Cornell, Sea World's zoological director. The unnamed calf was born Sunday.

Her mother, 12-year-old Kenau, spent about five hours in labor. The 27-year-old Shamu is the father, and the calf is his second daughter. "I think we feel somewhere between euphoria and outer space. This kind of thing is a once-in-a-lifetime event for anyone," Cornell said. "We're very, very proud to have these animals happy enough in our environment to reproduce successfully like this." The birth was the second at a Sea World park in the past three months.

"I've done more for plastic surgery than Carter has for pills." Calling it her "massive reconstruction project," the brash comic said, "I had my teeth straightened and a complete facelift in 1971.

In 1975, 1 had a breast reduction. In 1981, 1 had mini-lift of the face and a tummy tuck. And then in 1985, 1 had a forehead lift, cheek implants and a nose job The most recent thing I had was a chemical peel."

Bomb art 'terrifies': a piece miniature replica of the entire U.S. nuclear arsenal has "terrified and angered about 70 percent" of its viewers, the artist said as she set up the exhibit Tuesday at the Boston Museum of Science.

"This is not an anti-nuclear protest," said Barbara Donachy. "It's a factual display, so it's reached people that other protests have not." When the exhibit, titled "Amber Waves of Grain," is completely erected Friday, small ceramic submarines, B-52 bombers, missiles and warheads will cover the floor and hang from the ceiling of the museum's spacious two-story lower lobby. The off-white, rose and light brown clay models range in size from a 4-inch-tall bomb to a 4-foot-long Trident submarine.

The Jewish leaders had asked for up to 8 million marks in reparations. Looking for fUrOrS: Defense lawyers asked Wednesday that the murder trial in Livingston, Texas, of a former principal accused of killing a football coach over the affections of the school secretary be moved because of extensive publicity. State District Judge John Martin said he would consider the motion in the trial of Hurley Fontenot, 48, the former principal of Hull-Daisetta Woodson Junior High accused of killing Billy Mac Fleming, 38. Martin had acknowledged earlier that it might be difficult to find imparitial jurors in the tiny east Texas town, and but said he was surprised that almost all of the 24 potential jurors questioned Tuesday knew a lot about the case. Banning challenged: Black activist Winnie Mandela appeared in Supreme Court in Johannesburg Wednesday to challenge a government order banning her from her Soweto home.

Giving black-power salutes and smiling, she was mobbed by about 250 cheering blacks as she left at the end of the first day of the hearing where she is challenging the expulsion order. The hearing on her suit, the first time she has challenged the government in court through restrictions dating back 23 years, was to resume Thursday. Mrs. Mandela's lawyer, Sidney Kentridge, argued that the Dec. 21 order banning her from Johannesburg, its black township of Soweto and adjoining Roodepoort was invalid both because Law and Order Minister Louis Le Grange gave no reasons and because its execution was "inhuman." A six-member U.S.

congressional delegation met President P.W. Botha, and afterwards one member said he was "not encouraged at all" the white government would move toward abolishing apartheid. GAF drops bid: GAF Corp. Wednesday withdrew its hostile, $4.8 billion offer for the larger Union Carbide but said it would keep a 10 percent stake in the giant chemical company. The withdrawal does not preclude GAF from making a later bid or launching a proxy fight With its 10 percent stake, GAF likely would be Carbide's largestshareholder.

GAF said it was withdrawing its $74 a share offer if Union Carbide's own, current exchange offer is completed. Carbide, as a defensive maneuver against GAF, is swapping 55 percent of its common stock for $20 a share in cash and $65 in securities. GAF, a chemical maker based in Wayne, NJ, said it also withdrew 1833 million of the 6.728 million Carbide shares it had tendered to the exchange offer. Kodak offer: Eastman Kodak, ordered by a federal court to quit selling its instant cameras and film, said Wednesday it will allow consumers stuck with the cameras to trade them in for another camera, discounts or stock. "It is with deep regret and considerable disappointment that Kodak leaves the instant photographic business," said Colby H.

Chandler, Kodak's chairman and chief executive officer, Rochester, N.Y. The company said it would allow the owners to exchange each camera for one of three choices: Kodak's newest disc camera and two film cartridges, a coupon book with $50 worth of rebates on Kodak photographic products, or one share of Kodak stock, which closed Wednesday at $48,625 a share. Kodak also will accept unsold cameras and film from dealers and issue refunds to them. Reparations to Jews: A company in DensseWorf, West Germany, Wednesday said it had agreed to pay $2 million to Jews used as forced laborers during the Nazi regime. The announcement by Feldmuehle Nobel came one day after the nation's main opposition political party and the country's powerful labor federation called on Chancellor Helmut Kohl to intervene in the dispute.

The money will go to Jews forced to work for companies controlled by the giant Flick industrial concern, or their survivors. Feldmuehle Nobel was part of the Flick conglomerate. After the Still in its early stages, the Olduvai Pothole claims its first victim..
