Law Professor Says
:tobacco settlement
.ignores minorities

. · lly JAMES HANNAH
· ~laCed l'ftSI Wriler
; DAYTON - A settlement between tobacco companies and state attorneys general ignores Jhe needs or minorities, a law professor says. ·
"There are a lot of great things in the ·setttement, but there are signifi·
~ant loopholes as far as the minority community," said Vemelli4 Randall, a
professor at Jhe University of Dayton and former public health nurse.
The settlement, which still requires approval by Congress and Jhe White
House, would end 40 state lawsuits.
·
Tobacco companies have agreed to pay the states $368 billion over 25
years, curb Jheir advertising and pay penalties if te'en-age smoking does not
drop. In return, Jhey won a ban on future class-action lawsuits, protection
against punitive damages and some restrictions on government control of
Jiicotinc.
· Randall said the Settlement does not deal with advertising directed at
minorities and Jhe poor. · ·
. "The places that tobacco companies will still be allowed to target are the
places that are predominately located in poor and minority communities,"
she ~aid. "There will still be that negative impa,ct."
.
. Randall, an adviser to 'Jhe Ohio Commission on Minority Health, helped
review President Clinton's health care reform pa,ckage. She said ignoring
. minorities in the tobacco settlement was no oversigllt.
"lthink probably it was a political decision, that regulating youth smok·
ing for people of all races and all classes is an easier political thing to sell,"
~he said.
. Lance Morgan, spokesman for the tobacco companies participating in Jhe
settlement, said Jhe advertising and marketing restrictions are meant to pro1-ide a comprehensive and national sOlution.
·
.
· "It applies to everyone equally," Morgan said. "Everyone will have Jhe
same legal rights. Everybody will have Jhe same ability to go into smokingcessation programs and see Jhe public-health benefits of reduced advcrtis·

ing.
• Randall, wbo is black, said studies have suggested tliat minorities and par· .
ticularly blacks have more trouble than whites quitting smoking.
: "And even when Jhey do smoking-cessation programs, they don't have
1he same rite of.success," she said. - •
'
• Randall also said tobacco companie~ spend a greater percentage of their ·
advertising budget on minority communities. ·
"They've been in Jhe forefront of advertising in the black community,'
. and Jbere 'are no restrictions on this target," she said.
Randall said the seulement also will make it harder for poor pe9ple to
be compensated for smoking-related medical problems because they don't
have Jhe money to go to court.
"It still makes individual people have to sue the company for Jheir indi·
yidual harm," sbe said. "The problem with that is that we know the poor
and minorities don't have the same access to the legal system."
. Randall saiil ber falher and
uncles died of smoking-related diseases.
And she said that as a nurse she witnessed ihe addiction of smoking.
"I saw people coming into Jhe emergency room with emphysema, with
lung disease;" she said. "They'd be on their last breath, and they'd be asking for a cigarette."

A corollary debate among tile

a grant from the American Council of

the Board of Education.
Among the enthusiasts is Joan
Irvine, vice chair of the Board of

Ohio recorded 17 traffic deaths on
the four-day holiday weekend, the
same number as on Jhe Fourth of July
weekend last year, the State Highway
Patrol said today.
'\ This year's toll included one

·
While most people associate New

apparently few give the summer hoi-.

" When you look at.all of the hpl!days in general, the three summer

said patrol spokeswoman, Sgt. Bren·

"No one stays home for the

"People get out and they move
around to different parties, different
places, whereas in the winter they
maybe tend to stay in one spot. Cold
beverages also are nice to have on hot
days. But continually drinking all day

