But the careful choreography of the veto on Wednesday showed something more: the attention the Clinton Administration is paying to women, who it believes could well decide the outcome of the Presidential election.

Former Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti, already on trial in Sicily on charges of association with the Mafia, went on trial a second time today, this time in Perugia on charges that he ordered the 1979 killing of an Italian journalist. Mr. Andreotti, 77, the wily, enigmatic power-broker who served seven times as Prime Minister and was a symbol of Italy's post-war political order, looked calm and, as usual, impeturbable today as he sat one row in front of a convicted mobster, Pippo Calo, who has also been charged with the murder of Carmine (Mino) Pecorelli, editor of a popular muck-raking magazine.

The Home Shopping Network Inc. said yesterday that the Securities and Exchange Commission had ended a three-year investigation without comment and without taking action against the company, Home Shopping said, after the markets closed. The investigation, which began in 1993, was initiated following shareholder lawsuits and accusations against the company's founder and former chairman, Roy M. Speer. In 1994, a Federal grand jury in Tampa, Fla., closed its investigation into accusations that Mr. Speer had engaged in bribery, soliciting kickbacks, and holding secret interests in company vendors.
