On the Cushy Trail of Lewis and Clark

The fates of the 2012 Olympics and the proposed West Side stadium have become so intertwined that it sometimes seems as if all the Summer Games would be played at the railyards on West 33rd Street.   But Olympic planners say there is great deal more at stake for the city as a whole, and for the outlying region. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has said that the vote on the stadium scheduled in Albany today is crucial to the city's bid; the International Olympic Committee will begin its selection process on July 6.

The Federal Aviation Administration said yesterday that abuses by some air traffic controllers at the office that handles traffic for the New York area's three major airports, as well as its own poor management, was costing it about $4 million a year in unnecessary overtime.     Releasing an unusual report prepared by air traffic experts from around the country, the agency said that controllers sometimes sought to intimidate managers at the office, the Terminal Radar Approach Control in Westbury, on Long Island, and showed disrespect for them. The report also chided controllers for using excessive profanity in the control room, saying controllers directing traffic could be distracted.   

F.A.A. Says Controllers Abuse Overtime

State Supreme Court Justice Herman J Cahn issues ruling removing one obstacle to proposed West Side stadium, but no one can say how $2.2 billion project would fare among Albany lawmakers when they vote; judge dismisses challenge to pending sale of development rights over West Side railyards to New York Jets; Mayor Michael R Bloomberg and Gov George E Pataki spend day trying to turn courtroom victory into momentum to get project moving toward final aproval; but two skeptics in Albany who control stadium's fate--Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Senate majority leader Joseph L Bruno--show no sign of relenting; Silver renews his pledge to support stadium--but not necessarily on West side--if New York wins its bid for 2012 Summer Olympics; Bruno issues similar-sounding letter to International Olympic Committee; State Comptroller Alan G Hevesi tells members of Public Authorities Control Board that it is premature to make decision on stadium; notes that it is still unclear how state and city will provide $600 million subsidy for stadium; demonstrations are held for and against project; photos (M)

Hurdle Cleared, West Side Stadium Backers Turn to Albany

The investor whose money prosecutors say was stolen by Alberto W. Vilar, the philanthropist and investment adviser, has been identified as the 67-year-old widow of a California millionaire.   The investor, generally identified in a Securities and Exchange Commission complaint as ''L.C.,'' but on two occasions as ''Cates,'' is Lily Cates, 67, of Manhattan, supporters of Mr. Vilar said, clearing up one of the mysteries surrounding his arrest. The original charges, unsealed on May 27, gave no details about his accuser, who has been identified in unrelated court cases also as Lily Cates Naify.

Dwyane Wade made a sudden crossover dribble to get free, but in the instant after his 19-foot jumper sailed through the net and the Miami Heat's lead ballooned to 20 points in the third quarter, he grabbed his side in pain.     Wade had wrenched a rib muscle. The Detroit Pistons pounced on the anxious Heat, deflated momentarily by the loss of the team's leading scorer, to cut Miami's lead in half.

 Attacks in Iraq Kill 33; Shiites and Sunnis Meet  A series of attacks, including a suicide motorcycle bombing, killed at least 33 people in Baghdad and in northern and central Iraq in what officials regard as an organized response to the counterinsurgency campaign by Iraqi security forces. In Baghdad, Shiite and Sunni Muslim leaders met to try to find a way to give the Sunnis a bigger role in drafting Iraq's new constitution.   PAGE A12    Video of Serb Role in Killings  Almost 10 years after the Srebrenica massacre, a video shows details of the fate of some of the 7,000 victims. Belgrade television showed a Serbian paramilitary force executing Muslim men in 1995. Several people in the video were later arrested as a result, the Serbian prime minister said.

PAGE B7    AOL Tries Another Tack  Almost from the start of a much-heralded merger five years ago, America Online has been a drag on Time Warner's share price and reputation, leading to speculation that it could be sold. To offset a steady loss of subscribers, AOL is now trying to reinvent itself with a free Internet portal.

