DANA QUIGLEY Golfer By SCOn HIAASEN Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Wallace Quigley always thought of his son Dana as a champion. On Sunday afternoon, he died just a few hours before it came true. Golfer Dana Quigley of West Palm Beach won his first professional tournament Sunday, the Senior PGA Tour Northville Long Island Classic in Jericho, N.Y., only to learn a few minutes later that his 81-year-old father had passed away while he was on the course. "I always told him I was going to win one for him and buy a house for him on the water in West Palm Beach," Quigley said. "I just wish he'd have been here for it" After the victory ceremony, Quigley received a phone call from his brother, Paul, who informed him of their father's the tournament, but his father was unconscious and unable to speak, said Quigley's mother, Dot.

"We'll never know if he knew or not," she said. When his father died, Quigley was in the stretch run of the tournament of his life. The club pro who began playing PGA seniors' tourneys this spring after his 50th birthday shot a 2-under-par 70 Sunday and finished with a 54-hole total of 12-under 204. He dropped a par putt on the third hole of a playoff to defeat Jay Sigel and collect a $150,000 check. With the victory, Quigley now auto-Please see death from lung cancer at about 1 p.m.

So you wonder how much longer we're going to be able to hang on. MARGARET WILSON Resident of Montserrat Volcano turns Caribbean gem into isle of ash veto pen Special-interest items in the balanced-budget plan will be the first test of the new power. Los Angeles Times WASHINGTON President Clinton will use his new line-time veto power for the first time today to strike down special-interest tax-and-spending provisions in the balanced-budget package he crafted with Congress, senior administration officials said Sunday. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, confirming the president's decision to exercise the selective power, said the action will "create a useful and, I think, potentially very strong deterrent to people including inappropriate measures in future legislation." "He'll use it on both the tax and the spending side," Rubin said on ABC's This Week interview program. Although Rubin declined to say exactly which provisions Clinton will excise from the budget package, which was signed into law Tuesday, administration officials suggested the targets will be relatively minor budget provisions Congress inserted to benefit favored constituencies.

But it was clear the White House hopes to use today's action as a way to convince the public Clinton opposes special-interest pork. "I think the American people will see from his use of the line-item veto that business-as-usual is over in Washington," White House senior adviser Rahm Emmanuel told CBS' Face the Nation program. The power of the line-item veto has been sought by presidents dating back to the 19th century, but Clinton will be the first chief executive empowered to wield it. Previously, the president could use his veto power only against an entire bill, and could not choose specific provisions to kill. Congress can still override a line-item veto.

The Republican-controlled Congress approved line-item veto power for the president last year, and it took effect on Jan. 1. The Supreme Court in June dismissed a constitutional challenge to the provision. The court's ruling did not determine the constitutional merits of the line-item veto. Clinton had been debating in recent days whether to use his new power on the balanced-budget package, with some aides arguing he might stir further partisan rancor on a legislative package that has already been the source of plenty of partisan bickering.

By LARRY R0HTER The New York Times SALEM, Montserrat The long-abandoned capital lies in ruins, destroyed a week ago by a tide of volcanic ash and superheated gas. Nearly two-thirds of the island's population has been evacuated, and the 4,000 people who remain now worry that all of their tiny Caribbean island may soon be unfit for human habitation.

NEWS About 1 ,600 citizens were held, caught up in the hysteria that swept the West Coast after Pearl Harbor was bombed. By JAMES BROOKE The New York Times MISSOULA, Mont. For decades, Italian immigrant families who lived through World War II in the United States did not want to talk about the curfews, confiscations of fishing boats, forced moves from seacoast towns, police searches of their homes and internments here at Fort Missoula. But researchers are fleshing out this obscure footnote to American history: the treatment of 600,000 Italian citizens in the United States who were classified as "enemy aliens" after World War II began.

And that is stirring memories among those who lived through it. In 1942, when this old frontier Army post served as one of the nation's largest internment camps, the most widely spoken language at the post was not Japanese or English, but Italian.

By CHRISTINE STAPLET0N Palm Bi'ach Post Staff Writer WEST PALM BEACH For nearly 40 years, three simple words have protected cigarette makers' secrets: attorney-client privilege, the sacred legal tenet that communications between lawyers and their clients are confidential. Now, however, tobacco lawyers, like the industry they represent, are under siege as judges in Florida and three other states have rejected privilege claims because they found evidence that it was being used to cover up fraudulent activities.

A judge in a fifth state, New York, also found evidence of fraud but ordered industry documents released because he found they don't qualify as privileged communications that should be shielded.
