Confidentiality Ruling In a victory for writers who unearth information about criminal cases while researching books, Joseph Bosco, the author of a book on a crime that took place in New Orleans, has been declared to have the same First Amendment rights as an investigative journalist. On Monday, a Louisiana appeals court ruled, 2-1, that under the state's law Mr. Bosco qualifies as a journalist, meaning that he cannot automatically be forced to turn over confidential materials in court. "I'm just thrilled, on one level," said Mr. Bosco, whose 1993 book "Blood Will Tell" (William Morrow & Company), describes the brutal beating death in 1984 of Janet Myers, a young housewife, and the subsequent trials of her husband and her lover. Each implicated the other, and each was convicted in a separate trial. "We have won a battle, I believe, for writers everywhere."

THERE'S a new 24-hour pit stop on the information superhighway. It's the Television Food Network, servicing cooks and eaters day and night. Sponsors are promised that the network will reach 22 million cable subscribers by the end of 1997. A programming day consists of a six-hour package that is shown, with a little internal rearranging, four times every 24 hours. So if you miss "How to Boil Water" at 6:30 A.M., or watch it but need a refresher, you can catch it at 12:30 P.M., 6:30 P.M. and 3:30 A.M. Yes, you can learn to boil water at 3:30 A.M. in the comfort of your own entertainment space. That's the future Vice President Gore must be talking about.
