Israel marked the anniversary of its invasion of Lebanon today by bringing to a climax an intensive weeklong reexamination of the war, in which most of the major decision-makers have been interviewed by Israeli newspapers, radio and television. The arguments have been familiar, the revelations tending to support the picture of a military machine hurtling forward beyond the control of the Cabinet. Predictably, former Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, the chief architect of the war's ambitious political and military goals, said in several interviews that he would do it all again in the same way if he had a second chance. He accused other Government ministers of trying to evade their responsibility as the war has become less popular.

The verdict delivered yesterday by a Los Angeles jury in favor of CBS News is a major victory for the network at a time when its journalistic practices have been under fire. By finding in favor of CBS, the jury accepted the accuracy and fairness of the ''60 Minutes'' report ''It's No Accident'' and rejected charges of recklessness against Dan Rather, now the anchor of the ''CBS Evening News,'' and his producer, Stephen Glauber. The case, which was given extensive publicity, could create aftershocks for broadcast journalism in general, as well as for CBS News and ''60 Minutes,'' the most popular program on television. There could also be reverberations for Dan Rather himself, whose job hinges on his credibility and integrity.

JURY FINDS FOR CBS AND RATHER IN SLANDER CASE
Date: 07 June 1983
Special to the New York Times
A Los Angeles Superior Court jury today decided in favor of CBS, Dan Rather and Stephen Glauber, a CBS producer, in a slander suit that had been brought by a doctor who said a 1979 ''60 Minutes'' segment wrongly linked him to insurance fraud. The nine-woman, three-man panel, which was polled by Judge Jack W. Swink, voted 10 to 2 in favor of the defendants after three days of deliberations. Under California law, a nine-vote majority is required for a decision in a civil case. Outside the courtroom, David Campbell, the 28-year-old foreman of the jury, said, ''We were trying to figure out what was in Dan Rather's mind at the time of the broadcast, and most of us did not feel he had acted in reckless disregard for the truth.'' Mr. Campbell, an employee of Hughes Aircraft, said of the doctor who filed the suit, Carl A. Galloway, ''It's a very sad thing for him, but we have to do what we think is right.''

REWARD OFFER IN L.I. KILLING OPENS DEBATE

As a gatherer of news, a newspaper or a television station is widely expected to be an impartial observer of its community. As a business operation, an employer and producer, it is also a member of that community. Sometimes the roles seem to intertwine and to create journalistic ambiguities. That has been the case for Newsday, the Long Island newspaper, in the weeks after the murder of Christopher Gruhn, a 14-year-old Rockville Centre boy who was stabbed to death March 20 as he was delivering copies of the Sunday paper. As a news organization, the newspaper reported the murder; as an employer, it posted a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case. Later it raised the reward to $100,000.

From the neck up, Rawson Stovall looks like Dennis the Menace, his favorite cartoon character, blond with bright eyes and an impish smile. From the neck down, however, he looks every bit the professional that he is, dressed in a navy blazer, gray slacks, a tie and tassel loafers, with note pad and pen in hand. Rawson, a columnist with Universal Press Syndicate, is 11 years old. His weekly column, ''The Vid Kid,'' appears in 11 newspapers, and he is aiming for 100 by the end of the year.

RUMOR SPARKS A FEW CHOICE WORDS
Date: 07 June 1983
Special to the New York Times
Sometimes even a rumor about a former colleague can touch off an outpouring of give-and-take in the House of Representatives. Take the recent case involving former Representative Robert K. Dornan, a conservative California Republican who, while in Congress from 1977 to 1983, often riled colleagues with his pronouncements on a variety of issues. In debate over basing of the MX missile, word began spreading through the chamber and cloakrooms that President Reagan would appoint Mr. Dornan as a special consultant to the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. The source: an article in The Long Beach (Calif.) Press-Telegram.

SHULTZ FINDS HE'S NO LONGER IMMUNE TO CRITICISM
Date: 07 June 1983

As George P. Shultz approaches his first anniversary as Secretary of State, he is finding he has lost his immunity from criticism within the Administration and has had to respond to what one aide called ''sniping that sometimes resembles artillery shelling.'' All this is fairly new to Mr. Shultz, whose previous tours in Government, as Secretary of Labor, Secretary of the Treasury and director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Nixon Administration were remarkably free from attack. But after nearly 11 months as Secretary of State, Mr. Shultz, like many of his predecessors, is reading quotations in the newspapers from anonymous White House and Defense Department officials criticizing him for being too easygoing and the State Department for being slow moving and ineffective. And Mr. Shultz, who was being criticized a few months ago for not traveling enough, is now being chided, as he departs tomorrow for a routine spring meeting of NATO ministers, for leaving Washington too often. In some ways, Mr. Shultz's dilemma is similar to the one faced by Cyrus R. Vance, President Carter's Secretary of State. The two men are by nature low-key, reserved, and more interested in quiet diplomacy and in negotiating accords than in publicly espousing their points of view.

One of Governor Cuomo's early initiatives to restructure part of the government - to take control of the board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority - was stymied even before his staff finished drafting the legislation. The plan was met with indifference by the public, ridicule by Mayor Koch and opposition of one sort or another from suburban legislators and the chairman of the M.T.A., all of whom argued that the current setup was better than what the Governor wanted. It is not at all clear that Mr. Cuomo had a strategy to see his plan through. Legislators, transit officials and other close watchers of the Governor are raising such questions as these: - Why did he send up a plan that he knew, or should have known, would be widely denounced?

International Nicaragua ousted three U.S. envoys, accusing them of working with the C.I.A. to build an organization of ''terrorist commando squads.'' One of the diplomats was charged with overseeing ''a macabre plot'' to kill or incapacitate the Foreign Minister. The American Embassy rejected the accusations ''in most emphatic terms.'' (Page A1, Columns 4-5.) Many Africans will starve to death because of the drought affecting 18 countries, according to American and international relief officials. They said the region faced the worst food shortages since the early 1970's, when at least 200,000 to 300,000 died from starvation. (A1:2-4.)

International Shifts in American arms control plans were indicated by President Reagan to his top national security aides, according to Administration officials. They said that Mr. Reagan had indicated he would modify his proposal for the Soviet Union to make deep cuts in long-range missiles, but continue to insist on a one-third cut in missile warheads. (Page A1, Column 6.) 21 Nicaraguan consular officials were ordered expelled by Washington in retaliation for the expulsion Monday of three United States diplomats from Nicaragua. In addition, the Reagan Administration ordered the closing of all six Nicaraguan consulates in this country. (A1:5.) Covert aid to Nicaraguan rebels would be halted under a Democratic proposal adopted by the House Foreign Affairs Committee by a largely party-line vote of 20 to 14. (A1:3-4.)
