Look in the manual, about page 49, "Display settings for "Single","LIST",etc". 
You are looking for subheader_stdWrap. The manual shows an example. If you 
want to use the text from the bodytext instead of the subheader, change the 
template file, and use content_stdWrap instead.

To only give logged in users the possibility to post comments and/or read 
you only have to hide the form/comments for not logged in users. Every element 
i TYPO3 can be accessible only to logged in users.

The extension news2forum creates new topic in mm_forum on a newspost.
