We present the first high-spatial-resolution X-ray spectra of constituents of the 30 Doradus star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, obtained with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) aboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Our continuing efforts to remove the spectral effects of CCD charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) due to radiation damage are described. The central cluster of young high-mass stars, R136, is resolved at the arcsecond level by ACIS, allowing spectral analysis of several constituents. Other Wolf-Rayet stars and multiple systems (e.g. R139, R140) are also detected. Spatially-resolved spectra are presented for N157B, the plerion SNR recently shown by X-ray observations to contain a 16-msec pulsar (Marshall et al., ApJ 499, L179). The spectrally soft superbubble structures seen by ROSAT are visible in the Chandra image; a composite spectrum, improved with CTI correction, is presented. Support for this effort was provided by NASA contract NAS8-38252 to Gordon Garmire, the ACIS Principal Investigator.