AIDS epidemic threatens to take away hard-won gains of young girls in Africa; girls, orphaned and impoverished by deaths of parents, are being propelled into sex at shockingly early ages to support themselves, their siblings and, all too often, their own children; 12 million children are orphaned in sub-Saharan Africa because of AIDS; relief officials say boys also suffer, but girls tend to fare worse because they traditionally hold lower status in African society, are more vulnerable to sexual exploitation and, for anatomical reasons, are more likly than boys to contract HIV; new Unicef study finds that in Zimbabwe, orphaned girls are three times more likley to become infected than are girls whose parents are alive; in Zambia, orphaned girls are first to be withdrawn from school; impoverished relatives order some of them out on street at night to prostitute themselves to earn their keep; in Lesotho, growing number of adolescent girls are forced to work as maids or prostitutes; photos; map (L)

There may be a kind of magnetic force around Pedro Martínez, pulling all things sizzling and silly his way. If Martínez could pitch every night, the Mets would easily be the most exciting team in baseball.    Why is it that whenever Carlos Beltran hits a home run, Martínez is the Mets' starting pitcher? Why was it that when 18 sprinklers suddenly activated around the Shea Stadium infield during the first inning last night, Martínez was the one trapped on the mound, sticking his head in the spray for a moment, soaking it all in?

Researchers find that one gene is apparently by itself enough to create, or change, patterns of sexual behavior; in experiments, female fruit flies artificially endowed with single male-type gene act exactly like males in courtship, and males artificially given female version of gene become more passive and turn their sexual attention to other males; Dr Barry Dickson, lead author of paper appearing in journal Cell, says single gene in fruit fly is sufficient to determine all aspects of flies' sexual orientation and behavior; says instinctive behaviors can be specified by genetic programs; experts say they are both awed and shocked by findings; results are certain to prove influential in debates about whether genes or environment determine sexual orientation, although it is not clear if there is similar master sexual gene for humans (M)

Military recruiters struggling to refill their ranks two years into war in Iraq face growing opposition of parents; many parents say they are terrified that their children would be killed--or kill--in war that they see as unnecessary and without end; they object to four-year-old federal law that requires public schools to give military recruiters access to students or lose federal funding; legally, there is little parent can do to prevent child over 18 from enlisiting; but recruiters say it is very hard to sign up young man or woman over strong objections of parent; some recruiters say they have been threatened with violence by parents; they object to what they see as military's increased intrusion into lives of their children; Pentagon is making rare effort in American history to use only volunteers during sustained conflict; military offiicals say parental resistance could put all-volunteer force in jeopardy; Army has rolled out campaign aimed at parents; photos; graph (M)

''DEEP THROAT''? What a silly question. Of course he knows ''Deep Throat,'' said the clerk at Show World Center, on Eighth Avenue.   ''Over in the classics section,'' he said, flicking his head toward a rack of DVD's. Then he decided to look for it himself. He rummaged through cinematic icons like ''Behind the Green Door,'' ''The Devil in Miss Jones'' and ''Alice in Wonderland,'' definitely not the Lewis Carroll version. Alas, no ''Deep Throat.''

A little more than a year ago, three suitcases containing human body parts wrapped in plastic bags were found washed up along the Virginia shores of Chesapeake Bay.    The remains were quickly identified as those of William T. McGuire, a computer programmer from Woodbridge with a wife and two children. But there was little hard evidence pointing to a suspect.

Though Mary Pierce was clearly living and laughing in the present on Thursday as she rumbled back into the women's final and a match-up with Justine Henin-Hardenne, it was difficult not to let the mind drift to French Opens past.    As you watched Pierce kick her strong legs nervously between serves, take deep, theatrical breaths and arrange and rearrange her long hair, it was hard not to think back to 1990 and the 15-year-old Roland Garros debutante with the thick glasses, raw power and same tics.
