QUICK TAKES - March 20, 1996

Jazz drum great Billy Higgins received a successful liver transplant on Monday at the UCLA Medical Center and was listed in stable condition. “He’s just fine. The new liver started working immediately,” said Higgins’ wife, Gina, who requested no phone calls to Higgins at the hospital for the time being. . . . “My Guys,” a new series starring Michael Rispoli as a recent widower trying to run a fledgling limousine company while raising his two sons, will premiere on CBS on April 3 in the Wednesday, 8:30 p.m. time slot. The program replaces “The Louie Show,” which has finished its scheduled season run.
