Seventy-five percent of the drug purchases in America are done by casual drug users, and thats white, upper-middle class Americans that drive their Pontiac Firebirds into the ghetto and buy these killer drugs," Solomon said. You dont see the murders take place out in the suburbs, but its the casual drug user who supplies the demand for these drugs, he said. If you do away with the demand for drugs, then the drugs will dry up in this country. When it starts to affect their livelihoods, maybe then theyll stop using these drugs. But license suspensions wouldnt necessarily affect their livelihoods, because they would receive limited driving permits enabling them to continue commuting to work, he said.

There is a lot of money at stake. In the current fiscal year, the Federal Highway Administration will distribute some $12.3 billion to the states. Of that total, California will get the largest chunk. suspension of drug offenders licenses, but only a few, such as New Jersey, have mandated such suspensions. Passed Oct.

27 and signed by Bush on Nov. 5, the measure ac-" complishes in large part what national drug control policy director William J. Bennett tried to impose more than a year ago. But White House chief of staff John Sununu, a former governor of New Hampshire, blocked that effort, arguing that states should be allowed to decide such matters for themselves free from federal gov-1 emment coercion, administration sources say. The new legislation contains an out for states that dont want to impose the new rules but still I want their full share of federal 'highway funds: their legislatures must vote specifically against requiring the license suspensions and their governors must go on record in agreement with that position.

This forces the states to be ac-l countable, said an administration source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

In states where they cant agree for example, the governor -wants to suspend licenses but at 'least one chamber of the state legislature does not the federal highway funds would be cut. Rep.

The development is expected to generate about $27 million in sales taxes, $95 million in transient taxes charged to hotel guests and $735 million in property taxes for San Marcos over the next 36 years, according to a study commissioned by the developer. At Tuesdays meeting, several Elfin Forest residents expressed concern over how the project could brighten the evening sky, causing the rural residents to lose starry night views. But, the speakers agreed that they believed steps were being taken by the developer to mitigate such problems, and each voiced his support for the project. I dont think Ive ever had a project where I didnt get at least one phone call from someone who was concerned, said Coun-cilwoman Pia Harris, generally a slow-growth proponent. I dont think I got a single call this project.

That shows that someone did a good job. tical feet of the top of the brush-covered hills in the area, leaving San Marcos most prominent ridge line unspoiled, according to city Planning Director Jerry Backoff. The council, acting as the citys Redevelopment Agency, also unanimously voted Tuesday to allocate $12.25 million in redevelopment funds to the massive development. The funds will pay for about one-tenth of the roads, lights, sewers and other public improvements the city is requiring within the project, according-to City Manager Rick Gittings. The plans also set aside about 60 percent of the land for open space, including a 240-acre ridge-top regional park with hiking and horse trails, an equestrian center, and a 16- to 20-acre community park with playing fields and tennis courts.

The project is being developed by a subsidiary of San Diego-based Wolf Industries, which purchased the planned community in May for $58 million from We go the extra smile for you.

In testimony Tuesday, a prosecution witness said an overblown sense of self-importance made Betty Broderick crave vengeance when her husband left her for another woman. Betty Broderick was consumed by rage because her prominent attorney husband had the temerity to reject her and her perfection, said Melvin Goldzband, a San Diego psychiatrist. However, a defense expert who also testified Tuesday in Brodericks trial disagreed with Goldzband on several key points. According to psychologist Katherine DiFrancesca, Betty Broderick lacked a strong self-identity, viewing herself during her marriage primarily as a wife and mother.

As her marriage unraveled, the defendants mental health deteriorated with it, DiFrancesca testified. The two experts were the last witnesses to testify in the trial, which began Oct. 22. Goldzband said Tuesday that Betty Broderick has personality disorders with narcissistic and histrionic traits. Narcissistic people have to see themselves as pretty near perfect, said Goldzband, while those with histrionic traits strive to be the center of attention.

While Betty Broderick is charming and energetic, she also is selfish and lacks empathy, according to Goldzband. Her personality would not allow her satisfaction, even if Daniel Broderick had reached a quick settlement with her over their considerable community property, the psychiatrist testified. She wanted Dan, said Goldzband. She wanted not to be rejected. As for her behavior toward Dan and Linda Broderick which included obscene telephone messages, vandalism and driving her car into his front door Goldzband said: It was strictly a manifestation of her own rage and her need to break up that household and make trouble for them.

During an interview last week, Betty Broderick did not describe any physical or sexual abuse by her ex-husband, Goldzband said. That countered earlier testimony by a defense expert. After Tuesdays testimony, Superior Court Judge Thomas Whelan ruled on legal instructions to be read to jurors before their deliberations. In addition to first- and second-degree murder, Whelan ruled that the jury can consider a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter in the case of Daniel Brodericks death. The judge said he would rule this morning whether the charge can be considered in Linda Brodericks slaying.

The jury also will be allowed to consider charges of involuntary manslaughter for the deaths, Whelan ruled. sion, not a rash impulse. Wells scoffed at the defense ptheory that Broderick went to Brodericks Hillcrest home that day to talk to her ex-hus-band. If he refused, she was going to kill herself, Brodericks attor- ney said when the trial began. I say thats hogwash, Wells said.

If Betty Broderick had com-t mitted suicide, then Dan and his Tnew wife, Linda, would have won 5n the longstanding feud following the divorce. Wells told jurors that if they bad any doubt about whether Broderick meant to shoot the couple, they had only to recall what the La Jolla socialite did afterward. She walks over to where Dan Broderick is lying on the floor, where the phone is, and rips it out of the wall. That act is as cold and -deliberate and intentional as they come. She wanted them to die and she made sure they died.

Betty Broderick, 43, faces two counts of murder for the Nov. 5, 1989 shooting deaths of Daniel Broderick, 44, and his bride of six months, Linda Kolkena Broderick, 28. Daniel Broderick left his wife in 1985 after 16 years of marriage. The couples messy divorce dragged on in the courts for four years. Betty Broderick admitted the shootings during 3 Vi days of testimony earlier in the trial, but said she was driven to the desperate act by her ex-husbands psychological abuse and manipulation of the legal system.

Wells said Betty Broderick began thinking about murder in 1986 when she made threats to Dan and Linda Broderick on their answering machine. Those calls show that Betty Broderick was not a beaten-down woman, but a demanding, aggressive, angry, vulgar, vicious woman. A taped call she made to her 11-year-old son in 1987, in which she tells the boy she cant stop being angry at his father, sums up the essence of Betty Broderick, according to Wells. That call showed her hatred, her bitterness and her anger toward Dan and Linda. At the point where she shot the couple, the divorce proceedings were over and it appeared Broderick was going to get custody of her two young sons, Wells said.

When Betty Broderick couldnt make Dan and Linda Broderick miserable any more, she did the only thing that was left. She killed them. After the shootings, Broderick told people she thought any jury would give her a free ride once they learned how her ex-husband had treated her, Wells said. But the prosecutor told the jury, I believe the only true verdict based on the facts and law in this case is one of first-degree murder on both counts. Brodericks lawyer was expected to give his closing argument this morning.
