NBC CANCELS MAGAZINE SHOW '1986'
Date: 10 December 1986

NBC's 15th try at a weekly prime-time magazine program, ''1986,'' which network management once vowed would stay on the air forever, was canceled yesterday by Lawrence K. Grossman, president of NBC News. Mr. Grossman said that he, not his corporate superiors, made the decision and that it was made ''in the best interests of the news division'' because other forms of news programming, such as documentaries, would make better use of resources than the struggling ''1986.'' However, Roger Mudd, the program's co-anchor, expressed strong regret over the decision, which he likened to the death of a newspaper, and blamed it upon ''the pressure for profits.'' The cancellation of the program, which will have its last broadcast Dec. 30, comes in the context of a recent dispute between Mr. Grossman and his corporate superiors over the news division's budget, and there have been fears within NBC News that some bureaus might have to be closed.

Several thousand students staged an anti-Government demonstration in a Chinese provincial capital today, Japan's Kyodo News Service reported. In a dispatch from Beijing, Kyodo said about 3,000 students from five universities in the eastern province of Anhui gathered today in Hefei, the provincial capital, where they protested at the offices of the provincial government and the local newspaper. The report, based on information from unidentified students at Anhui University, said about 5,000 students had staged a similar protest in the city last Friday, chanting slogans such as ''No modernization without democracy!'' and halting traffic for several hours.

The Government said today that it had refused to renew the work permit of the correspondent of The Los Angeles Times, and told him to leave South Africa by Dec. 31. The journalist, Michael Parks, is the fifth foreign correspondent to be ordered out of country since a nationwide state of emergency was imposed June 12. The Department of Home Affairs would not give a reason for his expulsion. In a related development, representatives of South African newspaper publishers met with a Cabinet committee today about Government plans for tighter press controls. One anti-apartheid group, Black Sash, urged the publishers not to become ''a party to fascism.''

FEW POLITICAL COMMITTEES IN PUBLISHING AND MEDIA
Date: 10 December 1986

The suggestion by the president of NBC that the network start a political action committee is not likely to persuade book or magazine publishers to follow suit. In fact, even giant Reader's Digest, which formed a political action committee in the late 1970's, abandoned it two years ago for lack of interest. ''It was strictly voluntary,'' said a Digest spokesman, ''and by the time we ended it there were not many volunteers.'' That position stands in sharp contrast to the memo that Robert D. Wright, the NBC executive, sent to the network's general counsel, Corydon B. Dunham - namely, that employees who refuse to contribute to the proposed committee ''should question their own dedication to the company.''

NEW POLL SHOWS 47% HOLD VIEW REAGAN IS LYING
Date: 10 December 1986
By Gerald M. Boyd

About half the public says that President Reagan is ''lying'' when he asserts that he had no knowledge that funds from the sale of arms to Iran were being diverted to Nicaraguan insurgents, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll. Besides that blow to Mr. Reagan's credibility, the poll showed that his job approval rating had not rebounded despite a series of recent moves by the President. Forty-seven percent said they approved of the job Mr. Reagan was doing, a statistically insignificant difference from the 46 percent who approved in a survey one week ago that showed a 21-point drop in his approval rating. The latest poll, conducted by telephone among 1,036 adults on Sunday and Monday, showed that the public regarded how the Administration handled the facts of the case as the ''worst'' aspect of the secret dealings. Fewer respondents were concerned about the decision to sell arms to Iran and even fewer about providing funds to the Nicaraguan insurgents.

Buchanan Pursues Attack on Critics of the President
Date: 10 December 1986

Despite the reported opposition of other senior White House staff members, Patrick J. Buchanan, the White House communications director, pressed an attack today on the national press, the Republican Congressional leadership and the critics of Lieut. Col. Oliver L. North. Other senior staff members were said to regard Mr. Buchanan's remarks as politically damaging. But Mr. Buchanan said today that he was speaking with the backing of President Reagan. Over the last 48 hours, in forums ranging from a Cuban-American rally in Miami to a newspaper opinion column, Mr. Buchanan has condemned the news coverage of the Iran arms affair; warmly praised Colonel North, the ousted White House aide, as a ''patriot,'' and criticized Republicans for being ''derelict'' and failing to support Mr. Reagan. ''Nobody has told me to cool it,'' Mr. Buchanan said with a laugh in an interview in his White House office. ''And I have reason to believe that the President of the United States is not displeased with his controversial director of communications.''

HOUSE HEARINGS ON IRAN ARMS DEAL
Date: 09 December 1986
By John Corry

VISUALLY, it wasn't great; dramatically, it lacked crescendos. On television yesterday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing did not have the urgency of, say, a correspondent's stand-up on the White House lawn. If you missed it, however, you were so much the poorer. At the very least, it showed the democratic process at work. It also showed that the process, on television, is played out in an arena in which the winners are those who stay self-possessed. Secretary of State George P. Shultz testified before the committee in the morning. Robert C. McFarlane, who resigned as the President's national security adviser last year, testified in the afternoon and early evening. Mr. Shultz was calm. He is an old hand, and the committee members were respectful. Once or twice, Mr. Shultz even smiled. Mr. McFarlane looked grimmer; he was more under siege than Mr. Shultz.

The Chase Manhattan Bank, responding to reports in Crain's New York Business, confirmed yesterday that it was studying closing branches in the New York metropolitan area.

It said that the branch system would be reconfigured over a 12-month period and that branches might be opened during this period.
