NEW JERSEY DAILY BRIEFING;757 Survivor Denied Benefits
Gonzalo Dussan, who survived the American Airlines crash that killed his companion and son in Colombia last December, is being denied insurance benefits on his companion, Nancy Delgado, because the couple weren't legally wed, The A.P. reported yesterday. Mr. Dussan bought his tickets using a Citibank MasterCard, which automatically provides flight insurance. But Federal Insurance Company, which underwrites the insurance, rejected his claim for $150,000 on Ms. Delgado's death. JOE SHARKEY
