LEAD: It's not hard to figure why South Africa's white rulers are excluding foreign journalists, like reporters for The Times, and stifling what was once the freest press in Africa. President P. W. Botha wants fewer television pictures and better newspaper headlines. He wants his National Party to overwhelm all opponents in the election looming this spring.

LEAD: As a new high-school teacher in New York City, I do what I can to awaken, in each successive brood, love of the principles Mr. Rosenthal articulated in his article. I am going to use his essay to teach my students about the opportunities that I believe are available to them, just as they were available to him.

LEAD: Cheers to A. M. Rosenthal. Nobody has ever made a better case for how much a free press means to a free people. And he did it in prose as spare and lean as a good police reporter's account of a murder. If eternal vigilance really is the price of liberty, then America has been lucky these last 40 years to have had a bowman like old Four Eyes on the battlements.

LEAD: Having worked as a newspaper reporter, wire-service foreign correspondent, magazine editor and publisher for more than 50 years, I found myself in complete agreement with A. M. Rosenthal's articulate defense of the First Amendment (''Learning on the Job,'' Dec. 14). It would be a better world if the freedom to write and the freedom to think were universal.
