"There are a lot of great things ln the settlement, but .there arc significant loopholes as far as the -minority community," said Vemellia Randall, a professor at the University of Dayton and former public health nurse. The settlement, which still requires appJ:Oval by Congress and the White House, would end 40 state lawsuits. Tobacco companies have agreed to pay the slates $368 billion over 25 years, curb their advertising and pay penalties if teen-age smoking does not drop. In retuin, they won a ban on future class-action lawsuits, protection against punitive damages and some restrictions on government control of nicotine. Randali said the settlement does not deal with advertising directed at minorities and the poor. "The places that tobacco companies will still be allowed to target are the places that are predominately located in poor and minority communities," sbe said. "There will still be that negative impact." Randall, an ~viser to the Ohio Commission on Minority Health, he.lpcd re~iew President Clinton's health care reform package. She said ignoring minorities in the tobacco settleinent was no oversight. . ' . . . '.

So when Helene's 'special day' drew near, she knew she had to keep the wedding profiteers out of it. " I just said, 'I' m having a party.' When Sara Eckel I bought a dress, I said, 'I'm buying a .dress .'" · True, Helene and Wendell had to make do without the little bride and groom icons perched on top of the buttercream frosting. And Helene's d~ss was slim and elegant (and $125!) rather than pouffy and Victorian . But the cake waspelicious, and Helene looked amazing, and they saved a bundle. .

With the money that they didn't waste on bric-a-brac, they were able to offer their guests a delicious meal and an open bar. No one missed the customized cocktail napkins, or the elaborate · centerpieces, or the engraved champagne glasses. I thought of Helene's .wedding recently while talking to my friend Anthony, who is engaged. He was describing the day he and his fiancee, Jen, were walking through the bridal registry at a Long Island department store. A saleswoman immediately lead them to the $1 SO-a-place-setting Lenox china, as if their desiring this was a matter of course. As they walked past the crystal candlestick holders and silver salad bowls, Anthony realized he really didn't want any of that stuff, and that there was no need for him to ask his friends and family to blow $1,200 on tableware he and his future wife would use twice a year, tops. "You know what?" Anthony turned to Jen and said. "Yie don' t have to do this." He's righ~ he doesn't. But·at such an emotional·stage oflife, it's easy to get manipulated into thinking that a "traditional" wedding, a "proper" wedding, must necessarily break the bank. lt isn't so. Sure, many wed- ·'· dings of yesteryear may have been lavish, but our parents and grandparents did not have to contend with the rabid commercialism that modem COUJlles face. Indeed, i~ just this past decade the cost of a wedding has quadrupled. Of course, as Helene points out, the current system does have its · perks. If you really need to feel like the queen bee, .the wedding merchants will skillfully feed this fantasy. "You get to have that moment in the spotlight when everyone says 'Oh, you' re getti~g married. you're . so special,"' says Helene. "But I decided I could live without that."

I mean, I have no hobbies to equal that. I have no· hobbies at all, to be honest. I don't think sneering at popular culture, cable television, and the· Internet counts. (Uh, does it?) Still, while I recognize that her Spawning contributes enormously to the giiUIJOUr and mystery of our relationship, it is not an activity I necessarily approve of. (lsn 'I that just like a guy, though?) I worry about her. She often finds herself engaged in a tug of war in the aisles of Toys R Us wjth determined .housewives shopping for their sociopathic sons, with pale and out of shape aging young men in faded Kiss T-shirts, and even with obsessed 13-year-old boys themselves. all of whom want to be the first on the block to get all the figures in Series Eight. All this activi,ty is based on a relatively obscure comic book, of interest mainly to its rabid fans. And my girlfriend has never even read it! She just likes the dolls on their own merits!

