CONSERVATISM FINDS ITS TV VOICE
Date: 19 May 1985

The United States Government should overthrow the government in Nicaragua ''and we should try to do it openly.'' The Reagan Administration should ''tell all the Americans to get out of Libya and then specifically get the American oil companies out.'' The shooting of U. S. Army Major Arthur Nicholson by Soviet troops in East Berlin was ''murder'' that should prompt the Administration to demand ''some satisfaction or some penalty.'' Such vivid viewpoints are not what the millions of viewers of evening newscasts have been accustomed to hearing from network commentators. But that is the sort of opinion that viewers of ABC's ''World News Tonight'' have been listening to twice a week for the past eight months since the network appointed the conservative newspaper and magazine columnist George Will as commentator for the newscast. Mr. Will's arrival has been hailed by conservatives as the first opportunity for a bona fide thinker from among their ranks to have what William F. Buckley calls ''a presence in the room'' after years of dominance by what they regard as liberal opinion. But conservative viewpoints have been heard on ABC before; Howard K. Smith, for eight years a commentator on that network, was hawkish on matters of war and peace although liberal on some social issues.

When Laverne Patterson, a 38-year-old black woman from Queens, was asked to name the two or three most important white leaders in New York City, several names immediately came to mind: Mayor Koch, Governor Cuomo and Victor Gotbaum, who heads the largest municipal employee union. But when asked to identify a few black leaders, she could not summon a single one. ''I drew a blank,'' Mrs. Patterson, a city housing department supervisor, recalled. ''The only person, I guess, after I thought about it later, was Basil Paterson,'' she said, referring to the former deputy mayor and Secretary of State. ''I don't think there are many, and those that there are are not covered as well.''

The Nicaraguan opposition leder, Arturo Jose Cruz, has criticized the United States trade embargo against Managua and called for an end to both United States and Soviet bloc aid to rebels in the region. ''Economic cooperation should be utilized, not suspended,'' Mr. Cruiz said at a news conference in reference to the trade embargo imposed on May 1 by President Reagan. Mr. Cruz resigned as Nicraguan Ambassador to Washington in 1982 after becoming disenchanted with the course of the Sandinista revolution, which toppled the regime of Anastasio Somoza Debayle in 1979.

Ali in China
Date: 19 May 1985
Muhammad Ali performs his magic these days with cards and other props, but for a while last week the former heavyweight champion was back in the ring, to spar informally with some Chinese boxers during a stop in Peking. Mr. Ali, who is 43 years old, suffers from Parkinson's Syndrome, which sometimes causes his speech to be slurred and his body movements to be slowed. But dressed in gray slacks and a white shirt, he jabbed his way through five one-minute rounds at the Peking Physical Education Institute, part of an 11-day trip to China at the invitation of the Government. Later, he signaled the end of a news conference by yawning loudly, standing up and performing a magic trick for his enthusiastic Chinese audience.
