Each spring, on Pentecost Sunday, a small group of friends make a pilgrimage to Solutre, in the forest of Morvan, to remember old times and talk about the years to come. The leader of the group is Francois Mitterrand, the President of France, who hid in those woods in the dark days of the Resistance. Invariably, at his side is Charles Hernu, his Defense Minister and a close friend for more than 30 years. Until the controversy over the sinking of the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior in New Zealand, Mr. Hernu was one of the most popular and most respected of the ministers in the Socialist Government. He has held his portfolio since the Socialists came to power in 1981. Whether he will hold it much longer is uncertain, but no one in France doubts that his friendship with the President will endure. On a personal level, Greenpeace is but one of many crises the two men have weathered together in their long rise to power.

The release of the Rev. Benjamin Weir, one of the seven kidnapped Americans still held hostage in Lebanon, is splendid news in itself and in what it suggests: that determined diplomacy can bring deliverance to the six others as well. Perhaps even in this labyrinth, there are channels of contact with the kidnappers who have so far been demanding what the United States cannot deliver - the release of 17 of their comrades convicted of terrorist crimes in Kuwait.

The kidnappers of the daughter of President Jose Napoleon Duarte of El Salvador have established new conditions for opening negotiations on her release, according to a senior Salvadoran official who is closely involved in the case. The conditions were set amid growing indications that the kidnappers of Ines Guadelupe Duarte Duran are leftist rebels belonging to one of the five recognized groups making up the official Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front. It appears that the rebel front may not be taking responsibility for the kidnapping because it wants to minimize criticism of the action. [United Press International said the kidnappers had released a tape recording on which a woman could be heard saying that she was ''fine.''
