"Everybody who is conspicuous in this country might become the target of a terrorist attack," said Stratis Stratigis, a former chairman of Athens organizers.

"Of course, she might be a target, and she better guard herself." Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki. the organizing committee president, is the wife of multimillionaire Greek industrialist Theodores Angelopoulos, whose uncle was shot and killed in 186 by the terrorist group November 17. The group is Europe's most elusive terrorist organization and has killed 22 people since it first appeared in 1975 with the assassination of the CIA station chief in Athens. No group members have been arrested, and there are no known suspects. The group has never been known to call any of its victims.

Stratigis said he received numerous threats during his term from April 1998 to June 1999, but thought most of them were "bad jokes." "The threats were not specific, they were anonymous telephone calls about a dozen, perhaps more at various instances." Stratigis said he did not feel the need for bodyguards.

Anesa Beard, 16, easily won the right to compete in Saturday's state finals after taking part in a special qualifying meet held just for her on Friday. "I'm just glad it's over," said Beard, who is ranked No. 2 in the state. "There really was a lot of pressure to get through everything. This was not like a normal meet."

A judging official decided the hair-band violated the no-jewelry rule during competition.

Beard was allowed to complete the program with 10 dives on Friday and received nearly 56 more points than the 321.40 that she needed to make the finals. NHL suspends Nolan 11 games SAN JOSE, Calif.

On what might be the last day of dry weather, Mickelson had an 8-under 64 on the easier North Course at Torrey Pines to pull into a share of the 36-hole lead with Davis Iive III, who beat him out of a win last week at Pebble Beach. Mickelson, who stopped Tiger Woods' PGA Tour winning streak at six when he won the Buick Invitational last year, was at 132 and hopeful that his best golf not to mention a better physical condition was ahead of him. "As the week has gone on, I've slowly felt better and better," he said. "Hopefully, by tomorrow or Sunday I'll be 100 percent." Ixve joined him at 12-under 132, although not the way he would have envisioned.

After belting a couple of good drives on the practice range, Love hit only four fairways on a sunny, slightly breezy day on the bluffs over the Pacific Ocean. "I was happy with my swing, but I got a little out of rhythm with my driver," said Love, who managed to make the best out of a scrappy round with a 67. one or two," she said of her play on the greens in her first tournament of the year. Garcia leads Norman tourney SYDNEY, Australia Sergio Garcia leads the Greg Norman Holden Invitational after two rounds, but his lead isn't safe with the host only one stroke behind.

The Spanish star opened with a 64 Thursday. Norman, who will be 46 Saturday, shot a 68. "Maybe I'll give Greg a birthday kiss on the first tee tomorrow," Garcia said. "I'm happy that I'm going to have the chance to play with him," Norman is winless since the 1998 event at The Australian, Canlzares leads Classic NAPLES, Ha. Spain's Jose Maria Canizares shot a 4-under-par 68 on Friday to take a one-stroke lead over Dana Quigley and Mike McCullough In the ACE Group Classic.

Canizares, seeking his first senior title, made a 25-foot eagle putt on No. 16 and played the final four holes in 4 under. I le lost to Imny Wadkins last year on the third hole of a playoff. First-round leader Brent Geiberger was another stroke back after a 69, while K.J. Choi had a 65 and was at 134, Woods can't seem to play this tournament without flirting with a missed cut.

He did that two years ago and came back to shoot 62-65 on the weekend and win. The "cut watch" was on last year, too, and Woods pulled himself together and was tied for the lead with five holes to play before finishing second. Sorenstam takes early lead KEAUHOU, Hawaii Sweden's Annika Sorenstam shot a 5-under-par 67 on Friday to take the lead early in the second round of the Takefuji Classic. Playing under overcast skies at the Kona Country Club, Sorenstam, who lost to Australian star Karrie Webb in a playoff a year ago, started the round even with Webb at 2 under three strokes behind leader Maria I Ijorth of Sweden. By the time I Ijorth teed off in the afternoon, Sorenstam had already moved into a tie for the lead and she kept going.

On the front nine, she had two birdies and got to 7 under with three birdies over a stretch of four holes. And it could have been better, according to Sorenstam.

McEnroe, with stars Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras skipping the event, brought a young team including Gambill, 23; Gimclstob, 24; and Roddick, 18, to this best-of five series. He hoped Martin, 30, would be the anchor. It did not work out that way. In winning his second Davis Associated Press BASEL, Switzerland Patrick McEnroe's debut as U.S.
