Nancy Tingley, an art historian in her 40s from Woodacre, Calif., and a veteran of Berkeley politics in the '60s and '70s, joined her daughter Jessie Hock, 17, a Barnard freshman, at a Friday convocation. Hock felt "stupor and disbelief" at the attack, she says, "but I don't think declaring a war on terrorism or on any country that the government deems terrorist is the right answer. I don't have a perfect answer, but I don't think this is the right one." She and her daughter believe the country is emotionally vulnerable to politicking in the guise...
Down 35-14 at the half, the Big Green battled back, scoring 24 consecutive points. Dartmouth tied the game up at 35-35 after a 23-yard TD reception by Jay Barnard and two rushing scored by Michael Gratch. With 1:57 left in the game, Tyler Lavin knocked in his first career field goal from 25-yards out to give Dartmouth the lead...
DIED. CHRISTIAAN BARNARD, 78, brash, charismatic South African surgeon who performed the first human-to-human heart transplant in 1967; of an asthma attack; while vacationing in Cyprus. More dramatic than the surgery itself--Barnard called the technique "basic"--was that he proceeded when other heart-transplant surgeons, who had operated only on animals, were reluctant.

CHRISTIAAN BARNARD, 78, daring South African surgeon who became an international celebrity in 1967 after performing the world's first human heart transplant; in Cyprus. His patient died 18 days later, but Barnard's second transplant recipient survived for 19 months. His operations also pioneered the use of organs from brain-dead victims...
...When journalists learned of the first human heart transplant in 1967, the story turned out to be worthy of a Hollywood script. CHRIS BARNARD was young, confident, good-looking -- a surgeon-genius from the backwoods of South Africa. His innocence and disarming honesty only added to one of the most extraordinary medical breakthroughs of the 20th century. "What happens now?" we asked him after the operation. "I don't exactly know, it's never been done before," he replied. But real life isn't always like the movies. When I spoke with Barnard a month ago, he was a lonely...
