Snoop du jour: At a meeting on the proposed takeover of Harbor Police hy SDPD, Port Director Don Nay lost his point on at least one of the city officials present.

Councilwoman Gloria McColl's stone face wasn't softened by Nay's attempt at recovery: 'Tm sure Gloria understands what I mean." . . Paul Aposlolides, who chauffeured Soviet Defense Minister Dmitri Yazov on his tour of San Diego last week, gave the Russian a parting gift before he boarded an Air Force jet out of town: a golf shirt, bearing the "Paul the Greek" limo service logo. And Yazov, apparently moved, gave Apostolides something in return: a wristwatch with a Red star on its face....

Anchorman Dan Rather is scheduled to broadcast his CBS Evening News from Channel 8 here Nov. 13. Wandering I: With the seattle Supersonics in at USD's Sports Center Friday to open trainTng camp, the local sports media were out in force. But one enterprising Channel 8 photographer got a leg up on the competition. He brought along his own stepladder, for an eye- to-eye interview with 6'9" forward Michael Cage. . . Jackie Main, who's taken over the political newsletter founded by the late Nell Good and renamed it SD Political Watch, mailed a copy of the first issue to publisher Lowell Blankfort, on holiday in London. And she was amazed to hefl.r it arrived there before most copies were delivered here. But then, she notes, the Postal service had an extra day. It was postmarked, "Sept. 31, 1989." ...

His latest book, "The Upper West Side," is selling briskly, and a one-man show featuring his drawings of American architecture opens Tuesday at SoHo's Helio Galleries. -~--,..n--•~...--~

protection and punishing flag burn- ing, by diminishing liberty of expres- sion, to that extent diminishes and desecrates the flag as symbol of lib- erty, Ironically, President Bush and Congress, by proposing that we make physical destruction of the flag con- stitutionally protected blasphemy, are poised to deliver a victory to the flag burners that the latter could never achieve by their own counter- productive efforts. If the proposed constitutional amendment is adopted, the flag will wave less proudly over a land a little less free, and it will be our elected officials and ourselves, not the flag burners, who will be responsible for this, the only way to desecrate the flag.
