Abernathy to undergo preventive brain surgery at Johns Hopkins
Civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy will have preventive surgery next Wednesday at Johns Hopkins Hospital after X rays showed 90 percent blockage of his middle cerebral artery. The SCLC leader, admitted for tests, aims to avoid future strokes while George Jones marries Nancy Sepulveda near Woodville Texas and plans a country music park. The report also notes Adm. Hyman Rickover to have a warship named for him and a $75 million copyright suit against Michael Crichton and MGM over the film Coma.

Charles Rangel's amendment to remove a 1.5 percent rate-savings requirement helps hospitals under New York's prospective reimbursement.
