Charles Russell Gale, rector of St. James Episcopal Church on North Carolina Avenue, one block from a casino, was one of the more vocal critics in September 1979.

News Analysis

When Governor Cuomo appointed a commission in mid-May to study the safety and economics of the Shoreham reactor, the plant was far behind schedule and over budget, and the state and Federal Government were moving toward a collision over whether it should open. Those problems have not only intensified, but technical problems have also been added, and the commission's report - three weeks overdue but expected by mid-October - will not offer solutions, members say. The reactor's cost is up by at least $300 million, to about $3.5 billion, according to the Long Island Lighting Company, which no longer has a definitive estimate. The schedule has slipped by at least four months because of problems with the emergency diesel generators. And the Federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission has taken steps to allow the plant to operate before the state has been able to formulate its policy.

International Four U.S. marines were wounded in an attack on Beirut's airport. Two United States warships and a Marine shore battery fired back at anti-Government forces in nearby southern suburbs of Beirut populated mainly by Moslem Shiites. Fighting around Beirut stepped up as efforts to work out a cease-fire appeared to have become snagged over new demands made by Syria that Lebanon could not accept, diplomats said. (Page 1, Column 6.) Marines would stay in Lebanon another 18 months under a resolution approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee after a sharp debate over the Reagan Aadministration's Middle East policy. The committee voted along party lines, but several Republicans echoed Democrats' concerns that President Reagan was taking the country on a dangerous and uncertain course in Lebanon. (6:1.)

9 REPORTERS SEEK RULING ON TRESPASS
Date: 25 September 1983
By Jonathan Friendly
Jonathan Friendly
A group of nine Oklahoma reporters are asking the United States Supreme Court to determine whether their hot pursuit of a news story entitled them to violate state trespass laws. It is a ticklish issue for the press as well as the courts. Press groups worry that the police may use trepass laws to keep reporters away from newsworthy events. But they also worry about exacerbating a perception that the press is trying to put itself above the laws for the rest of society.

NEWSPAPERMAN S. I. Newhouse and the Business of News. By Richard H. Meeker. Illustrated. 294 pp. New York and New Haven: Ticknor & Fields. $17.95. S. I. (SAM) NEWHOUSE told the story on himself. He asked his wife, Mitzi, if she wanted anything as he was leaving his Park Avenue apartment for a stroll one Sunday: ''She asked for a fashion magazine, and I went out and got her Vogue.'' The year was 1959, the story apocryphal. But it characterizes Newhouse's style at the zenith of his remarkable, joyless, heroic, exhilarating, monomaniacal career, one as eccentric as any in the annals of American capitalism. At the time of his death in 1979, the Newhouse empire included 29 newspapers, a string of radio and television stations and the Conde Nast magazines (Glamour, Madamoiselle and House & Garden, in addition to Vogue). In 1920, Newhouse bought his first newspaper, The Fitchburg (Mass.) News, for $15,000. In his last deal, more than six decades later, he acquired the eight Booth papers in Michigan and the Sunday supplement Parade for a total of $305 million. In ''Newspaperman,'' Richard H. Meeker declares that that purchase is ''likely to remain the biggest newspaper deal of the twentieth century.''

WASHINGTON POST IMPOSES SPURNED PAY OFFER

After more than a year of what The Washington Post called ''fruitless'' bargaining with the Newspaper Guild, the newspaper told its 1,350 news and clerical employees Friday that it would unilaterally impose the terms of its ''final offer,'' beginning Monday. The newspaper's decision to start paying wage increases that were rejected as inadequate by a union vote two weeks ago takes The Post a step closer to severing its relationship with the Guild, although a Post spokesman said that was not the newspaper's current intention. Martha Hamilton, a spokesman for the union bargaining committee, said the Guild would file an unfair labor practice complaint with the National Labor Relations Board. Strike Regarded as Unlikely For 10 days after the Sept. 7 membership vote to reject the company's offer, the Guild posted an ''informational'' picket line outside the newspaper during weekday lunch hours.
