"We did not believe it then, and we
certainly do not believe it now,”
members of the Illinois congres-
sional delegation said this week in a
letter to John Gibbons, director of
the U.S. Office of Technology Assess-
ment.
They asked Gibbons to review the
it’s getting worse not better.''
"If that's the way the new ad-
ministration begins, then I think
that's hopeful,” the governor said.
Dukakis, who held one press con-
ference immediately after his loss to
assess the campaign, refused to
review the campaign in detail, say-
ing he preferred to focus on the
future.

prosecution's case, I had no other
choice but to say not guilty,” said the
forewoman.
Jay Goldberg, Capasso’s lawyer,
said, "Had it not been Bess Myerson,
(U.S. Attorney Rudolph) Giuliani
would have never brought this case.”
But Giuliani, whose office has
rarely lost a major case, disagreed.
“I think we would try this case
again, sure,” said Giuliani. “Ob-
viously, we’re disappointed with the
result."
Miss Myerson, the city’s former
cultural affairs commissioner, was
accused of trying to bribe Mrs. Gabel
by giving a city job to Sukhreet, the
judge’s emotionally troubled
daughter. In return, prosecutors
said, the judge reduced Capasso’s
alimony payments with his ex-wife,
Nancy.
Capasso, a millionaire contractor,
is serving a three-year sentence in
the Lewisburg, Pa., prison for
pleading guilty to federal tax evasion
charges in January.
Much of the trial's focus was on
Ms. Gabel, who spent nine days on
the stand testifying against her
mother and reveled in the subse-
quent attention and publicity.
“Everybody’s a winner. The truth
came out," said Ms. Gabel.
Ms. Gabel testified how Miss
Myerson began cultivating her
friendship in the summer of 1983;
how her mother looked "very sad"
when she asked about her involve-
ment in the Capasso divorce case;
and how Miss Myerson confronted
her in June 1986 dunng the grand
jury investigation, telling her "you
could be dangerous ... keep your
mouth shut."
While prosecutors alleged Miss
Myerson tried to "buy justice in the
courts of New York,” her lawyers
ridiculed the case as "a soap opera,
not a criminal trial."

charge in the six-count indictment.
Several people cheered, while key
government witness Sukhreet Gabel
— daughter of Miss Myerson's co-
defendant — sat dazed several rows
behind her.
After the jury’s final announce-
ment, Miss Myerson wiped away
tears and crossed the courtroom to
hug Ms. Gabel's frail mother. She
then broke down and cried into her
hands as Capasso massaged her
back and neck.
Miss Myerson, 64, who was Miss
America in 1945, had stared intently
at the jury as they entered the cour-
troom shortly after 8 p.m. and
delivered their verdict, rejecting the
prosecution’s contention that the
three were guilty of conspiracy, mail
fraud and bribe-related charges.

site-selection process before Texas is
confirmed in January, contending
the Energy Department did not pay
enough attention to an environmen-
tal report that discussed the troubl-
ing fiig^a.
The insects not only have a painful,
venomous sting but are known to
disable home and farm equipment
and cause power failures by chewing
through underground cables.
“It appears the DOE did not con-
sider this report while evaluating the
Texas site,” the Illinois lawmakers
said. "If such an important issue was
not considered — and apparently it
was not — we are concerned that
other important issues relating to the
SSC may have been overlooked.”
They said the project “is too large,
too costly and too important to have
the siting of it based on inadequate
research, rather than merit.”

nessee and Texas as finalists for the
collider. Herrington then picked
Texas as the tentative site, subject to
confirmation.
Illinois officials said they spent
about |8 million working on their bid
for the project, which would provide
thousands of construction jobs, per-
manent work for about 3,000 people
and a 8270 million annual budget.
By using the Tevatron as part of
the collider, they said the govern-
ment could save more than 8500
million in construction costs.
They should be returned to normal
balance so they can function pro-
perly again.
Medication is not the answer to
tension headaches. Aspirin and
other pain-killers may give you
temporary relief-but they won’t
solve the problem. Once the source
of the problem is found and
treated, THEN you can get the
relief you need.

The collider would be a 53-mile,
underground ring of magnets
capable of whipping proton beams
together with 20 times the force of
the largest existing nuclear particle
accelerator, Fermilab’s Tevatron.
Scientists hope to learn more about
the nature of matter from studying
the subatomic particles created by
the proton collisions.

beginning,” Energy Department |

responded by putting in several I
paragraphs (in the report) explain- I

In a section of the 23-volume I
report, he said the department I
acknowledged special attention will
have to be paid to the design of elec-
trical facilities and underground
components at the collider site, to
construction practices that will pro-
tect workers from the ants and to
development of an environmentally
sound pesticide policy.
The letter to Gibtxms was signed
by Sens. Alan Dixon and Paul Simon,
House Republican Leader Robert
Michel and Reps. Terry Bruce,
Richard Durbin, Harris Fawell, Den-
nis Hastert, Lynn Martin and Dan
Rostenkowski.
The same lawmakers previously
had written President Reagan, sug-
gesting the choice of Texas was a
political decision made without
regard for cost or merit.
Illinois Gov. James R. Thompson
offered a similar argument in a let-
ter Wednesday asking Reagan to
overrule Herrington and order the
project housed next to the Fermi Na-
tional Accelerator Laboratory at
Batavia, Ill.
TENSION HEADACHE
If you’re bothered by headache
that seems to have its origin at the
base of your skull, you may be suf-
fering from tension headache.
Tension headaches can be caus-
ed by an irritation of the nerves in
the area of the spine immediately
under the skull. These are called
the suboccipital nerves. They pass
through small openings in the
spinal column to muscles in the
surrounding area. Any abnormal
pressure or dysfunction of the neck
and muscles can irritate the
nerves, causing tension.
The tension doesn’t cause the
headache. To treat this form of
headache, attention should be paid
to the bone and muscle structures.

Lawmakers say fire ants hurt SSC efforts
WASHINGTON (AP) - A study
revealing that fire ants infest the site

evidence the Energy Department
made a hasty decision, Illinois
lawmakers contend.
Energy Secretary John Herrington
awarded the 84 4 billion project to
Texas last month, saying its site for

not guilty after NYC trial
NEW YORK I AP) - Cheers broke
out and former Miss America Bess
Myerson sobbed and kissed her co-
defendant lover after their soap-
opera-like divorce-fixing trial ended
in acquittals.
“It's over,” Miss Myerson said
after her two-year ordeal ended with
Thursday night's verdict. “I’m
grateful for the American judicial
system and I thank the jury for ex-
onerating me."
The U.S. District Court jury also
cleared Miss Myerson's lover, Carl
"Andy” Capasso, 43, and retired
state Supreme Court Justice
Hortense Gabel, 76, who handled
Capasso’s divorce.

Capasso, kissed and hugged him

Democratic candidate told The
Associated Press on Thursday

Dukakis declined an opportunity to refused previously to say whether he
criticize Bush, whom he had lain- would run for president again,
basted during a bitter campaign,
saying he would give the president-
elect “a good six months to a year"
before speaking out.
However, the governor, who at-
tacked President Reagan's policy in
Central America dunng the cam-

that Bush has decided not to ask Con-
gress immediately for renewed U.S.
support for the rightist Contra rebels
in Nicaragua and that Bush hopes to
