Nadia Comaneci, apparently upset over the breakup of a personal relationship, canceled a lecture scheduled for Wednesday night, her agent said.

The speech, titled "Vault into Freedom," at Nassau Community College on Long Island was to have been the former Olympic gymnast's first U.S. appearance on the lecture circuit, said Mike Lewis, a spokesman for the college.

Bob Davis of American Program Bureau in Boston said that people in her party have told him that Comaneci and Constantin Panait, who has a wife and four children in Florida, had broken up on the way back from a trip to Tokyo.

Jacqueline Onassis agreed Wednesday to give a group of Wampanoag Indians a plot of land and $100,000 in exchange for a tiny beachfront site, ending an acrimonious 10-year dispute over the property.

The case pitted Onassis' desire for privacy against the Indians' belief that they should retain tribal lands on Martha's Vineyard.
