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

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.

The donor liver was found Tuesday
night, after little more than a month
on the list. The average waiting time
for a transplanted liver is just over four
months, but it varies depending on
blood type and other factors.
The donor was not identified.
Hagman is best known as the loathsome
J.R. Ewing on "Dallas," which
aired on CBS from April 1978 to May
1991. He first gained TV fame as astronaut
Capt. Tony Nelson on the 196570
NBC comedy "I Dream of Jeannie."

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (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

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.
The pageant, which started in 1921
as a bathing suit contest, will offer viewers
