Gupta out of running for surgeon general THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON CNN medical correspondent Dr. San-jay Gupta won't be the next surgeon general, the Obama administration confirmed Thursday. Gupta, 39, a neurosurgeon with star appeal, was seen as President Barack Obama's first pick for the job. He would have brought instant recognition to the office of surgeon general, a post that has lacked visibility since the days of C.

Everett Koop during Ronald Reagan's presidency. An administration official said that Gupta had been under "serious consideration" but took himself out of the running because he wants to focus on his medical career and spend more time with his family. The surgeon general is the nation's doctor, and while the job doesn't involve much policymaking responsibility, it's a bully pulpit for promoting public health. Gupta could have helped Obama pitch his health care reform plan. But Gupta would have had to give up a lucrative career.

He hosts House Call on CNN, contributes reports to CBS News and writes a column for Time magazine. He also practices surgery at Atlanta's Grady Memorial Hospital, i 2 3 6 7 IS 5 11 0 11 12 1 1 3 14 15 76 17 73 19 0 21 22 23 24 Tm- 2b 2(3 '--J27 2ti 23 JO Jl 33 14 1 iTi 1 iiiiM'y m'M 3b 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 i 43 mm, 44 4b 46 4 4tt 'j0 51 "V- ,1... mm will be charged. State law prohibits prosecuting anyone who is too mentally deficient to understand the proceedings or offer a defense. Daly said that would appear to apply to Gagne.

"It's a tragedy for the man who was killed, it's a tragedy for the man's family, but it's equally a tragedy for the family of Verne Gagne," said Daly, who has warm memories of Gagne from his youth. In the ring, Gagne drew on his background as a college wrestling champion in the 1940s, and typically finished off opponents with his trademark "sleeper hold" a headlock that appeared to make the beaten man pass out. Gutmann's widow, Betty Gutmann, said she was told by residents and staff members at the nursing home that Gagne picked her husband up and threw him to the ground. She said that they had had one scuffle before, when her husband had been shouting at other residents and Gagne put a chokehold on him. Gutmann wasn't hurt in that incident.

But Betty Gutmann is not blaming Gagne, saying he didn't know what he was doing. She said most Alzheimer's victims are old and frail, and when they lash out, they don't usually cause much harm. The difference with Gagne is that "he was a professional athlete and was trained to do certain moves. This is what makes him much more dangerous than the ordinary person" with dementia. Helmut Gutmann fled Nazi Germany in 1936, became a U.S.

citizen and joined the Army, where he worked to try to develop an antidote for mustard gas, among other projects, according to his family. The company that runs the nursing home refused to comment, citing federal privacy laws. Gagne was the founder and owner of the American Wrestling Association and wore its championship belt. In the 1960s and 70s, his All-Star Wrestling was a TV sensation.

STEVE KARNOWSKI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS During his glory days as a pro wrestler, Verne Gagne shared the spotlight with other burly men in trunks, guys with names like Killer Kowalski, Mad Dog Va-chon, The Crusher and Baron Von Raschke. But all of that seemed well in the past until just weeks ago, when authorities say Gagne, 82 and suffering from Alzheimer's disease, apparently body-slammed a 97-year-old fellow patient at the suburban nursing home where they both lived, causing the man's death. Bloomington police are investigating, but not even the victim's widow wants to see the dementia-stricken Gagne prosecuted.

"It's been so hard on both families," said Greg Gagne, Gagne's son and a former wrestler himself. Helmut Gutmann, a former cancer researcher who suffered from dementia himself, died Feb. 14, about three weeks after breaking his hip in the confrontation. Authorities ruled his death a homicide. Police said there was no clear indication of what set Gagne off, and neither man could remember the incident afterward.

Behavior and personality changes are common as Alzheimer's progresses, and victims of the mind-robbing disease can become agitated. Like others with the disease, Gagne had all but lost his short-term memory, while his recollections of long-ago events were vivid. But whether he was suffering a flashback to his days in the ring, as some have speculated, is anybody's guess. Police said they plan to forward the case to prosecutors by the end of the week for possible charges. Gagne, who has since turned 83, has been moved to another institution.
