THE DOUBLE FIRE
Date: 13 March 1983
We've seen the brains blown from the skull of a Vietnamese and a truck overturn near the Washington Monument when its driver got a bullet in his head. We've seen the sad man leap and the drowning man lose hold of the life preserver. And last week, television viewers in Jacksonville, Ala., saw a drunken man set fire to himself. The scenes were alike in their horror, but the last was different in one particular. Those who filmed that blaze were not just witnesses to tragedy, they were also its stage managers.

International A terror campaign in Lebanon against Palestinian civilians has been going on for the last month, according to refugees and United Nations officials. The goal of the campaign is to force Palestinians to leave the country. They have been subjected to bomb attacks, murders, kidnappings, threatening leaflets and visits in the night by hooded vigilantes. (Page 1, Col. 3.) The United States plans to install a radar system in southern Honduras with the intention of monitoring what the Reagan Administration says are Nicaraguan arms shipments to Salvadoran guerrillas, Honduran sources said.

In the nearly three years that Zimbabwe has been independent, Prime Minister Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo have seemingly fulfilled the worst expectations that each has had of the other, reinforcing a history of mutal distrust that goes back two decades. Mr. Nkomo's flight across the Botswana border on foot Tuesday night not only made a pathetic contrast to his triumphal return to what was then Rhodesia in January 1980, when a throng of 150,000 turned out to acclaim him at the start of his campaign for the election that was to dash his political dreams. It also appeared to mean that the longstanding division in the national movement is now beyond healing, in this generation at least. In fact, the country had two national movements and two independence struggles from the time 20 years ago when Mr. Mugabe and others rejected Mr. Nkomo's leadership on the ground he was devious and prone to compromise. The split was papered over when the white minority regime was in its death throes and again after independence when Mr. Mugabe formed a coalition with Mr. Nkomo's party, even though his own Zimbabwe African National Union had won a clear majority in Parliament and a firm grip on power.

''Monitor'' will be seen at 10 tonight on Channel 4.

After a dog had put a letter carrier in the hospital, the postmaster in Asheville, N.C., adopted a system of color-coded mailbox stickers to alert his carriers: red stickers for ''dangerous'' dogs, yellow for ''other.'' Last November the postmaster, William Hoover, warned that residents who failed to control their dogs after three ''incidents'' would not get mail deliveries.
