His hu- mor was a big hit, and his mov- ie set box oflice records. Wed- ding bells were heard in The Muppets Take Manhatten, when Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy finally tied the knot.

Baby Fae was the Hrst infant to receive a transplanted heart from an ani- mal. Baby Fae lived over 25 days, she drank formula, and listened to her Mother's voice. Ultimate- ly, Baby Fae succumbed to her failing and frail condition, but science learned a great deal from her courage. William Schroeder, 52, was the second man to have an artiHcial heart transplanted into his chest.

Dr. William C. De Vries implant- ed a third Jarvick-7 artiHcial heart in Murray P. Haydon two months after Schroeder's.
