Saying that the United States "cannot turn our back on the world," President Clinton offered a broad defense tonight of his foreign policy initiatives and issued tough-sounding challenges to North Korea and other foreign governments. "America cannot solve every problem, and must not become the world's policeman," he said in an international forum televised by Cable News Network.

With their sales rising smartly, a majority of America's top executives are far more sanguine about the economy than the general public is, the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll shows. But many executives also have a complaint: they can't get the price increases that many say are needed to keep their businesses thriving. The executives favor, in effect, a bit more inflation -- for their industries, at least -- than the current mild national level.

Last night's appearance by President Clinton was billed as a "Global Forum," but only a few parts of the world could have had any immediate knowledge of it. While CNN is available in 62 million homes in the United States and more than 50 million in Western Europe, the figure for the rest of the world is under 30 million. While the program was seen in prime time in the United States, it would have been seen after midnight or later in Europe and Africa. It was dawn in much of Asia.

The stock of Caesars World Inc. declined 10 percent yesterday after the company said it expected to report earnings of 42 to 50 cents a share in the quarter that ended on April 30, compared with 69 cents in the quarter a year earlier. The company, which owns casino hotels in Nevada and Atlantic City, attributed the decline to increased marketing expenses and higher provisions to cover uncollectible gambling debts and to provide free services for high-rolling patrons. The company's shares fell $4.875, to $43.75, on the New York Stock Exchange, where more than one million of its shares were traded.
