...this, the team at Brooklyn's Maimonides Medical Center, headed by Dr. Adrian Kantrowitz, admitted "unequivocal failure." Their patient, a 19-day-old boy, died 6½ hours after he received a new heart.

Yves St. Laurent's bestsellers have turned out to be a brown tweed suit with cape and brown velvet evening ensembles. "Brown is such a beautiful color for winter," says French Vogue Editor Francoise de Langlade de La Renta. "So warm, so wonderful against a tanned skin."
