International Washington again urged sanctions against Libya for its purported support of terrorist groups. The United States said it agreed with Israel that the attacks at the Rome and Vienna airports called for international economic and political penalties against Libya by Western European and other countries and not just retaliation by Israel or the United States. [ Page A1, Column 6. ] Libya's influence in Western Europe has begun to weaken as a result of Tripoli's purported sponsorship of terrorism and the decline of oil prices, according to diplomatic and political officials. But they said that some countries, including West Germany and Italy, remain economically tied to Libya and oppose punitive measures against Tripoli. [ A1:4-6. ]

INCOMING LAW SCHOOL DEAN WITH 2 CAREERS
Date: 02 January 1986
When Charles L. Black Jr. was teaching his class in equity at Columbia Law School in the 50's, he once called on a first-year student named Barbara Aronstein. She was stumped, and pleaded the Socratic method's equivalent of the Fifth Amendment. ''Unprepared, sir,'' she said. Thirty years after that inauspicious start, Barbara Aronstein Black has been called on again at Columbia Law School. This time, however, the questioner was not the man she later married, but the institution itself asking her to take its helm. And this time, she was clearly prepared with an answer: ''Yes.''

By midafternoon on New Year's Eve the newsroom of The Columbus Citizen-Journal in Columbus, Ohio, was silent after publication that morning of the newspaper's last issue. The Citizen-Journal lost its place as the city's morning paper to The Columbus Dispatch, a larger-circulation evening daily that switched to morning publication Jan. 1. Efforts by Scripps-Howard Newspapers, the chain that owns The Citizen-Journal, to sell the unprofitable paper by its Jan. 1 deadline were unsuccessful, despite a dramatic last-minute effort by an Ohio businessman to raise enough money to keep it going. But in two other cities where second-ranked newspapers are fighting for their lives, the prospects of survival seem brighter.

ERRING TEST MISSILE TAKEN MOSTLY IN STRIDE IN FLORIDA AREA TIED TO MILITARY
Date: 03 January 1986
By Jon Nordheimer, Special To the New York Times
Jon Nordheimer
When the Pentagon disclosed plans for a series of test flights of unarmed Tomahawk cruise missiles over the Florida Panhandle and southern Alabama, it said the odds against a malfunctioning missile's raining death and destruction on the populace below were a quadrillion to one. So it was with a measure of discomfort that the public learned that in the very first of 40 or more tests planned, a Tomahawk went astray. Passing over the coast at subsonic speeds after it was launched Dec. 8 from a nuclear submarine in the Gulf of Mexico, the missile veered miles off course. Chase planes aborted the missile's flight by activating a parachute.

Mr. Gorbachev's Watch in Afghanistan
Date: 02 January 1986
Of Mikhail Gorbachev's inheritances, the sorriest is the war in Afghanistan, begun by Leonid Brezhnev six years ago and implacably pressed by two aging successors. The Kremlin insists that ''foreign intervention'' perpetuates the conflict. But that fiction finds no takers outside the Soviet bloc, as shown by repeated votes at the United Nations.
