A bankruptcy judge yesterday set a new deadline of next Thursday for resolving who is to own The Daily News. Otherwise, she said she would almost certainly approve an across-the-board wage cut of at least 10 percent at the bankrupt paper. Effectively, the ruling gives Mortimer B. Zuckerman, who is trying to buy the paper, until Thursday to reach agreements with the Newspaper Guild and the paper's creditors, both of whom yesterday expressed strong opposition to Mr. Zuckerman's current offer to them.

As a young girl growing up on the South Side of Chicago, Mae C. Jemison watched telecasts of the Gemini and Apollo spaceflights and knew that that was her destiny. No matter that all the astronauts were male and white and that she was female and black. She simply knew she would be a space traveler. Now a 35-year-old doctor and engineer, Dr. Jemison has realized her dream, launching into orbit yesterday as one of the shuttle Endeavor's seven-member crew. In the process she has become the first African-American woman to go into space.

Politically, homosexual rights will be in the 1990's what abortion rights were in the 1980's. People on all points of the political spectrum are making that observation these days, a few with relish, most with dread. They know that the abortion conflict inflamed public life without even moving society very far toward a point of resolution. It need not have been that way. Not that reaching a workable political consensus about a moral issue like abortion is easy under the best of circumstances: the political process is attuned to splitting the difference, not examining basic principles. But the task certainly became harder once the debate managed to eliminate a broad middle range of opinion that favors neither abortion on demand nor a ban on abortion in nearly all circumstances.

The Honda Motor Company said today that it would end its participation in Formula One auto racing at the end of this season -- a sign of changing priorities and tough times for the automobile industry. Honda, which supplies engines to Formula One teams, said it wanted to turn its attention to making low-polluting engines, not superfast ones. By suspending its development of racing car engines, Honda will free 100 engineers to work on emissions control, alternative-fuel technology and other projects the company would not specify.
