Hepburn remains
hospitalized
Actress Katharine Hepburn will
remain for several days at
Hartford Hospital, where she is
recovering from a broken ankle
suffered in a car wreck.
Hepburn, 73, had surgery
Monday night. Spokesman James
Battaglio said "her condition is
good, but we expect her to remain
here for a few days."
Hepburn, on her way to New
York City in a rented car, was
driving in the snow late Monday
morning on Connecticut Route 154
in Old Saybrook and hit a utility
pole, police said.
Police said she didn't appear to
be speeding and apparently was
distracted while driving. No
charges were filed.
Also injured was Hepburn's
secretary, Phyllis Wilbourn, who
suffered a fractured left wrist.

Car repossession
astounds Collins
British actress Joan Collins was
arriving at a charity gala at Royal
Albert Hall when she was served a
writ for the return of a car she was
loaned 18 months ago.
"To issue the writ in public was
unforgivable," the star of TV's
"Dynasty" said yesterday. Queen
Elizabeth II attended the show and
"must have been embarrassed"
when she heard about the writ.
The writ was obtained by a car
dealer, Henlys of London, which
claimed a car loaned to the actress
to promote sales was never
returned. But Collins said she
thought the car had been returned
"Now it seems that the people
handling my affairs didn't give it
back. I only used it once and I
haven't a clue who has been
keeping it since."

Cadavers captivate California classroom
AGOURA, Calif. (AP) Human
cadavers are "the ultimate in study
aids" in an Agoura High School anat
omy class where human corpses are
dissected along with the remains of
cats and frogs.
And for students like Tom Carmi
chael, biology classes as a college
freshman are a breeze because he
was able to study the cadavers in high
school.
Many medical students don't get to
work on cadavers until their second
year of training. Tough prerequisites
help ensure that only serious students
enroll in his physiology and anatomy
class, Jerry Lasnik said. He puts a
group of juniors and seniors through
about six weeks of lectures, reading
and lab work before he introduces the
cadaver:.
Nobody is forced to work on the
cadaver to pass the course, and stu
dents who take the class out of mor
bid curiosity "will flunk out before
they get a peek," Lasnik said. But
students not taking the class are just
as curious.
"I realized that what I was holding
in my hands was the sum total of
emotions, experiences, suffering that

said. "I was thinking that this four
pounds of matter is essentially what
this man was."
"It was the ultimate in study aids,"
said Carmichael.
Lasnik has equipped his classroom
with, items donated by the commu
nity. But locating a cadaver was
something else.
"Everyone told me, 'For a high
school? Forget it!' " Lasnik said. But

The first time he uses the cadaver,
Lasnik generally wheels it our unex
pectedly in the middle of a lab.
"OK, gang, take a few minutes off.
We're going to bring out the cadav
er," Lasnik told students recently
when the time came for a presenta-.
tion.
There was silence as they gathered
about the black plastic body bag
wheeled into the classroom.
While Lasnik unzipped the body
bag and exposed the corpse, he told
the students a little about it including
age and cause of death.
Expressions on the students' faces
ranged from blank stares to distaste.
Lasnik fielded a few questions before
wheeling the body out of the class
room.
Then the students slowly returned
to work on the cats they had been
dissecting.
