...Milken and Lori, who was his high school sweetheart, live quietly with their three children (Greg, 15, Lance, 12, Bari, 7) in Encino. Their five-bedroom house, which might sell for $3 million, was once occupied by Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. It is a suburban idyll trimmed by red and white Impatiens, finished inside with dark oak paneling and filled with photographs of the children...

...hemoglobin substitute is still some years away, and synthetic red- cell expanders are only in the test stages. There are also drawbacks to laying in a private stock of blood for a transfusion that may never be necessary. Three pints are typically requested for surgery, and drawing, processing and storing them can be expensive -- about $200 a pint per year. The donor must also pay the cost of transporting the blood to where it is needed -- an especially difficult task if the patient is involved in an automobile accident miles from his blood bank...
