...Information Ministry and the headquarters of An Nahar, the newspaper of record for the entire Arab world. Last week, on its 50th anniversary, it was unable to pub lish for the first time. Inside the An Nahar building, the offices of several American news organizations, including United Press International, Newsweek and the Los Angeles Times, were damaged or destroyed by phosphorus bombs. In late afternoon, Israeli artillery fire hit the Commodore Hotel, where many foreign correspondents were staying...
...entirely a surprise to Newsweek 's Moscow Bureau Chief Andrew Nagorski, 35, when he was summoned to the Foreign Ministry press office early last week. Nagorski, a veteran Asia hand, speaks Russian with ease, unlike most of the other 25 U.S. correspondents in the U.S.S.R., and has shown a flair for finding stories that irk the sensibilities of the Kremlin. This month, for instance, Newsweek carried Nagorski's report on the anxieties of draft-age youths in Tajikistan, a republic bordering the Soviet client government of parlous Afghanistan. Earlier he had detailed the fondness of ranking bureaucrats...
...State Department retaliated for the ouster. Last week it barred re-entry to the U.S. by Melor Sturua, the vacationing chief Washington correspondent for the Soviet newspaper Izvestiya.

...opinion molders on the right. Instead, it has removed their favorite target, forcing them to aim somewhat reluctantly at Reagan himself. Columnist Will had greeted Haig's appointment as "The Right Man for the Job" ("Boy, was I wrong about that," he says now). But in a Newsweek column, Will last month denounced "Haigism" as softness in foreign affairs. He knew who was finally responsible: "Reagan has had less impact on foreign policy than any modern President (Ford excepted)." When it came to the President personally, however, Will was circumspect: "Reagan has not devoted the energy necessary to imposing...
Broyles will bring a sharply different editorial personality to Newsweek. In a memo announcing the appointment, Graham praised his "proven creativity in editorial direction ... and his innovation in editing and graphics." Graham's description may be apt. Colleagues depict Broyles as an editor with panache, drive and moxie. He is no child of the counterculture. A student-body president at Rice University and a Marine Corps combat officer in Viet Nam, he is more middle of the road in his politics than in his aggressive editing instincts. In 1972 he became editor of the fledgling Texas Monthly and helped...