it."
Federal safety statistics show

HE::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::~::~

WASHING10N- The Fourth of
July fueworb watched by members
of Congress might seem tame compared to what awaits them when Jhey
return to Capitol Hill.
During the holiday recess, lawmakers who oppose tight, new clean
air standards - which now boast a
presidential seal of approval- have
been c!,rafting plans to torpedo, or at
least bog down, Jhe contrOversial proposals. Meanwhile, supporters were
just as feverishly plotting ways to
make Jheir ideological foes miserable
if they try.
The debate over Jhe Environmental Protection Agency's standards
has been raging since wintertime,
when EPA administrator Carol
Browner unveiled her plan to crack
down on sniog and soot. But the
venue is now shifting from the White
House to Capitoll;lill.
Politicians, industries and envi·
ronmental groups had kept Jheir eyes
glued on the administration to see if
President Clinton would dilute or
embrace Jhe standards. But late last
month, after Vice President AI Gore
reportedly weighed in, Clinton
endorsed the plan.
This means Congress can sit back
and watch while the rules go into
effect. Or, more likely, lawmakers
can try, through ~legislation, to kill,
change or delay the standards.
Opponents admitted it would be
virtually impossible to block the
standards before July 19 - the dead·
line for the new rule to go into effect

-but said their legislative efforts, if
successful, cOIIId work just as well
retroactively.
.
And conaressional lawmakers
haven't beenjustsittingaround while
Clinton pondered .Jhe issue. They
ha~e staked out Jheir positions and
collected ammunition for the
inevitable ensuing bailie.
But it will almost certainly be an
uphill fight for opponents- many of
whom hail from industry-rich Midwestern states.
Rep. Ray LaHood, R-111 ., a vocal
critic of the EPA's rule, acknowledged the political hazards that may
make members hesitant to vote for
legislation to sink Jhe standards.
"There's no question that over the
last couple of years, members have
become gun shy about being perceived as anti-envirooment," LaHood
said. "Some of that played out in the
last election. Some ads that were run
against members (then) have made
Jhemalittlegunshyofanupordown
vote on this."
Nevertheless, there are already
two House bills pending tha~ could
force such a vote. One bipartisan bill
would put the new rule on hold for
five years while more studies are con·
dueled on the effects of smog and
soot. Another, by Rep. Bob Ney, ROhio, would delay the new rule until
the older 1990 standards are implemented.
"Carol Brownefis raising the hurdies in Jhe middle oflhe game," com·
plained Ney's legislative director,
Dave Hcil.."We feel we should stick
to Jhe original game."

Although Ney's bill has 32 bipartisan co-sponsors, LaHood warns,
"The idea of trying to pass a bill. to
delay them is not going to work,
because I'm sure the .president is
going to ~eto it" and opponents have
little chance of overriding him.
Generally, members say it is pre·
mature to predict how Congress will
ultimately handle the new proposals.
But many opponents of the standards
- who are wary of angering the
environmentally friendly electorate
- already have decided the most
effective strategy favors ingenuity
and subtlety over face-to-face combat.
Options they are weighing
include:
• Attaching to Jhe appropriations
bill that contains EPA funding a "rid·
er" that would gut or delay the stan·
dards. LaHood said he plans to lobby Republican leaders to hinge the
EPA's budget on the condition that
the standards be delayed for up to
five years while more studies on their
costs and benefits are conducted.
But this strategy is probably less
than desirable to lawmakers who saw
similar efforts to attach environ mental riders to funding bills blow up in
their faces during the last Congress.
"It would probably be (Appropriations Committee chairman Bob)
Livingston's worst nightmare to have
to deal with more fights like th~t. ''
said Kevin Wheeler, press secretary
for Rep. Sherwood Boehlen, R-N.Y.,
an ardent fan of the new standards.
Rep. John Din~ell, D-Mich., a

WASHINGTON - If you notice
a green tint to the White House these
days, credit Vice President AI Gore.
As he prepares to run for president
as an environmentalist in 2000, Gore
has been using his · unprecedented
influence at Jhe White House to
prod. cajole and push Bill Clinton
into taking tougher stands on pollution.
In his biggest and most startling
victory to date, Oore last month con·
vinced the president to reject Jhe
advice of key White House aides and
back controversial new anti-smog
regulations proposed by the Envi·
ronmcn'ta! Protection Agency.

