U.S. News's Expectations

James Clarity

Associates of Mortimer Zuckerman, the Boston real estate developer turned publisher, do not expect any major changes in the editorial leadership and staff of U.S. News and World Report when he officially takes over the news magazine next week. Marvin L. Stone will continue as editor for the immediate and, probably, indefinite future, it is said, although Mr. Zuckerman might replace the head of the business side, James H. McIlhenny, who has the title of president of U.S. News.

G.O.P. GIVES DALLAS DAILIES A PROMINENT BATTLEFIELD IN A LONG-RUNNING WAR

Date: 26 August 1984

As the last Republican convention delegates booked flights for the trip back home to Pocatello, much of Dallas heaved a sigh of relief, not least the bone-weary journalists of the city's hotly competitive dailies, The Dallas Morning News and The Dallas Times Herald. ''I think everyone is sort of glad it's over,'' said Jeremy Halbreich, senior vice president and general manager of The Morning News, the larger and more conservative, journalistically and politically, of the two competitors. ''It was a great effort but I'm not sure that what happened during convention week will affect circulation and advertising one iota.'' Nonetheless, both newspapers went all-out in an almost round-the-clock journalistic and promotional battle to gain some edge in a classic newspaper war at least as intense as the set-to between the Democrats and Republicans. Despite a convention that at times bordered on the soporific, the papers managed to fill beefed-up issues: seven pounds of The Morning News on Sunday, three pounds of The Times Herald. They included anything from the daily movements of the delegates to the fulminations of the pseudonymous Joe Bob Briggs, the Times Herald Drive-in-Movie Critic, who set aside reviews of movies like ''The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'' to devote his attentions instead to reviewing what he insisted on calling ''the Publicans.''

Image- conscious Dallas was hot, efficient, peaceful and friendly. But President Reagan's son Ron says he liked San Francisco better. There were more limousines than protesters, high praise for the police and more than $20 million in Republican conventioneers' money, the President's youngest son said.

NIELSEN RATINGS SHOW DEMOCRATS OUTDREW G.O.P.

Despite all the care and planning the Republican television and advertising consultants lavished on the party's national convention, for the first time in 16 years fewer people watched the convention of an incumbent President's party than watched the other party's convention, according to the Nielsen ratings. But numbers may not be the whole story. If there is a single affecting image that endures from all the thousands that went out over the television screen from the convention in Dallas, it might be the slight, delicate figure of Nancy Reagan standing on the stage and waving. She was trying to get her husband's attention, waving not at the camera that provided the picture of her that he was watching, but waving at the giant screen above her head, which showed him watching her from his hotel suite.

U.S. EX-DIPLOMAT SAYS SOVIET DISTORTED HIS VIEWS

Date: 26 August 1984

A former American diplomat said today that he was astonished to learn that the Moscow radio had attributed to him assertions that the South Korean airliner shot down last year was actually destroyed by a bomb planted on the aircraft and set off by remote control. The Soviet broadcast today, according to a United Press International dispatch from Moscow, quoted an interview that John Keppel, a retired Foreign Service officer, had given the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero. On Sept. 1, 1983 all 269 people aboard Korean Air Lines Flight 007 were killed when their plane was intercepted by Soviet fighter jets and shot down near Sakhalin island. Western officials said the plane had made a navigational error; Moscow said it had been on a spy mission and, after several days of denials, acknowledged shooting it down.

2 GERMANYS AT ODDS OVER LEADER'S VISIT

East Germany today accused ''certain forces'' in Bonn of trying to sabotage a visit to West Germany next month by Erich Honecker, the East German Communist Party leader. In a commentary, the East German party daily Neues Deutschland attacked Alfred Dregger, the parliamentary floor leader of the West German Christian Democratic Party, who two days ago declared that ''our future does not depend on whether Mr. Honecker pays us the honor of a visit.'' The editorial assailed Mr. Dregger, who voices right-wing concerns of his party, and the anti-Communist Springer newspaper chain, saying they ''do not want the possible visit'' to take place. It described Mr. Dregger's remarks as ''scandalous and provocative sallies.''

A French cargo ship that sank off the coast of Belgium Saturday night was carrying containers filled with a form of uranium used to make fuel for nuclear reactors, the ship's owner and French Government officials said tonight. An official in the French Ministry of the Environment, Jean-Claude Roure, said an investigation carried out by French maritime officials near the wreck revealed ''no trace of radioactivity in the area,'' indicating the containers had not broken during the collision. Guy Lengagne, the Secretary of State for Maritime Affairs, said in a communique tonight that ''the immersion of containers presents no danger'' of nuclear contamination. The containers remained on board the vessel, he said, and an examination of sea water collected from the area showed ''no leakage.''
