INSIDE At the track: Experts say settlement will curtail, but not eliminate, tobacco company sponsorship of motorsports across the United States. Page D1 Modisett and O'Bannon are expected to make their decisions by Friday, the deadline for officials in each state to indicate whether they will agree to the settlement. At least 11 states already intend to sign the agreement, hammered out with the nation's four biggest tobacco companies. Cigarette makers say they will cancel it if enough states don't sign on. Washington state Attorney General Christine Gre-goire said attorneys would submit the names of states that want to participate to the industry over the weekend, when the deal could be finalized.

Attorneys general from eight states, who announced the proposal at a news conference Monday in Washington, hailed it as a first step to curb tobacco's influence on the nation's youth. But they urged Congress to move ahead with other restrictions, such as giving the Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate tobacco.

Look back: By Mary Beth Schneider STAFF POLITICS WRITER Hours before Indianapolis Mayor Stephen Goldsmith made it official thai he would not seek a third term, support already was coalescing around a potential GOP successor Secretary of State Sue Anne Gilroy. Gilroy, just elected 13 days ago to a second term in that office, said Monday she is seriously considering a run for mayor and will reach a decision within days. Monday, she and other Republicans still were getting used to the idea that Goldsmith would not seek re-election, as had been widely expected.

Those expectations were spurred by a fund-raising letter Goldsmith supporters sent out In September with his blessing that said he was "prepared to aggressively campaign for re-election." But Goldsmith had hesitated to commit himself, saying he would not make a final decision until after the November elections. Sunday, he said, he told himself he would make a decision by the end of the Indianapolis Colts game. By the time the Colts scored that winning touchdown with 24 seconds left, Goldsmith had made up his mind. He wasn't running. He called Republican leaders to inform them, and some including Marion County Sheriff Jack Cottey, Marion County GOP Chairman John Sweezy and Indiana GOP Chairman Mike McDaniel tried to persuade Goldsmith to change his mind.

I I -1 The court, acting without comment, rejected a spirited challenge in which lawyers for Cincinnati argued that unlimited spending during the past two decades has "seriously undermined public confidence in our electoral process and in our democratic institutions." John Bonifaz, the executive director of the Boston-based National Voting Rights Institute who filed the appeal for the city, predicted that the court someday will "recognize that unlimited campaign spending poses a serious threat."

The deals were announced Monday by British publisher Michael O'Mara, who put the book project together, and ABC News. O'Mara said Lewinsky was drawn to the book idea because Andrew Morton, whose one about judicial elections in Ohio, might give the nation's highest court a new opportunity to study the issue.
