...Sackler does not see giving money to an institution as a means for influencing the institution's actions. "As a donor, I have been very sensitive to the fact that when I was a student, I objected to outsiders influencing decisions just because they had donated money," he said.

Warren, a Holworthy resident, has an i.d. from a Montreal acupuncture school, which he got from a one-time student of the school. Warren installed his own mug shot in place of its former owner's and assumed the donor's name and 1962 birth date.

Two days later a heart had still not been found, and Copeland recalls, "he looked like a piece of yellow paste. We felt he was going to die within hours." Unless a donor heart could be found, Drummond's only chance for survival was a temporary Jarvik...
