The public gives decidedly mixed reviews to the Republican Congress's first 100 days and is particularly skeptical about the leaders' ability to deliver both huge tax cuts and a balanced budget, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll. Despite the best efforts of the Republicans to publicize and promote what they call their legislative revolution, the survey suggested that much of the public remained largely disengaged. Only 38 percent said they had read or heard anything about the Contract With America, the Republican policy agenda that has driven the House in these first three months. Forty-seven percent said they were "mostly disappointed" with the first 100 days, compared with 39 percent who said they were pleased. And Mr. Gingrich's personal ratings remain remarkably negative.

The Ingersoll-Rand Company nominated new directors yesterday for the Clark Equipment Company, a day after beginning a hostile $1.34 billion tender offer for Clark, a maker of construction machinery based in South Bend, Ind. Clark elects all seven members of its board at the same time. The votes will be taken at the company's annual meeting on May 9. Ingersoll-Rand, based in Woodcliff Lake, N.J., nominated directors who favored its cash offer of $77 a share in hopes of gaining control of the board and eliminating Clark's "poison pill" takeover defense adopted in 1987. The Clark board said the company was not for sale and filed an antitrust suit to block the Ingersoll-Rand bid.

BDO Seidman, the auditor for Leslie Fay until May 1993, called the suit "unjustified and hypocritical."
