New evidence in case suggests Colosio killed by lone assassin Associated Press MEXICO CITY — The investigation into the assassination of Mexico's ruling part}' presiden­ tial candidate dragged on Tuesday with the release of more evidence saying Luis Donaldo Colosio was killed bv one man. The attorney general s office released a sum­ mary of a report by two handwriting experts. They analyzed some of Mario Aburto Martinez's notes, and concluded that he alone was responsi­ ble for the assassination. They said they believed "that Aburto ... is the intellectual and material author of the crime; that it was premeditated; that he [Aburto] was politically motivated; [and] that he carried out the killing alone. But others expressed frustration at the slow pace of the investigation, some even accusing the government of a cover up. Colosio, candidate for the ruling Institutional Revolutionary- Party, or PRI, was gunned down * camPaigned in a working-class neighborhood in Tijuana. ^ ^ Aburto, who has repeatedly stated that he acted alone, was arrested and charged immedi­ ately. ° But just as quickly, theories and speculation began circulating, saying that he had been part of a conspiracy. The Tuesday statement from the attorney gen­ eral s office said with the latest report investiga­ tors could draw "substantial conclusions" about rus actions. Tuesda\ s report adds little to the investiga­ tion: under Mexican law handwriting analysis is not admissible in court. Much of what was con­ tained in Aburto's notes has already been made public. Some Mexicans say they are starting to tire of the draw n-out investigation. Some who think there is more to the assassination than one lone gunman believe the government may have some­ thing to hide. Alejandro Encinas Rodriguez, a deputy for the opposition Democratic Revolution Party, told newspaper Reforma that he believed a cover-up was in the making. "I believe that a political decision has been taken to sweep [the case] under the rug and not get to the bottom of it," Encinas said. "Evidently when you don't go to the bottom of an investigation ... you're trying to cover up for someone," Encinas said. No time for a second presidential debate, says Mexican party chief Associated Press MEXICO CITY — The leader of M exico's governing p a rty savs there's no time for another televised debate of presidential candidates before the Aug. 21 election. Critics say the Institutional Revo­ lutionary Part\r, or PRI, is just trying to deny two major opposition candi­ dates time to air the issues. "Tim e is running s h o r t/' said Ignacio Pichardo, president of the PRI, which has not lost a presiden­ tial election since its 1929 founding. "In my opinion there's not going to be enough tim e left for new debates between the presidential candidates," he said in comments pu b lish ed T uesday in Mexican newspapers. * He would not rule out the possi­ bility of another debate. A first debate amonen maínr canHi. A first debate among major candi­ dates May 12 was watched by 30 m illion M exicans, giving an o\ emight boost to a sharp-tongued lawyer, Fernandez Diego de Ceval- los, candidate of the conservative National Action Party. Fernandez has been running in most polls just behind the ruling party candidate, Ernesto Zedillo. For the first time, a ruling party vic­ tor}' isn't necessarily assured. In third place is repeat candidate Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas of the left- leaning Democratic Revolutionary Party. He claims the PRI cheated him out of the presidency in 1988, when he lost to Carlos Salinas de Gortari. Up to 30 percent of voters are reported undecided, and opponents speculated Tuesday that the govem- ing party could lose ground to rivals if another televised debate j were held. The leader of C árdenas' party, Porfirio Muñoz Ledo, told the offi­ cial Notim ex new s agency that Pichardo s statement was "clear evi­ dence' of such fear by the ruling party to debate Cardenas in particu­ lar. Zedillo told The Associated Press last week he had invited all nine candidates to a debate, but that no formal agreement could be struck. "I h a v e n 't received a clear response. This matter is unclear but net on account of me," said Zedillo, who got a late start as stand-in for Luis Donaldo Colosio, the govern­ ing party candidate slain March 23 in Tijuana. The demand for debates comes am id a clam or by dem ocratic activists for an open campaign after 65 years of ruling party victories, often amid charges of vote fraud. Late last week, privately owned TV giant Televisa, under fire for giv­ ing more and better coverage to the governing party's presidential can­ didate, offered free air time to the challengers. The network norm ally charges $100,000 a m inute for prime time political announcements, far beyond the budget of most opposition par­ ties. Televisa sent letters to all nine parties Friday, inviting them to sub­ mit three 15-minute programs to be aired four times each between July 18 and Aug. 13. Despite some com­ plaints that it was not enough, the opposition candidates have happily accepted. About 80 percent of the television audience in Mexico, a country of 84 million, tunes in to the network.

