TV View; BRINKLEY'S SHOW HAS YET TO FIND ITSELF
Date: 29 November 1981
By John J. O'Connor
John O'Connor
One day several months ago, David Brinkley abruptly walked out of NBC News, the organization that had made him a television star back in the 1950's as the dour half of the successful Huntley-Brinkley anchorman team. The departure was so swift that NBC's press people had to scurry to begin putting the move in the best possible, or least damaging, light. The inevitable rumors about Mr. Brinkley's motivations included everything from his health to his unhappiness about not being offered a prominent spot on the nightly news when John Chancellor is replaced by Roger Mudd and Tom Brokaw next spring. Mr. Brinkley and the network would say only that the parting was relatively amicable, reflecting his desire for a change, although he had been professing publicly that he thoroughly enjoyed his assignment as host of the weekly ''NBC Magazine.'' In any event, Mr. Brinkley soon signed a contract with ABC News, in the process neatly dispelling those health rumors. And, two weeks ago, ABC News unveiled ''This Week With David Brinkley,'' which is being broadcast every Sunday at 11:30 A.M.
REPORTER'S DISMISSAL IN BRINKS'S CASE DEFENDED

The editor of The Stamford (Conn.) Advocate says that an off-therecord conversation he had with a reporter he dismissed last week had ''confirmed for me that the information we had published'' about the reporter's relationship with a suspect in the Oct. 20 Brink's armored-car holdup ''was inaccurate.'' The newspaper had quoted the reporter, Rita Jensen, as having said she did not know the true identity of her roommate, Katherine Boudin, before Miss Boudin, a member of the Weather Underground, was arrested in the $1.6 million robbery at the Nanuet Mall in Rockland County, N.Y., in which two Nyack police officers and a Brink's guard were slain. Kenneth H. Brief, the executive editor of The Advocate, said Miss Jensen talked with him off the record a week and a half after the robbery. He said he was questioning her about her contention that she had known her roommate only as ''Lynn Adams'' and had learned her real name only through news accounts of the holdup.

After half a century, the mold of British politics has been broken. That conclusion emerged inescapably today from the all but incredible by-election victory scored Thursday at Crosby, in the Liverpool suburbs, by the five-month-old alliance of the Social Democratic and Liberal Parties. Overturning a seemingly inv lnerable Conservative majority of 19,272 at the last general election, Shirley Williams won by 5,289 votes to become the first Social Democrat elected to the House of Commons under the party's own banner. An Awesome Demonstration So awesome was this latest demonstration of the alliance's electoral power that politicians and pundits alike found it difficult to keep their heads. Mrs. Williams's triumph, universally hailed as the most sensational British by-election result of the century, led some newspapers to describe her as the probable successor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Even the hard-headed bookmakers picked the alliance as odds-on favorites for the next general election.

Mr. McNulty, who lived in Oakland, Calif., won $128,410 in the Irish Sweepstakes in 1973. When the United States Internal Revenue Service asked for its cut, about $35,000, the 62-year-old bachelor got his Irish up.

International The makeup of the Sinai peace force may not be decided at a special meeting of the Israeli Cabinet tomorrow. Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir left open the possibility that a decision on participation by Britain, France, Italy and the Netherlands may be postponed. Prime Minister Menachem Begin has expressed opposition to their participation because of their support for positions that Israel views as pro-Palestinian. (Page 1, Col. 6) The perception of the Libyan regime of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi held by the Reagan Administration is deliberately oversimplified, in the view of some of America's West European allies. They say that the Qaddafi regime is more complex and probably less dangerous than Washington will acknowledge, and that the American position could damage Western economic interests in Libyan oil and propel Libya closer toward Moscow. (1:5-6.) A ban against strikes in Poland is being sought by the Communist Party leadership. Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, the Prime Minister and party leader, said that the economy and severe food shortages were worsening primarily because farmers were staging demonstrations and sit-ins and withholding agricultural products to protest low wholesale prices.
