Julie Rodriguez, from Pueblo, Colo., had liver cancer, which spread despite surgery and drug and X-ray treatment. On July 23, Dr. Thomas Starzl's University of Colorado transplant team removed her liver and replaced it with one from a child killed in an accident. Julie has since had part of a lung and another tumor removed; she may still have cancer. But, says her mother, "she's a lot happier. She's really 100% better. The future-we don't know.

Died. Bernard Kilgore, 59, president of Dow Jones & Co. from 1945 to 1966; of cancer; in Princeton, N.J. The Indiana-born newsman signed on at the Wall Street Journal in 1929, made his way to the top by 1941 and thereafter transformed the parochial financial paper into one of the nation's most influential newspapers, aimed, as Kilgore liked to say, "at everyone who is engaged in making a living or is interested in how other people make a living."
