Nearly halfway through his term, Mayor David N. Dinkins's political support has slid sharply, with fewer than a third of all New Yorkers approving of the way he is handling his job, and two-thirds saying it is time to give someone else a chance, according to a citywide New York Times/WCBS-TV News Poll. Battered by the city's fiscal crisis, rising social problems and the dashing of many of the high expectations that greeted his narrow victory as the city's first black mayor, Mr. Dinkins has an approval rating of 29 percent, with 58 percent disapproving -- almost exactly the reverse of his ratings in mid-1990.

A striking loss of confidence in President Bush's economic leadership is leading Americans to reassess the Bush Presidency, setting the stage for a competitive election next year, according to the latest nationwide New York Times/CBS News Poll. Only one American in four now approves of Mr. Bush's handling of the economy, a level of discontent unmatched since the days of double-digit inflation under President Jimmy Carter. Mr. Bush's overall job approval rating is now at 51 percent, a drop of 16 percentage points since mid-October. The declines seemed to reflect a month of bad economic news and turmoil in the White House.

Mayor David N. Dinkins returned to New York City from South Africa last week buoyed and emboldened by the homecoming to the continent of his heritage, but also deeply embittered. He blamed the press for singling him out for unnecessarily negative coverage. Mr. Dinkins typically speaks softly but sometimes seems to carry a big chip on his shoulder. Since his trip, he has pumped up the volume and more than once has given voice to deep resentment that he usually suffers in silence.

One of the biggest local attractions for this clean-cut Hartford suburb is not its towering First Congregational Church, nor the larger-than-life monument to the lexicographer Noah Webster nor even its sprawling Westfarms Mall. It is a black binder containing information that police officers seized in a raid on a prostitution ring last January. The police refer to it simply as "The Book."

The International Paper Company, the nation's largest paper producer, said yesterday that it was cutting 1,000 positions from its worldwide work force and that it would adopt an accounting change that would force it to restate its results for the first three quarters of 1991. The Purchase, N.Y., company, which has been hurt by sluggish demand for some products, said it was adopting the accounting rule, known as Financial Accounting Standard No. 106, before 1993, when the rule will become mandatory for all companies. The new standard requires that the costs of providing life and medical insurance coverage for a retired employee be accrued over the employee's active career.
