Americans are waiting for Bill Clinton's Presidency with revived optimism about the nation and the economy, a new New York Times/CBS News Poll shows. Three-fourths of those polled said they thought the President-elect cared "about the needs and problems" of people like them. And the survey suggests much indifference to campaign promises, with the exception of health care.

Saying they were starved for local news, sports columns, comic strips, job advertisements, movie listings and obituary notices, Pittsburgh residents lined up in the bitter cold outside news vendors this morning to buy the first copies of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette to roll off the presses in eight months. "This is exciting," Laverne Dober, 40, a clerk in a downtown finance company, said as she waited to buy a copy of the city's only major newspaper to survive a long strike by employees. "We haven't had a hometown paper for so long, it's ridiculous."

The Chinese authorities appear to have stopped following foreign reporters, as part of an effort to spruce up their image and help their bid to become host of the Olympic Games in the year 2000. The State Security Ministry and Foreign Ministry jointly issued an internal Government circular this month announcing an end to the following of foreign journalists, Chinese familiar with the document say. The circular said the step was necessary to improve Beijing's human rights image and therefore its chances of being awarded the Olympic Games.

Americans await Bill Clinton's Presidency with revived optimism about the nation and its economy and a pre-inaugural burst of confidence in him as an effective leader who cares about them, the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll shows. The public's high hopes for Mr. Clinton's term include one critical and difficult expectation: that he keep his campaign promise to change the nation's health-care system. While the poll suggests much indifference to campaign promises health care is the exception.

This time, the buses wore American flags. The politician in blue jeans and a sport shirt had vanished, replaced by a statesman in a dark suit. Long before the sun rose on inauguration week, the enduring images of Bill Clinton's ascension to power had been ordained: the historical backdrops to today's bus ride from Monticello; tonight's candlelight march across Memorial Bridge; the politically canny guest list for lunch with common folk on Monday; the gait and pace of his walk with his wife, Hillary, (hand-in-hand, no question) down Pennsylvania Avenue on Wednesday.

In the middle of one of the most glittering events of the inaugural week, the Sunday concert at the Lincoln Memorial, people watching on CNN and C-Span found themselves cut off from the songs of stars like Diana Ross, Bob Dylan and Kenny Rogers. Many viewers called the two cable networks to complain, wondering how exclusive rights to an event in so public a place as the Lincoln Memorial could be bought. They were told that HBO had paid about $1.5 million to the Presidential Inaugural Committee for exclusive rights to tape the performances for transmission Sunday night.

The Chevron Corporation, the nation's third-largest oil company, said yesterday that its 1993 capital budget would increase by 5 percent, to $4.9 billion, primarily reflecting a continuing emphasis on overseas projects. Chevron said it intended to spend 75 percent of its $2.6 billion exploration and production budget outside the United States, about 10 percent more than estimated exploration and production expenditures last year. The company also said it would reduce spending for domestic exploration and production by 20 percent from last year, to $700 million. The overseas budget includes the planned start-up of a joint venture in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan.
