A SMILING REAGAN IN SOVIET TV NEWS

President Reagan, normally vilified by the Soviet press, has been on television screens the last two nights, smiling, laughing and apparently enjoying the company of Mikhail S. Gorbachev in Geneva. The main daily newspapers today published a large front-page picture of Mr. Gorbachev and Mr. Reagan chatting amicably in the glow of a fire in the pool house of the Fleur d'Eau chateau, where the two leaders held their first sessions Tuesday. It was the first front-page picture of an American President the Russians have seen in years. ''It's got to be jarring to Russians, accustomed to all the anti-American propaganda, to suddenly see Ronald Reagan in their living rooms smiling pleasantly and talking easily with Gorbachev,'' a diplomat said.

International The American and Soviet leaders held more private meetings in Geneva and agreed to end their conference with a joint appearance today, President Reagan's spokesman said. But American and Soviet officials said deep differences continued to separate Mr. Reagan and Mikhail S. Gorbachev on arms control and other issues. [Page A1, Col. 6.] The private talks between the President and Mr. Gorbachev lasting nearly five hours loomed unusually large in Geneva. In the past, staff members have been fearful that some spur-of-the-moment comment might be misinterpreted or that zeal might overcome judgment and lead to an imprudent pledge. [A1:4-5.]

International Summit talks began in a good mood, according to spokesmen for President Reagan and Mikhail S. Gorbachev. The first American-Soviet summit sessions in six years lasted more than four hours, with half the time spent alone by the two leaders, with only interpreters present. [Page A1, Col. 6.] Mr. Gorbachev and Jesse Jackson spent 45 minutes in a stand-up, impromptu discussion in a crowded lobby at the Soviet Mission in Geneva. Mr. Jackson twice pressed the Soviet leader on the predicament of Soviet Jews. Mr. Gorbachev looked him squarely in the eye, with no hint of tension, and addressed the issue the second time Mr. Jackson raised it. Later, he termed Mr. Gorbachev a ''master communicator.''

Her name is on a foundation that has changed the course of medical research in this country, on a skating rink, on 10 honorary degrees and a new pink tulip. As one of her fans, Dr. Michael E. DeBakey, said yesterday: ''Mary Lasker is an institution unto herself. Asking what her importance has been is like asking what Harvard has meant to this country.'' Dr. DeBakey, a heart surgery pioneer, was in the city for the presentation tomorrow of the 1985 Albert Lasker Medical Research and Public Service Awards. The event at the St. Regis-Sheraton will mark the 40th anniversary of the awards, which are second in prestige in medicine only to the Nobel Prize.

Advertising; Magazine Publisher's Acquisition

HAVING tired of being ''a single-title publisher in a multi-title world,'' Owen J. Lipstein, 34-year-old founder and publisher of the highly successful American Health magazine, has now acquired Mother Earth News. The two companies will be independent of one another as far as a corporate umbrella goes but will share a common chief executive. Mr. Lipstein will be publisher of both, which will mean frequent trips to Hendersonville, N.C., the home of Mother Earth. Since both are private companies Mr. Lipstein had every right not to disclose the selling price. But when the immediate past management bought the then 10-year-old magazine in 1980 in a leveraged buyout from its founder, John Shuttleworth, the price was reported to be in the area of $10 million.

The Fireside Summit

Date: 21 November 1985

''A stroll in the park, a fireside chat, and thou beside me'' is the Rubaiyat of Ronald Reagan. Let us use our checklist of criteria for success in Summit XIV to see how we made out. First, on the standards that should not be used for judgment: 1. Did the leaders get on well? Famously. The extended minuet of this diehard duo will surely play in euphoria. The President's decision to go it alone - one-on-one for more than four hours - was Rooseveltian in its audacity (and its arrogance). True, we elect one man and trust him, but sometimes personal diplomacy goes too far, and Mr. Gorbachev should be reminded that no understandings reached man-to-man count beyond Jan. 20, 1989. 2. Were tensions reduced? This false criterion was met; the Russians, who last month were insisting that nuclear war loomed unless we gave up ''Star Wars,'' have abandoned that pose and are now hailing a new, personal detente, which they hope will be useful to them in dissolving the mistrust that invasion, repression and treaty violations have earned. 3. Was a breakthrough achieved in arms control? Of course not; although this is written while statements are being drafted, it appears that Mr. Reagan refused to accept this Soviet criterion for success in this resumption of normal relations after their long snit. 4. Did we get into the agreement-signing, summitary habit? They are to ''participate in a ceremony'' on symbolic stuff, and I fear we have agreed to follow-up meetings too quickly, but fig leaves for diplomatists denied ''breakthroughs'' should not be begrudged.

The veil of secrecy that shrouded the meetings of their husbands has not affected Raisa M. Gorbachev or Nancy Reagan. On the contrary, it seemed only to increase the First Ladies' share of the Geneva limelight. From early morning on, their visits, wardrobes, comments, teas and dinners supplied the color, gossip and action that the ban on information prohibited. Squads of Swiss, Soviet and American security men and busloads of reporters chased around town as the First Ladies pursued their busy programs.
