The Sporting News is making a change that might be considered the media equivalent of installing lights in Wrigley Field. The sports weekly, which began running baseball box scores in 1886, its first year of publication, will eliminate them in favor of additional coverage of baseball, football, basketball and hockey.

Spawning the latest of CNN's international clones, a dozen state-backed European television stations have decided to create an all-news satellite channel that should begin broadcasting in five languages early next year. Euronews, as it is to be called, has been under discussion for more than a year, but the final approval came last week when its Geneva-based directors chose Lyons, France, as the station's headquarters.

GEORGE BUSH has been in public life since the 1960's, and he has been President of the United States, scrutinized every day in every way, for more than three years. Yet as he labored last week to recover from a Republican primary in New Hampshire in which he was able to attract only 53 per cent of the vote, his managers were still struggling to find some way to present a clearer impression of the man and his policies. A New York Times/CBS News poll conducted last week dramatized the depth of the President's problem: the poll showed that more than half of registered voters find it hard to say what Mr. Bush hopes to accomplish in a second term -- although, of course, Mr. Bush still has several months in which to refine his message to the nation.

But many banks set such fees outside those limits, arguing that they are governed only by laws of states where their credit-card operations are based, not where customers live. Now that argument is under legal challenge. 1 THE NEW LOOK OF THE KLAN Inspired by David Duke's example, the Ku Klux Klan has begun to cultivate savvy, clean-cut-looking disciples who convey a sanitized message. 16 Regional 28-36 SAINT OR UNCLE TOM?
