But Mary has had three miscarriages, possibly because of blood disorders. So when she became pregnant again, she decided that "we're not just going to sit back and lose another baby." Now, she has given birth to a 7-lb. girl at the University Hospitals of Cleveland. While the baby may still need an exchange transfusion, mother and daughter should be discharged shortly...

To him, the red nonoperating tag on his propeller was a meaningless decoration. Haled last week into Nevada's Federal District Court on eleven counts (each carrying a $1,000 penalty) and threatened with permanent grounding, he was fined $2,500. The Court ruled him subject to CAA regulation even though "the flights in question were not commercial in character and ... no commercial air routes were entered...