In the first hours of the hearing, Brever was not asked about the con­ flict-of-interest reports. On Monday, White House officials had released numerous documents they said dis­ credited the reports. A millionaire, Breyer held sub­ stantial holdings in the Lloyd's of London insurance company in the 1980s while ruling in toxic waste cleanup cases in which Lloyd's and its investors potentially had a finan­ cial stake. Breyer told the committee he was m oving to divest him self of all insurance holdings, and would try to expedite his getting out of a con­ tractual arrangement under which he is supposed to remain a Lloyd's investor until 1995. ~ ~ Hom e state Sen. Edw ard „ * Kennedy, a member of the commit­ tee, seemed determined to answer those critics who have labeled Brey­ er as too sympathetic to big busi­ ness. Kennedy, D-Mass., used most of the time allotted to him for ques­ tioning to bolster the image of a judge committed to protecting the environment and American work­ ers. The senator told of two Massa­ chusetts women whose job-bias vic­ tory was upheld by Breyer's court. "He really stood up for all of us," Kennedy quoted one of the women as saying. Breyer played dow n his own scholarly pursuits and his reputa­ tion as a brainy academic. "My mother did not want me to spend too m uch tim e w ith my books," he told the committee. "Of course, she was right. My ideas about people do not come from libraries."

Breyer was nominated by Presi­ dent Clinton to replace the retiring Harry A. Blackmun and become the nation's 108th Supreme Court jus­ tice. Clinton cited Breyer's abilities as a consensus builder. As a witness, Breyer displayed some of the quali­ ties that earned him that reputation. Breyer did not w ait until the question was completed before say­ ing, " \e s " or "Right" to acknowl­ edge his agreement. One of the m ore in terestin g points came when the conservative Hatch asked Breyer about a 1992 Suprem e C ourt decision th at strengthened its 30-year ban on offi­ cially sponsored prayers in public schools. The 1992 ruling barred clergy-led prayers at public school graduation ceremonies. Hatch asked Breyer whether he saw a legal difference betw een graduation ceremony prayers led by students and those led by school officials. Rather than trying to duck the question by saying it's one like­ ly to confront the Supreme Court, Breyer answered: "It sounds as if it [who led the prayer] would be a rel­ evant fact." A clearly satisfied Hatch said, "I think that's good." The confirm ation hearing is expected to last through Friday.

"That's kind of a troubling point for stu d e n ts," D urbin said. He added that students would have a chance to introduce legislation with faculty support. "As a practical matter, that's as good as w hat happens now, because if students present some­ thing w ithout faculty support it won't fly anyway," Durbin said. D urbin also said the standing committee on Graduate Educational Policy could serve the same pur­ pose as the G raduate Assembly, although he said the elimination of the Graduate Assembly may never become part of the finished propos­ al. The SA's vote is not necessary for the passage of the proposal, which needs approval from the Faculty Senate, the University Council, LT President Robert Berdahl and the UT System administration. O ther reform s outlined in the draft include a change in the wav proposals are forwarded from the faculty's governing body to the UT System for final approval. The current Handbook of Operat­ ing Procedures specifies that "the actions of the [University] Council constitute recommendations to the President." The president sends the legislation to the UT System execu­ tive vice chancellor for academic affairs if he chooses to approve it Under the proposed system, "The President ... shall make every effort to resolve any disagreements, with the Faculty Council being asked to reconsider when that is appropri­ ate." If the president sends a differ­ ent proposal to the UT System, he must also send "all such Council recommendations." The voting members of the Facul­ ty Council would consist of 60 elect­ ed faculty members and the elected secretary of the general faculty. Top administrators, nine students and two staff members would serve as non-voting members. The draft calls for-creating a Fac­ ulty Council Executive Committee to facilitate work with the adminis­ tration. A chair-elect position would also be created to ease the transition between presiding offi­ cers. The membership of the standing comm ittees w ould also be made uniform by the draft's provisions, and the redundancy' between Facul­ ty Senate and L niversity-wide com­ mittees would be eliminated. The first rationale given on the draft for the proposed changes, including the unification of the two legislative bodies, is "greater effi­ ciency and effectiveness." "The hope was that we could streamline things" with governance reform , Cline said. He said the administration's helpful attitude is essential to success, however. If the ad m in istratio n is not favorably inclined to a faculty role in governance, reform doesn't mat­ ter," Cline said. Cline appointed the committee in September 1993, and he said it has been m eeting frequently" since then.

