Speaking Personally; A LEGACY OF WORDS, WORDS, WORDS
Date: 11 January 1981

IWAS 14 years old when Yoko, Anne's cat, drowned in a neighbor's swimming pool. Anne, my best friend, was heartbroken. That was 1970. Now it is 1981. John Lennon is dead. I didn't cry, and neither did Anne, although I did call her in Boston, where she now lives, to share with her my grief and disgust. We have both changed. The death of Sid Vicious and the appearance of Devo and Elvis Costello mean more to me now. Enough of that. The papers already have related enough anecdotes to fill a book called ''Where Were You When JL Was Shot?'' The recent re-emergence of John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, into the public eye was newsworthy in itself. Articles in Playboy, The Soho News, Esquire and other publications are proof of that. Lennon was back on the road, on his way to another round in the rink.

DEBATING CIVIL LIBERTIES IN MAGNA CARTA LAND
Date: 11 January 1981
By William Borders

A sensational murder case in Yorkshire last week has rekindled a perennial British debate about police procedures, freedom of the press, and a suspect's right to a fair trial. The case, in which a 35-year-old truck driver was charged with having committed one of the 13 ''Yorkshire Ripper'' slayings, provided Britons with one of several reminders that frontiers are changing in the definitions of cherished civil liberties here in the land of Magna Carta. Among the most recent, a comprehensive Royal Commission report on criminal procedure was published last week recommending increased powers for the police in dealing with criminals. Fresh discussion of individual rights has been engendered by sharp increases in Britain's nonwhite population, eroding the comfortable Anglo-Saxon homogeneity that once helped keep the peace.

NEWS ANALYSIS: NEW GOVERNOR'S COURSE
Date: 11 January 1981
By Richard L. Madden

HARTFORD IN his first major policy pronouncement as Governor, William A. O'Neill has staked out a conservative approach to the state's fiscal problems by emphasizing spending cuts rather than tax increases. Mr. O'Neill's message on the state of the state to the new General Assembly last Wednesday - a message that even the new Democratic Governor acknowledged was a discouraging one - delighted the Republican minorities in both houses, caught unawares some Democratic leaders who had been sending up trial balloons for higher taxes, and brought protests from municipal officials, who stand to lose state grants they had counted on. The result may be good politics for a new Governor who has only two years to build a record on which to run for election in his own right at a time when polls show that state taxpayers favor cuts in government spending. But it promises to make relations more difficult between the Governor and the Democratic majorities in the Legislature, who will be asked to vote for the proposed spending cuts. Mr. O'Neill, a former legislator and Lieutenant Governor who took office Dec. 31 when Ella T. Grasso resigned because of ill health, received an ovation from his former colleagues as he entered the Hall of the House, but somewhat more subdued applause after he finished his speech and quickly left the chamber.

International Iran was told by the United States in its last set of proposals for freeing the hostages that within several days following their release it could probably recover more than 70 percent of its multibillions of dollars frozen in American banks. Iran was also given an American estimated value of those assets. The total, officials said, is about $9.5 billion, a figure considerably less than Iran's claim of $14 billion and the $11 billion estimated by some nonofficial American experts. (Page 1, Column 1.) An answer from Iran to the latest American proposals for freeing the hostages - ''most likely'' acceptance - will be issued by Friday, the deadline set by the Carter Administration, Ahmad Azizi, Iran's Director of Hostage Affairs, said.

International A major weapons sale to Saudi Arabia is reportedly being considered by West Germany, which would reverse the West German policy of staying out of the weapons business in regions of tension. Members of Chancellor Helmut Schmidt's Social Democratic Party oppose the proposed sale on the grounds that it would be a potential danger to Israel and would conflict with longstanding policy. (Page 1, Columns 4-5.) One of Poland's Communist leaders sought to avert a showdown with the independent labor union Solidarity, urging in an unexpected appearance on television a ''reasonable solution'' to the union's disputes with the Government. Stefan Olszowksi, a member of the Politburo, suggested that a compromise was possible on the five-day workweek sought by the union. (1:6.)

The prize was $100,000, and Carnegie-Mellon University said in May 1980 that it would award it to the first person to come up with a computer program that would defeat the world chess champion. Dr. Hans Berliner, a computer scientist at the university and a former world champion in chess by correspondence, was named head of a rules committee for the competition. He said that no computer could defeat the chess champion in the next five years, but that this was a 50-50 possibility by 1990 and a certainty by the year 2000.

AFTERNOON EDITION OF DAILY NEWS ISN'T SELLING AT ITS EXPECTED LEVELS

Tonight, the afternoon edition started by The Daily News five months ago to attract a new, upper-income readership, has drawn only about one-third the number of readers News executives had informally projected as its potential. Officials of The News said a part of their package of changes aimed at the ''upscale'' residents - the Manhattan section and five lifestyle sections - had been well received by readers. The Manhattan section has attracted more than twice the advertising originally projected, they said. Last week, however, they changed the production schedule for Tonight and told union officials they would cut some press runs by Feb. 1, affecting workers on the afternoon and morning editions.
