...released, now-being-edited "Natural Born Killers," also directed and written by Oliver Stone. The film is a satire about "a young pair of serial killers struggling to get a start in life." Later projects include starring in the film adaptation of the John Grisham bestseller The Client and directing the movie version of Elmer Kelton's novel The Good Old Boys, a turn of the century tale set in West Texas. Jones seems very enthused about having also won the movie role of baseball legend Tyrus Raymond Cobb. Ironically, with so much ahead of him, Jones claims...

The legislation was overturned once in a county court earlier this year. But the state challenged the decision, and the Michigan Court of Appeals agreed to review it, meanwhile reinstating the law until a ruling comes, probably early next year. The waiting period will sternly test Kevorkian's resolve...
