injected nearly two ounces of bone marrow from his 15-year-old sister, Katherine. The marrow was intended to migrate to his bones to fight disease.
THEY HAD DELAYED the operation for years because there was no matching donor. They performed it after a new technique developed for cleansing unmatched marrow.
Doctors said at the time that his removal from the sterile bubble environment was final and that he could never go back, but they initially expressed optimism he would recover.
However, David developed vomiting, fever and diarrhea attributed to graft vs. host disease, common in bone marrow transplant cases. In graft vs. host disease, a reverse immune reaction occurs in which the marrow cells reject and attack the host body.
He also developed a stomach ulcer and other intestinal bleeding. He was receiving blood transfusions, steroids for inflammation and other drugs aimed at controlling his symptoms.
FLUID ACCUMULATED in his lungs and around his heart, which experts said sometimes accompanied both graft vs, host disease and heart, failure.
David's chief physician, Dr. William T. Shearer, said he would not know if David had an infection — or the exact causes of death — until an autopsy could be performed.
Griffin said the hospital staff was hit hard by the death.
"He grew up here," she said. "We are very sad."
DAVID WAS BORN Sept. 21, 1971, into sterile isolation prepared by doctors. Until Feb. 7, David lived his life in a series of bubbles which grew with him — from crib-sized to three-compartment modules at home and at Texas Children's Hospital.
HOUSTON — David, the 12-year-old immune deficiency victim, died yesterday at Texas Children's Hospital. He was the oldest surviving victim of the congenital disease.

BUT AT LEAST half of the 21 questions dealt with the deteriorating situation in Lebanon, into which Reagan sent U.S. Marines in September 1982 as part of a multinational peacekeeping force. The Marines numbered 1,600 at their peak strength, and Reagan moved from their shipred Beirut harbor base to 6th Fleet ships in the Mediterranean.
trous," as Reagan once told reporters such an event would be, the president replied, "I don't think so. The people over there who make those decisions, they're not going to say that we cut and run. That naval task force is going to stay where it is."
Since their arrival, 26 Marines have been killed, including 241 in a terrorist bombing Oct. 23, and congressional critics have called for them to be brought home.

The federal government has been without a death penalty, except for aircraft hijacking clause, since the Supreme Court struck down capital punishment laws in 1972.
SINCE THEN, 28 states have passed new capital punishment laws in keeping with the high court's requirements. Congress, however, has failed to revise the federal criminal code to provide a constitutionally sound method for imposing the death sentence.
HOUSE JUDICIARY subcommittees have not been receptive to capital punishment bills. Death penalty hearings were held by the House in 1978 and 1982, but legislation died either from inaction or rejection at the subcommittee level.
injuries. Although bills to revise and reinstate the death penalty have been submitted to Congress annually, the last time any such measures passed a house was on March 13, 1974, when the
Senate voted 54-33 for capital punishment. That bill died when the House failed to act on it.
The Senate's action on the death penalty comes on the heels of its passage of other major crime reforms, including provisions making insanity pleas more difficult and judges green the leeway to deny bail and evidence in court.
John Shattuck, national legislative director for the American Civil Liberties Union, called the bill unconstitutional and predicted that it would be defeated in the House.
