...city's rail-building and -refurbishing project: he could not find anyone opposed to it. By next Thanksgiving, the first of the system's fleet of light-rail cars is scheduled to start rumbling along a 1.1-mile run under the center city; a 9.4-mile aboveground segment connecting downtown to Pittsburgh's South Hills suburbs is expected to open in 1985. So far, local taxpayers have escaped all but 3% of the estimated $480 million in costs; the state and the Federal Government are picking up the rest. Says James Maloney, former executive director...

This is done by taking a segment of a blood vessel, usually from the leg, and grafting it into the chest, where it is used to create a detour around the obstruction. For patients with blockages in the left main coronary artery, the heart's principal conduit, a bypass offers the best hope of prolonging life.
