When the Labor Party recently announced its economic game plan for Britain, should it win the general election on April 9, the entire front page of The Daily Mirror, a London tabloid, was given over to the story. "Labor yesterday unveiled a People's Budget to rid Britain of the blight left by 13 years of Tory rule," the newspaper's political editor cheered in the main news story. The rest of the page displayed pictures of the homeless, the unemployed and the unhappy under the headline: "Goodbye to All This."

THE 1992 CAMPAIGN: Campaign Journal; New York Campaigns Generate a Lot of Heat but Little Light

Thanks to a full week of intensive press coverage, even the most casual New York television viewers and newspaper readers have learned that there is a Presidential primary involving one candidate who always seems to be angry and another one who always seems to be in trouble. That may be all they have learned. So far New Yorkers have endured what is, on the whole, probably the least informative political coverage of 1992: stupefying debates, meaningless sound bites, obsessions with the trivial. The closest thing to a substantive, illuminating discussion was not on a local broadcast but on yesterday's "MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour" and the "Donahue" show.

In calling for six debates over the next week, Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas tacitly acknowledged on Monday that he had lost control over the campaign's dynamic in the crucial days leading up to the New York primary. With the debates, Clinton aides say, he hopes to retake the initiative by accomplishing two complementary goals. The first is to speak more directly to New York voters, minimizing the press's role in the April 7 primary. On Monday, Mr. Clinton complained about the coverage of his campaign by the rambunctious New York press corps, saying that all that voters had heard about him was "bad stuff dumped on them about me."

At Home Abroad; A Captive Press

The Sunday Times of London topped the front page some weeks ago with a banner headline: "Soviet files reveal Labor's private dialogue with Kremlin." Below it was a large picture of the Labor Party leader, Neil Kinnock, his head shown against a red background. The eager reader of this great scoop found that Soviet diplomats over the years had sent home reports of meeting Labor Party figures at embassy cocktail parties, the House of Commons and so on. They had conversations about current events. In other words, humdrum stuff.

Public Believes Worst on Bank Scandal

Most Americans are so scornful of Congress that they have already concluded that representatives broke the law when they overdrew their accounts at the House bank. And half the public says -- mistakenly -- that taxpayers' money was used to make those checks good. Those two findings from the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll underscored the political menace in the bank scandal at a time when Congress's reputation is generally terrible, when 31 Representatives have already announced that they do not plan to run again and when the lawmakers' side of the story is not selling with the public.

With only one Democratic opponent remaining on the field, Gov. Bill Clinton has gained the support of a bare majority of Democrats nationwide and his campaign continues to confront a cloud of doubts and reservations, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll. In a month of fierce campaigning that knocked three of his opponents out of the race for the nomination, Mr. Clinton's support jumped to 51 percent from 28 percent among Democratic primary voters, the national poll found. But half said they worried that "allegations about Bill Clinton's character" could cost him the election this November.
