Riffe died at the Ohio State University Medical Center, aide Cliff Treyens said. The Scioto County Democrat who.emerged from one of Ohio's poorest counties to become a political kingmaker was diagnosed with lymphoma in May. He was 72. Gov. George Voinovich called Riffe "the greatest legislator in Ohio history." "Of the thousands of individuals who have served our state in the Ohio General Assembly, Vern Riffe. in my respectful opinion, stands the tallest,·· the Republican governor said. " In Ohio's political history, only one indtvidual earned the title . ·Mr. Speaker.'" Voinovich ordered all tlags in the state to be flown at half.staff for 10 days. Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Leland said Riffe was a major force in his l.ife. · "He taught me the importance of working hard and keeping your word and doing things on behalf of peopie," he said. · Former four-term Republican Gov.

'lawmake.rs were set to work on an even tougher issue: figuring out how. to pay for better schools. The Ohio House finished work after midnight today on legislation to increase academic standards and require school districts to adhere to strict~r financial accountability pro. cedures. The academic standards passed on a 53-43 vote; the financial bill was approved 51-45. Neither bill was supported by Democrats. The academic standard; piece now goes bacl< to the Senate, where lawmakers will have to work out differences between it and a version approved there Tuesday. The financial and management piece goes to Gov. George Voinovich fm hiR signature. Both bills were designed to sell to voters a penny-per-dollar .<ale; tax increase to pay for a plan that resulted from an Ohio Supreme Court ruling in March that the state's funding phm was unconstitutional. The funding portion will be a tough sell, with conservative House Republicans balking at a $1 .1 billion tax increase and Democrats angling for more money for schools.

And governors aren't all that pleased with some of the details. "When Washington talks about flexibiluy, it defines the tenn differently than we do, " said Nebraska Gov. Benjamm Nelson, a Democrat. Whtle governors m general applauded the new pact, particularly the taxcut portions, some fumed about not being consulted enough during negollauons. As a result, many governors here for the annual summer meeting of the NatiOnal Governors ' AssoctallOn spent much or Tuesday on the phone with congressional leaders and White House offictals, seeking changes and clarifications. ' The governors were wrappmg up their session today. One key sttcking pomt was a provisiOn champiOned by Prestdent Clinton that would require the mintmum wage and other labor laws to apply to those with subsidiled jobs, under a welfare-to-work program Many governors suggest that will frighten off private companies in the program, which was part of last year's welfare overhaul law. States, they fear, could get stuck holdmg the bag. · Aorida Gov. Lawton Chiles, a Democrat who was once chairman of the Senate Budget Commtllee, objected to the agreement's wordmg both in person to Clinton when the pre<idcnt was here Monday and in a series of phone conversations Tuesday. "It bothers all governors. It's btpartisan. It's not just Republican governors, " satd GOP Gov Chrtstie Whllman of New Jersey. CongresSional leaders have. stres sed that final wording of the agreement remams under negotiation, desp11e agreement on broad outlines. Even the popular provtston to spend $24 billion over five years to pay for health care for poor children- financed by a 15-cent-a-pack mcrease in the cigarette tax - drew crillcism over some of 1ts details, even as it was generally applauded by Democratk and Republican governors alike. . States without such programs, or wtth modest ones, would gam the most. "Out of the chute the .. (chtldren's health-care plan) may mean a whole lot more money for kids - which is great," said Republican Gov Gary Johnson of New Mexico. "But five years from now, it could mean that the state ends up pickmg up the tab for a federal program that mtght not work." "It's agam a case of Washmgton amving a bit late," satd Michigan Gov. John Engler, a Republican. He said many states, like his own, already have developed plans to cover children not covered by health msurance. Still / he said Michigan would be glad to take the extra money Governors have had mput. Engler satd, but "II remams to be seen whether 11 was heeded ... We re stiTI waiung for the 'new era."' Black and white high-school graduation rates are now just about at parity, roughly 90 percent by age 25. There 'were about 200,000 blacks with college degrees in 1950 and 500,000 in 1970. Today the.number is 2.7 million. As a general rule, people in the middle class, with higher education, have lower fertility rates than less-educated people In some respects, lower fertility rates not only reflect mtddle-class households but also help create middle-class households. After all, a constant income with fewer mouths to feed yields higher per captta income. Welfare reform has also played a role. In the early 1990s states began gettin~ federal welfare waovers that demanded work from able-bodied persons on welfare.

