Latest New York Times/CBS News poll finds Bill Clinton's standing with American public has plummeted in two months since he left White House, reaching its lowest level since before he arrived in Washington; 51 percent of respondents view him unfavorably; despite this, most of those polled say they believe his explanation for last-minute pardons that have shadowed his exit from public life; results of poll suggest even out of office Clinton continues to inspire intense if somewhat conflicted reactions from Americans; his problems apparently spill over onto his wife, Sen Hillary Rodham Clinton; more than 40 percent of Americans nationwide say they have unfavorable view of her; neither poll's sample is large enough to measure Sen Clinton's standing among her New York constituents (M)

Prime Min Zhu Rongji makes highly unusual nationally televised apology to people of China for deadly schoolhouse explosion in rural Jiangxi Province, and softens earlier denials that children at school were making fireworks; says he has ordered high-level investigation; government's attempts to contain conflicting accounts of blast were undermined by citizens' rapidly spreading access to Internet and other information channels and by increasingly self-assertive press; explosion killed 42 people, 38 of them children aged 9 to 11 years old; local government had announced that deranged suicide bomber was responsible for blast; bereaved parents and surviving students unanimously rejected this, saying children were forced to make fireworks at school; attempted media blackout only fueled speculation that there was coverup reaching into central government; photo (M)