"It's a testament to Gore's influence that Clinton went with the reg·

Gore on most environmental issues .
Wi!hout Gore, many environmen·

predicted Marnatha Gowda, an usaciatc representative of the Sierra

Gowda warned that the Sierra

this.
Whether the Senate would take ;
such steps depends on House action :

Sampras wins fourth Wimbledon title

1987
By STEVE WIL$TEIN
WIMBLEDON, England (AP)
- Hislory is Pete Sampras' only
competitor.
Four Wimbledons. Ten Orand
Slams. VtnuallY. no one in the way of
more to come. His rivals these days
are all retired - Bjorn Borg, Rbd
Laver, Roy Emerson.
Cedric Pioline, chasing aces and
groping after groundstrokes, · certainly could do nothing Sunday to
slop Sampras as he put the finishing
touch on a tournament he dominated lilce no other in his sterling career.
It wasn't just the score, ~. 6-2,
6-4, .or the lime, a mere 94 minutes,
or even the ace count, 17, against
Pioline that distinguished this Wimbledon l'rom all of Sampras' olher
major championships.
It was lhe way he put together the
whole package of his skills - the
serve that was broken only lwice in
118 games over two weeks, the back·
hand relurns thai dispirited Pioline
and everyone else, and the speed
with which Sampras raced to the net.
"I don 'I know what bappened

"With Baggy, ove·r and over he 's

lhe guy you don't want to beat you, "

a pilch and he'sjust so good he beats
you if you don't make it.!&lt; .
Luis Gonzalez followed Bagwell
with his fourth homer for a S-4 lead
in the thi&lt;d.
"It was probably just a matter of
lime before we slaned hitting." Bagwell said. "We haven't been swinging the bals and Hampy (Mike
Hamplon) gol behind early, but kept
us in the game and we came back
~nd scored runs. "
Hamplon gave up four runs on

Is this lhe team vinually everybody with any knowledge of baseball said would finish last in the

"There were not a lot of expectations for this team coming out of
spring !raining.~' first baseman J.T.
Snow said. '.'I don't lhink we've
overachieved, bull think we've surprised some people."
Some?
Mark Gardner allowed five hits in
six scoreless innings as the Giants
beat Colorado 7-0 Sunday to sweep
their three-game series. With lhal
victory, San Francisco reached the
All-Star break with a six-game lead
in the division.
And lhe Giants did the way they
have so often this year.
"'We jumped them early lnday,
thai always helps," said manager
Dusty Baker, whose team now has
seven shutouts. '"We gave Mark a
big lead early."
Indeed they · did, scoring four
runs in the first inning.

back.

In a final devoid of drama, or
~ven the comic relief of a streaker
like last year, Sampras broke Pioline
euly in each set. After a typically
brulal backhand return !hat flew
· past Pioline for a break to 2-1, Sampres fairly skipped off court with
long, loping strides like a big kid in
the playground.
This is where Sampras shows his
personality, and if it is muted Compared to the lilces of Andre Agassi or
John McE11r9e, he couldn't care ·
less.
"'I know I'm not Dave Letterman
when it comes to interviews," Sampras said. "But the way I am on the
court is·the way I've been my whole
life, and il's lhe way I'll continue to
be. Very much to myself and a lot
like Borg was.
"That's why when Andre and I
were competing, he was the one who
had the emotion. And McEnroe Wl!S
Borg's rival. Thai's what the game
needs right now. But I don 'i plan on
changing for anybody because that's

ever served in my career." ·
Sampras, getting better with age
at 2S, i~ changing one of the basic
elements of tennis. He's so quick to

who I am."

That's all he ever needs to be to
win at Wimbledon.
He held serve at love three times
in the firsl sel, and yielded a lotal of
only four points in his two other ser·
vice games that set. In .thC second set,
he wenl one better, dropping just

