NFL's Pats Poised
To
Hire Coach
B y D O N N I E W E B B
The Post Standard
The
N ew
England
Patriots have called a
major
news conference for 10 a.m. today n
Fqxboro,
Mass., where
they are
expected
to
nam e
Syracuse University's
Dick
MacPher-
son as
head coach
of the
troubled National
Football League franchise.
,
A 'spokesman for the
Patriots would
no t
confirm
that MacPherson had been selected
as the team's fifth coach in 10 years, but
word
of the impending selection raced across
N ew E ngland after Boston Globe columnist
a n d
N B C - T V a n a l y s t W i l l
M c D o n o u g h
announced
the choice Sunday during the NFL
playoffs pregame
show.
In
ty pical MacPherson style, one story
making the
media rounds Sunday night
wa s
that the Rev. Norman MacPherson actually
broke
t he
story
by
announcing
Sunday
morn-
ing
to his congregation at St. Joseph's Church
in Ol d
Town, Maine, that
the
next coach
of
the Patriots would be his brother.
MacPherson became
much
more
than a
coach to many Syracusans. He was a spokes-
man for the city and the game of college
football.
He participated
frequently
in
local
charities, plugging causes at his M on day
news conferences
an d
becoming
one of the
city's
most popular
citizens.
MacPherson's
salary
is
expected
to
take
a
significant
hike with
the Patriots, wh o
paid
fired
coach Rod Rust more than
$300,000
pe r
year
an d
former coach
Raymond
Berry
about $550,000 per year.
Syracuse Univer-
sity paid MacPherson
$116,543 for 1988-89,
according
to
U.S. Internal Revenue
Service
documents, but his estimated salary was
'believed to be ar oun d $250,000 with the
addition of camp, television a nd endorsement
revenues.
MacPherson is expected to get a three- to
five-year deal f rom the Patriots, who
undoubtedly
will add incentive clauses to the
contract. But the total might be tempered
because the

Appeals Court to Hear
DES
Exposure
Lawsuit
By MATTHEW CO X
lb ny
ureau
N ew York 's highest court
will
hear
a r g u m e n t s W e d n e s d a y i n a l a w s u i t
brought by a Chenango County girl wh o
says-she was harmed by a drug to
which
she was
never exposed.
The drug , DES, has been blamed for the
medical problems o f thousands of women
whose mothers took it to prevent m iscar-
riage. What ma kes this case
unusua l
is that
the girl 's mo ther never took
the
drug
—
:
her
g randmother did. .

Nine-year-old Karen Enright claims sh e
has cerebral palsy because of her mother's
prenatal exposure to D E S . A
state
Supreme Court judge threw out
Karen's
$150
million
lawsuit against
s ix 'pharma-
ceutical companies, but an appeals court
reinstated part of it.
The drug companies are appealing that
ruling to the state Court of Appeals.
The lawsuit is called a third-generation
DES case to d i s t i n gu i sh it f rom those
involving
only a mother an d daughter. A
spokeswoman
for Eli Lilly an d
Co.,
one of
the defendants, said Karen's is the first
such
suit in the nation to reach a state
court
of final
appeal.
The
case raises
the intriguing
question
of
whether
an injured person may sue
over
a damaging
ac t
tha t occurred before
he or
she. was
conceived.
In a
similar
case

years ago,
the state
C our t

threw out a
medical malpractice suit

by a

boy who
claimed his injuries'were the result of a
botched abortion his mother received
four
years
before
his
birth.
Karen's at torneys say dismissing
her
suit would be like forgiving
toxic
waste
dumpers because
the
injuries they caused
ma y
take years
to
become
apparent.
Those who are
candid
and scientifically
honest have
agreed
that
DES was a
tragic
mistake

spoke

. The results of this battle will be great and all the

through 19, in Syracuse, Ne w

ter.

on 1988

Department of Health that showed
that

babies
were
born that
year
to Syracusans of, those ages.

.
If
all 504 young mothers were
Syracuse
school
students in the
fall
of
1988, they would have made u p
8.2 percent of the
district's
female
population
among
10- to 19-year-
olds.
The conference,
which
is
chaired
by
Syracuse
school .board
member
Joseph
Fancy,
has scheduled inter-
views with
media
in
Albany, Yon-
kers,
Rochester an d Buffalo
today
and Tuesday to
publicize
the report.
Subsequent media interviews will
also be
scheduled
in New Yor k
City..
The
report
includes 16 recom-
mendations for
state
and local
governments to
provide
better
ser-
vices
to
h elp adolescent mothers
stay in school and obtain pre- and
post-natal care.
While
the
Syracuse
school
district has offered
such ser-
vices for
many
years, officials
want
to better
coordinate their efforts
with the
state
and county govern-
ments. Armed
with
the
study's sta-
tistics, city
school
officials
are
plan-
ning to meet
with
Onondaga
County
leaders to
devise
strategies.
Freedman
said statistics were

how
many of the girls cited in the study
were students
whe n
they were

or
when they gave birth.
