NBC News is considering a plan to replace its 30-minute ''Nightly News'' program with a 90-minute broadcast package that would enable individual stations to blend network news with local news in one program, the network acknowledged yesterday. Lawrence K. Grossman, president of NBC News, said in an interview that NBC was weighing the prospect of introducing a ''newswheel,'' but emphasized that the concept was in the early planning stages and was only one of many options being considered to keep the network news operation competitive in what is a rapidly expanding marketplace. ''We've still got a lot of homework to do on it,'' Mr. Grossman said, ''including the decision as to whether we can or want to go ahead with it.'' NBC's affiliated stations have not yet been consulted, Mr. Grossman said, and their approval would be necessary before any such plan could be implemented.

A FREE MAN AT LAST

Date: 12 February 1986

Special to the New York Times

It is a rare man who can make a joke of his imminent arrest, and Anatoly B. Shcharansky is such a man.

Slepak, who, like Mr. Shcharansky, had applied for and been refused an exit visa to emigrate to Israel. Mr. Shcharansky sensed that he was about to be seized; all signs pointed to it. Eleven days before, he had been accused in the Government newspaper Izvestia of passing secrets to the Central Intelligence Agency. A roommate of his, Dr. Sanya Lipavsky, had turned out to an agent of the K.G.B., the security police, rather than the dissident he had pretended he was.

Milgrom, had addressed appeals to the authorities at all levels of the Soviet state. A small, slight woman, now 77 years old, she had stood in the cold outside the prison of Chistopol, in the Tatar republic, demanding to see the warden, she had traveled thousands of miles for rare meetings with her son, she had suffered through months with no word from him. She refused suggestions that she emigrate. She believed she had to remain as long as Anatoly was in prison. Assisted by her older son, Leonid, she struggled to find out what she could of her son's plight, to demand meetings and letters, to complain of his treatment and to appeal for his release. She and Leonid worked, at the same time, to keep the world informed of Anatoly's condition.