"They just dop't lo<e, do they '' " he said. The Marlins have a chance to do something about that beginning tonight, when the two teams start a four-game.<eries in Miami. Florida, considered by many to be Atlanta's most fonnidable challenger in the National League, trails the Braves by 7 112 games in the NL East The Marlins kept pace Wednesday, when unbeaten rookie Livan Hernandez (5-0) allowed three hits in eight innings to help defeat the Cincinnati Reds 6-0: The o~ly r~maining charter members of the Marlins, Jeff Conine and Alex Arias, acknowledged that the series against the Braves is the biggest in franchise history. "We don't have anything to compare it to," said Conine, who has played in plenty of meaningless August games since 1993. "This can make or break our season, " Arias said. ··· we need to win three of four." For Atlanta, !he series means a chance to increase a comfonablc lead. "It would be nice to win three or four and really' put Florida in a hole," outlielder Ryan Klesko said. " I'd lis to see us be 10 or 12 up in September, so we could rest and get everybody heallhy for the playoffs ." The Marlins have had their sights on Atlanta since the offseason, when owner Wayne Huizenga committed $175 million to upgrade hi s team . But Florida is still playing catchup. Atlanta enJoys an advantage in almost all hitting and pitching categories. including batting average. runs, home runs and ERA. The Marlins find themselves battling the New York Mets for .second place in the East, rather than Atlanta for first . "Now Florida has to worry about the Mets," Atlanta third ' baseman Chipper Jones said. "There's double pressure on the Marlins." , Hernandel handled the pressure well Wednesday, when he became t~e tirst MarHns pitcher to stan a season 5-0. "I doesn 't look like he's afraid, that 's what I like," manager Jim Leyland s~id . '.' He looks like he believes he belongs·here." The 22-year-old Hernandez, whose status was uncenain until the Marlins this week decided against trading for a veteran starter, had a season-high eight strikeouts again•l the Reds. He kept them guessing by throwing curves when behind in the count. "Every outing I get more confidence," the right-hander said through a translator. "I'm mixing my pitches more, and it's much more eflcctivc. I look forward to helping the team get to the playoffs." Streaky Moi.es Alou had a threerun homer and a run•-scoring double, giving him three homers and seven RB!s in two nights. Dennis Cook closed out the victory. allowing one hit in the ninth. Pete Schourek (5-7), who has been the subject of trade speculation, allowed .six hits and tour runs in four innings. The lefl-hander, winless in three starts since coming ofT the disabled list, struggled again with his · velocity. . "Something's wrong," he said. "I JUSt cnn'qnake the pitches. They ' re coming up saying ' hit me."' New Reds manager Jack McKeon fell to 2-4, with his team going 1-2 against both Florida and Atlanta. " We ' ve had six to,ugh days pretty gond pitchers in Atlanta. and then we see these three," McKeon soid . .. I'm waiting lo see a pitcher who docs what our guys do - walk a couple of guys and give up a bomb." Florida is 3-1 against Atlanta this year. This week 's series will he fol lowed by another four-game set between them in Atlanta beginning Aug. 8.

Call it NFL Economics 101. Or just blame it on the salary cap. Steve Young became the league's highest·paid player by taking a pay cut. "He will be with us the remain· der of his playing career. I think this contract guarante,es that, " 49ers president Carmen Policy said of his star quartyrback . Young's new deal will pay him $45 million for six years. besting the contract signed a week ago by Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre, who reportedly received $47.25 million for seven years. Young's contract - actually an extensiOI\ of the deal that was to pay him $4.5 million this season cleared $1.5 million in room under this season's salary cap bet.:ause .. Young 's base salary for 1997 is now $3 million. Before the deal with _Young, the 49ers were just $107,000 below the $41.5 million cap limit. That led to the 49ers' top draft pick, Virginia Tech quarterback Jim Druckenmiller, to agree to terms on a six-year contract, according to general manager Dwight Clark. Financial details weren't released. Jacksonville quarterback Mark Brunell also has a new deal : $31.5 million for six years. Young:S new contract is pan of the creative financing developed to get around the salary cap. The quar· terback , who turns 36 in October, is unlikely to see all the money in the deal, none of it guaranteed. Both Policy and Young's agent, Leigh Steinberg, said !here's a strong possibility Young 's ·new pact will be restructured as early as next year, when Young is due to receive a $10 million !lase salary.

So the Steelers used their first· round draft pick on Scott, an aggressive hitter from ·Maryland, and signed Woolford from the Bears and Brown from the Dolphins. Woolford played well against his former team Sunday. helping limit new Bears quarterback Rick Mirer to only 17 yards passing in Mirer 's one quarter of play.

Advenlser Many people talk of Emmylou Harris 's immense influence. Emmylou Harris is not one of them. She talks of Gram Parsons, the artist who influenced her. "I didn't really have a musical style or vision until I played with Gram ," she says of ·the musician with whom she toured before his death in 1973. " He really not only gave me visibility, but a focus to my music. "Without him, I don't know where I'd be." Where Harris is now is an interesting question. She was one of country music.'s greatest singers. Harris eschewed the sugary pop that was passing for country in the mid-'70s and combined folk and pop to create country songs of incredible depth and beauty songs that soon put her at the head of country's new traditionalist movement. The combination eventually led to a more-than-two decade career, which included such No. I country hits as "Together Again," "Sweet . Dreams,'.' "Two More ~ottles of Wine," "Beneath Still Waters," "(Lost His Love) On Our Last Date" and "To Know Him Is To Love Him." She also won the Country Musie Association's Female Vocalist of the Year, two Grammys for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Female and one Grammy for best duo or group for her "Trio" album with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt. But last y~ar when she recorded her most recent album, "Wrecking Ball," she didn 't bother releasing it to country music stations. "Wrecking Ball'' used · a New Orleans backing band to create a sound that echoed with the musical flavors of The Big Easy. But even if it had been a more traditional album, it probably wouldn't have made a difference. · Country stations had already quit playing the records of the anist who is generally considered one of the greatest traditional country performers of our time. " I think that basically country radio. is a very youth-driven market now," she says.

That soundss like a lot, but the match was close untillhe last few deals. For me, the best pair in the event was Marianne Karmarlcar and Yvelle Singapuri from India. Here is a beautiful defense !hat they put up against South Africa in the semifinals. Playing in four hearts in the other room, the Indian declarer, Kiran Nadar, had been assisted by an illjudged club lead from West. After declarer had jellisoned her two diamond losers, there were no further problems. AI this table, North, taking the one-spade opening bid more seriously than it deserved, blasted into Qlackwood over three hearts, then put on the brakes in five hearts. Karmarkar, Wesl, wisely led a diamond. After winning with the ace, Singapuri returned a diamond to her partner's king. Wesl cashed the spade ace, to defeat the contract, then led another diamond, which East rufftl(l with the heart jack. South overruffed with !he ace and cashed the heart queen: four, six, three. Then she led the heart two: five . Now declarer had a definhe problem. Should she finesse dummy's nine or go up with the king? You can see all the cards, but the declarer, who could not, finessed dummy's nine, losing to East's 10: two down.
