SCIENTISTS rarely make exaggerated claims when reporting their results in the scientific literature because it is poor etiquette and likely to provoke the scorn of their peers. But news releases are a different matter. When speaking to the public, some scientists, in conjunction with their institution's press office, are willing to make much bolder claims for their work. A recent announcement from a respected scientific institute in California seemed to promise a cure for cancer: a single injection of either of two proteins had been found to cut off the blood supply to many kinds of tumors, causing them to shrink away while leaving normal tissue to thrive.

It is a measure of Le Monde's established place in France's political and intellectual world that as soon as the daily newspaper said it would change its design to make its pages more readable, it felt the need to reassure readers that it would not change that much. It has kept its word. Just two weeks after the 50th anniversary of its founding, the new Le Monde appeared on the stands today with the same logo and size as before, carrying its customary cartoon on the front page as well as inside pages of news and analysis uninterrupted by any photographs.

TWO journalists remembered war and the courage of colleagues in separate conversations recently. They were describing the men and women who risked their lives and drew international attention during the siege of Sarajevo by publishing a newspaper every day. Their recollections were shaped by whether they were inside looking out or outside looking in. Tom Gjelten sat down here in the studios of National Public Radio, which sent him to Sarajevo as a correspondent. While there he came to know and eventually to chronicle the story of the Muslim, Serb and Croat journalists who worked at Oslobodjenje, the city's main newspaper.

A Chinese journalist who was tried in secret and sentenced in November to six years in prison is being punished for reporting a sensitive but open secret about who rules China, court documents show. The 50-year-old journalist, Gao Yu, was arrested on Oct. 2, 1993, as she prepared to leave China for an academic year at Columbia University. She had written a series of articles earlier that year reporting that President Jiang Zemin, General Secretary of the Communist Party and Commander in Chief of China's armed forces, does not have ultimate power as long as other "senior comrades" like Deng Xiaoping are alive and that China's Parliament remains a rubber stamp for decisions made by the Communist Party's governing Central Committee.
