High among the reasons given by Palestinian deportees for accepting Israel's offer to let about half of them back into the occupied West Bank and Gaza next month was the deportees' lack not of food or shelter but of coverage by the news media, meaning television. The hundreds of men stranded in rough country between Israeli and Lebanese army checkpoints aroused initial sympathy from television news, but viewers have not seen much of them in recent months. A Palestinian spokesman attributed the diminished attention to a purposeful blackout by the United States, but it probably has more to do with the competition for the camera's interest in a time of upheaval around the globe and hard going at home, and possibly with a developing viewer resistance to powerful images on the screen.

The chairman of the Equitable Companies, Richard Jenrette, confirmed yesterday that the insurer planned to sell a public stake next year in its Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette securities unit. Mr. Jenrette said the sale would help Equitable because the unit's current value is not reflected on the company's books. Donaldson, Lufkin, which specializes in investment banking, mergers and acquisitions and junk bond transactions, has earned $250 million so far this year, as much as it did in all of 1992.
