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.

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.

Business Week magazine appeared a step closer today to publishing an article based on sealed court documents in a lawsuit between the Procter & Gamble Company and the Banker's Trust Company. Since Sept. 12, Business Week has been barred from publishing information from the documents. The Federal judge who issued that order, John Feikens, indicated in a hearing today that he would allow Procter & Gamble to amend its suit in a way that would in effect open the documents, which include information that Bankers Trust prefers remain private.

Continental Airlines Inc. said yesterday that it had paid $50.5 million to buy all warrants held by the Air Canada Corporation for the future purchase of Continental common stock. Air Canada, which is based in Montreal, said it would record a third-quarter gain of $43.3 million on the sale. All figures are in United States dollars. In connection with the warrant purchase, Continental Airlines paid an additional $5 million waiver fee to a major Air Canada creditor. Continental also said it would take a $5 million charge in the third quarter. The sale of the warrants does not affect Air Canada's ownership of 18.5 percent of Continental's outstanding stock or its voting rights stake of 23.8 percent.

Merry-Go-Round Enterprises said yesterday that it does not expect confirmation of its reorganization plan by Monday, as originally planned. The company, which is based in Joppa, Md., said its creditors and stockholders have agreed not to file an amended plan until at least Jan. 31. Merry-Go-Round filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 1994, after a series of fashion mistakes caused sales to plunge. It operates several retail clothing chains, including Merry-Go-Round and Attivo.

The United Healthcare Corporation won antitrust clearance from the Justice Department yesterday for its $1.65 billion acquisition of the Metrahealth Companies. The Government gave its nod to the merger on the condition that Metrahealth carry through with an announced plan to sell its health maintenance organization in St. Louis. United Healthcare said it had now received all required regulatory approvals for the merger, and that it could complete the merger as early as next week. The Government's concerns were resolved when the companies reached an agreement with Missouri state authorities to sell Metrahealth's St. Louis subsidiary to preserve competition for health maintenance organizations in that city, the department said. Metrahealth is based in Greenwich, Conn.

SBC Communications Inc. said yesterday that it would take a non-cash charge of $2.8 billion in the third quarter to accelerate the depreciation of its plant and equipment. The company said the after-tax charge would amount to $4.67 a share, and analysts said it would result in a loss for the year. The charge adjusts the book value of the company's plant and equipment by increasing depreciation at the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, the local phone unit of SBC. SBC is the last of the seven Baby Bells to change its accounting rules to reflect a changing regulatory environment and increased competition in the $90 billion local phone market.
