Seven in the morning is not the best time of day for Bill Clinton. His eyes are puffy, his face is red and his smile has the weary air of items at a tag sale. But 7 A.M. happens to be the time the "Today" program has offered each of the Presidential candidates an hour of national television to answer questions from viewers. So this morning, not too long after sunrise, the likely Democratic nominee was sitting in front of the potted ferns with Bryant Gumbel, fielding questions from Glenn of New York City and Barbara of Durham, N.C., and looking very much in need of a good cup of coffee.

Although Americans put a high priority on environmental issues, they are skeptical about whether President Bush will accomplish much at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro this week. Only 9 percent of those surveyed in a CBS News poll conducted from May 27 to May 30 said they expected the meeting to produce substantial results to help solve the world's environmental problems. Forty-seven percent expected the meeting would help a little, but 35 percent said they felt the session would have little or no effect.

Date: 11 June 1992

Nick Zito, the trainer of last year's Kentucky Derby winner Strike the Gold, was questioned at his barn at Belmont Park yesterday by a police detective investigating the complaint by a freelance writer that he had struck her in the face with a magazine. Zito, who has denied the allegation, has hired a criminal lawyer, Frank Yannelli of Mineola, L.I. The lawyer said that he would discuss the case today with the trainer and they most likely would decide to file a rebuttal statement with the police tomorrow. Sgt.

In "The Madness of George III," a new play at the Royal National Theater, a monarch suffering mental illness is maltreated by his doctors but manages to recover. "The publicity the King's case drew," writes the social historian Roy Porter in the program, ". . . promoted greater public concern for the humane treatment of the mentally ill in the nineteenth century." How does today's world react to the revelations by Andrew Morton, printed in apparently well-sourced detail in The Sunday Times, that Princess Diana, wife of Prince Charles, heir to the throne of Britain, suffers from bulimia -- an eating disorder characterized by secret binge eating and self-induced vomiting -- and repeatedly tried to kill herself?

Libya's Press Hints at Westward Turn

Date: 11 June 1992

By Chris Hedges

The official Libyan press, which unquestioningly echoes the views of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, has criticized the Libyan leader's call for Arab unity as a "mirage" and has proposed reconcilation with the West. At a time when Libya is under United Nations sanctions for refusing to turn over Libyans suspected of helping blow up American and French airliners, it was unclear whether the press criticism represented genuine rebellion or was part of a plan by Colonel Qaddafi to repair his ties to the West.
