Kenneth Conboy was in his 14th-floor office, which overlooks City Hall, when a telephone call came from Mayor Koch yesterday afternoon. ''Ken, I want you to do this,'' was how Mr. Conboy recalled the Mayor's words as he asked him to become the city's Commissioner of Investigation. ''He said this was a difficult time for the city, that it was something I had to do,'' Mr. Conboy said in an interview. Two hours after the brief telephone conversation, Mr. Conboy's appointment to head the beleaguered Department of Investigation was announced at City Hall by Mr. Koch.

THE DOWNTOWN PRESS: 4 IRREVERENT JOURNALS

Tish Gervais, a downtown nightclub performer, arrived at Area one night not long ago wearing a stole made of newspaper clippings that mentioned her. The authors of the articles were the club's guests of honor: chroniclers of the performers, artists, designers, fashion addicts and the self-styled ''fabulous'' who populate downtown Manhattan and fill the pages of New York City's newly resurgent alternative press. Four monthly periodicals are now competing for the attention of downtown readers and of uptowners who want to know what's going on below 14th Street: Details, Paper, New York Talk and The East Village Eye. Details is primarily a fashion magazine, but it is best known for its extensive coverage of club culture. Paper is a humorous tip sheet that tells where to go, what to buy and what's happening downtown. New York Talk and The East Village Eye are both tabloid-size stapled newspapers; the former is an ad-heavy giveaway, and the latter offers pure-to-the-point-of-insular coverage of the East Village state of mind.

ABC's news program ''Nightline'' won an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award last night for a series of reports on South Africa that the awards jury called ''the most extraordinary television of the year.'' ''Nightline'' was singled out for the gold baton, awarded to the program ''judged to have made the greatest contribution to the public's understanding of important issues or news events,'' for its series of broadcasts last March that brought leaders from opposing sides in the South African conflict together for debate on the nightly program. It was the second consecutive year that ''Nightline'' had won a duPont-Columbia award, given annually for achievement in broadcast journalism.

LACK OF PUBLICITY IS QUESTIONED AFTER COMPANY WITHDREW A DRUG
Date: 06 February 1986
AP
A Senate committee has asked the Food and Drug Administration to explain why it failed to announce to the public that a drug that was for 15 deaths overseas had been taken off the market in the United States by its manufacturer. The prescription drug Merital, an antidepressant that was sold to American patients only since July, was taken off the market in about 75 countries on Jan. 21 by the West German manufacturer, Hoechst-Roussel, A.G. An estimated 100,000 prescriptions of the drug have been written in the United States. In a letter sent to doctors, the company said the drug had been withdrawn because ''we have been informed of an increase in the number of reports of serious hypersensitivity reactions, notably hemolytic anemia'' in Great Britain. The disease, which is sometimes fatal, produces antibodies that attack red blood cells.

NASA EXPANDS SEARCH OF OCEAN SURFACE TO AREA OFF NORTH CAROLINA
Date: 07 February 1986
Special to the New York Times
The search for surface wreckage from the space shuttle Challenger was moved to the coastal waters off North Carolina today, while recovery ships working near the coast of Florida continued to hunt for pieces of wreckage along the ocean bottom. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration had no new reports on whether ships working in deep water, about 40 miles off the coast, were able to identify what could be a key piece of sunken wreckage from the space shuttle Challenger, which exploded Jan. 28 with seven crew members aboard. Four-foot seas, strong winds and rain slowed NASA's efforts to send remote cameras underwater to examine what it believes to be the right-side solid-fuel booster rocket of the shuttle.

AMERICANS CAST NO VOTES BUT A LONG SHADOW OVER THE ELECTION
Date: 06 February 1986
Special to the New York Times
The Philippine presidential campaign began - and nearly ended - on American television. Last Nov. 3, President Ferdinand E. Marcos said on the ABC News program ''This Week'' that he would call for a special election ''to settle all these childish claims to popularity.'' Three months later, after a heated campaign in which issues of vital interest to the United States were highlighted, the last battle between Mr. Marcos and his challenger was over an American television debate. After first agreeing to debate his opponent, Corazon C. Aquino, on the ABC News ''Nightline'' program, Mr. Marcos backed out, citing a law against electioneering on the day before the vote. An ABC News spokesman in New York said Mr. Marcos had ''reneged'' on his agreement to debate, and both candidates subsequently taped separate interviews.
