Bad News on Booze
Date: 07 May 1983
By James Clarity and Judith Miller

For the reporters, photographers, commentators, camera operators, sound and light technicians, producers, assistant producers, unit managers and others who are assigned to cover national political candidates, no booze is bad news. So when a group of news people realized recently that they were in a bus in Ohio following a candidate to a dry town, they began to grumble and gripe, recalling the alcohol-free days of bivouac in Plains, Ga., the home of Jimmy Carter.

He was tired of being unemployed, he said; he planned to set himself on fire in the town square. When two cameramen arrived, the 37-year-old roofer doused himself with lighter fluid and struck a match.

MAJOR NEWS IN SUMMARY

An Ultimatum For Indian Point The Nuclear Regulatory Commission didn't quite pull the plug on the two nuclear power plants at Indian Point last week, but it certainly gave their operators a jolt. It unanimously ordered Consolidated Edison and the New York State Power Authority to improve emergency evacuation plans by June 9 or shut the Westchester County reactors. Whether acceptable plans could be developed given the formidable local opposition to the plants was not at all clear, despite assurances from Nunzio Palladino, the N.R.C. chairman, that ''a workable solution is possible.'' About 288,000 people live within 10 miles of the reactors, more than around any other nuclear plant in the nation. Some officials contend hilly terrain, narrow roads and congestion make evacuation impossible. (Indeed, a Federal agency declared a March evacuation drill a failure.)

Presidential Candor on Aid To Nicaraguans
Date: 08 May 1983
President Reagan came close last week to advocating the overthrow of the Sandinist Government in Nicaragua. As 1,500 American-assisted Nicaraguan rebels reportedly launched a new drive across the Honduran border, the President condemned a fresh Congressional move to bar covert aid to what he called ''freedom fighters'' and questioned the right to exist of ''a Government out of a barrel of a gun.'' ''What makes them any more a legitimate government than the people of Nicaragua who are asking for a chance to vote for the kind of government they want?'' he asked.

International Israel's Cabinet voted to accept in principle a draft agreement with Lebanon on border security and mutual relations. The vote was 17 to 2. The accord is intended as a basis for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon provided the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Syrian Army also leave. It would also provide for close Israeli involvement in security operations in southern Lebanon. (Page 1, Column 6.) Syria informed top Lebanon officials that it had objected to virtually every major clause of the agreement between Lebanon and Israel on the withdrawal of Israeli forces. (1:4.)

TV: THE PRESIDENT'S IMPRESSIVE USE OF THE CAMERA
Date: 07 May 1983

There is nothing a media consultant can do for President Reagan. Media consultants are the stage managers, voice coaches and lighting directors of American politics, taking in a pleat here, a tuck there, making their candidates presentable for television. Mr. Reagan, however, does it all himself. He is awesome in his use of the tube. Consider, for example, Mr. Reagan's televised speech to Congress on El Salvador last week. After the speech, ABC-TV asked viewers to call a number, indicating whether they agreed or disagreed with Mr. Reagan when he said the situation in Latin America threatened the United States. Of the 336,462 who called, 258,943 said they agreed. It is possible that they would have agreed with the President even if he had not spoken on television; it is likely, however, that some of the viewers were persuaded by what they saw and heard. Mr. Reagan may have been addressing Congress, but he was speaking directly to viewers.
