NEWS SUMMARY: THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1986
Date: 23 January 1986
International Claims by Ferdinand E. Marcos that he headed a guerrilla resistance unit during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines are ''fraudulent'' and ''absurd,'' according to American Army conclusions after World War II. President Marcos, throughout his political career, has portrayed himself as a heroic guerrilla leader, but documents in United States Government archives for 35 years show that repeated Army investigations found no foundation for his assertions.

Police officials in Newport News, Va., said yesterday that their experiment with computerized traffic-ticket writing - similar to the system New York City had hoped to adopt - has thus far been largely successful. The city of 155,000, a major port at the mouth of the James River, has been using three portable Ticketwriter computers since last August to issue traffic summonses and catch scofflaws in its downtown area. Officials of the Newport News Police Department, interviewed by telephone, said the system was achieving its goals in terms of writing tickets, identifying people who ignored traffic tickets and simplifying the entry of ticket information into the Police Department computer system.

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.

Date: 22 January 1986

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.
