...painfully shy and often appears uncomfortable in public. Although he lives in the Denver area, he is little known there outside business circles, and he forbids interviewers to ask about his wife Leslie or their two children. A benevolent boss and a passionate sailor, Malone once painstakingly restored a turn-of-the century commuter boat that had ferried robber barons along the Hudson River. Among the few personal touches in his office are a working model of an 1854 America's Cup racer and a replica of his own yacht, the Leslie Ann. Employees call him ''Doctor'' for the Ph.D...
...impossibly good news: ''We are donating a heart to the baby,'' she declared. The cameras closed in on Jesse's stunned parents as they broke into cries of joy, smiles and tears. The audience went wild. For a moment it seemed that television itself had brought about this triumphant turn of events. And in a way, it had. A week earlier the case of Baby Jesse had become a cause celebre, when officials at Loma Linda University Medical Center, 60 miles east of Los Angeles, had refused to consider the infant as a candidate for transplant. The hospital had apparently...
...precise nature of its objections to Jesse's parents, TIME learned last week that Sepulveda has a record of arrests for drunk driving, and had been through a ''substance abuse'' treatment program. Though he downplays these problems, Sepulveda says, ''I do think that Loma Linda had good reasons to turn us down.''

Frank Clemenshaw, 22, and Deborah Walters, 33, the Michigan couple who donated their baby's heart to Jesse, admitted they had been moved...
...obligatory Swan Lake, but what shows her off best is a rather outrageous theater piece by Maurice Bejart. In Arepo, Guillem performs five roles, with suitable costume changes, that display her personal range as well as the gamut of ballet's dramatic postures. She does the classic ballerina turn, the rehearsal-costume pas de deux, the androgynous duet, the music-hall floozy and, best of all, the woman-as-Mephisto, in a sexy getup that is mostly tights. She runs her career with great savvy. When things looked dull for a stretch in Paris last winter, she free-lanced...
...this family history, Gail Lumet Buckley reveals the source of her mother's weariness and, en route, shows that fatigue can be contagious. Lena, it appears, was no sudden black star, up from ghetto poverty. Her ancestors, the ''old'' Hornes, had settled in New York City before the turn of the century. From the evidence of the book's many photographs, they were all attractive, intelligent people who paid a good deal of attention to clothes and carriage. Lena's grandmother Cora was a college graduate--uncommon even among white women of her time. Her grandfather Edwin was an alternate...
