MOST New Year's resolutions are made to be broken. But there is one promise all women should make and keep: To give the phrase "the glass ceiling" a decent burial. Women have clearly emerged in the business world, rendering obsolete this metaphor for limits on their progress.
But work still remains. For despite their advances, women executives are still not very visible in the news media. This creates another ceiling that women must overcome.

Woke up the other morning, turned on the TV, they were doing colon cancer. Turned off the TV. Started the coffee, got the paper off the front steps, Page One was doing blood: not enough being donated. Worried awhile about whether there'd be enough life-saving hospital blood in case some luckless devil got an artery accidentally severed while cutting his breakfast grapefruit.

WHEN an advertisement questioning the existence of the Holocaust appeared in The Observer, the student-run daily newspaper at Notre Dame, Paul Peralez, a junior, decided to take action. He walked into the newspaper office and demanded the resignation of the editor in chief and launched a petition drive in protest of the ad.
"This is totally unacceptable at a university that is supposed to be concerned about the moral and intellectual growth of their students," said Mr. Peralez, who is Catholic but said he was outraged by what he regarded as the anti-Semitism behind the ad. "How can any serious scholar even entertain the notion that the Holocaust never happened?"

What's Pink And Sells Papers?

A fuchsia newsstand, shaped like a miniature house with a peaked roof, has been sitting shuttered outside a Wendy's restaurant on Seventh Avenue off 42d Street for the last three weeks. Six similar structures, in hues of "shell, Maltese and Egyptian," have sprouted along the Avenue of the Americas.
They are the city's new designer newsstands, created by Patsy Norvell, an artist, and Frances Halsband, an architect. They won a 1986 newsstand-design competition sponsored by the Public Art Fund of New York. As part of reconstruction of the Avenue of the Americas, the Department of Transportation paid $33,000 each for eight of these stands. (One is still in storage.) While operators must usually buy newsstands from the city, these were given to those who had to move because of construction.

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani named a 38-year-old labor lawyer who was a high-ranking prosecutor in the Reagan Justice Department to be his Labor Commissioner yesterday, a crucial post for the new Mayor given his campaign promise to wring concessions from municipal unions. Union leaders reacted with cautious optimism to the appointment of Randy L. Levine, who has a reputation as a hard-nosed but honest negotiator for professional sports teams and garment companies.

Figure-Skating Drama Far Bigger Than the Rink

By Neil Amdur

Even as figure skating has moved into the forefront as a prime-time attraction, the sport has maintained a pattern that seems constructed from afternoon soap operas. This week's attack on Nancy Kerrigan, one of America's leading candidates for an Olympic gold medal, is the latest episode in skating's often turbulent world. With Kerrigan out of the United States championships, which concluded last night, the question of whether to grant her an automatic berth and await her ultimate fitness to compete in Lillehammer, Norway, has again given the sport a dramatic subplot that intrigues outsiders.

Sports of The Times; In the New America, Pirouettes Win Out

ONE of the most optimistic facts I have heard about my country of birth in recent months is that more people would rather watch Tonya Harding land a triple axel than watch Bobby Knight kick his son. The encouraging sign of the maturation of America was found in the television ratings of last autumn, when more people watched an 8-month-old tape of the world figure-skating championships from Prague than the live broadcast of Kentucky-Indiana basketball.
