Charles W. Cheng of Los Angeles, an educator and civil rights activist who was involved in the movement to desegregate Boston public schools, was among those killed in Friday's crash of the American Airlines DC-10 at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. He was 42 years...
When the nurse removed the bandages from her stomach, Virginia O'Hare, 42, could scarcely believe her eyes. "The stitches weren't even closed. Blood was oozing, and I saw this hole on the left side of my stomach." As she told a Manhattan court, her belly button had been displaced half an inch to the left, and a thick scar wound across her abdomen from thigh to thigh. Her doctor's promise to give her "a nice flat, sexy belly" with a routine operation called a lipectomy, or tummy tuck, had turned into a nightmare...
Literally coming apart at the seams, as her lawyer put it, O'Hare brought a $1.5 million suit against her surgeon, Howard Bellin. On the stand, O'Hare testified that the 1974 operation had reduced her from a self-confident, aggressive owner of her own employment agency, earning $45,000 a year, to a selfconscious, emotional cripple, barely able to make $18,000.

Last week, after eight days of weighing the evidence-including photos-the jury of four men and two women took only four hours to ease the scarred O'Hare's pain. For this suffering, plus loss of income and earning power, plus medical expenses, it awarded her precisely $854,219.61, a stunning amount that headline writers could not resist calling variously NAVEL VICTORY, BATTLE OF MIDWAY, and BELLY LAUGH. Hours later, patient and doctor ran into each other at Manhattan's "21" Club; she was there to celebrate, he to ponder an appeal and "the absurdity...
...Angeles about 11 years ago, the Aquarius theatre's exterior wall faced the parking lot muraled in a spiralling Beardsley-style medley of psychedelic colors and stereotyped figures on their way to Woodstock. That was when we were in the midst of Vietnam, Chicago 7, Timothy Leary and Hare Krishna. The play poked fun at everyone, including its own heroes to some degree, but some earnest zeal and anger permeated, betraying a sympathy with the movement. Fortunately, the movie is handled with humor and a light easygoing attitude which circumvents the cringing prospect of being subjected to cliched pseudo-ideologies...
