...still anonymous 35-year-old man who received a baboon's liver in June is not doing well. The problem is infection, not rejection. Dye injected into his bile ducts to make them show up on X rays apparently caused the infection, and the patient's immune system, weakened by antirejection drugs, could not easily fight it. High doses of antibiotics reduced the resulting fever. But when tests showed the liver was excreting too little bile, the man's condition was downgraded to critical. A similar transplant on another patient was postponed until doctors resolve the situation...

...bright is bad. Max, the rapacious industrialist, has a Stokowskian white mane that helps Gothamites think of him as Santa Claus, though Selina derisively calls him "Anti Claus."

...There Goes the Neighborhood" is the album's best track. The cut begins with a typical slow grind that every listener knows will in seconds explode into Ice-T's raging vocals (you'll be surprised by his easy cross-over from rap into rock) spewing verbal bile about racism and segregation. For the Top-40 jokers who think that a Nirvana mosh is top quality, I fear for their survival in a club crowd energized by "there Goes the Neighborhood...

...surgeons have learned how to remove gall bladders laparoscopically. "That may be too quick," acknowledges Dr. Nathaniel Soper, a general surgeon at Washington University in St. Louis, since laparoscopic surgery takes considerable practice. Currently, for . instance, laparoscopic gall-bladder removal appears to carry a slightly elevated risk of bile-duct injury, but the injuries seem to be concentrated in the first operations a surgeon performs. For this reason, medical societies have begun drawing up training standards that direct novices to practice on animals first and then to conduct their first operations under an expert...
