Zerbini announced that he had a re ipient, Joao Ferreira da Cunha, four weeks ago. Last week providence provided an unidentified victim of a traffic accident. The prospective donor's eyes were dilated and his breathing was labored-but his heart was still beating. Zerbini had the victim wheeled to an operating room; tissue tests determined that he was a suitable donor. After the electroencephalograph showed that all brain waves had stopped, they opened the victim's chest-even though the heart was still beating. One hour and 25 minutes later, the heart stopped, and two surgical teams...
...before the Sao Paulo transplant, Rio de Janeiro's Dr. Edson Teixeira implanted a pancreas in diabetic, ex-soccer-star -turned -government-official Arari Charbel Rios, 28. Rather than remove Rios' failing pancreas, Teixeira simply stitched the new organ, donated by a heart-attack victim, to his patient's duodenum-snugly against the old one.

And that about describes her latest flick, Southern Star, currently shooting in the wilds of Senegal. Ursula spends most of the movie jouncing around in a 1912 Rochet-Schneider trying to spring her fiancé (George Segal) from the local hoosegow where he's been tossed by her dad as a suspected jewel thief. But voyeurs need not despair: hopefully, in Ursula's next film...
...starred Dancer's Image. "Tarnished Image," the cynics were dubbing Peter Fuller's colt even before the painful debacle that was Saturday's Preakness Stakes. A half century of Triple Crown racing without a dis-qualification, and the Dancer in his Triple Crown career is now two-for-two, victim twice of bizarre circumstances largely beyond anyone's control...
