Statehood advocates, rebuffed in Sunday's narrow vote, said the island's inhabitants never had been quick to embrace change — not during four centuries of Spanish colonial rule. nor in 95 years as a U.S. territory. "When all the colonies of Spain were fighting for independence, we received all the loyalists to Spain from all the other places," said Charlie Rodriguez, the island Senate's majority leader. "We became a very docile, loyal people," he said. "We did not fight the Americans when they landed here" in 1898. Rodriguez backed Gov. Pedro Rossello in his attempt to alter Puerto Rico's ambiguous relationship with the United States and take the first step toward making the island the 51st state. About three-quarters of the 2.3 million registered voters turned out Sunday. No violence or tampering was reported, and the loser graciously bowed to the will of the people. Commonwealth received 823,258 votes, about 48.4 percent; statehood had 785,859 votes, or 46.2 percent, and Independence had 75,253 votes, or 4.4 percent. "People in Puerto Rico take too much time to change," Rodriguez complained. "You have to educate, take away misperceptions that people have had all their lives." Commonwealth supporters acknowledged that the tenor of their campaign was to present change as a potential threat to the island's Spanish language, its separate Olympic teams, and the commonwealth tax breaks that have helped transform a poor, sugar-farming land into an industrial, middle-class society. "People are content with their relationship with the United States," commonwealth campaign adviser Jose M. Berrocal said from his home in colonial Old San Juan. "It's as our slogan says, 'The best of both worlds.' People have seen the broad changes that commonwealth has made in their lives." Berrocal noted that the U.S. government had not been eager to change the status of its biggest overseas territory either. "In Washington, they see this as a godsend in many places," Berrocal said. "If the federal government supports any relationship, it's commonwealth. There's no interest in facilitating statehood." A formal petition for statehood would have met heavy opposition in Congress. The Clinton administration and Congress would have been forced to consider an appeal for equal status by 3.7 million American citizens and an additional federal payout to Puerto Rico estimated at $3 billion under statehood. The island already receives more than $7 billion a year in federal transfer payments. In Washington, President Clinton said he supported the Puerto Ricans' vote for commonwealth and looked forward "to maintaining the relationship of friendship and mutual respect." But Rodriguez warned that Sunday's vote left Puerto Rico vulnerable to congressional moves to push it toward independence, a status Puerto Ricans have repeatedly rejected. "If the U.S. Congress did something like that, you wouldn't have enough boats and planes to take away all the Puerto Ricans who would want to leave," he said. WASHINGTON Mississippi abortion law requiring consent OK'd by High Court The Associated Press WASHINGTON — A Mississippi abortion law requiring unmarried girls to get both parents' consent or a judge's permission before ending their pregnancies survived a Supreme Court challenge yesterday. Yesterday's action was not a ruling but an unexplained refusal to review the law. Nevertheless, both sides in the national debate over abortion were quick to react. "The justices have denied young women their day in court," said Catherine Albisa of the Center for Reproductive Law and Policy. THE NEWS in brief Burke Balch of National Right to Life Committee said yesterday's action was "not surprising." permission. The law requires that the court proceedings be speedy and confidential. "What is surprising is how successful abortion advocates have been in tying up these laws in court after the Supreme Court strongly indicated that two-parent consent laws with (judicial) bypass would be constitutional." Balch said. The law requires doctors to obtain written permission from both parents before performing an abortion on a girl who is unmarried, under 18 and not supporting herself. The law also requires judges to grant permission if a girl shows she is mature enough to make the abortion decision on her own or proves an abortion is in her best interest. A judicial-bypass provision allows such a girl to avoid telling either parent if the girl gets a judge's MINNEOLA. N.Y. Buttafuoco gets six months MINEOLA, N.Y. — The saga that began in a Long Island auto body shop ended yesterday in a courtroom where a handcuffed, smirking Joey Buttafuco was led away to the same fate that befell his former lover. Anny Fisher — tail time. The Associated Press Buttafuoco's expression never changed as he was sentenced to the maximum six months in prison, $5,000 fine and five years' probation for statutory rape. Only minutes earlier, Fisher, now 19, faced Buttafuco for the first time since she shot his wife, Mary Jo, on May 19, 1992. In a nervous, barely audible voice, she spoke of the ill-fated relationship that began "when I was a 16-year-old with braces." "This man took me to expensive restaurants and cheap motels," she said softly. "I am sad to say that he taught me well. He taught me to disrespect myself and to deceive my parents. Unfortunately, these were lessons that I learned too quickly." The midday drama provided a certain closure to the case that has provided grist for countless talkshow jokes and three made-for-TV movies. A year ago in the same courthouse, Fisher had been sentenced to five to 15 years for shooting Mrs. Buttafuco, who still has a bullet lodged next to her brain. Then, Buttafuoco wanted justice. On Monday, it was Amy's turn. Buttafucoo's attorney, Dominic Barbara, argued for probation instead of jail, saying his client "is a devoted and loving father. A devoted and loving son." Nassau County Court Judge Jack Mackston delivered the sentence without comment. In a final slap, he told Buttafuco he also had to pay a $5 "victim's assistance" fee. Buttafuoco could be released from the county jail in four months.
