Marfan's syndrome is a potentially fatal disease that is still with us today. In our first segment， we'll meet a courage family coping with the disease and the molecular biologist in Portland， Oregon who helped discover the genetic defect responsible for the condition. And we'll go Minneapolis where a young boy was spina bifida will get a new pair of leg braces and the Atlanta area where a youngster is not letting the loss of a leg keep him from becoming a star baseball player.
