JACK MURPHY STADIUM TALKS FAIL TO PROGRESS IN SAN DIEGO

          San Diego Mayor Susan Golding cut her meeting short
     with former City Councilman Bruce Henderson on the Jack
     Murphy Stadium expansion project, "but not before" the
     meeting "had developed into near-bedlam," according to Braun
     & Huard in the SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE.  The mayor, who had
     "been looking forward to a private talk with her chief
     protagonist" on the issue, was forced to "cut the session
     short" as a crowd of reporters grew, and the mayor
     "pointedly reminding" Henderson that "he was elected by no
     one, while she 'was elected by the people.'" 
          CRAZY DAYS INDEED:  Chargers President Dean Spanos said
     the team would not renegotiate its lease no matter what
     agreement Golding might be able to reach to end Henderson's
     legal challenge to the expansion.  U.S. Rep. Bob Filner has
     said he has agreed to talk to NFL Commissioner Paul
     Tagliabue to see if the NFL will "pressure" the Chargers to
     negotiate (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 2/13).