three points oo serve.
The only lime Sampru found
himself even close 10 trouble wu in
the third sel, when he double-faulted and faced his only break point of
the match in the eighth game. He
quickly snuffed out that threat ~ith
two service winners and a volley that
gave him a S-3 lead.
Piolin'e staved off defeat for a few
moments with the help of his I 3th
ace. Sainpras then put him oul of his
misery with a service winner on ·
1118tch point that he celebrated by
raising his hands ,.00 placing his list
on his heart as he faced his new girlfriend, actress Kimberly Williams.
Pioline, the lint Frenchman in the
Wunbledon final since Yvon Petra
won in I 946, played well enough to
beal almost anyone, or al leasl give
them a good match. Against Sampres, who has now bealen him in all
eight of their meetings, including the
1993 U.S. Open final, Pioline was
simply outclassed.
~ ·He's playing very good, but he's .
not God," said Pioline. True enough, ·
bul no mortal could have served.bet·
ter.
Sampras is as much a slUdent of
!ennis history as he is a maker of it.
He knows his place among the
game's greats, and what he must do '
to be considered the best.
His 10 major titles tied him with
Bill Tilden for the.most by an American, and he trails only Borg and
Laver (II each) and Emenon (12).
'!'he one gap in Sampras' trophy
cheSI is the French Open, and he
would dearly love to fill that. But
even if so.me would refuse to call

him the best because of his lack of
success on clay, .he's building a
good case for that claim with all his
other triumphs.
"To have won 10 by the age of
25, I never really thought that would
happen," said Sampras, wbo cap·
lUred thO Australian Open title in JanUary. "This is what's going to keep
me in the game, I hope. for a lot of
years - the major tournaments."
. Winning his lOth major boo~
Sampras' hopes of adding No. II al
the· U.S. Open in two months and
closing in on the record.
· " It just makes me feel that 12 is
something that's so much more realistic, !hat I can break the record. So
lo be put into the same !1Cntence as
a Laver and those guys ... you can 't
have a more flattering comparison.
This is what' s important lo me."
Sampras matched the Wimbledon
total of Laver, his childhood hero,
and only Borg's five straight (197680) is better in the modem era. The
Wimbledon record is seven lilies by
William Renshaw in the 1880s.
"I don'tlike thinking of myself in
tems of hislory," said Sampras,
who won $697,000 to hike his career
earnings to $27. I million. "lfeellike
l'm'still in the middle o( my career
and it's not over yet."
What's most important, he said, is
his loogevily in the game.
"I'm going to keep on playing
unlit there comes a day where I feel
lilce I'm not going lobe in contention
for slams," he said. ".Thai will be the
day that I'll slop. I have a lot of
respect for what Boris (Becker) did,
· but I am nowhere near lhat day."

restore ihe MMion to full power.

July 17.
.
T1ie spacewalk is aimed at undoina some of 111e lllniiF elllllcd by the
June 2j colliaicln wiih a pRVious c•·
JO ship, which pierced ihe Spektr
module and tempcnily cut power on
the slalion by ali11051 half.
· "It was a very good automatic
docking," SerJei Krikalyov, deputy
chief of Mission Control, said of
today's hookup between lhe Mir and
a frolrcss ca1J0 ship about:ZSO miles
above Earth.
T1ie docking was don~· on automatic pilot. In conlrastto the June 25
accident. which occUlTed as the crew
attempted a practice docking 115ing
manual controls.
At Mission Control jll51 outside
Moscow. flight controllers watched
on a lliant television screen as Mir

and ihe cargo ship approached each
other high above Siberia.
The controllers applauded and
congratulaled each other when the
Mir and the cargo ship linked up
smoothly at I0 a.m. Moscow time (2
a.m. EDT).
After . II years in space, Mir has
now docked with 78 cargo ships, and
it's normally a routine affair. But
today's rendezvous attracted special
auention due to the serious crash
almost two weeks ago.
Since then, the Spektr module, one
of six modules on ihe Mir, has been
5C81ed off from the rest of the spacecraft,. and there have been renewed
questions about safety aboard the
agins Mir.
"The question for the United
States is do we consider (Mir) habit·
able?" said Douglas Englund, the top
NASA representative in Russia. "At
the current time it is."
When they undertake the repairs,
the top priority is to reattach cables
connecting ihe Spektr's now-idle
solar batteries to the Mir 's.main power system.
If successful, the Mir will be back
to more-or-less full power, though the
Spektr itself will remain sealed off
and there are no plans for the current

