[Keith Gottschalk]

Alas, with two heart attacks, I fear that the end  is not far off for
our 74 yr old space pioneer. - Keith.

>   The legendary cosmonaut, first man in open space, Aleksey Leonov on
his professional holiday was forced to call 911. 
>During Cosmonautics Day the 74-yr-old Aleksey [Arkhipovich] had a
heart problem. Recollections about the past so 
>agitated Leonov that his body, which recently endured an infarction,
did not hold up. The legendary pilot-cosmonaut, who 
>was being characterized by once excellent health, increasingly more
frequently has endured problems with his health. 
>Recently for Aleksey [Arkhipovich] it is frequently necessary to turn
to the doctors. In the past year Leonov suffered an 
>extensive myocardial infarction. In the Burdenko's hospital where they
brought Aleksey [Arkhipovicha], to him they made 
>a complex operation on the heart. The surgical intervention passed
successfully, but the disease again makes itself known.
