As a people, Americans are living longer, smoking less, spending more money on books, newspapers and magazines, are less likely to get a divorce or own a gun and more likely to belong to a church. They are even eating more broccoli. These are some of the highlights of the 1994 Statistical Abstract of the United States, a potpourri of facts compiled by the Census Bureau. The report, published annually since 1878, provides a snapshot of changes in American life over 20 or 30 years or more.

The Canadian administrator of Olympia & York Developments Ltd. of Toronto and the company's United States subsidiary have agreed to a truce in their long-running dispute. The administrator, appointed by a court to oversee the parent company while it is in the Canadian equivalent of bankruptcy protection, had sought to dismiss two officers of Olympia & York's United States unit: Richard R. Shinn, the unit's chairman, and Willard C. Butcher, a director. Under an agreement reached last week, the two men will be allowed to keep their jobs for 60 days. The unit agreed not to litigate the matter during that period. The agreement comes as John E. Zuccotti, chief executive of the United States unit, prepares to present the unit's board with a reorganization plan.

The board of the Santa Fe Pacific Corporation refused yesterday to provide the Union Pacific Corporation with information that might justify a higher bid for a merger of the companies. Last week, Santa Fe's board rejected Union Pacific's offer of $18 a share, or about $3.2 billion. The Union Pacific offer was an attempt to derail Santa Fe's agreement to merge with Burlington Northern Inc. in a stock deal valued at $13 a share, or $2.5 billion. On Tuesday, Union Pacific said it might be willing to raise its bid for Santa Fe if it had access to information that would justify a higher price.