To the d eligh t of his au d ien ce, he sp o k e the w ords in w ell- rehearsed German. Tens of thousands of cheering, flag-w aving Germ ans jammed Pariser Platz, the plaza in front of the gate, to see and hear Clinton, the first American president to visit the eastern sector since Harry Truman in 1945. We stand together where Europe's heart was cut in half and we celebrate unity," Clinton said. His w ords — translated into German — were scrolled before the audience on two huge screens erected near his stage, which was surrounded by bulletproof glass. The day was brilliantly sunny and hot. The crowd waved small German and American flags, and people leaned from the w indows of a nearby building to watch Clinton. Police estimated the crowd at 50,000. The White House insisted it was at least double that and produced a German protocol officer w ho agreed with the higher figure.

The gate, topped with a chariot drawing a winged angel, was enclosed within Soviet-run East Berlin when the Berlin Wall was erected in 1961. The gate regained its status as the center of Berlin on Nov. 9, 1989, when the Wall opened amid the crumbling oí communism. To his audience's delight, Clinton spoke several sentences in German. "Amerika steht an ihrer Seite, jet/t und fuer immer" - "America is on your side, now and forever." Members of the audience waited two hours or more for the president's arrival. Amid mounting anticipation, Clinton walked 200 yards from the parliament building to the Brandenburg Gate He was accompanied by his wife, Hillary, and Kohl and his wife, Hannelore.

Electronic welfare found open to fraud Associated Press WASHINGTON — Federal investigators have unraveled lucrative and illegal schemes to convert food stamps into cash in Maryland, the only state that uses electronic bank­ ing technology to deliver welfare benefits. The Clinton administration, seeking to reduce welfare fraud and abuse, wants to expand the paper-free electronic benefits transfer nationwide within the decade. But federal court records from four laundering cases in Maryland suggest the switch from paper food stamps to an electronic card has not deterred som e recipients from sell­ ing their benefits to unscrupulous retailers for cash. However, electronic transfer may make it easier to catch the cheats. Food stamp recipients in Maryland are given an elec­ tronic card and their benefits are automatically credited to their account at the first of the month. 1 o buy groceries, they present the "Independence Card" to an authorized retailer, w ho runs it through an electronic tracking device that records the card number, date, time and amount. The recipient must enter a personal identifica­ tion number into a keypad to complete the transaction. In the case of electronic trafficking, recipients go through the same procedure but instead of buying groceries, the retailer debits their account and gives them cash, generally 50 to 60 cents on the dollar. The grocer is then reimbursed tor the full amount by the federal government. In one case, the owners of two small retail food stalls in an indoor market in Baltimore were arrested for trafficking in more than $1.2 million in food stamps over two years Associated Press KIGALI, R w anda — R ebels launched a new offen siv e against corn ered tro o p s, g o v er n m en t advancing to the ou tsk irts of the western town of Ruhengeri, the top rebel leader said Tuesday.

