"It is a burden that cannot be sustained," Wozniak said. "We're going to burn out." He said overcoming the case load will be his major challenge. He plans to confront it two ways: Cases that do not set legal precedent will not be published in official legal journals. That means the judges will not be required to write detailed opinions, citing why and how they arrive at their decisions. The number of cases that are reversed by the Appeals Court must be reduced.

Rudy Perpich, who promoted Wozniak from judge of the Appeals Court to chief judge. Wozniak, 65, takes over a court that was created four years ago to lift a crushing appellate case load off the Supreme Court. Under Popovich's direction, the new court won high marks for its dedica- a stint with the U.S. State Department, but most of all there was the law. i always wanted to be a law- yer, ne saia.

The court now reverses about 31 percent of the trial-court cases it reviews. That is far too many, according to Minnesota Chief Justice Douglas Amdahl, and it adds to the work load. "If the rate of reversal is high, people have a greater tendency to appeal," Amdahl said. "It's almost malpractice on the part of an attorney not to appeal if he has a 50-50 chance to win on appeal. "Trial-court judges have a lot of discretion.

Unless they are abusing that discretion, they shouldn't be reversed," said Amdahl, the ultimate supervisor of the state's judicial system. Wozniak said he will try to persuade his colleagues to reverse fewer decisions. Amdahl said he is convinced that Wozniak will succeed. "He's got a lot of administrative experience, a lot of legal experience," the chief justice said. "He's been on the Appeals Court since Day One.

I think he's going to do an excellent job." Perpich, whom Wozniak supported in the 1982 DFL primary against Warren Spannaus, echoes that optimism. "He was brilliant and outstanding in the Legislature and he was a brilliant lawyer, and he will make an outstanding chief judge," Perpich said.

Doctors said that she has two holes between the major chambers of her heart, and that she has an unnatural flow of blood within the heart. The surgery is intended to correct those defects. The surgery was made possible by the Minneapolis-based International Heart Relief program, the Tanzanian Heart Foundation and a Tanzanian civic group called The Round Table, said Paula Mielke, a spokeswoman for Children's Hospital.

Three years ago, Dr. Blanton Bessinger of Minneapolis traveled to Tanzania to screen 183 candidates for operations. All were children with severe congenital or acquired heart defects. Based on Bessinger's recommendations, the Tanzanian Heart Foundation selected the children who have come to Minnesota. Mielke said five children were operated on this year at Metropolitan Medical Center in Minneapolis.

The International Heart Relief relocated the program to Children's because of the hospital's expertise in working with children. wanted to increase limits on various interest rates.
