Renowned artist Vernon Pratt, 59, suffered se­ vere head-and chest injuries Dec. 21 as he was rid­ ing his bicycle along a narrow stretch of road near Lynchburg, Va. Pratt, who was on sabbatical last semester, had gone to the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts to paint. He was airlifted to the Medical Center on Dec. 28. Although Pratt has been weaned off of a ventilator, he has yet to regain consciousness and remains listed in serious condition. "We're left with a body and a soul. But his mind is gone," said his wife, Deborah Pratt. "The longer he stays unconscious, the less ofa chance he has of ever coming back."

Straw then asked Pinochet to consent to an inde­ pendent examination, and his office selected the four doctors, specialists respectively in gerontology, geri­ atric medicine, neurology and neuropsychology. The seven-hour examination was conducted in Spanish— Pinochet does not speak English—and two of the physicians, Straw said, were fluent in Spanish. Straw said it was the "unequivocal and unanimous conclusion... that following recent deterioration in the state of Senator Pinochet's health, which seems to have occurred principally during September and Octo­ ber 1999, he is at present unfit to stand trial, and that no change to that position can be expected." The general was originally arrested on Oct. 16, 1998, as he lay in a London clinic recuperating from back surgery. British police made their surprise move in response to an application from a Spanish judge, Baltasar Garzon, seeking his extradition to Madrid to stand trial on charges of genocide, torture, kidnapping and murder in connection with the disappearance of more than 3,000 people in the years after he seized power in a coup in 1973. Garzon, considered something of a maverick in the Spanish judiciary, had gathered his evidence during an investigation into the so-called dirty wars in Latin America in the 1970s. The Spanish government, though forced by circum­ stance to pursue the case, has shown little enthusiasm for it from the outset, and tonight Spain's foreign min­ istry said it would "respect the decisions ofthe British government." Pinochet won his first legal battle to overcome the charges in a ruling by the High Court that upheld his claim to sovereign immunity. But in a ruling that was

The St. Louis native shot 12-of-13 from the free- throw line over the two games and contributed six blocks, two steals and seven assists. Cass named ACC wrestler of the week: Sophomore Thomas Cass was named the first ACC wrestler ofthe week ofthe season after going 3-0 last week against his opponents at the Old Dominion Quadrangle meet Sunday. Cass, who wrestles in the 184-lb. class, defeated Brad Krepps of Old Dominion 9-3, then topped Dale Griffin of VMI 6-5. Cass also won a 3-2 match over Seton Hall's Fikret Darzanoff, who is currently ranked 17th nationally in the Intermat rankings. Along with Cass, senior Alex Hunt also went undefeated, record­ ing a 3-0 record in the heavyweight division. But beyond their top two, the Blue Devils did not fare well as a team, dropping three matches at the meet. Duke was soundly beaten by the Pirates, 28-6, and suffered a two-point defeat to VMI and a six-point loss to ODU. Last night, the Blue Devils lost another close match, this time falling to Appalachian State 16-15 in Boone, N.C. The match came down to the final bout, but Cass' 8-2 win over Lucas Smith was not enough to qualify for a major decision, giving the Mountaineers the win. Appalachian State built a 16-9 lead through the first eight matches when Matt Hoover won at the 174-lb. level to put the fate ofthe match in the hands of Cass.

Duke's superior perimeter game will prevail as the Blue Devils extend their winning streak to 12 games with an 83-67 win. —Compiled by Neal Morgan
