Autopsy finds Creighton basketball star Heck died in sleep
An autopsy on 20 year old Creighton University guard Michael Heck showed his heart was about 50 percent larger than normal due to left ventricle thickening and rapid ballooning of heart chambers. Pathologists found no heart disease or Martan's syndrome and noted sudden death can occur without athletic link. Coroner Keenan said cold tablets found in his system were unrelated.

Kissinger defends Rockefeller testimony before House panel
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told the House Judiciary Committee he did not discuss 1969 wiretaps with Nelson Rockefeller. He said he cannot confirm the absence of a related aide conversation but recalls no such talk. The committee recommended Rockefeller's confirmation 26 to 12 as House prepares to vote. A minority report criticizes intertwining Rockefeller wealth with political power and gifts to officials.
