...court awarded custody of Marty to Mitchell and ordered him to pay Martha $1,000 a week. But the disbarred Mitchell fell $36,000 behind. Only two weeks ago, a judge ordered him to pay up after Martha's attorney described her as desperately ill from bone-marrow cancer and "without funds and without friends."

To make matters worse, the chances of a successful bone-marrow transplant, a technique employed sometimes in aplastic anemia and occasionally in leukemia cases, faded when the likeliest donor, Teddy's sister Elizabeth, 9, turned out to have a distinctly different marrow type...
