A recent morning: Robert J. Hall, publisher of Knight-Ridder Inc.'s two Philadelphia daily newspapers, is discussing his latest cost-cutting plan with a visiting reporter. His papers' reporters will no longer be able to call directory assistance, he says: "They have this incredible thing called a phone directory." Two hours later: Maxwell E. P. King, editor of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the respected broadsheet, sputters when a visitor describes the publisher's plan. "We're not cutting directory assistance for reporters," he says. Reporters on deadline often need to get telephone numbers quickly.

An American journalist held captive by the Bosnian Serbs is in good physical condition but has been mentally exhausted from several days of questioning, officials working for his release said today.

A representative from the International Committee of the Red Cross was allowed to visit Mr. Rohde during the call, said an editor with his paper.

Classroom Journal: Am I Really Ready for This?;A new professor faces jitters -- and endless work.

Date: 05 November 1995

BY William Celis 3d

AFTER 17 YEARS AS A JOURNALIST, THE last 5 as a reporter for The New York Times, I am experiencing first-hand what I have reported on -- higher education. It turns out that teaching is not the semiretired, laid-back stroll through the Colorado aspens and firs that my former newspaper colleagues seemed to think it would be. They haven't seen me or my colleagues grading papers late into the night, planning the next week's lessons, or frantically looking for time to write free-lance articles. (A body of work on a significant theme is required for tenure.) They haven't watched me sweat through "practice" lectures during orientation sessions offered to neophyte professors. This teaching business is more demanding than it appears from the outside.

On the last day of his life, Richard Will, a 32-year-old white man, begged two black police officers in this dangerous, almost entirely black Chicago suburb to give him a ride to the police station, Mr. Will's friend says. About 15 minutes later, after walking five blocks in search of a telephone, Mr. Will was attacked by a group of young black males. He was beaten, doused with lighter fluid and set afire. He died a few hours later.

GETTING enemies to see their way clear to making peace is like putting them in a hall of mirrors -- a place where reality can be reflected in endless ways. The key to success is to accentuate the positive. That's what the United States is trying to do with the parties in Bosnia now, nudging them into making small breakthroughs and making sure none of them leaves the negotiating table.

Former Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti, already on trial for collusion with the Mafia, has now been ordered to face a second trial on charges of complicity in the 1979 slaying of an Italian journalist. In a ruling issued late Saturday night, a judge said he had found sufficient evidence to prosecute Mr. Andreotti and four other men -- including three reputed Mafia members -- for the killing of Carmine (Mino) Pecorelli, editor of a journal that repeatedly probed into the dirty secrets of Italian politics. The trial is to open Feb. 2.

For more than 70 years, as Flushing's English pubs and German beer halls gave way to kosher delis and Italian restaurants, then to Asian grocery stores and karaoke bars, Anthony Avena's shoeshine stall has clung tenaciously to the Long Island Rail Road station at Main Street and Kissena Boulevard.

The shine costs $1.50; Mr. Avena's firsthand accounts of Flushing's past and present are free.
