A Federal jury today denied damages claimed by Hammer DeRoburt, the President of the tiny South Pacific island republic of Nauru, in a $40 million libel suit against a Guam newspaper. The jurors said that an article in The Pacific Daily News linking Mr. DeRoburt to a controversial loan in 1978 had been false and defamatory, but it absolved the newspaper of publishing the article in reckless disregard of the truth. A finding of such ''actual malice'' is necessary for a public figure to recover damages for libel.

Shortly after word came that the cruise ship Achille Lauro had been hijacked, a meeting of family members and friends was convened at the Manhattan home of Leon and Marilyn Klinghoffer. At that time, the couple were two among 440 hostages. Even then, Letty H. Simon, who was among the close friends at that meeting, had an inkling of what might happen. ''I said to Ilsa and Lisa: 'Your parents are the only ones from New York City on board,' '' said Miss Simon, a public-relations consultant who became the family's spokesman and media adviser. 'I have a feeling we're going to be the subject of a lot of media attention.' By daylight it started.''

BRITAIN IN ACCORD WITH U.S. ON FULL ROLE IN 'STAR WARS'

Date: 31 October 1985

Britain's Defense Secretary announced today that he and his American counterpart, Caspar W. Weinberger, had overcome the difficulties blocking Britain's full participation in the Reagan Administration's research program on an antiballistic missile shield. At the conclusion of a two-day gathering of NATO's Nuclear Planning Group, Michael Heseltine, the Defense Secretary, made clear that in a discussion today with Mr. Weinberger he had abandoned a previous demand that British companies be guaranteed a $1.5 billion share in the research program. ''There was no way in which I could negotiate a contract that said X sum to Y company on a specific date,'' said Mr. Heseltine, who suggested that the expected large-scale involvement by British companies would generate lucrative contracts. Mr. Heseltine, who announced the development to reporters after Mr. Weinberger had left for the United States, said both sides would submit the outline of an agreement to their Governments for approval.

WHITE VOTE, BLACK ANGER

The Star, an evening newspaper here, publishes two editions each afternoon, supposed to cater to the differing notions of what is news for blacks and whites. Today, after five by-elections Wednesday in whites-only constituencies, the ''white'' edition led its front page with the results. The ''black'' edition played the elections toward the bottom of the page, focusing instead on the turmoil in segregated black education that has led to a huge boycott of the university-entrance examinations being held across the country this week. That report did not appear at all on the front page of the ''white'' edition.

FOUR SOVIET JOURNALISTS WILL INTERVIEW REAGAN

President Reagan will be interviewed by four Soviet journalists on Thursday, the first President to hold such a meeting since John F. Kennedy in 1961, the White House announced today. Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said the Oval Office interview, at 2 P.M., would be ''a unique and historic opportunity for the President to communicate directly with the people of the Soviet Union.'' ''We hope it is a sign of a new and more open information policy on the part of the Soviet Union,'' said Mr. Speakes, who made it clear the interview was timed to Mr. Reagan's meeting in Geneva in three weeks with Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Soviet leader. White House officials said that a transcript of the interview would probably be made public on Sunday, simultaneous with publication of an account of the interview in Izvestia, the Soviet Government newspaper. They said there were no restrictions on Soviet questions, and no requirement for the Russians to publish a text of the President's remarks.

The Navy Secretary's Upward Loyalty

Date: 01 November 1985

Secretary of the Navy John Lehman says his Pentagon superiors agreed to a bad deal when they let John Walker plead guilty to running a spy ring for the Soviet Union. He says their bargain sends a message to the country and the ships at sea, where naval personnel risk their lives, that ''espionage is just another white-collar crime.'' Those are serious charges of sellout and soft-on-spies that the Secretary lodges against our military commanders. The charges do raise questions about espionage and about prosecution tactics. But they raise questions most of all about Secretary Lehman's judgment and his upward loyalty. What will the message to the fleet be if Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger fails at least to reprimand his unruly subordinate?
