A NEWSPAPER HEADLINE caught my eye. It said: ''Famed Psychic's Head Explodes.'' I didn't buy the paper. Afterward, I worried. What was wrong with me? In the old days, if there had been an exploding-head story in the news, I would have bought every sheet on the newsstand. Now I passed by as though exploding heads were as ordinary as kidnappings in Beirut.

International President Reagan denounced critics of his proposed aid to Nicaraguan rebels, and said they engaged in ''scurrilous'' attacks and outright falsehoods in suggesting that his policy was leading the United States toward a war in Latin America. In an interview with The New York Times, he displayed rare public anger and his voice shook with emotion as he commented on the House debate before his request for aid was rejected on Thursday.

International A shakeup in Haiti brought the ouster of three top officials with links to former President Jean-Claude Duvalier. The move by the leader of the ruling council, Lieut. Gen. Henri Namphy, followed by a day the angry resignation of Gerard Gourgue, the Justice Minister and most popular member of the six-member council that took over when Mr. Duvalier fled Feb. 7. The changes were announced as violence was reported around the capital. [ Page 1, Column 6. ] Michele Sindona had a cynanide dose before he fell into an irreversible coma Thursday in a prison, the Minister of Justice said. The official, Mino Martinazzoli, told Parliament that it was not clear whether the poisoning of Mr. Sindona, who was one of Italy's leading financiers, was a murder or suicide attempt. [ 3:4. ]

Almost 20 years ago, just as Ferdinand E. Marcos began amassing his enormous wealth, one of the most popular politicians in the Philippines publicly accused the President of manipulating the nation's Securities and Exchange Commission for his own end. The politician, Senator Jovito R. Salonga, kept watching the accretion of the Marcos billions. And so, as a new Manila Government formed last month, it came as no surprise that the self-effacing lawyer and politician, described by his colleagues as possessing impeccable integrity, was appointed to head the commission investigating Mr. Marcos's billions. ''It was almost inevitable that he would be chosen,'' said a close colleague, Rafael Fernando, a Filipino businessman in Los Angeles. ''People were looking for leadership by moral principles.''

Nearly 30 years ago, The Arkansas Gazette's coverage and support of school desegregation won two Pulitzer Prizes but so outraged the citizens of Little Rock that the newspaper was almost ruined by a boycott while its conservative rival, The Arkansas Democrat, prospered. Even though the 1957 boycott was supported by Gov. Orval E. Faubus, The Gazette fought back for several years to regain its dominance in circulation and advertising, and The Democrat slipped into a decline. Now a newspaper war between The Gazette and The Democrat is being waged in Federal District Court in Little Rock, pitting two proud and determined newspaper families with very different political perspectives against each other in what some experts describe as a struggle to the death of one of the papers. ''However the jury decides, it's going to end one newspaper or the other,'' said John Morton, a newspaper analyst who testified on behalf of The Gazette.
