The first three patients died in less than a month due to complications doctors now hope to prevent with cyclosporin A The chosen Mrs Gohlke came to Stanford with her mother, Bea Martin several weeks ago to undergo tests at the hospital. "She's gutsy, she's always been gutsy " her mother said. The three previous heart-lun- g operations were performed in 1968 and 1971. One patient survived only 14 hours and the other two eight days and 23 days.

Prosecutors say she was killed because she saw Drew kill another prostitute. Doreen Levesque, 17, who refused to work for him. The prosecution says Drew, Miss Murphy and another man yet to stand trial in the case took Miss Marsden to a wooded, swampy section of Westport, where her throat was slit and her body was mutilated and decapitated. Only a portion of her skull was ever found. Miss Murphy told the jury both victims' "souls were offered up to Satan" by Drew after they were killed. "He spoke in a tongue I didn't understand. His voice was low and scratchy. He took back the knife I used to slit Karen's throat, etched across on her The cleanup was needed to decontaminate the reactor damaged in the country's worst commercial nuclear accident, which began in the early hours of March 28, 1979. Decontamination already has involved the purging of 43,000 curies of radioactive krypton gas into the atmosphere last summer. The containment building still must be decontaminated and the reactor's damaged fuel core and thousands of gallons of radioactive water still must be removed. The study found that "existing methods are adequate" or can be adapted to do all the necessary work "without incurring environmental impacts that exceed acceptable limits." Although little cleanup work has been done so far, the study found that the decontamination process will take five to nine years from the time of the accident. The NRC staff also concluded that "TMI should not become a permanent radioactive waste disposal site," an option favored by some who fear removal of the highly radioactive fuel core and wastes will pose unacceptable risks to area residents. Calbert was reported in satisfactory condition today at Mercy Memorial Hospital with a bullet wound in his leg after being shot by his dog, Jarvis. "It's a tragedy, but it's a unique story," city police officer Joseph Lindsay said. He said Calbert was shot when Jarvis used his revolver single-actio- n teeth to pick up a from a table. The dog dropped the gun on the floor and it went off, striking his owner. Calbert, a heavy equipment operator, said he has been training Jarvis and another Dog, Ivan, for about three years to use guns to protect his family against intruders. "Even after this, Jarvis is my masterpiece, my pride and joy," said Calbert, who raised the Jarvis from a puppy. "It wasn't his fault. I still love him like a brother." Police said Calbert was training the dog to attack and disarm intruders. Lindsay said no charges would be filed in the incident.

"We were kneeling around the body," she said. Then she said Drew grabbed Miss Marsden's head and ripped it from her torso. After the killing, she said she went to a friend's house in Fall River. "I ate some chicken, drank a beer and smoked a joint," Miss Murphy said. She said she was present at Miss Levesque's October 1979 killing behind the Diman Regional School in Fall River and also saw Barbara Raposa, another prostitute, beaten to death in November 1979. v.
