The broadcast also reports on a devastating 24-unit apartment fire at North Park caused by a smoking accident, which displaced dozens of residents. Medical news features prominently, detailing the body's attempt to reject a new heart in transplant patient Bob Fellows, the steady recovery of artificial heart recipient William Schrader, and the condition of Baby Fae following her baboon heart transplant. Additional segments include a student protest at Reitz High School over shortened lunch periods, the success of the locally-grown Arbor Hill House company, and national updates such as the passing of Reverend Martin Luther King Sr. and a satellite salvage mission by the Discovery astronauts.