crew to try to patch up the hole in the
module.
T1ie Spektr's power cables were
intentionally detached moments after
the June 25 accident, leaving the
spa=raft with n:duced power supplies ever since.
Nonnally, the Mir's crew can
open the lwch to a newly arrived cargo ship within an· hour or two, but
Russian officials said the process was
being delayed for several hours today
while the team concentrated on
replenishing power supplies.
"We had to postpone (opening the
hatch) a bit because we have to
replenish energy," Krikalyov said,
adding that the delay was not a serious concern.
T1ie Progress, which was launched
Saturday, has a total payload ·of 2.4
tons, including electri~al cables and
a custom-designed hatch plate that
are to be installed in the Spektr module.
The cargo ship also brought food,
water, oxygen, half a ton of fuel, scientific equipment for the next Russian-French crew as well as personal
gear for U.S. astronaut Michael
Foalc, who can't get to his belongings
in the Spektr .module.

'playing field so th:it Medicare HMOs
will move into communities they pre·
viously avoided, offering seniors a
choice between traditional fee-forservice medicine and managed care.
Rutledge said.
OChers fear unintended consequences.
"The impact on our beneficiliries
is going to be direct and i!llmediate,"
said Tom Mahowald, a spokesman
for United HealthCare Corp., with
approximately 257,000 Medicare
members in its HMOs in 13 states.
"Either our members are going to see
cuts in their benefits or they are soing
to have premiums imposed or
increased."
At issue is a complex fonnula
called the "adjusced ~verage per
eapila cost" calculated by the Heallh
·CIR Financing Administration, ihe
huae federal agency responsible for
adn)inist.ering the nearly $200 billion
Medicare proplllll.
The adjusted average per capita

coSI represents what Medicare estimates it will spend per month per
beneficiary in a given county.
- The rate is dimrent for eacll
county. For example, in Green Bay,
Wis .• the rate is $326. but in Miami,
Fla., il is $748.
For each beneficiary an approved
HMO signs up, Medicare pays 9S
percent of the adjusted average per
capita cost.
.
Predictably, Medicare HMOs have
concentrated in counties . with the
highest reimbursements.
Nearly 7S percent ·of Medicare
HMO enrollment is clustered in just
six states: California, Florida, Oregon, Texas, Minnesota and New
York.
·
Compounding the uneven geographic distribution is a Siron&amp; body

health care providers. · ·
If the Medicare reimbursement'
rate exceeds an HMO's costs, federal law Rquires the plan to accept lower payments or provide additiOiial
benefits or lower out-of-pocket costs
to beneficiaries.
Because most Medicare HMOs
offer extra benefits at little or no cost
to members who join, experts conclude these companies have no lrou·
ble making money off their government conli'IICIS.
These manapd care companies
were supposed to reduce Medicare
spending but jnstead liave apparent-,
ly had the opposite effect.

Congress hopes to fix this problem
by changing how the HMO reimbursement rate1is calculaled. In addition, counties with the highest rates
would have their future srowlh
restricted whjltthose at the bottom
would receive. ·g increases over the
next five yeail .

The House version would create a

Times said.
"Nowhere in the countrY has a
.law that say~ if certain levels of heavy
metals are exceeded, it can't be a fertilizer," said Ali Kashani. ·who directs
fenilizer regulation in Washington
state.
Unlike many other industrialized
nations, the United States does not
regulate.'fertilizers.·That makes it virtually impossible lo figure out how
much fenilizer contains recycled
hazardous wastes. And laws in most
states, including Washington, are far
from stringent.
Canada's limit for heavy metals
such as lead and cadmium in fertilizer is I0 to 90 times lower than the
U.S. limit fQI' metals in sewage
sludge, while the United States has no
limit for metals in fertilizer, the
newspaper said.
"This is a definite problem," said
Richard Loeppen, a soil scientist at
TexasA&amp;M University and autborof
several publishcll paper5 on toxic elements in fenilizers. "The puhlic
.needs to know."

FOR 111M IN RETURN TO
SIIOW Mlf APPRECIATION...

