Across the country, physicians upset by the story criticized the unnamed resident's action. "Euthanasia is practiced," says Washington Internist Jon Wiseman. "But usually it's done in a more passive kind of way, by withholding treatment -- not by putting someone to sleep like a dog." Do doctors commonly make that kind of decision alone? "No one talks about that kind of stuff," he says. Manhattan Internist Eric Cassell, who prefers not to pass moral judgment on mercy killing, believes that if it does occur, it should be only because the "circumstances are impossible to change or bear -- not merely...

Contemporary references are surprisingly few and unrevealing. If he wrote any letters, none survive. And he stares out enigmatically in only a handful of self-portraits, done in middle...
...hard," he says. "I accept it because if we don't beat them, we will have to shoot them. But I myself can't beat them. For the first time in my life I give an order, and then I turn my back so I won't see it done." What the army is doing in the territories, says the officer, a fighter in the unaccustomed role of occupier, "is against everything I believe in." That is a dilemma the entire nation must face...
