At least 33 daily newspapers are published in Mexico City, but when the newest, Reforma, first hit the streets last month, it was all alone. On that day, Nov. 20, Mexico commemorates the start of its 1910 Revolution. Newspapers are neither published nor distributed. Newsstands are not even open.

ROGER KAHN bounded about the well-lighted study of his hilltop home here with deft moves. Once a prep school third baseman, at 66 he remains athletic and sure. He reached for memorabilia to show a visitor, who was seated at Mr. Kahn's 1959 Olympia manual typewriter, the instrument he used in 1972 to elevate the game of baseball to American literature in "The Boys of Summer," the same one he used to write a new and controversial book about New York's golden age of baseball -- 1947 through 1957 -- called "The Era."

The Hewlett-Packard Company is planning a new series of powerful chips costing as little as $25, a tenth the price of the current best-selling microprocessor, for use in desktop work stations and peripherals. It plans to start shipments next year. Five new members of Hewlett-Packard's PA-RISC chip family are scheduled to be announced tomorrow. Their low prices may stimulate their use in other products, like fax machines and printers from partners that include the Oki Electric Industry Company and Hitachi Ltd.

The story has moved off the front page. It is approaching the limits of the public's attention span for even the most unrelenting horrors. The United States Government has made a policy decision to ignore it. But Serbian fascism is still taking its toll in Bosnia. Serbs are shooting other human beings, shelling them, starving them and seeing that they die of the cold, for only one reason: because they are not Serbs.

A media watchdog group has charged that the executive producer of the ABC News program "20/20" kept producers on his program from investigating stories about dangers of nuclear energy and other environmental hazards because his wife is a public relations executive with clients in the energy industry. The group, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, or FAIR, which advocates a liberal agenda in its criticism of the media, issued a report today that cites several instances in which it says Victor Neufeld, the executive producer of "20/20" since 1987, either discouraged or rejected stories related to risks of nuclear energy and other environmental issues. The report also points out that Lois Neufeld runs a company that represents, among others, the United States Council for Energy Awareness, a group that supports the use of nuclear energy.

In a World Cup simulation today at Stanford Stadium, Germany used its heads to score two goals, its feet to kick American shins and were still maligned for it. Either they win by five goals, or it is national catastrophe. And since their margin of victory this afternoon was only 3-0 -- over the pitiable Americans, no less -- the predictable result was a shoving match outside the locker room. The fracas pitted Lothar Matthaus, a star player, against members of the German news media, who expected more of a rout today. Upset with what he called their negativity, he declined all interviews and ultimately shoved a German reporter.

MANY analysts say they believe consumer interest in the cornucopia of on-line information services -- weather, real estate listings, data bases, bulletin boards, electronic newspapers, horoscopes and stock quotes -- will not grow unless subscribers have easier ways to get access to and retrieve the information they need.

THE news about the company seemed sure to depress its stock price. But did the company's top officers know that, when some of them sold their entire stock holdings just days before the news reached the general public? Biocraft Laboratories Inc., a generic-drug maker, is under scrutiny by the Food and Drug Administration over problems in documenting quality control at a major plant. When the news was announced on Nov. 22 in The Wall Street Journal, the stock price dropped $4.38, to $25.13 a share. By last Friday, the stock had fallen to $20.25 a share.
