...passed over the face of a highly distinguished curator of one of the greatest collections of arms and armor in the world when I casually remarked to him that a common type of debris removed from the flesh of wounded men by surgeons in the gunpowder age was broken bone and teeth from neighbors in the ranks. He had simply never considered what was the effect of the weapons about which he knew so much, as artifacts, on the bodies of the soldiers who used them...

...suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease. Kevorkian was free on a personal bond as long as he did not help with any more such deaths -- a provision he may have violated in September when he attended the suicide of a 73-year-old man suffering from bone cancer. Last month a woman with Lou Gehrig's disease died in Kevorkian's apartment in a suburb of Detroit...