1 OF~ERED lliM M¥ .
HAT. BUT IT WOULDN'T
FIT OVER 1115 EARS,.

Homer penned, '"Those which
pass tllrough the one of sawn ivory
aJe deceptove, j)rin~ing tidings which
come 10 noughl, bur lhose which
issue from lhe one of polished hom
bring true results when a mortal sees
lhem." Aboul whal was he commenting?
Today's deal fealures ·a play of
sawn ivory.
During lhe frenelic auclion,
Nonh's double, as lhree suits had
been bid, showed length in the founh
sui I (beans) wilh suppon for panner's
suil (diamonds). It wouldn 'I be everyone's choice widt su~h bad beans.
Probably four spades "O(Ould have
been one down, bul five ' diamonds
looks easy. doesn't it?
However .. . West led ·llle spade
six: jack, queen, ace. Declmr played
a diamond 10 dummy and called for
dte club (our. Sitting East was Shawn
Quinn, who was on dte American
ream dtal won dte Women's World
Team Olympiad last year. Smoodtly,
she wenl in widt her club king. Then
sh~ switched to the ace and four of
beans.
Thinking Easl had both ,lop clubs
bul no bean queen, declmr won wilh
dte bean king, returned 10 dummy
with a lnlmp, and ran lhe club queen;
discarding his bean jack. When Wesl
prodoced !lie. "impossible" club ace,
dte conlraet was one down.
· Homer was wriling about the
gales lhrough which dreams pass.
And Roger Lord, for he was lhc
declarer, didll '1 dream Quinn could
have lite club king wiiiiOUIIIte ace for
her silky play at trick dtree. Yet he
polished off an anicle aboulthe deal
for lhe Daily Bullelin al lhe Spring
Nalionals in Dallas.

Declaring himself lhe "lone con~rvalive in lhe race," fonner U.S.

Rep. f.J'ank A. Cn:means, R-Gallipoljs, said this morning he will run for ·
lhe southern Ohio seat he lost just a
year ago.
In formally declaring his candidacy for lhe Sixth District seat, Cremeans said he had unfinished business in Congress and asked for ihe
~upport of "all of those who share lhe
ttaditional conservative values" that
he says sets him apan from the other candidates.
He will challenge Lt. Gov. Nancy
Hollister in the Republican primary.
Hollister annoqnced ber candidacy
last week.
U.S. Rep. Ted Slrickland, a Democrat from Lucasville, is expecled to
seek re-election in the dislrict lhat
covers much of soulhern Ohio.
Strickland defeated Cremeans in the
. 1996 election by a slim margin.
Cremeans said he had hoped to
wait until• September to begin his
campaign, but Hollisler's entty into
lhe race changed his plans. He said
Hollister is too moderate for the dis'lricl.
"There are few differences in the
politics of Ted Strickland and Nancy
Hollister," Cremeans said. "I'm lhc
only conservative in the race. that I
know of."
«;;te~s pledged this morning to
f.glit for "strong conservative values

"Frankly, I see no one else who

The rehabilitation clinic, operaled

for the 12 weeks of supervised exercise sessions and did bill Capitani for

Cremeans also spoke brieOy aboul
the campaign "of distortion and mis- ,
information waged" during the 1996
race on issues "... like Medicare and
student loans."
He no1ed that after Eleclion Day,
"Republicans and Democrats both
tackled the issues with an 'eye toward
solutions very similar to 1he ones proposed" by himself and olher members
of the 104th Congress.
"Unfonunately, the 1996 cam-

paign run by my opponent and his
supporters was one filled with messages offear, misinformation and, in
some cases, outright lies,"' Cn:means
said . • - · " . .. __ ,
For his part. Slricklan4 ~t!lat
the campaign was plagued by misinformation, but disagreed about the
source.
'The campaign that was waged
last time was not very edifying,"
Slrickland said Monday, charging
that "wild and irresponsible accusalions" had been leveled against him
by the Cremeans campaign.
Slrickland said he was not surprised lhat Cremeans had entered lhe
race.
·
The districl has been a polilical bat·
tleground in recent years. Strickland
was first elected in 1992, bul he lost
to Cremeans in 1994 before reclaiming the seat from Cremeans in 1996.
