The Daily News and its 700 striking drivers made no progress toward a contract settlement this week, despite two consecutive negotiating sessions with a Federal mediator, union officials reported yesterday. "It was a total bust," said Theodore W. Kheel, the lawyer who is the principal adviser to the Allied Printing Trades Council, which represents the nine unions that struck The News six weeks ago.

The Daily News tried a new tack in its six-week struggle to restore its circulation yesterday, printing 30,000 copies of an afternoon edition of the newspaper aimed at homeward-bound rail and bus commuters. Striking union leaders promptly dismissed it as a publicity stunt. As hawkers sold the blue-bordered "PM Edition," rumors swirled that management was pushing hard for a settlement with the 700-member local of the Newspaper and Mail Deliverers Union of New York and Vicinity, the first of the nine unions that struck The News beginning on Oct. 25.

A Federal district judge ruled today that his court's transcripts of tapes acquired by the Cable News Network containing prison conversations of Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega should be made public. But the judge, William M. Hoeveler, said he would not release the transcripts until Thursday, allowing CNN time to appeal his decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, in Atlanta. Terry Bienstock, a CNN lawyer, said he did not know whether there would be an appeal. Judge Hoeveler's ruling was a response to four news organizations that asked for access to the transcripts last week, saying the public had a right to know the factual basis of a case that had tested the constitutional limits of prior restraint. In opposing the request, CNN had argued that release of the transcripts would be an "intrusion into the news-gathering and news-editing process."

The Cable News Network will allow court transcripts of tape recordings of Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega in prison to be made public, the network said today. Judge William Hoeveler of Federal district court here ruled on Tuesday that the transcripts could be released Thursday, unless the network decided to take the case to a higher court. "CNN has decided not to appeal," said Terry Bienstock, a lawyer for the network. Sanford Bohrer, a lawyer for four news organizations that asked for the transcripts of General Noriega's conversations with members of his legal team, applauded the network's decision. "I think it was the right decision because Judge Hoeveler's was the right decision," he said. The news organizations seeking the recordings were The Miami Herald, The Associated Press, television station WPLG-TV of Miami, and the Gannett Company, which owns USA Today. They argued the public had a right to examine the content of tapes that set off a free-speech controversy that went to the Supreme Court.

It's a contemporary image of the American family: children eating dinner in front of the television set, Mom and Dad drifting through the kitchen at whatever odd hours they come home from work to fix individual meals, the nuclear family reduced to bouncing particles. But the image may be all wrong. According to a New York Times / CBS News poll, the vast majority (80 percent) of Americans with children say that on a typical weeknight most of their family eats dinner together.

A fake issue of the student newspaper at the State University of New York at Binghamton threw the campus into turmoil yesterday with front-page headlines announcing "U.S. Invades Iraq" and "SUNY Binghamton Students Drafted." The bogus issue, using the logo and format of Pipe Dream, which is published twice a week, was distributed across campus yesterday morning. Editors of Pipe Dream said a student group, Looking Left, known for its radical politics, had produced it to make an anti-war statement.

Coast Savings Financial Inc., the parent of the nation's 10th-largest savings institution, said it did not expect to meet a new Government requirement for financial strength and that Federal regulators had placed restrictions on its operations. Coast said bids for 27 branches of its Coast Federal Bank it had put up for sale were lower than expected and that it would not sell its eight branches in central California. Without the sales, the company said, it expected to fall short of the Government's new requirement for risk-based capital. Analysts had estimated that the sales would bring a gain of about $60 million. Coast, based in Los Angeles, said Federal regulators plan to restrict its ability to increase its liabilities and will require the company to file a plan within 60 days detailing how it plans to meet the capital requirements.

The Eastman Kodak Company said it was considering forming a joint venture between its Sterling Drug subsidiary and the French drug company Sanofi S.A. A Kodak spokesman, Paul Allen, confirmed the talks but said they had not progressed to the stage of an agreement. Kodak acquired Sterling for $5.1 billion in 1987. The company makes Bayer aspirin, Phillips' milk of magnesia, Midol pain relievers and other over-the-counter products. Its best-selling prescription drug is Omnipaque, which highlights body organs during X-rays and CAT scans. But analysts have said that Sterling has not produced the new drugs or financial returns Kodak expected. The Wall Street Journal reported that sources close to the talks said an agreement could be reached by the end of the year. Mr. Allen would not comment. Ronald Nordmann, a securities analyst at Paine Webber, said Sterling's established credibility with doctors in the United States would be important for Sanofi. Kodak's stock was up 37.5 cents a share today, to $41.875, on the New York Stock Exchange.
