AN ENDURING RUSSIAN FACE
Date: 03 July 1985
By Seth Mydans, Special To the New York Times

A Western diplomat, trying to break the ice with a poker-faced Andrei A. Gromyko at the start of a round of talks, once asked whether he had had a good breakfast. Pausing just long enough to make his questioner feel a bit uncomfortable, Mr. Gromyko answered, ''Perhaps.'' When Mr. Gromyko was transferred today from the post of Foreign Minister, which he had held for 28 years, to that of President, there was nothing in his demeanor to indicate whether the move was a promotion or a demotion. In brief acceptance remarks before the Supreme Soviet, the Parliament, he stated what might have been his credo as the survivor of six Soviet administrations: ''I will make every effort to fulfill with honor my duty toward the party and the country.''

Mr. Gorbachev on the Move
Date: 03 July 1985
Mikhail Gorbachev is transforming the Soviet Government, trying to get his country moving again by drawing compatible and younger men to the top. That much is plain from his first 100 days as Communist Party chief. President Reagan is right to move toward a meeting with him next fall, to form his own first impressions.

TARGET PROBLEMS DELAY TEST OF U.S. ANTISATELLITE WEAPON
Date: 04 July 1985
By Bill Keller, Special To the New York Times
Bill Keller
The Air Force said today that its first test of an antisatellite missile against an object in space would be delayed because of technical problems with the target. An Air Force spokesman, confirming information provided by Congressional and non-Government sources, said the Air Force had canceled the launching of two target devices into orbit and sent them to the manufacturer for repair. The launching had been set for June 22. A Congressional source said Air Force officials had told Congress the repairs were expected to delay the launching of the targets by two or three months.

GORBACHEV'S RISE: ELEGANT AND STUNNINGLY SWIFT
Date: 04 July 1985
By Seth Mydans, Special To the New York Times
Seth Mydans
Never in postwar history has a Soviet leader moved so fast to consolidate his control of Kremlin power. When the position of President was given Tuesday to someone other than Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Communist party leader, Soviet citizens and Westerners alike immediately assumed that this was a sign of Mr. Gorbachev's strength, not weakness. Since 1977 Soviet leaders have collected for themselves both the nation's top titles, party General Secretary and President. But in nominating the longtime Foreign Minister, Andrei A. Gromyko, to the job, Mr. Gorbachev said he would simply be too busy to handle the largely ceremonial duties of head of state.

FILIPINO INSURGENCY: OUT OF RICE PADDIES AND INTO THE CITIES
Date: 03 July 1985

For more than a year, the growth of the Communist insurgency in the Philippines has been a matter of increasing concern. Yet the rebellion has been mainly a rural phenomenon, adhering to the Maoist edict of capturing the countryside and isolating the cities. But in recent weeks, gun battles between Communist guerrillas and Government forces have been fought in Manila itself, underscoring the rapid expansion of the insurgent campaign. ''Even Metropolitan Manila is now threatened,'' said Salvador H. Laurel, president of the United Nationalist Democratic Organization, the largest grouping of opposition parties.

RELEASE OF CAPTIVES BY ISRAEL BEGINS TODAY IN BORDER ZONE
Date: 03 July 1985
Special to the New York Times
Israel began releasing 300 mainly Lebanese detainees in a group today, busing them across the Lebanese border under an arrangement with the International Committee of the Red Cross. The 300 boarded buses early this morning to be transported to an Israeli zone in southern Lebanon, where their release is to be supervised by the International Committee of the Red Cross. Israel's inner Cabinet decided Monday to release the 300 over the next two days. They are part of a group of 766 whose freedom was the principal demand of the Shiites who hijacked a Trans World Airlines plane June 14. Thirty-one were freed by Israel June 24, military sources said.

JAPAN TO SELL U.S. ARMS TECHNOLOGY
Date: 03 July 1985
By Clyde Haberman, Special To the New York Times
Clyde Haberman
After more than a year and a half of inaction, the United States and Japan have set in motion a 1983 accord under which Japan agreed to provide its main ally with advanced military technology. American officials, for the first time, have singled out a piece of Japanese high-tech gadgetry that they want - an ''image-seeking'' device to help guide missiles to their targets. From the United States viewpoint, the specific technology may be less significant than the fact that a request had been made at all. ''The real importance,'' a Japanese defense expert said, ''is that it finally opens the pipeline'' for what the Americans hope will be a steady flow of Japanese technological skill in their direction.
