A private study released last week charged that, in effect, New York City officials had misplaced priorities. At a time when the city should have directed funds to programs for poor children to compensate for Federal budget cuts, the report said, it decided instead to increase allocations to such agencies as the Department of Cultural Affairs. The report highlighted again the longstanding debate over how the city's complex pattern of resources and services should be distributed fairly to its diverse constituents.

Bandar ibn Sultan ibn Abdel Aziz, the Saudi Arabian Prince who helped bring about today's cease-fire in Lebanon, is regarded here as the epitome of a new breed of Saudi diplomat - outgoing, sociable and articulate. The 34-year-old Prince, who has been named as the new Saudi Ambassador to the United States, is viewed as operating in a way that is the antithesis of an earlier style of Saudi diplomacy that emphasized caution and a desire to avoid public scrutiny while quietly negotiating behind the scenes.

On a spring morning in 1970 at Derecktor's Yard in Mamaroneck, N. Y., Alan Bond of Australia and the crew from his yacht Apollo spotted an unusual yacht and climbed aboard to inspect her.
