For Britain's navy, the Falkland Islands crisis represents its greatest effort since World War II. For John Woodward, the confrontation constitutes the biggest challenge of his life. As the fleet steams steadily toward the South Atlantic, Rear Adm. J.F. Woodward, a veteran of 36 years in the Royal Navy who may celebrate his approaching 50th birthday in the South Atlantic, stands on the bridge of the Hermes as commander of the British flotilla, his career at almost as critical a turning point as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's. By all accounts, Admiral Woodward is among the finest that the Royal Navy had to offer, a thoroughly modern officer whose training reflects the best of modern warfare and of Britain's centuries of naval tradition. Meanwhile, he has displayed sufficient bureaucratic skills to have climbed steadily through a series of sea-based and land-based jobs without discernibly ruffling any feathers.

In a brief statement, Coca-Cola said its agreement in principle to acquire Outlet had been canceled after ''an evaluation of an audit of Outlet and a review of Outlet's business.''

Prime Minister Menachem Begin has embarked on a strategy of brinkmanship, both in the process of peace with Egypt and the prospect of war with the Palestine Liberation Organization in southern Lebanon. Pressures are building in his Government for tough action on both fronts: postponing the April 25 withdrawal from Sinai and invading Lebanon. So far, the Prime Minister has withstood the angry and fearful counsel of some of his Cabinet members, turning their anxiety to some advantage in a complex diplomatic game. But there is some question about his ability or willingness to contain the boiling emotions of his countrymen, especially on the issue of Sinai.

Judge Lawrence Nicholas Martin Jr. is a quiet jurist, a hard worker and a disciplinarian who ''runs a good courtroom,'' as one colleague put it. But he is also no stranger to controversy. Last January, when he was assigned to the Luis Marin case, a lawyer who is familiar both with the ways of the Westchester County Courthouse and with Judge Martin's position as one of the few Democrats in a largely Republican judiciary, had this theory: ''It's a weak case, and he is more likely than anyone to throw it out -and if he does, it won't hurt some Republican's chance to run for Supreme Court.'' The lawyer was at least partly right; Judge Martin did dismiss the charges today.

The trustee of the Advent Corporation, a Portsmouth, N.H., maker of stereo speakers and large-screen televisions that has been operating under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code since March 17, 1981, said he had concluded that there is ''no realistic possibility'' for reorganization of the company or other similar financial arrangement that would give any return to its shareholders. The trustee, Frederic T. Hersey, noted that his conclusion does not affect an agreement reached earlier this month under which International Jensen Inc., a unit of Esmark Inc., agreed to acquire Advent's audio business and brand name. In February, the Kloss Video Corporation dropped plans to acquire Advent, a company that had been founded by its president, Herbert Kloss, in 1976.

There it was, the ultimate urban nightmare played out for real in a West Side parking lot. Three men, picking up their cars after a day's work at a television network, came upon a woman in distress. A man appeared to be dragging her off. She seemed to be unconscious, or worse. So the three men intervened. But the attacker, like so many people in the city, had a weapon - a .22-caliber pistol - ''light, accurate, efficient,'' in the words of James T. Sullivan, Chief of Detectives. The attacker proceeded to murder his three unwanted witnesses - one shot each, in the head.

Fifteen years ago the nation was engaged in a debate over how poor people should be helped, whether they should be given cash or such noncash benefits as food, medical care and housing, in addition to their relatively meager welfare payments. The ''give-them-cash'' approach, which would have involved a negative income tax or other device, lost out. There was a massive increase in noncash benefits, from $2.2 billion in 1965 to $27.8 billion in 1980, even when the effect of inflation was excluded. But the benefits were handed out under so many different complicated programs that neither the Government nor anyone else was able to determine, as they might have under a simple cash distribution effort, what impact they had made on poverty.
