Skirmishes at NBC News have escalated into a war of words. On Thursday, the network announced that ARTHUR KENT, the correspondent who became famous for his live reports during the Persian Gulf War, and a producer, JOE ALICASTRO, had been suspended without pay for refusing an assignment in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. The suspensions, on Thursday, coincided with the news that an ABC News producer, David Kaplan, had been shot to death in Sarajevo. In a letter distributed to colleagues in front of NBC headquarters in Rockefeller Center yesterday, Mr. Kent sharply criticized the network's leadership. Accusing the management of "incivility," "brute stupidity" and "unworthiness of command," he threatened to continue his fight "in the streets, over the airwaves and through the legal system."

When George W. Bush hit the talk show circuit this morning, he had no interest in defending his father, the President, against Gov. Bill Clinton. He reserved his fire for another target: the press. "What isn't right is impact journalism," he told Harry Smith on the CBS News program "This Morning," "where the press tries to use their position to hurt my dad, whether it be to hurt my dad through his kids or to hurt my dad through unbelievable allegations."

Mort Pye has arguably wielded more influence in New Jersey affairs over the last quarter-century than any other person, public or private. But his name would not be recognized by the average reader of the newspaper he has edited since 1957, The Star-Ledger. Mr. Pye has taken pains to stay out of the spotlight, ducking interviews, almost never appearing on television, an editor who has confined his professional life to the newsroom and rarely ventured out of it.

During Patrick J. Buchanan's speech on Monday night, CBS twice cut away to a big man on the convention floor who was wearing a sequined red cowboy hat. The man was sweating and yelling "Pat, Pat, Pat!" He certainly seemed to be enjoying the speech. In fact, he seemed to be enjoying it a little too much.

Watching the Republican National Convention is a split-screen experience. It is like a concert for two orchestras whose conductors are not on speaking terms. From the official side come easy-listening tunes scored for strings and trumpets. From the network side comes a dissonant threnody. Whichever channel viewers turned to on opening night, except perhaps C-Span, which sticks more to the podium proceedings, they learned of dissension and dismay in Republican ranks. Not until Ronald Reagan's speech, at the end of the evening, was there harmony. Anchors, reporters and observers agreed that the former President had struck an upbeat note.

"I'm leaving you here, Bud," said Ron Wikberg, a lanky, sad-eyed man, newly freed after 23 years, his life term undone by a legal loophole he opened for himself.