Welfare plan would hit women hardest What do O.J. Simpson and Rick Mercier TEXAN COLUMNIST Bill Clinton have in com­ m on? T h ey both b a tte r women. W hile O.J. has done it with his fists, C linton is doing it with his m outh and hopes soon to in flict some real pain with his pen. Clin­ ton has decided to follow up on at least one of his campaign promises by beating up on welfare mothers, with the intention of sending them all out into the labor market. O f c o u rse , w e lfa re m o th e rs already work in the household, and that labor is as worthy of a wage as any other in our social factory. A task force ap p ointed by R ichard N ixo n back '7 0 s acknowledged the value of house­ work when it wrote that "subsidies to A F D C [A id to F a m ilie s w ith D e p e n d e n t C h ild re n ] m o th e rs could well be justified as payments for non-market work rather than as a dole in lieu of 'work.' " in th e e a rly Today, as politicians and pundits fall over each other trying to get in their shots at welfare recipients, it seem s th at the N ixon task force m u st h a v e b een p a ck e d w ith a bunch of radicals. In d e e d , in th is era o f "N e w Democrats'' and old-time ideology about work, welfare recipients are expected to fulfill their role as part o f the "r e s e r v e a rm y " o f la b o r. What is this role? It's to help hold down the wages of workers on the lower rungs of the wage hierarchy by competing with them for jobs. Clinton's welfare reform, then, is the la te s t ta c tic in th e o n g o in g assault on w ages in this country, and, as usual, women would be hit the hardest. The Clinton plan would add sig­ nificantly to the ranks of women 25 and older who earn no more than m inim um w age. C urrently, these women number close to 1.6 million, or 33 percent of all adult workers w ho m ake m inim um w age only. O v e ra ll, 40 p e rce n t o f w om en working full-time year round earn less than $13,500, an incom e that pu ts a fam ily o f fou r b elow the poverty line. Vet rath er than lo o k in g at the position of women in our economv politicians are busy vilifying those women who are the most economi­ cally deprived. A certain "conven­ tional wisdom' has emerged about these w om en: They have ille g iti­ m ate ch ild ren to collect w elfare; FW NGUNE they have more and more children so they can increase their benefits; they and their offspring are caught in a "cycle of dependency." But as is often the case, the con­ ventional wisdom is wrong. UTNE Reader reports this month that no correlation exists betw een illegiti­ macy rates and the level of benefits a state offers. The m agazine also informs us that the average welfare family has the same number of chil­ dren as the national average. Final­ ly, UTNE cites a study that found four out of five daughters of w el­ fa re m o th e rs d id no t go on to receive welfare benefits as adults. There are som e other prevalent misconceptions about welfare. For example, the belief exists that w el­ fare is b a n k ru p tin g the g o v e rn ­ ment. It's not. The m ain w elfare pro­ gram in this country (AFDC) costs $24 billion, the amount the federal governm ent coughs up to bankers every six weeks to service the debt or the sum that the Pentagon pisses away every four weel<£. And hand­ outs to corporate America, from tax breaks, subsidies and free or subsi­ dized use of federal land, will total $104 billion this year. That's $30 bil­ lion m ore than the exp en d itu res a sso cia te d w ith all fe d era l p ro ­ g ra m s fo r the p o o r co m b in ed (excluding Medicaid). Som e peop le also b elie v e that welfare recipients — and the poor in general — have it too easy. But co n sid er th at the m edian Á FD C benefit for a family of four (control­ ling for inflation) has shrunk by 45 percent since 1970. C onsider, too, that only 59 percent of poor ch il­ dren even receive AFDC. It is clear that welfare recipients have little to do with the debt the federal governm ent has am assed since the late '70s. It is equally clear that women and children suffer the most in our economic order. So instead of heaping more ver­ bal abuse on welfare mothers, let's heed the wisdom of that extremist element within the Nixon adminis­ tration and pay women (and men too) for their housework.

They have sued the Texas Board of Bar Examin­ ers to remove bar application questions that ask about the applicant's mental health history. The advocates claim these questions violate the Am ericans with D isabilities Act of 1990 bv singling out applicants with a mental disability tor greater scrutiny and stigmatizing them with the label of mental illness. : The suit is yet another exam ple of the well- intentioned tw isting of civil rights legislation that has led to such absurd suits as those over h a n d ic a p p e d -a c c e ss sh o w er sta lls fo r nude d an cers and B raille in stru ctio n s for drive-up banking windows. The A D A p ro h ib its d iscrim in atio n against j .! ,ie hidividuals with physical or m ental disabilities. But mental illness can clearly affect an individual's fitness to practice law. Questions a b o u t su ch illn e s s are m ean t to d e te rm in e w hether the applicant has the basic qu alifica­ tions to practice law. Because the relationship between lawyer and client requires a high degree o f integrity and trust, the screening process for bar adm ission includes a determination of the applicant's char­ acter and m oral fitness. The qu estio n s about mental health are necessary to protect the public trom lawyers who are not mentally or em otion­ ally stable enough to fulfill their duties. This protection is needed because attorneys facing disciplinary action often point to their dis­ abilities as mitigating circum stances. In W ash­ ington, D C., an attorney recently claimed that he embezzled over $1 million from his firm over a period of five years because he was suffering from manic depression and alcoholism. And an Illinois attorney facing disbarm ent claimed his bulimia caused him to purchase cocaine. These are extreme examples, but the problem is w idespread. The A m erican Bar A ssociation ound that between 40 and 60 percent of lawyers appearing before disciplinary boards had some type of substance abuse problem. Ten percent of Iexas attorneys who claim a disability during the grievance process cite mental illness.

