WHEN NOTHING HAPPENS AND THEY CALL IT NEWS
Date: 22 March 1985
By Martin Tolchin

In this city of pomp and ceremony, where politics and stagecraft combine to create shades of illusion and reality, the staged nonevent has become an art form. It is an exercise in the power of fantasy, whose most deft practitioners excel in theatricality as they pursue longterm goals. Flamboyance and confrontation are the tools of their trade, as they bid for public attention and work to influence a debate. ''This town runs on nonevents,'' said Michael Johnson, an aide to Robert H. Michel, the House Republican leader. ''Their sole purpose is to create a perception that defies reality. They oversimplify and overdramatize.''

EXPERIENCED POLITICIAN FOR LABOR POST
Date: 21 March 1985
By Kenneth B. Noble

Unlike Raymond J. Donovan, who was virtually unknown in political circles here before being named by President Reagan as Secretary of Labor, Bill Brock has been making headlines for almost two decades as part of the Washington establishment that seems to float effortlessly from one Administration to another. Mr. Brock was first elected to the House of Representatives as the wealthy scion of a Tennessee family that owned a candy-making business. And he made his initial reputation in Congress as a tart-tongued conservative who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But as chairman of the Republican National Committee and then as Mr. Reagan's personal representative in foreign trade matters, Mr. Brock has, by most accounts, been successful in recent years at establishing a rapport with many who once sharply disagreed with his views. At the same time, Mr. Brock is seen by many of his colleagues as having gone through a political as well as a personal evolution from a prickly conservative to a conciliatory moderate.

ART: A VIEW OF NEWS MANIPULATION
Date: 22 March 1985

''Disinformation - The Manufacture of Consent'' is the brainchild of Geno Rodriguez, the director of the Alternative Museum. Mr. Rodriguez, ''angered'' and ''disillusioned'' with his ''peers' seeming lack of interest and/or commitment to geo- political problems,'' wanted to organize a ''meaningful'' and ''controversial'' exhibition that could provide an example of what daring curators could do. His theme is ''disinformation,'' which he defines as ''a technique used by the printed and electronic media in order to create national opinion and dissent.'' More than 30 artists were invited to create work for the show, including Leon Golub, Erika Rothenberg, Nancy Spero, May Stevens and Francisc Torres. Using the news coverage of Central America, Israel and other political and social issues, most of the works set out to demonstrate that the social and political information presented by the news organizations is selective and to expose the interests that are being served by the media's selection process. Mr. Rodriguez also invited Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky to write essays for a catalogue that ends up making the show essentially redundant.

PRESIDENT'S NEWS CONFERENCE ON FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC ISSUES
Date: 22 March 1985
Following is a transcript of President Reagan's news conference last night in Washington, as recorded by The New York Times: OPENING STATEMENT I have just a few words first. Let me commend again the Senate of the United States for having approved production of 21 more MX Peacekeeper missiles. The Senate has endorsed the decision of four Presidents that the Peacekeeper is a vital component of the American deterrent. Now is the testing time for the House of Representatives. The votes there will answer the question of whether we stand united at Geneva or whether America will face the Soviet Union as a nation divided over the most fundamental questions of our national security. For more than a decade, we've debated the MX, and while we were debating the Soviets were deploying more than 600 such missiles and targeting them upon the United States. Now they're on the verge of deploying two new strategic land-based systems and we're still debating.

Baseball Adopts Open-Door Policy
Date: 22 March 1985
At hand is a two-page directive, addressed to all major league clubs, from Commissioner Peter Ueberroth and the two league presidents. It is titled ''Club/Media Procedures - 1985,'' and like similar memorandums issued in earlier years each spring by Ueberroth's predecessor, Bowie Kuhn, it notes that baseball's coverage by the press, radio and television is important for the success of the sport, and sets guidelines for the news media's access to players. Not much new in that.

2 CBS NEWSMEN ARE SLAIN IN LEBANON BY ISRAELI TROOPS
Date: 22 March 1985
Reuters
An Israeli tank shelled a group of journalists in southern Lebanon today, killing a cameraman and a soundman working for CBS News and wounding several other people. The president of CBS News immediately protested ''what eyewitnesses have called an unprovoked and deliberate attack by Israeli forces.'' An Israeli Army spokesman in Tel Aviv said the tank fired on the journalists covering an Israeli military operation against guerrillas because they were apparently among armed enemy soldiers in firing positions.

MEESE FAVORS REDUCING TOTAL OF CLASSIFIED DATA
Date: 21 March 1985
By Leslie Maitland Werner

Attorney General Edwin Meese 3d said today that any Government decision to prosecute journalists for making secrets public would ''depend on the circumstances of the case.'' ''I think and I would hope,'' Mr. Meese said, ''that journalistic ethics would prevent people who have obtained what is in effect stolen property, stolen information, from utilizing it in a way that would compromise or hurt the national interest.'' Mr. Meese, in a question-and-answer session after a luncheon speech to the Washington Press Club, was asked whether he favored prosecuting journalists for publicizing classified information that was disclosed to them without Government authorization. The Reagan Administration has repeatedly expressed concern over the potential for unauthorized disclosures of information that would endanger national security. In 1983 it attempted to tighten procedures for the handling of such information through an order requiring many more Federal employees to sign secrecy agreements and expanding the use of the polygraph, or lie detector, to investigate breaches of security.

REAGAN SAYS TIME IS RIPE FOR TALKS WITH SOVIET CHIEF
Date: 22 March 1985

Bernard Weinraub
President Reagan said tonight that it was ''high time'' that the United States and the Soviet Union held a summit meeting in an effort to improve relations. Emphasizing his desire to meet the new Soviet leader, Mikhail S. Gorbachev, he brushed aside the notion that he was ''being rebuffed'' because he had not yet received a response to an invitation to Mr. Gorbachev to come to the United States. Mr. Reagan, speaking at a nationally televised news conference, said: ''There are a number of things - bilateral situations between our two countries, other things to talk about - that we're negotiating or talking to each other on a ministerial level. And that some of those could probably be further advanced if we met at a summit.''

2 MEMBERS OF CBS CREW DIE

Hundreds of Israeli soldiers swept into a group of Shiite Moslem villages in southern Lebanon today, killing what the Israelis described as 21 ''terrorists.'' Two members of a CBS News camera crew died in one of the villages and a third was seriously wounded after they were hit by fire from an Israeli tank. An Israeli Army spokesman said the journalists, all three Lebanese nationals, had apparently been among a group of armed men in one of the villages. CBS protested the incident, telling Prime Minister Shimon Peres that witnesses had described the attack on the journalists and their ''unmistakably marked'' car as ''unprovoked and deliberate.''
