The Indonesian Government is purging the nation's newspapers and magazines of reporters who write critically about the Government, destroying the careers of some of the nation's best-known journalists and drawing protests from the United States and other foreign Governments. Last month, the Government arrested several members of the Alliance of Independent Journalists, a group formed last August to challenge the censorship policies of President Suharto. At least two of the reporters are still in detention on charges of "insulting the Government," a crime that can carry a prison sentence of up to seven years.

THE LAST THING THIS COUNTRY NEEDS IS one more victim, but I'm afraid the victims will have to move over and make room for me. Nothing sordid, not a scintilla of titillation. I carry no childhood scars. My welts, all relatively new, have been acquired in my professional, not my personal, life. I love to write. I would write in the shower if someone ever came out with a laptop on a rope. But what to write about in these times? What is there in my imagination to rival the theatrics of reality? Would I dare contrive a story wherein Kobe, Japan, is all but wiped out exactly one year to the day after the quake that devastated Los Angeles? Could I dream up a scenario that depicted the ongoing destruction of the jungles of Brazil? One that showed people using the Amazon forest for kindling? Just to make room for cattle to graze? Torching and decimating one of the wonders of the planet so that we can have our uninterrupted supply of Big Macs? Could I conceive of a religious cult that accumulates enough toxic material to kill 100 million people, after getting high on a sip of their leader's bath water? Can I compete with that kind of drama -- drama that so finely mixes tragedy and absurdity?

Starting today, the Magazine welcomes two new columnists, James Gleick and Michael Lewis, each to appear monthly. Fast Forward, Jim Gleick's commentary on technology and the future, appears on page 20. Next Sunday, in the same space, Michael Lewis will begin The Capitalist, a column on money and American life. For Jim Gleick, the new column renews a regular relationship with The Times, where he was a highly regarded reporter and editor for 10 years before leaving to write books. He quickly made a name for himself as an author. "Chaos: Making a New Science," published in 1987, has been translated into more than 20 languages. It, and his 1992 book, "Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman," were nominated for the National Book Award. Nearly two years ago, he started the Pipeline, an Internet access service and software company and was its president until the company's sale in February.

"PRODUCTION MUSIC," ALWAYS IN the background of television and radio, rarely grabs attention. But the stormy motif that frames the O. J. Simpson trial coverage on CNN has, like Kato Kaelin and Kato the Akita, stepped out of anonymity into stardom. So many viewers have inquired about the track that CNN refers them to Atmosphere, the London music library whence it came. Called "World Conflict," the 10- to 15-second theme was conceived by a British composer, Paul Foss, for a British news program -- and rejected. Before selling O. J., the music was used to sell cars at trade shows.

Corey Flintoff's voice reaches the remote corners of the nation's largest and most sparsely populated state every weekday, delivering the world's news from his desk in the nation's capital. As a newscaster for National Public Radio, Mr. Flintoff is heard in many out-of-the-way places, but none so isolated as the Yupik Eskimo villages of southwest Alaska. In these tiny communities, where children still learn their native language before English and families subsist on fish, game and berries gathered near their homes, public radio is a lifeline, not just to the nation's capital but to family and neighbors.
