...William Baumgartner sutured it piggyback over Couch's own ailing heart. By 10 a.m. the exhausted physicians had completed their tasks and made American medical history. It marked the first time in the U.S. that a living individual had donated his heart, in what is termed a "domino donor" organ exchange. Officials at London's Harefield Hospital revealed last week that Dr. Magdi Yacoub had actually been first to use the domino approach there in April...
...CASE proved an enormous success. Soon the group was performing in dining halls and at alumni functions, meting out punishment in the harsh but hip manner that has become its hallmark. The crowning achievement came with the request from the faculty council to be its official disciplinary organ. After the name was changed to the more formal "Judicial Board," the group was ready to hear its first case...

...years later Gary Ahearn sat down at the organ in a Los Angeles special-education classroom. Facing the keyboard for the first time, he played an imperfect but recognizable version of Liszt's Liebestraume. A teacher brought him to Walker, and today he plays eight instruments. Like Ahearn, the students at Hope University have learned emotional and physical control through music and art instruction. Indeed, Hope's program has been so successful that many students now hold part-time jobs...
