I ? 'Dallas' s LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Larry Hagman's damaged, cancerous liver was replaced Wednesday with a transplant during surgery that lasted 17 hours. Ron Wise, a spokesman for Cedars Sinai Medical Center, would not immediately disclose Hagman's condition. Hagman, 63, was expected to be hospitalized seven to 10 days, Wise said. There was no immediate comment from Hagman's publicist, Richard Grant. The marathon operation began around 10 p.m. Tuesday and continued overnight The surgery lasted five hours longer than originally predicted, but :j8n*ji*c2P: * f J llfcSjJ; i mm HR^ fj ' Wfjli ^35^ / fM Jmx W' jS?> < K2' V^f/i VJT ^ He V Hi No extra chai - ' ] Ag< tar gets n< Wise said only that eveiything was fine. Hagman, star of the old "Dallas" l v soap series, was diagnosed three years ago with cirrhosis of the liver, which he blamed on years of heavy drinking. He was placed on a national waiting list on July 19 after a malignant tumor was found on his liver. Earlier this month, he underwent a hospital procedure designed to give him more time until a donor liver could be located. Physicians shortrdrcuited the artery that feeds blood to the tumor, hoping to starve the cancerous growth. ^ dT g*M fyrv tt m jli L ? m urcut $ Service includes conditioning ri rge for long hair.

(AP) - The swimsuit competition should remain in the Miss America Pageant because it is a tradition as well as an incentive to stay in shape, the vast majority of this year's contestants say. Forty-two of the 50 contestants polled by the pageant said it is appropriate to judge candidates based on how they look in a swimsuit. The media can make you feel a lot more naked than a swimsuit," said Miss Oregon, Emily Orton. "So if you can't be comfortable competing in this aspect of the program, you won't feel comfortable being Miss America." "I feel neither exposed nor exploited by the swimsuit competition," said Miss Massachusetts Marcia Turner. "Knowing that I will have to compete in swimW lj MlMIBWij Winner of the IS So ^I R Wednesda C E R S ' T R wk I^,. mm teens say ] suit has encouraged me to undergo intense physical training, which has greatly increased my stamina." "It's been a tradition for 75 years and the system has evolved soifs a fun production number, not sleazv." said Miss Iowa, Jennifer Curry, who called it "a stress relieved for her. Seven contestants favored eliminating the competition, calling it a misguided method of measuring physical fitness, a "veiled strip show" and a stain on Miss America's image. Miss New York, Helen Goldsby, abstained from the poll, saying she was comfortable with or without the swimsuits.
