Soviets Off Camera Heart and mind are invariably at odds whenever the Soviet rulers make life miserable for Western correspondents. The latest gambit, really a reversion to old habits, requires that videotapes headed for American screens be delivered to the Moscow airport four hours early to allow a screening by censors.

In asking for an ''intensive'' national effort to create an effective defense against nuclear attack, President Reagan is apparently seeking to begin a sweeping, longrange change in national strategic doctrine. In his televised speech tonight, Mr. Reagan called his proposal ''a vision of the future that offers hope'' and one that could free the United States from the threat of nuclear war. However, some strategic thinkers will question not only whether his plan is technically feasible but also whether it is militarily desirable. Two assumptions have served as the foundation of the policies of deterrence that have guided the United States and the Soviet Union since the Russians acquired nuclear weapons in 1949. These assumptions are that there is not now any effective defense against nuclear attack, and that the present level of technology does not promise to provide such defense.

When the Rev. Sun Myung Moon was indicted for tax evasion in December 1981, he stood on the steps of the United States Court House at Foley Square and declared: ''I would not be standing here today if my skin were white and my religion were Presbyterian. I am here today only because my skin is yellow and my religion is Unification Church.'' Federal prosecutors denied they were conducting a vendetta against him. So that Mr. Moon could not ''blame any adverse result in this case on religious or racial bigotry,'' they insisted he be tried by a jury of 12 lay people and not, as he had requested, by Judge Gerard L. Goettel alone.

With their victory in today's vote on the budget, House Democratic leaders completed the transition of power that began with the election last November and established their effective control over the House of Representatives for the first time since President Reagan took office. ''This is the first signal,'' said Representative Tony Coelho of California, head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, ''that we have a working majority in the House of Representatives.'' Since budgets set the basic priorities for the Federal Government, they are always permeated by political considerations, and the Democrats used today's debate to stake out party positions on critical economic issues, primarily military spending, taxes and social programs. Moreover, the Democrats were trying to demonstrate that, after two years of rather futile opposition to the Republicans, they were ready to resume an important role in running the Federal Government. While the Democrats enjoyed a formal majority in those two years, the House was really ruled by a coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats.

Mayor Koch once again finds himself in a dispute with New York City's black and Hispanic communities, this time over his nomination of Robert F. Wagner Jr. as the next Chancellor of the New York City public school system. Since Mr. Koch took office in 1978, there have been repeated charges from some minority officials and groups that he is insensitive to their problems. Those charges led many black voters to support Mario M. Cuomo in last year's Democratic primary for governor and were a factor in Mr. Koch's defeat. But while the question of the Mayor's race relations has spurred heated exchanges over the years, few incidents have generated a confrontation as direct as the one over who will succeed Frank J. Macchiarola as Chancellor.

Dr. Barney B. Clark's 16 weeks of survival with a device of plastic and metal pumping his life's blood gave him little semblance of normal life, but it was a history-making advance in the long research effort to develop a practicable artificial heart. He never left the hospital in Salt Lake City after the artificial pump was installed in his chest on Dec. 2, 1982. He spent most of his remaining days and nights in an intensive care unit, attached to multiple tubes, wires and sensors. But his life was prolonged almost four months beyond the night on which his own disease-ruined heart failed for the last time and was removed. This survival has given the research team much information that may give the next patient a better chance.

International Less military aid for El Salvador than President Reagan seeks was recommended by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which said that the request for $60 million in additional assistance should be cut to $30 million. The panel also asked the Administration for new assurances to limit American involvement in El Salvador and called for ''unconditional dialogue'' between the Government and insurgents. (Page A1, Column 3.) A plan to develop new defenses against ballistic missiles was espoused by President Reagan even though several White House and Pentagon aides suggested it had not been carefully studied according to Administration officials.

International A new way to block missiles should be developed in the coming decades, President Reagan said in a televised address in which he strongly defended his program to increase military spending. In effect, Mr. Reagan proposed to make obsolete the present United States policy of relying on massive retaliation by its ballistic missiles to counter the threat of a nuclear attack. (Page A1, Column 6.) Aid for El Salvador was backed by a Senate panel. It approved, by a vote of 7 to 2, President Reagan's request for $60 million in additional military aid for El Salvador in funds diverted from military aid elsewhere provided that the Administration gave new assurances that the United States would not be drawn into combat and would take steps to strengthen democratic procedures in El Salvador.
