORLEANS NEWSPAPER
Date: 17 December 1984
As a major voice for New Orleans blacks, the 59-year-old Louisiana Weekly is accustomed to reporting news, its front pages telling of lynchings in the 1920's, civil rights marches in the 1960's, and its back pages detailing accounts of social events. Recently the newspaper has been making its own news, but the usual reporters have not been writing it. Those with the familiar bylines resigned before Thanksgiving, along with most of the other employees. And the publishers, two feuding brothers, have been ordered by a state district judge not to talk to reporters from other news organizations.

HOW TV COVERS WESTMORELAND SUIT
Date: 17 December 1984

The court battle between CBS and Gen. William C. Westmoreland almost certainly is, as ABC told its viewers, ''one of the most important libel trials in modern American history.'' It has everything, including the Vietnam War. Moreover, as CBS reported, it raises ''questions for a judge and jury that could not be more important.'' As an ongoing story for television, however, it has been deficient. History may be in the making in Federal Court in Manhattan, but not much of it has been seen on the evening news. Obviously, television has one great disadvantage here: Cameras are not allowed in the courtroom. At the same time, it might not make much difference if they were. No matter how important, a libel trial is not visually gripping. If cameras were allowed, they would probably be used to show random moments of passion: General Westmoreland or the opposing attorneys, say, glowering or indignant.

Party's Paper Betrays Confusion in Ideology
Date: 17 December 1984
The extent of confusion over China's ideology was highlighted inadvertently by People's Daily a short time ago. A front-page editorial in the Communist Party organ asserted that ''one cannot expect the works of Marx and Lenin written in their time to solve today's problems,'' implying that the thinking of both Communist giants was thoroughy outmoded.

GRIM IMAGES: HOW ETHIOPIA BECAME NEWS
Date: 16 December 1984
By Peter W. Kaplan

Most Americans became aware of the famine in Ethiopia many months after it began, through television pictures. Some of those who watched the network news broadcasts on Ethiopia have asked why they appeared only in late October and early November and why the famine was suddenly available for viewing in electronic images whose instancy belied the slow development of the Ethiopian pain and starvation. Most of the answer lies in the difficulties the Marxist Government of Ethiopia put in the way of journalists who had become aware of the growing seriousness of the famine months before but could not get permission to enter the country to gather information, film and pictures. A broadcast tape that appeared on television in Europe and North America late in October and led to an outpouring of charity apparently opened the Ethiopian gate to other journalists.

MAJOR NEWS IN SUMMARY ; Extrasolar PlanetFound - Perhaps
Date: 16 December 1984
The long search for a planet outside our solar system may have ended 21 light years away, between Scorpio and Sagittarius in the constellation Ophiuchus. There, a research team at the University of Arizona reported last week that it had found a huge, gaseous sphere nine- tenths the size of Jupiter, the largest planet circling our sun, and 30 to 80 times as dense. They believe the object, named Van Biesbroeck 8B after the dim star it is orbiting, is also a planet, though of a much different sort than ours.