"I got on a plane with a group of rabbis going to Newark," he said Monday of his Right from Milwau· kee. "A guy recognized me on the plane and said, 'You're going to Cleveland for the All-Star game.' I said, 'Yeah, thanks a lot.' He said, 'Well, this plane's going to Newark.' "I said, 'Wow, I didn't know this was going all the way there and back again,' so I asked the Hight attendant. She said I was on the wrong plane. Actually, it was their fault. They for· got to check my ticket when I board· ed." . Cirillo hun'ied off the plane to catch the correct flight. "Fortunately, it was just the next gate over," he said, "but they had to kick rwo passengers off who already had boarded the flight standby." How did Cirillo get on the first plane without a ticket? · "I asked the flight attendant. She said, 'I just assumed you knew where you were going." ' Where are the sluuen?: When it came to Monday's Home Run Der· by, Barry Bonds would not play because of a bad back, Albert Belle said no and so did Mike Piazza, the MVP of last summer's All-Star game. Their absences didn't bother Gillette, the event's 'sponsor. After all, Mark McGwire and Ken Griffey Jr., the top two home-run hillers in the major leagues, did participate. "It's the event. .If you look at the ' rating, regardless of the. players, people like this format," said Eric Kraus, a spokesman for The Gillette Co. day. "I really don't want to talk about it anymore. It's already over, it's gelling too old. I want to put it behind me, John wants to put it tlehind him." · Tribe's ThGme: Cleveland's Jim Thome already had started his All· Star break when he learned he would be playing in his first All-Star game. Thome was selected as the replacement for teammate David Justice on Sunday night. The Indi· ans' first b!lseman was in a motel near Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, when he received a · phone call from the Indians· telling him to return to Cleveland. Thome had gone there with his girlfriend, teammate Matt Williams, and Williams' kids. "! .couldn't believe it," Thome said. "I knew there was a chance all weekend that I could make it. but after yesterday's game I didn't think it would happen." Thome said he called his father in · Dlinois to deliver the good news. uHe was ecstatic," said Thome, who also participated in Monday's Home Run Derby but failed to hit a homer.

(AP)- Des· perate for a center, the Boston Celtics ' decided Travis Knight was worth $22 million, nine players and a full· court press to lure him from the Los Angeles Lakers. All for a skinny seven-footer who was lightly regarded as a pro prospect and averaged less than five points and five rebollnds as a rook· ie. "lbe sky's the limit about how much better he can get," coach Rick Pitino said of the hitest change in his makeover of a team coming off the worst season in its history. On Monday, Knight signed for a reported seven years and $22 million with an escape clause after three sea· sons. He repOrtedly will make $1 .7 million next season. To fit him under the salary cap. the Celtics renounced their rights to all nine of their free agents, includ· ing captain Rick Fox and Many Conlon. They already had allowed point g11ard David Wesley to sign with Charlotte. , Pitino said he ,wanted to keep Fox. and Conlon but couldn't wait until he could lower his payroll through a trade and risk losing .Knight.

Children who have had successful experiences spending the night By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV Associated j)ress Writer · MOSCOW - The three men on the beleaguered Mir space station cracked open the hatch of a visiting cargo ship today and began unloading more than .2 tons of . supplies, including key parts needed io restore the station's power system. Russian cosmonauts Vasily Tsibliyev and Alexander Lazutkin and U.S. astronaut Michael Foale will spend two days moving all the supplies from the cargo ship into the station, said Rufina Amosova, a spokeswoman at Russia's Mission Control. T~e current shipment, which arrived Monday, has taken on added significance because it contains some 880 pounds of repair equipment that will be used to reattach power cables in the Mir 's damaged Spektr module. The Spektr was ·punctured in a June 25 collision with a previous cargo ship,' and the module's solar batteries have been idle ever since, leaving the Mir to oP.,rate on. reduced power. · The repairs, tentatively planned for July 17 or 18, involve a tricky space walk by one of the cosmonauts into the dark and air1ess Spektr. If all goes as planned, the Mir should be back at close to normal levels of power. . The Progress cargo ship docked cleanly with the Mir on Monday morning, and normally the crew ope11s the hatch within an hour or so. But ground controllers !old the team to replenish the Mir's power supplies Monday and get some ·sleep before digging in today. The repair supplies include POWer cables and a custom-made hatch for the Spektr. The cargo ship also brought food, water, oxygen, fuel, scientific equipment and personal gear for Foale, who can't get to his belongings in the Spektr module. Russian space officials said they would give the crew at least 10 days to beCome comfortable with the repair equipment. "We're in no hurry ~ith .the repairs," Sergei Krikalyov, a deputy mission chief, said on Monday. "We want to be well-prepared for that." Krikalyov said that Russian teams on the ground would continue to simulate the repair effort on a mock-up of the Spektr module i.n a tank of water at the Cosmonauts Training Center near Moscow. The 11-year-old Mir, designed to last five years, has suffered a string of breakdowns in recent months, raising q11estions about safety aboard the' aging spacecraft. .I Fire leaves 1 dead MIDDLETOWN (AP) -A man died from injuries he suffered in a ftre that investigators said was caused by smoking.