An affirm ative answ er does not autom atically dis­ q u alify so m eo n e from ad m ission to the bar Instead the questions elicit information that can be used to investigate w hether applicants are likely to violate professional norms in the future. In most cases, treatm ent is enough to disp-J any risk. And because the questions and investi­ gation are completely confidential, any threat of stigma is m inim ized. The Texas Board's ques­ tions are narrowly tailored and are necessary to d eterm in e an a p p lic a n t's q u a lifica tio n to be licensed, so they do not violate the ADA Attorneys are held to a high ethical standard.

But we need to ex ten d th e cu rfew to include adults, as well — six of seven mur­ ders are committed by adults, according to the FBI. I he most likely murder victim is a young adult (18 to 24 years old) who is two times more likely than a teen-ager to get killed. So let s raise the curfew to include th is group. Does the age of 25 sound OK? Oh, of course there would be exceptions i r k i n g young adults would have an exemption until their respective shifts were over.O r maybe a note from their parents would suffice. The real travesty, the real assault on civil liberties, the real irony to the curfew meant to curb violent deaths is that seven times as many infants die each year of malnutrition due to poverty than teens and young adults die of murder.

"I don't think that restricting the rights of an entire non-voting seg­ ment of our population is the right thing to do," Buell Steelm an, UT economics senior, told the audience at the Joe C.

Jay Jacobson, American Civil Lib­ e rtie s U nion ex e cu tiv e d ire c to r, said, "If the rationale for curfews is that 23 percent of juvenile crim es occur [between 11 p.m. and 6a.m.], then what should be done if 23 per­ cent of adult crimes takes place dur­ ing the sam e hours? Are w e going to establish a curfew for adults? "T here's a general feeling th at young people are out of control but if you analyze the juvenile crimes, they are pfobably less serious than adult crimes," Jacobson added. If the proposal passes, youths 16 and younger may be charged with a Class C m isdem eanor and, on con­ viction, pay a maximum $500 fine if found on the streets betw een the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from m id­ night to 6 a.m. Fridays and Satur­ days. According to statistics from the Austin Police Department, 34 adults and one juvenile w ere arrested in connection with homicides in 1993. Overall, juveniles accounted for 14 percent of arrests. However, juveniles accounted for more than 40 percent of arrests for auto theft, arson and vandalism in 1993, according to police records. However, the talk about civil lib­ erties was tem p ered by concerns over crime. "W h ere are m y rig h ts w h en som eone d am ag e s m y p ro p e rty ?

The most vocal criticism after an address by Alfonso Fraga Perez came from a Cuban native who now is an American businesswoman and from a military veteran of the Bay of Pigs invasion. Fraga, Cuba's highest-ranking diplomat in the United States, said he w as not fazed by the anti-Cuba com ­ m e n ts th a t fo llo w ed his sp eech to the Free T rad e Alliance of San Antonio. That's a normal reaction," said Fraga, whose official title is chief of the Cuban interests section to the United States. "They want to try to remain an obstruction in the relations between Cuba and the United States." After chastising the U.S. trade embargo of his nation as a "cruel and inhum ane policy," Fraga told about 75 members of the San Antonio business group that Cuba has m ade progress in education, m edicine and tech­ nologies since Fidel Castro became its leader in the 1959 revolution. "What we need from foreign partners are m arkets," Fraga said. Among the nations that have business ties with Cuba, he said, are Canada, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Spain, France, Italy and Germany. Though there are no official diplom atic relatio n s between the United States and Cuba, Fraga has offices in Washington. C uba's econom y has suffered since the collapse of socialist governm ents in Eastern Europe and the disin- Fraga, Cuba’s highest-ranking diplo­ mat in the United States, said he was not fazed by the anti-Cuba comments that followed his speech to the Free Trade Alliance of San Antonio. tegration of the Soviet Union. But Fraga said his country's investm ent in “hum an resources" — the education and training of its p eople__ has helped during recent difficult times. "The people and the government of Cuba have confi­ dence in our future and it is not an idealistic m ind," he said. “The Cuban people, m y friends, hold great esteem for the people of the United States." Some business people listening to his rem arks had other feelings about his government. 'If you are such a wonderful country and are doing so well, why come back here after 35 years of trying to offend the American governm ent?" said businessm an Carlos Balido, who identified himself as a paratrooper during the Bay of Pigs invasion. Perla Sarabia, office manager for her husband, Fermín Sarabia, a psychiatrist, accused the Cuban governm ent of seizing $6 billion in U.S. business assets during 1959- 60 and not returning it. The couple left Cuba in the early 1960s and now are American citizens. Fraga replied the am ount in question is $1.8 billion and said businesses in other countries have been com­ pensated for seized assets, but that Americans have not because the United States broke off relations w ith Cuba. Fraga accused a small group of U.S. members of Con­ gress of using the Cuba em bargo and alleged hum an rights violations in his country as a political tool to court votes in the Cuban exile community.

