FREE SPEECH SHOULD BE A VICTIMLESS RIGHT
Date: 29 November 1982
To the Editor: In his Nov. 4 Op-Ed article, ''The Media and Juries,'' Judge Irving R. Kaufman observes correctly that current First Amendment restraints on defamation suits by ''public officials'' and ''public figures'' have failed to prevent large verdicts against the news media. However, his argument that most recoveries of this kind should be eliminated in the interest of assuring vigorous news reporting and safeguarding the public's ability to become informed is not very convincing. here are three goals that the law on media defamation should attempt to achieve: * Victims of defamation ought to be compensated. If the possibility of defamation is, as Judge Kaufman says, ''the price that must be paid for the blessing of a democratic way of life,'' that price should not have to be borne solely by the defamed individual and his or her family. It should be shared, as monetary compensation (the traditional form of redress for non-monetary injuries) can be shared, by all who are blessed.

President Reagan's planned visit to Central America this week has already stirred political passions in that highly polarized region. The stated purpose of Mr. Reagan's brief talks with the leaders of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras is to reaffirm Washington's commitment to promoting democracy throughout the convulsed region. But many officials and others in the region believe that the real impact of his 24-hour visit, part of a five-day swing that is to begin with stops in Brazil and Colombia, will come from the interpretations that Central Americans give to Mr. Reagan's motives for going. Even before he arrives, the most frequently expressed opinion is that he wants to strengthen conservative forces and further undermine Nicaragua's leftist Government.

A chaotic world trade conference wound up at about 6 A.M. today after five days of confrontations that gradually gave way to negotiating positions and, finally, a measure of compromise among the 88 participating nations. The product, a delicately worded 5,000-word ministerial declaration, reaffirmed the political commitment to free trade, but it skirted the issues of Common Market farm subsidies and third-world trade barriers - both of which the United States had sought to phase out. In a crucial victory for the United States, however, the statement sought to extend the rules of international trade to banking, insurance, data processing and other services. The trade conference was the first since 1947 - when the international trading system was organized in the Declaration excerpts, page D25. wake of World War II - at which the agenda was the broad outlines of trade policy rather than specific objectives.

Many of the underlying problems that contributed to New York City's fiscal crisis of the mid-1970's remain unresolved, although the immediate cause of the crisis - the city's inability to finance itself - has been corrected, according to a study released yesterday. These recurring problems are a central theme of the study ''Setting Municipal Priorities, 1983,'' an annual review of city affairs compiled by two college professors. The problems, in the professors' view, include an inadequate property tax system, the city's most important source of revenue; the continuing burden on the city budget of welfare and Medicaid; weaknesses in management of city agencies, and uncertainty about the city's ability to raise the money needed to rebuild crumbling public facilities. The resolution of these four problems is ''essential to the future of the city,'' according to the professors, Charles Brecher of New York University's Graduate School of Public Administration and Raymond D. Horton of Columbia University's Graduate School of Business.

The campaign for the parliamentary elections in March has started, and the battered and demoralized Free Democrats appear to be stumbling. Rarely has such uncertainty enveloped a West German election. The voting, promised for March 6 by Chancellor Helmut Kohl, could fundamentally alter the nation's political landscape, but some politicians have mounted a rear-guard action to prevent the election from taking place. Not surprisingly, reluctance to face the voters is strongest among the small Free Democratic Party, which in September brought down Helmut Schmidt's Social Democratic Government by throwing its parliamentary support behind Mr. Kohl's conservative Christian Democrats.

BRIBERY TRIAL ACTIVIST JUDGE: PRENTICE HENRY MARSHALL

When Prentice H. Marshall, who is presiding over the trial of the teamster union's president for bribery and conspiracy, was appointed to Federal District Court here by President Nixon in 1973, 46 Illinois legislators signed a public letter ''deploring'' his nomination. The legislators were all Republicans. And Judge Marshall was and is all Democrat. It was, at least, remarkable that he was one of the few non-Republican lawyers elevated to the Federal bench in the Nixon Administration, because he had done what was unthinkable to Illinois Republicans.
