Wednesday when high-level diplo-

 Wednesday-warned

solve.

In

  a somber, unusually long

will be no sacred cows and there  will  be no

sacrificial lambs in the  struggle to get state

Cuomo

 devoted

 a

 large part

 of his speech

to a stinging criticism of the federal govern-

Bush

 and the D emocratic-led U.S. Congress

—   for its policies and programs,  which  he

said have been detrime ntal to state and local

governments .  He  re fe rred repeatedly  to

what he  termed  a  national

Governor's

 

Message Has

Hint of  Deja  Vu

By MATTHEW COX

 lt ny

  ureau

If  some  of 'the  proposals in  Gov.  M ar io

Cuomo's annual message to the  legislature

look familiar,  they ought to.

He's made them before.

Governors take advantage of the annual

address to  lawmakers to float agendas  that

can  be grounded as much in political rhetoric

as in pragmatism.

In

 his first State of the State address in

1983, for example, Cuomo called  for public

financing of  campaigns f or  statewide  office.

The  legislature failed to support his plan.

The

 121-page list

 of proposals he

 gave

  to

lawmakers

 W ednesday resurrects

 the same

proposal,

 w i t h

 some

  modifications.

 There

were no  immediate indications the  reception

will be any different this

 year.

A  Cuomo spokesman said

  the  governor

knows many

 of his

  suggestions  will

 end up in

the

  legislative  trash  bin.

 But

  that  doesn't

mean they are futile, he said.

  Certain

  proposals require seasoning

 Coach Comes

 from

By D O N N I E WE BB

The Post Standard •

The call came to meet Jake Crouthamel at

his

  New Orleans

  hotel room

  at

  7:45 a.m.

Tuesday.

Paul Pasqualoni hadn't

  slept

 for  days

anyway, so  getting  to the  church  on  time

wasn't a problem for the  lifelong  bachelor.

Pasqualoni,  41, was about to hear the uni-

maginable. Crouthamel,

 Syracuse

  Univer-

sity's athletic

 director, was

 about

 to ask

 Pas-

qualoni if he wanted to coach the   football

team ... as in become

  head

  coach of the

Orangemen.

  I

  knocked

 on the

 door, Pasqualoni said.

 He

 said 'Sit down.'

 So I sat

 down.

 I sat

 down

and  I listened. When Jake speaks, he

 doesn't,

•

  Pasqualoni wa nts his fo rmer S U col-

leagues  to stay as assistants/D-1.

•  Orange

 new coach/D-4.

speak that often, so I listened.

Crouthamel offered  Pasqualoni

 t he

  head

coaching job less  than 48  hours after it was

abdicated by

  Dick MacPherson,

  who le f t

Syracuse

  a f t e r

  10 seasons for the

  head

coaching job with  the New England Patriots

of t he  National Football League.

The news of Pasqualoni's promotion hit

like

 a

  lightning bolt.

 He had not

  been consid-

ered a cand idate by anyone except Crouth a-

mel. Pasqualoni said  he'never  considered

himself  a  candidate unti l  Crou thamel asked

him  if he  wanted the  job.

Pasqualoni's nam e failed  to appear on any

speculative lists m a k i n g the  rounds,  lists

compiled by guesses  w i t h i n  t h e a t h le t i c

depar tment and the current coaching  staff.

  This

 was a

 pre t ty well-kept

 secret... fo r

a  day , Pasqualoni said.

So who is this well-kept secret?

Paul Pasqualoni is a 1972 gra du ate of

Penn State, where  he was a

  walk-on

  line-

backer u nd e r coach Joe Paterno.  Pasqualoni

joked

  that he was the worst

  linebacker

  to

ever  play  for de fensive coach Je r ry San-

dusky.

 Under Fire

ANTONIA C. NOVELLO

Warn* of HJQh-Powered Win*

 t ff   and News Service eports

Consumers are being endangered by a  high-

alcohol

 dr ink made

 in

 Canandaigu a that looks like

a

 mild

 wine cooler, but is as potent as five

 shots

 of

vodka,

 Surgeon

  General

  Antonia .Novello

  said

Wednesday.

Th e  fortified  wine Cisco,  which  is 20 percent

alcohol, is particularly dangerous to unsuspect ing

teen-agers,  who may  think

  they

  are  drink ing  a

wine  cooler that

  typically

 would have a 4 percent

alcohol

 content,

  Novello

  told-reporters at a

Washington, D.C., news conference.

Cisco is made by Ontario County-based Canan-

daigua Wine Co. The company also makes

  Wild

Irish  Rose

  fortified

  wine and Sun Country wine

coolers.

Youths who are  familiar w ith Cisco have taken

to  calling it  liquid crack because of its

 strong

effect,

  Novello said.

 It  looks like a wine cooler. It smells like a wine

cooler,  but it isn't, she said. It 's an  incredibly

potent , potentially lethal alcohoi'ic

 beverage.

Cisco,

  which

  is  carbonated  and  comes  in

  five

flavors,

  is

  sold

  in

  small  bottles shaped

  like wine

coolers and often is stocked in convenienc e store

near  ordinary wine coolers. Some

 of its

  point-of-

purchase d isplays tout t hat C isco

  takes yo u b>

surprise.

Canandaigua

  Chairman

  Marvin

  Sands

 said the

real problem

  is

  underage

  dr inking

  an d

  alcoho

abuse, not Cisco.

He   said  c o m pa ny off ic ials

  would

  m e e t  with

Novello.

  W e don 't  really believe that a pack age

 change

will  solve

  the

  problem,

 bu t

  we'll keep

  an

  oper

mind,

Sands said.

After

  earlier criticism,

 the

  company  agreed

 tc

state on the label that the  drink  is not a

  wine