The em p o w e r­ ment zones will receive most of the $3.5 billion, in p art to provide tax credits for businesses that are locat­ ed in the zones or em ploy people who live there. As much as $100 million in feder­ al grants will be funneled to each urban em pow erm ent zone and up to $40 m illio n for each ru ra l em pow erm ent zone for social ser­ vice co o rd in a tio n , econom ic an d business investm ent and improved housing.

A nother 65 u rb an areas and 30 rural locations will be selected as enterprise com m unities — a desig­ nation that grants them some of the same benefits as the em powerm ent zones, but on a smaller scale. Those 95 enterprise communities will receive up to $3 million apiece. Besides Austin, the major Texas cities trying to become em pow er­ m ent zones are D allas, H ouston, San Antonio and El Paso. El Paso is the only one seeking consideration as both a rural and urban empower­ ment zone. T w en ty o th e r Texas cities are vying for consideration as enter­ prise communities, including Beau­ mont, Brownsville, Corpus Christi Laredo, Lubbock and Texarkana. "By em pow ering com m unities today, we're making a sound invest­ ment in healthy, viable neighbor­ h ood s for tom orrow ," C isneros said. In ad dition to the $3.5 billion already approved by Congress, the chosen communities also will have access to up to $3 billion in addi­ tional federal funds.

They m ake a lot of m oney tossing aro u n d a basketball. They also told a fed­ eral judge Tuesday th at m illions of dollars does not b uy them happiness. "I also w o u ld like the right, the choice to live in C leveland if I desire ... and basi­ cally give m e the rights that every h um an being h as," said W illiam s, a fo rw ard for the Portland Trail Blazers. "T his is not about m oney," said D anny M anning of the A tlanta H aw ks. "I d id n 't like Los Angeles. ... I w anted to be closer to hom e." The testim ony w as necessary after the league and th e p la y ers' u n io n filed law ­ suits against each o th e r in recent w eeks. The NBA w an ts a salary cap, the college draft and right-of-first-refusal rules to be declared legal, w hile the players' associa­ tio n h a s c h a rg e d v io la tio n s of a n titru s t law. A te m p o r a r y r e s tr a in in g o r d e r w a s issued after the playoffs ended last m onth, barring any signings until the m atter came up in court. The order w as to have expired last Friday, b u t U.S. D istrict Judge Kevin Duffy extended it until he could conduct a one-day trial and rule later this week. A t th e e n d of th e tr ia l o n T u e s d a y , D uffy told law yers to su b m it a d d itio n a l argum ents in w riting by noon W ednesday — but, at the sam e time, to keep trying to reach an out-of-court settlem ent. "M aybe it w ill end u p that neither one of you is very h a p p y g ettin g stuck w ith w hat I decide," he said. A fte r th e tr ia l, N B A c o m m is s io n e r D avid Stern issued a statem ent saying the NBA w o u ld p re fe r to s e ttle th e is s u e s rather than let Duffy decide them . W illiam s said players helped the NBA reco v er from a d ru g -sta in e d re p u ta tio n and financial troubles in the early 1980s by accepting salary caps in a collective b a r­ gaining agreem ent. W illia m s, th e p r e s id e n t o f th e NBA Players Association, testified before Duffy in M a n h a tta n at a sh o rt trial th a t could end w ith Duffy im posing an agreem ent on both sides. Duffy will be left to decide the legality of the NBA's salary cap, draft and restrict­ ed free agency because the NBA a n d its union could not w ork o u t a deal. The deci­ sion m ost likely w ould come after several days. NBA com m issioner D avid Stem said basketball enjoyed a boom in p o p u la rity since the restrictions w ere put in place and both players and team s have profited.
