The ordeal of Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill has stoked hostility toward the news media. How deeply should reporters probe in assessing a person's character and past? In the case of David Duke, they haven't gone far enough. The 1970's Ku Klux Klan leader won election to the Louisiana Legislature in 1989 as a remade Republican. The real story, largely ignored, was and is his career as a neo-Nazi apologist.

The Washington Post disclosed yesterday that a columnist at the newspaper who had criticized those bringing sexual harassment accusations against Judge Clarence Thomas in a widely quoted opinion piece last Thursday was at the time being investigated on allegations that he had sexually harassed a co-worker. The huge impact the article had at a critical time raises questions about a news organization's sometimes conflicting obligations to be candid with readers and also to be fair to an employee under investigation.

After three days of televised inquiry into an accusation that Clarence Thomas had sexually harassed an aide, Americans still favor the judge's confirmation to the Supreme Court by a ratio of 2 to 1, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll. The poll, taken Sunday night, shows that a majority of Americans remain skeptical of the accusations made against Judge Thomas by his former aide, Anita F. Hill. More than half of those surveyed said they believed that the account of sexual harassment offered by Ms. Hill, now a law professor at the University of Oklahoma, was "probably not true." The poll was taken after the Sunday afternoon testimony of four witnesses who said Professor Hill had spoken to them about her experiences with Judge Thomas.

Every day in the newspapers and every hour on the hour on TV, the American press tells the country that not only the judge and his accuser are on trial in the harassment hearings but also the Senate, the nomination process, all men and the character of American society. True enough, but missing from the list of defendants on the harassment charge is the institution that is shaking its finger at the nation. The American press itself belongs on that list.

Barondess, who was named yesterday to head the mayoral committee investigating New York City's municipal hospitals, paused briefly during a telephone interview when asked if he had officially accepted the job. "Umm, we're still working on the details," he said of his continuing discussions with Mayor David N. Dinkins. "No one is talking about limiting me, but there are some parameters we have to work out."

An insurance industry group that is one of the bidders for the failed Executive Life Insurance Company today sweetened its offer for Executive Life, raising the restored value of policies it said all policyholders would receive. The National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations, an industry-financed group set up to help bail out customers of troubled insurers, said it had increased from 85 percent to 89 percent the value of all policies it would restore if it was chosen to take control of Exeuctive Life. Other bidders have said they will restore as much as 86 percent of policy values, or as little as 81 percent.

For Robert R. Ferguson, the chief executive of Continental Airlines, the carrier's fate has narrowed largely to two choices -- either it will be taken over by Northwest Airlines or remain independent and come out from under the shadow of bankruptcy by spring. "Northwest Airlines is meaningfully interested," he said in an interview yesterday at the midtown offices of Continental Airlines Holdings Inc., the parent company.

In an initial determination, the International Trade Commission ruled today that five United States chip companies had infringed a patent on semiconductor packaging technology held by Texas Instruments Inc. But the commission also ruled that an alternative process the companies are now using does not infringe, effectively nullifying Texas Instruments' efforts to block imports of chips designed by these companies but manufactured in other countries. The ruling, which was handed down by an administrative law judge, Sidney Harris, said that Analog Devices, Cypress Semiconductor, Integrated Device Technology, LSI Logic and VLSI Technology infringed Texas Instruments' patent for packaging integrated circuits by inserting fluid plastic into the mold cavity underneath a chip. Developed in the 1960's, this process is called "bottom gating."
