WHO:    Anderson Morris, M.D., F.A.C.C., medical director of
        HEALTHSOUTH Heart College.

WHAT:   Dr. Morris is available to provide important information about
        the early diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, the
        probable cause of death of baseball star Darryl Kile and the
        No. 1 cause of death in the United States among both men and
        women.

WHY:    --  Almost half of all patients suffering heart attacks have
            had "normal" results when tested with a routine
            cholesterol test, and many exhibit no symptoms.

        --  Nearly 101 million Americans have elevated cholesterol
            levels and could benefit from some form of treatment. Yet,
            according to the American Heart Association, only one in
            five is taking cholesterol-lowering medications or
            receiving other needed therapy.

        --  A new, expanded cholesterol test identifies twice the
            number of people at risk for heart disease and uncovers
            hidden risk factors not detected with routine tests,
            including hereditary factors that can lead to premature
            heart attacks. Dr. Morris is a pioneer in the use of this
            new technology and has incorporated it in his innovative
            HEALTHSOUTH Heart College.

HOW:    Please call Barbara Sullivan at 714/374-6174 for more
        information or to schedule an interview.

        health. The Heart College specializes in "lifestyle
        rehabilitation" through risk factor recognition and change.
