Early Risers ''Ron Steinman (an NBC 'Today' producer) had the idea for the ('Early Today') show during the inauguration in Washington in 1981. We were driving in at 5:30 in the morning to go to work because we're on the air at 7 o'clock and we see all these cars - a big traffic jam. He said, 'You know what we we need to do?' And I said, 'What?' And he said, 'We ('Today') need to start early.' That's why it all started and with an assist from our friends at ABC we did it.''

SAN ANTONIO PAPERS DEFY U.S. TREND

Date: 05 July 1982

Everyone in the newspaper business knows there is no future for afternoon newspapers, and maybe not much of one for competing newspapers, morning or evening. So what is one to make of San Antonio, which supports not just one, but two, afternoon newspapers - The Light and The News - as well as a morning daily, The Express? Publishers, editors, San Antonio public officials and newspaper industry experts offer a variety of explanations for the anomaly. Among them are these: - The city's population of more than 785,000 people has been growing by 35,000 a year, a growth rate with enough advertising and circulation potential to postpone the slide toward newspaper monopoly experienced in static or declining cities.

E.P.A. Head Says the Press Distorts Her Role in Agency

Date: 04 July 1982

AP

Anne M. Gorsuch, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, says she has been the victim of ''inaccuracies and distortions'' in the press that have hindered her in managing the agency. Mrs. Gorsuch, who took office in May 1981, has been accused by environmental groups of hampering enforcement, driving the best people from the agency and working to weaken protective laws. In a speech on Tuesday at the National Press Club here, Mrs. Gorsuch said the accusations had no basis in truth, adding, ''These inaccuracies and distortions get in the way of managing E.P.A. for genuine environmental improvements, and environmental improvement is the principal criterion on which I judge myself.''

New Jersey Monthly Defended on Articles

Date: 04 July 1982

In the New Jersey Journal of June 20, Colleen Katz, the new editor of New Jersey Monthly magazine, is quoted as saying: ''We must recognize that, until we can afford a fine research and fact-checking staff, we have to stay away from controversial articles.'' Mrs. Katz's implication is that until now the magazine's stories have been poorly researched.

International West Beirut was sealed off by Israeli armored troops that moved into Beirut to take up positions at the so-called Green Line, which separates the Christian-controlled east side from the Palestinian strongholds in the west. At the same time artillery fire erupted between Israeli forces and Palestinian guerrillas on the southern outskirts. The Israeli move appeared designed to force the Palestine Liberation Organization and its guerrillas to leave western Beirut. Meanwhile, negotiations made some progress with an agreement that a multinational force would ultimately be deployed in western Beirut alongside the Lebanese Army when it is allowed to enter.

International Israel rejected any peace proposal that would leave the Palestine Liberation Organization with a political or organizational presence in Lebanon. All members of the P.L.O. ''without exception'' must leave Lebanon, a statement by the Cabinet said after discussions of the political negotiations being held in Beirut. The statement was an apparent response to reports in Jerusalem that the P.L.O. had offered to withdraw some of its fighters if permitted to keep a political office and a unit in the Lebanese army. (Page 1, Column 6.) The Israeli siege of west Beirut was intensified. Water, food and fuel were prevented from entering the encircled stronghold of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Israeli ground troops blocked almost all traffic into west Beirut while tanks in a hillside village overlooking Beirut fired on Palestinian neighborhoods. (1:5.)

THE BEARER OF BAD NEWS HAS FEWER FRIENDS

Date: 04 July 1982

WASHINGTON SPEAKER THOMAS P. O'NEILL Jr. approached Alice Rivlin at a cocktail party last winter and asked her to predict the inflation rate in the months ahead. Did the Speaker have any particular month in mind? she asked. ''How about November?'' the highly political Massachussetts Democrat said, referring to the Congressional elections. Mrs. Rivlin replied that such a forecast was difficult to make because it depended upon many factors. Did she have a gut prediction?, the Speaker asked. When pressed, Mrs. Rivlin said that she thought the inflation rate would decline by several percentage points. ''That's the wrong answer,'' Mr. O'Neill said, a twinkle in his eye. Alice Mitchell Rivlin has made a career of telling people what they did not want to hear. She has given ''the wrong answer'' to Presidents, Congressional leaders, and virtually everyone else who has a vested interest in the numbers she helps formulate as the founding director of the Congressional Budget Office. She routinely offers economic predictions that are more pessimistic than those propounded by Presidents, and has thus infuriated Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford, Jimmy Carter and, most recently, Ronald Reagan. She usually estimates the cost of their programs as considerably higher than their projections, while trimming their projected revenues and savings.

Serpico's Child

Frank Serpico, the former New York City police officer whose fight against corruption in the Police Department in the 1960's led to hearings, reforms and a movie, was back in the news in a paternity case last year when a Family Court judge ordered him to pay $790 a month in support for a child he said he was tricked into fathering. With paternity established by blood tests, Mr. Serpico acknowledged his relationship with an airline stewardess, but said he had been unwittingly ''used as a sperm bank'' because she had told him she was taking birth-control pills but was actually trying to conceive.
