WHEN you get to Heaven, be sure to check out the newsstand. In Heaven, nearly everyone reads The Philadelphia Bulletin. The New York Herald Tribune still reads like literature. The Newark Evening News is the gray lady of the ether, published on a cloud thick with its own air of eminence.

Last spring, Cable News Network decided to introduce an hourlong program to cover world events extensively, with co-anchors in London and Washington, competing directly with the evening newscasts of the broadcast networks. Two months ago, CNN was all set to go, with only one thing holding it up: the O. J. Simpson trial. Such is the golden straitjacket that the Simpson trial has put on CNN. The same constraint to a lesser extent has been felt at the other two channels that have carried virtually every minute of the proceedings in Judge Lance Ito's courtroom: Court TV and E! Entertainment Television.

SINCE the days of Ralph Kramden's Brooklyn apartment and Latka's taxi rides through Manhattan, prime-time television has been fascinated with New York City. It has been less enchanted with journalists, dealing tentatively with the profession, from Lou Grant and his sidekick Mary Richards in their television newsroom in Minneapolis to, well, Lou Grant in his newspaper newsroom in Los Angeles.

EARLY LAST MONTH, a friend of mine who trades bonds on Wall Street phoned to tell me about something she called the Beckner Effect. As I understood her, there was this journalist in Washington named Beckner whom no one on Wall Street had ever laid eyes on but whose articles about Federal Reserve Board policy regularly sent the whole of the multitrillion-dollar American bond market into epileptic convulsions. "You are sitting at your desk and you think you've got the market all figured out," my friend explained, "and then all of a sudden there's one of these kamikaze events. The market dives, 10 lights start to flash and everyone at once is calling to ask you if you saw the Beckner article." A colorful mythology has been created on Wall Street to explain this terrifying invisible force: Beckner has special access to the Fed, Beckner is being used by Alan Greenspan, Beckner is Alan Greenspan. He arrives in the markets like a bolt from the blue and launches his rockets directly onto the neon-green screens on New York trading desks, through something called Market News Service, which, you have to admit, sounds very much like a front for the C.I.A.

Pope John Paul II, whose uncompromising stands asserting traditional moral teachings and Vatican authority have so rattled liberals inside his church and out, will arrive in the United States this week more admired by American Catholics than he was a decade ago. Indeed, his unfavorable rating is so tiny, any secular leader might envy it. According to the latest New York Times / CBS News poll, 67 percent of Roman Catholics hold favorable opinions of the Pope, while a mere 2 percent feel unfavorably disposed. The rest say they are undecided or lack knowledge to make a judgment. The Pope is more popular than he was eight years ago, just before his second visit to America, when 59 percent of American Catholics regarded him favorably.

Pity the Romanian journalist who publishes evidence that a policeman is on the take. Under an amendment to the Criminal Code passed last week, the journalist could serve seven years in jail for insulting a public official, even if the story was true. The amendment awaits the signature of President Ion Iliescu, who is now visiting the United States in search of preferential trading status, among other treasure. The Clinton Administration should take the opportunity to encourage him to scrap this and several other proposed laws that not only revive defamation standards in effect under the dictator Nicolae Ceausescu but stiffen penalties.

In a bid to defuse Nigeria's increasing political tensions, the country's leader, Gen. Sani Abacha, said today that he would commute the death sentences looming for as many as 40 opponents of his military Government and that he would hand over power to an elected government in three years. Making repeated references to foreign friends, whose forbearance he solicited openly, General Abacha seemed to have carefully tailored his early-morning announcement to break the deepening international isolation of Africa's most populous country. Since democratic elections were annulled two years ago, and their apparent winner imprisoned, the Nigerian leader has been increasingly accused of human rights abuses and of denying the country the opportunity for democracy.

The Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, at the center of a debate over whether its monopoly is stifling competition in Japan's telecommunications industry, said last week that it was ready to give rivals full use of its local phone lines. Competing telephone and data communications services will be able to hook up to NTT lines within two years, NTT said. The decision will have a severe impact on NTT's profits, the company said. The company's rivals said the plan did not alter the fact that Nippon still controlled the lines. The lack of details on how much the company plans to charge service operators makes it difficult to assess the benefits, they said.
