Clinton has promised jobs, health-care reform and a national service program for the college-bound. He has hinted at other programs to be passed in the first 100 days of his presidency. How he keeps those promises could decide the rest of his tenure in the White House, historians of past presidents say. "If he falls on his face in the first 100 days, what hope will there be that he will succeed for four years?" said Robert Dallek, a historian at the University of California at Los Angeles and biographer of President Lyndon B. Johnson.

The top strategist of President-elect Bill Clinton's campaign was fielding reporters' questions last week when the subject turned to the kind of mandate Mr. Clinton had won on Election Day. "That connotes something about governing, which I'm not really into," said James Carville, the Louisiana-born political consultant. It was a flippant remark, but it drew the line between the easy part of Mr.

Clinton's new career winning the election and the hard part delivering on a lot of promises fast.

Instead, their chore is to per-: suade enough of the voters who cast ballots for them Tuesday to return to the polls once more. "The race is going to come down to turnout, who does a bet- ter job of getting their voters to the polls," said Bobby Kahn, a former executive director of the state Democratic party.

New federal figures show that the medication is prescribed more often in metro Atlanta than in any other area of the South.

That's because it works, according to parents of children who need the drug to help them learn. Without it, their children can't survive in the classroom, By Peter Mantius STAFF WRITER. When Andrew Young traveled to Nicaragua in 1987 as mayor of Atlanta, he made headlines around the world. He also arranged a meeting between President Daniel Ortega and an officer of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International. Mr.

Young was on BCCI's payroll at the time, and he asked the bank to pay his $2,345.17 expense tab for the trip, newly released bank documents show. It was only one of the lobbying tasks Mr. Young performed for the bank while mayor of Atlanta. In all, the bank paid him and his personal organizations more than $350,000. Mr.

Experts estimate that as many as 40,000 of Georgia's school-age children take Ritalin. Inside, a look at the Ritalin controversy: Where it is being used the most, what parents think about it, problems with another drug now being used instead of it and some tips on how to deal with a child who has attention problems in the classroom.
