International The Israeli commission of inquiry on the massacre of Palestinian civilians in Beirut notified Prime Minister Menachem Begin and eight other top officials that there was a possibility they might be harmed by its findings. The panel said Mr. Begin and Defense Minister Ariel Sharon might be found to have failed in their duties by ignoring the dangers of asking Lebanese Christian militiamen to go into the Palestinian refugee camps and, in the cases of some of the other officials, by neglecting to report or act quickly to halt the killings. (Page A1, Column 4.) Foreign Miniser Yitzhak Shamir testified it was not true that a fellow Israeli Cabinet member told him Sept. 17 that Lebanese Christian militiamen were killing Palestinian civilians in Beirut. In a 40-minute appearance before the Israeli judicial commission investigating Israeli involvement in the killings, Mr. Shamir denied testimony given by Communications Minister Mordechai Zipori.

Several passages from a prize-winning sports article in The Miami News were copied without attribution from a book on the same subject, according to a report in this month's issue of the journal of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. The Miami reporter, Tom Archdeacon, 32 years old, won the society's 1982 Distinguished Writing Award in the sports category for a series of articles, one of them about a stock-car racer. In his research, Mr. Archdeacon said later, he read a book on the subject by Jerry Bledsoe, a columnist in Greensboro, N.C., for The Daily News and The Greensboro Record, and he copied some passages to check against his own observations. He said that when he wrote the article some days later he accidentally mixed a few of Mr. Bledsoe's phrases, about 100 words in all, with his own in the 1,000-word article.
