International A ''chemical detonation'' possibly caused by a bomb may have ripped through the front cargo hold of an Air-India jetliner last year, according to a team of five Indian scientists. The Boeing 747, flying from Montreal to London, crashed in the Atlantic off Cork, Ireland, killing all 329 people on board. [ Page A1, Column 1. ] One engine of the jet that crashed in Gander, Newfoundland, on Dec. 12, killing 248 American servicemen, was delivering less power than the three other engines at the moment of impact, according to investigators.

TV NEWSMAN'S TRANSITION TO NOVELS
Date: 22 January 1986
By Herbert Mitgang, Special To the New York Times
Herbert Mitgang
Gerald Seymour once had it made as a British television journalist: he carried a company air-travel card, appeared on camera in a street-scarred overcoat (''I was against the romantic trenchcoat image'') and did his two minutes of stand-up reporting from many of the magic-carpet datelines of the world. Then, three years after his acclaimed first novel, ''Harry's Game,'' was published in the United States and became a main selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club in 1975, he decided to give up the television glamour - the recognizable face on the screen, the chance to have his voice heard at once by millions, the punditry that came with being on the scene when big stories broke - for the aloneness of a novelist. As a seasoned craftsman behind the microphone and the typewriter, whose novels are regularly published in London and New York -a new one is coming from W. W. Norton, his American publisher, this spring - Mr. Seymour has very definite views on the advantages offered by fiction over fact for a onetime journalist.

Half of those who changed said they relied more heavily on condoms, and more than 90 percent spoke of carefully choosing partners or avoiding promiscuity. Three-quarters of those polled said they believed that acquired immune deficiency syndrome would spread beyond the groups the fatal illness has hit hardest: homosexual men and intravenous drug users. This finding spanned divisions by age, race or sex.
