Gorbachev toughened his bargaining position in response to a new American demand, according to a high Pentagon official. The official, Richard N.

THE WORLD The President blamed the Kremlin for the failure to achieve an arms control agreement in Iceland, but he renewed his invitation to Mikhail S. Gorbachev for a summit meeting in the United States, Mr. Reagan said in a televised address. In a conciliatory tone, Mr. Reagan said Washington and Moscow were closer than ever before to agreements that could lead to a safer world. [ Page A1, Column 6. ] Hopes for progress in arms talks in Geneva were expressed by American officials as a result of President Reagan's meetings in Iceland with Mikhail S. Gorbachev. They said the Kremlin would find it hard to retract from concessions it made in Iceland. Their outlook was disputed by former arms control officials. [ A11:1-6. ]

UNRAVELER OF MYSTERIES: RITA LEVI-MONTALCINI
Date: 14 October 1986
By Roberto Suro, Special To the New York Times

When Mussolini's anti-Semitic laws forced her to leave the University of Turin in 1939, Rita Levi-Montalcini set up a small laboratory in the bedroom of her family home, and it was there that she first developed the expertise in cellular biology that today earned her a share of the 1986 Nobel Prize for medicine. Dr. Levi-Montalcini, who is 77 years old, is the kind of researcher who has focused resolutely on one issue over the course of a long career. Her fascination with nerve cells began back in the dark days when it was a crime for her to talk about what she saw through a microscope, and the intrigue continues unabated now. Winning the Nobel, she said today in an interview, is ''a great honor,'' but with a slight smile she added, ''Still, there is no great a thrill as the moment of discovery.'' The first great moment came in 1952, when she helped identify the nerve growth factor, a protein that stimulates nerve development. Working with Dr. Stanley Cohen, who shared today's prize, at Washington University in St. Louis, she pursued the discovery through several stages of research into the workings of the nervous system at the molecular level.

HOLDOUT ON BIG SCIENCE: STANLEY COHEN

AT first, all Stanley Cohen had to go on was that the eyelids were opening too soon. Ordinarily the eyes of newborn mice open like clockwork on the 13th or 14th day, but these mice, injected with a crude extract containing a newly discovered nerve growth factor, were opening their eyes by the seventh day. Furthermore, their teeth were coming out too fast - and these were unexpected side effects, clearly unrelated to nerve growth. From this first hint in the late 1950's, Dr. Cohen single-mindedly pursued a new substance, now known as epidermal growth factor, that he suspected of playing a central role in the timing of cell development. At the time, it was far from obvious that the problem was worth the trouble.

U.S. Acts to Enhance Image After Talks

White House officials, expressing unhappiness over news accounts of President Reagan's stance in his meeting with Mikhail S. Gorbachev, have begun one of the most extensive public relations efforts of the Reagan Presidency. The officials say their goal is to reverse the emphasis of newspaper and television reports that, in their view, portrayed President Reagan's adherence to the Strategic Defense Initiative as the major reason for the leaders' failure to agree on a major arms control accord in the meeting last weekend in Iceland. President Reagan and his key advisers today began a series of interviews and speeches that, according to White House aides, are aimed at placing the blame for the outcome on the Soviet leader. As part of the effort to get domestic support and counter potential criticism abroad, Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said today that all officials would speak on the record.

A journalist from Colombia, invited to the United States by Columbia University to attend ceremonies honoring Latin American journalists, was being detained yesterday by the Immigration and Naturalization Service after her name appeared in the service's ''Lookout Book.'' Immigration officials declined to specify why the journalist - Patricia Lara, 35 years old, a reporter for El Tiempo, the leading newspaper in Colombia - had been denied admission to the United States after her arrival in New York on Sunday night. A State Department official, who did not want to be identified, said Miss Lara had been placed on the list, ''based on classified information,'' but would provide no details.
