DIED. Teddy DeVita, 17, whose struggle to conquer a rare bone marrow disease in an 8-ft. by 9-ft., germ-free isolation room at the National Cancer Institute won him wide attention as the courageous "boy in the glass cage"; of complications from repeated blood transfusions; in Bethesda, Md. Teddy was nine when he developed aplastic anemia, which destroys the body's ability to fight off any infection. His life in his sterile sanctuary, portrayed by John Travolta in a 1976 TV film, was poignant: he sometimes threatened to walk out to virtually certain death, but mostly he tried to live normally: he liked Shakespeare, played the electric guitar and became a sci-fi buff; at a Star Trek convention, which he attended clad in an astronaut-type pressure suit, he was delighted to be mistaken for just another imaginatively attired Trekkie.

DIED. Julian Parks Boyd, 76, former Princeton historian who headed one of the most monumental publishing ventures ever undertaken: collecting and editing the complete papers of Thomas Jefferson; of cancer; in Princeton, N.J. Boyd was the university's librarian in the 1940s when he launched the prodigious project, which may run to 60 volumes (19 have appeared so far) and which for almost four decades kept him happily immersed in more than 60,000 items of Jeffersoniana.

DIED. Sheik Mohammed Ali Ja'abari, 80, mayor of the West Bank town of Hebron (pop. 60,000) for 36 years and a power in Palestinian Arab politics under successive British, Jordanian and Israeli administrations; after a long illness; in Hebron. Ja'abari was one of the few important West Bankers willing to deal with the Israelis after the 1967 occupation, but his inability to prevent the Israelis from establishing settlements near Hebron weakened his rule and he resigned in 1976.
