James Warren arrived as the Washington bureau chief of The Chicago Tribune just a year ago. But Mr. Warren, who is 41, is already getting quite a name for himself. For example, "I don't call that serious journalism" was the evaluation of Mr. Warren's weekly column by the columnist Robert Novak, one of dozens of prominent journalists regularly skewered by Mr. Warren in The Tribune.

Martin Luther said once that if he were God he would kick the world to pieces, and who doesn't know what he meant. Only, these days we're so good at kicking the world to pieces ourselves that we hardly need God for the job. It's not so much the terrible things that are decimating us -- Bosnia, Haiti, Angola, AIDS, homelessness, crime and the rest of it -- because, as Thornton Wilder pointed out long ago, we always manage somehow to survive the terrible things by the skin of our teeth. It is rather our obsession with the terrible things. News has come to mean almost exclusively bad news, and the badness of it has got into our blood.

Politics has always been a contact sport in America. Even Abraham Lincoln said that just to read the attacks on him, he would have to shut his office. Still, in the 1994 campaign, negative messages, groundless attacks on character, outright lying and distorted images dragged political advertising to a new low. The cutthroat ads followed a disturbing formula. In clipped, agitated tones, attack your opponent's character. Distort his record. Associate her with extremists or unpopular political figures. To awaken fear, work in a between-the-lines racist message; to foster suspicion, insinuate corrupt behavior. And by all means, steer clear of substantive issues.

HARTFORD: A LAB FOR COMBATING GANGS Like any city where gangs have run rampant, Hartford has taken a beating in the last few years. In response, Connecticut's capital has become a virtual laboratory for methods of quelling gang violence. Its efforts include a joint Federal, state and local task force, a beefed-up gang prosecution unit and many police officers working lots of overtime. It is emphasizing after-school and recreational programs and has an institute to mediate gang disputes. In one experiment, a member of the city's largest gang, Los Solidos, makes $25,000 a year as youth coordinator for the Hartford Housing Authority. His job is to steer street toughs to after-school programs and away from drugs and the gang life. Page 1.

THE stock of the Best Buy Company, a fast-growing consumer electronics retailer, has already fallen more than 25 percent this month after the company disclosed earnings and sales would be less than Wall Street expectations. And there's a broad view that more bad news is on the way for the company's investors. Even at its current $29.875 a share, investors are paying 20 times estimated fiscal 1995 earnings for Best Buy. The price-earnings ratio is 12.9 at Circuit City Stores Inc.; 12.5 at the Tandy Corporation, which owns Radio Shack and Incredible Universe stores, and 11 at the Good Guys Inc.
