7 Fighting back from death's door. Page 5 Tho 49ors aro just super STANFORD. Calif. (API If there is a league higher than the National Football League, the Miami Dolphins will be glad to nominate Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers for membership. Montana gave a lesson in quarterbacking to the Dolphins' Dan Marino as the 49ers demolished the Dolphins 38-16 Sunday in Super Bowl XIX and proved that the team that entered this dream matchup at 17-1 was immeasurably superior to the Miami aggregation that was 16-2.

The 18 victories for the season and playoffs are the most ever by an NFL team. Montana had help from a defense that attacked Marino like none had before in a season when he shattered NFL records with 48 touchdown passes and and .5,084 passing yards. The 49ers limited the Dolphins, who entered the game with 80 touchdowns in 18 games, to just one and held them to just 25 yards rushing. See Page 13 for the full story on Super Bowl XIX.

Burger administered the oath to Reagan, who said: Ronald Reagan, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God." The final four words, which others have used before him, are not part of the constitutional language. When Reagan finished, Burger said, "Congratulations, sir." The president kissed and hugged first lady Nancy Reagan.

Nancy Reagan, wearing a red dress with large gold buttons, held a Bible that belonged to Reagan's mother. Outside Today will "be mostly cloudy, windy, 'and not as cold.

But she never heard his side of the story "because the bullet hit his lung and it was painful for him to talk and breathe at the same time." Cabey said life in the public housing projects was difficult, and many young people fall in with the wrong crowd.

Cabey described Darryl, the second of her six children, as "very polite, quiet and lazy, like most teen-agers."

With most committees just beginning to tackle bills this week, few measures will reach the floor of the House or Senate for debate until at Victim's NEW YORK (AP) Shirley Cabey, mother of one of four youths whom Bernhard Goetz acknowledges shooting on a subway, says she has received a lot of sympathetic mail from strangers along with a few hate letters which she places between the pages of a Bible. "People have their own opinion and I am praying for them, that's all I could do," Cabey said during an interview at her South Bronx apartment. "I don't know why I thought of doing that," she said of the letters in the Bible.

"I'm not a religious fanatic or anything. Just something told me to do that."

For both the House and Senate, that means committee work. Most of the important bills the Legislature will debate in 1985 will first be assigned to committees, who will fine-tune the measures before sending them on for debate by the full House or Senate.

Senate Majority Leader Lowell Junkins of Montrose and House Speaker Don Avenson of Oelwein both Democrats will meet today to decide where to assign major bills. "Most of it will be just getting into the grind and sorting through things," Junkins said. High on the list of major bills will be a proposed state lottery, on which Democrats have pinned their hopes for funding an array of economic development programs. "You'll begin to see more work on the lottery," Junkins said. Two lottery bills were introduced in the Senate last week, one by Sen.

Jack Rife, R-Moscow, and the other jointly sponsored by Democrats George Kinley of Des Moines and Norman Rodgers of Adel. Those bills are expected to go to the Senate Ways and Means Committee for initial consideration, but Junkins said that panel might ask that the Senate merely debate the same version of the lottery bill that was passed last year. That would allow the Senate to WASHINGTON (AP) Ronald Wilson Reagan, standing in the elegant warmth of the White House, swore the presidential oath for a second term Sunday before 94 guests and a national television audience. Outside, icy winds forced Reagan to cancel today's traditional parade and move indoors for his inaugural declaration of an "American renewal." Reagan feared frostbite for the estimated 350,000 participants and spectators who were expected to attend the parade. The Committee for the 50th American Inaugural said today's noontime re-enactment ceremony was being moved from the West Front of the Capitol to the Rotunda, with the guest list shrinking from 140,000 to several hundred.

Spokesman Larry Speakes said Reagan's inaugural address would look forward to "continuing America's proud and revolutionary tradition." He characterized it as being "poetic at times, ringing" and uplifting with its expressions of pride in America and the American spirit." "There will to some degree be a new call to arms the overall theme of American renewal," said outgoing White House chief of staff James Baker III. Following Reagan's formal swearing-in, top aides laid out a policy framework for the coming months: deep budget cuts, no tax increase, a strong arms control effort and continued support for allies in Central America. The inauguration was the sixth to fall on a Sunday. Tradition held that the pomp and pageantry would come today, and allowed the president to relax and watch the Super Bowl with 140 million other Americans. He expressed regret at having to call off the parade, a step taken as temperatures fell to zero degrees.
