An American economist who left Singapore last month said today that he would not return here because he was fearful of being imprisoned over a newspaper opinion article published in Singapore in which he criticized "intolerant regimes" in Asia. The State Department has protested the treatment of the economist, Christopher Lingle, who was interrogated by the Singapore police twice last month as a result the article, which appeared in The International Herald Tribune on Oct. 7.

FOR years, virtually every move at Newsday or Times Mirror, the corporate parent of the big Long Island newspaper, has brought predictions of the end of the company's expensive efforts to build a New York City paper. That skepticism was widespread again last week when Robert M. Johnson, Newsday's publisher and an aggressive champion of New York Newsday, departed with a vague explanation about differences in "business philosophy."

HARALD RAUDSEPP'S daily journey into his past is a ritual unmarred by age, frailty and the upheavals of history.

But he still puts on a starched suit every morning and rides the subway to midtown Manhattan, clutching typewritten testaments to a former life. Mr. Raudsepp is editor of The Free Estonian Word, a weekly newspaper for the estimated 10,000 Estonians in and around New York. He arrived here in 1949, after years of hiding from the K.G.B. in Soviet-occupied Estonia. The memories linger with haunting clarity.

THE DAWN OF SIMNEWS

Date: 06 November 1994

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has been writing capsules of three Cardinals' championship seasons since opening day, when only a moderately talented seer could have predicted a midseason halt (Word & Image: "The Dawn of SimNews," by Max Frankel, Oct. 2). Further, The Post-Dispatch carried capsule histories of other noteworthy Cardinals teams, in 1992 and 1993. It is inaccurate for The Times to suggest that we started this feature because of the strike or that the newspaper, to use Frankel's unfortunate turn of phrase, "feigned excitement over classic games of the past."

Throughout the turbulent Senate race in Virginia, Oliver L. North has usually let his confidence speak for itself. But with a new poll that shows him trailing the Democratic incumbent, Charles S.
