LAWYERS LOOK AT ALLEGATIONS OF DRUG USE IN REGGIE LEWIS SUIT

          Lawyers and investigators "defending the four Boston
     doctors sued by the widow of Reggie Lewis are focusing on
     possible drug use by the former Boston Celtic star as a
     contributing factor in his heart attack in 1993," according
     to McDonough & Kurkjian in a front-page feature in the
     BOSTON GLOBE.  The "allegations about drug use ... raise the
     possibility that [Lewis] lied about previous use of drugs
     during the application process for an insurance policy taken
     out by the Celtics" in '91.  If it is determined that Lewis
     lied on his insurance application, "it is possible that the
     insurance company could seek to reclaim some or all of its
     payments on the grounds that he committed fraud" (BOSTON
     GLOBE, 8/26).  The Celtics and widow Donna Harris-Lewis
     "shared in the reportedly more than" $14M of life insurance
     proceeds as a result of Lewis' death (BOSTON GLOBE, 8/26).
