Bill Smith dies at 78; he was Mankato radio personality Obituaries Also noted Keith Fuller, 79, president of the Associated Press for almost 10 years, died Friday at his home in Chevy Chase, Md. He had disease.

Fuller guided the largest newsgath- ering organization into an age of stories and pictures transmitted by satellite instead of telephone and teletype. Under his leadership, AP added more overseas bureaus, expanded the range of live broadcast news and took the first steps toward diversifying its sources of income. When he took the helm in 1976, AP served newspapers with just over 70 percent of the daily circulation. By the time he retired, the AP had reached 90 percent. After his retirement, he served for 10 years on the board of directors of Gannett.

He was succeeded at the AP by Louis D. Boccardi.

He had disease. He was dean of Medill School of Journalism from 1957 to 1984 and advocated for journalism students to work in professional news organizations as part of their course work.

Cole began a program in 1958 for graduate students to work for the City News Bureau in Chicago; he later established the bureau in Washington, where students cover the capital for newspapers. ideas remain at the core of the Medill program said Roger Boye, assistant dean at Medill. Herman Cohen, 76, a Hollywood producer and writer most famous for launching the teen horror sub-genre with the cult classic Was a Teenage died June 2 of throat cancer. The 1957 film, which starred an unknown actor named Michael Landon, was about a troubled teenager who undergoes hypnotherapy to cure him of his bad temper. Instead, an evil doctor gives him an experimental serum that transforms him into a bloodthirsty werewolf.

Arthur Schoenberg, 81, who in 1986 became the oldest person in the nation to receive a heart transplant, died May 17. He had fought kidney failure, cancer and a stroke. Schoenberg was 66 when, in 1986, he received the heart of a 23-year-old man who had died in a motorcycle crash. At the time, the recommended cutoff point for transplants was 55, and Schoenberg had been turned down once for a donor heart. But as his condition worsened, a screening committee at the University of California, Los Angeles, Heart Transplant Program reconsidered his case.

Barbara Preiskel, 77, a lawyer who fought to break down racial barriers in entertainment law, died Tuesday of leukemia. In 1947, Preiskel became the second black woman to graduate from Yale Law School. From 1959 to 1983, she was a lawyer and executive with the Motion Picture Association of America, where she aided in a legal battle over state and local censorship laws, many of which tried to censor depictions of interracial relationships. Preiskel served on numerous corporate and charity boards, most recently the Sept. 11 Fund, and a trustee of Yale, Wellesley and Tougaloo College in Mississippi.
