Artificial heart implanted in 61 year old dentist in Utah
In Salt Lake City University of Utah surgeons replaced the dying heart of 61 year old Dr. Barney B. Clark with the Jarvik-7 artificial heart. The operation, led by Dr. William DeVries, left Clark connected to external air and tubes but showing blood pressure akin to an 18 year old. Doctors cautioned recovery would be difficult and uncertain.

County taxes may be cut amid budget dispute
County commissioner chairman Frank A. Vitril, presenting an 18.76 million dollar 1983 budget, hinted at up to a 5 mill tax cut via spending cuts, a claim he later denied. County controller Robert E. Foht advocated 1.5 mill cuts with up to 2 more mills possible without major changes. Foht noted a 2.2 million year end surplus for 1982 and proposed charges for electronic voting, buildings, and equipment, while salaries could be frozen except where contracts apply. Debts from the Government Center bonds may be retired early to save nearly 1.6 million. Budget hearings begin as 1983 demands rise and the plan heads toward adoption.
