THOUGH few newspapers are being bought and sold these days, prospective buyers with cash in hand are sensing that some real bargains are available from sellers who need -- not merely want -- to sell. Make no mistake. The vast majority of prospective sellers will not settle for the prices that newspapers currently bring and are hoping that an improved economy will restore newspaper prices to the glory days of the late 1980's.

Battered by political events and months of disorganization in President Bush's re-election drive, Republicans assembled here today for their national convention in a mood of striking uncertainty for a party that has held the White House for the last 12 years. The latest New York Times/CBS News Poll outlines the daunting task of political rehabilitation that faces them. Gov. Bill Clinton, the Democratic nominee, retains a 17-point lead over Mr. Bush. Perhaps more important, the vast majority of American voters said there needed to be "real change" in the way things are going in this country, according to this survey. Candidate for Change Only 15 percent said that re-electing Mr. Bush would bring that change, compared with 63 percent who saw that possibility under a Clinton Presidency.

Eventually the newspaper strike that is afflicting the Pittsburgh area will be settled. Some of the teamsters who walked off the job in May will return to their jobs as truck drivers, and some presumably won't. But some people who have been idled know already that they have lost their jobs for good, like Bobby Griska, who is 14 years old. Bobby is a paperboy, one of 4,300 young door-to-door carriers who delivered The Pittsburgh Press and The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Under the newspapers' plan for more efficient home delivery, all 4,300 young carriers have been dismissed. They will be replaced by far fewer adults who can cover longer routes by flinging the papers onto lawns from car windows.

Bill Clinton's frantic pace will slow significantly next week as the Republicans take center stage for their week of self-congratulation. But it is clear that the Republicans began stealing the march on the Democrat last week. President Bush's campaign commandeered the airwaves and news pages with seemingly contradictory statements on abortion, attacks on Mr. Clinton's wife, Hillary, pronouncements on "sleaze" journalism and, finally, the political reinstatement of James A. Baker 3d.
