DRUNKEN DRIVING FACES A NEMESIS

Date: 22 November 1981

THE swerving traces of taillights, the squawking of police-band radios, the eerie reflections of flashing lights, the twisted wreckage, the innocent victim - these are some of the sights and sounds of Paul Cicarelli's Saturday-night world. For the last two years Mr. Cicarelli, a photojournalist, has risked his life and perhaps financial ruin to find out more about the Long Island drunken driver. Mr. Cicarelli has chronicled some of his findings, and they will be presented Tuesday night at 10 P.M. on Channel 21 in a half-hour documentary called ''Drunk Driving: The American Tragedy.'' ''The Department of Transportation has estimated that over 50 percent of all car crashes are alcohol-related,'' said Mr. Cicarelli, surrounded by a wall of television monitors, shortwave radios and videotape machines in his Oyster Bay home. ''I'm more inclined to put it at 80 percent.''

To the Editor: Mr. Stockman continues to have faith in the soundness of the basic supply-side theory, saying, ''I believe, absolutely believe . . . that incentive affects economic behavior and that if you improve the incentive . . . you're going to get a higher standard of living'' (news story Nov. 13).Mr. Stockman is also courageous enough to ask himself where things went wrong. His conclusion, as reported by William Greider in The Atlantic Monthly: ''The reason we did it wrong - not wrong, but less than optimum - was that we said, 'Hey, we have to get a program out fast' . . . and we didn't think it all the way through. . . . We were doing it so fast we didn't know where we were ending up for sure.'' In the light of the fact that any incentive for economic growth is in part an incentive to make bigger decisions in shorter periods of time, we might all reconsider the validity of Mr. Stockman's absolute belief in economic incentives.

GIFTS BIG AND SMALL TO U.S. OFFICIALS

Date: 22 November 1981

To the Editor: The recent news stories concerning a payment of $1,000 to Richard Allen, President Reagan's national security adviser, by a Japanese magazine representative, reportedly for his assistance in arranging an interview for the magazine with Mrs. Reagan, illustrates how the simple reporting of one outrageous wrong is made to appear complicated and argumentative by further, in-depth reporting on why the payment was made and for what purpose. I believe The Times has reported that the taking of gifts by Government officials is prohibited by regulation. Thus, the taking is the fault, no matter what the reason.

Many bishops and others present at last week's meeting of the Roman Catholic hierarchy of the United States say they believe it was a remarkable turning point in the American church's stance on a cluster of social issues. In the meeting, the bishops took a new and riskier course of action. A trio of themes, enunciated by Archbishop John R. Roach in his address as president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, are central to the new agenda. They include full-fledged opposition to nuclear weapons, specific legal tactics for attacking abortion and determination to fight for the poor affected by Reagan Administration budget cuts.

Many of the people who follow the affairs of Northern Ireland regard the situation there now as one of the gravest crises it has seen in years. On the Roman Catholic side, the Irish Republican Army has significantly stepped up the level of its violence by murdering an Ulster Member of Parliament. On the Protestant side, there is a new sense of rage and frustration, reflected by the random killings of Catholics in recent days and by the furious mob attack last week on James Prior, the British Cabinet Minister responsible for the province. There is more and more talk about private armies to fight against the Catholic gunmen. The British Government, in the middle as usual, has reacted with more troops, more police searches and unusually strong words about ''the rule of law.'' But the mood is grim.

It was an odd choice that Danville, Va., faced in December 1979 for polluting the air from its coal-burning power plant: pay a stiff fine or sponsor a $10,000 study of the sex life of loggerhead turtles. The City Council agreed to the study at the suggestion of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency.

International A new phase in U.S.-Soviet relations that will be marked less by polemics and more by concrete discussions of arms control and other issues is expected by the Reagan Administration, and it has told the allied governments of the prospective change. In briefings for diplomats and journalists, the Administration has stressed that it believes there are good chances for progress in Soviet-American relations in specific areas. (Page 1, Cols. 4-5.) A huge iron cage in a Cairo courtroom held 23 of the 24 Moslem fundamentialists on the opening day of their military trial on charges of murder and conspiracy in the assassination of President Anwar el-Sadat on Oct. 6. One of the defendants is in a hospital. Four are charged specifically with murdering Mr. Sadat. (17:1.)
