...kennel of Trainer Bob Martwick in Lombard, Ill. When Morris II flies-first class, of course-to Humane Society adopt-a-pet campaigns around the country, his popularity often leads enthusiasts to empty local shelters of felines. The cause is a good one. Although in New York City cat euthanasia is down 26% at the A.S.P.C.A., the society still had to destroy 25,000 unwanted cats last year. Morris' laid-back presence is a reminder that spaying and neutering are the responsibilities of cat owners...
...next weeks will offer Ragtime, an adaptation of E.L. Doctorow's panoramic vision of turn-of-the-century America; Reds, Warren Beatty's life of Revolutionary John Reed; Absence of Malice, a serious examination of journalistic ethics; and Whose Life Is It Anyway?, which is about euthanasia. Even the new John Belushi-Dan Aykroyd feature is far from Animal House; it is an adaptation of Thomas Berger's Neighbors, a farcically structured but coruscating novel about friendship. As if to stress the point, such legendary figures as James Cagney and Fred Astaire (see boxes) will be back...
...London Times, in an editorial titled "Euthanasia for Eavesdroppers," urged British papers to refrain from publishing the transcripts even if Die Aktuelle did.

But they faced a more formidable restraint than principle: the High Court ruling against Regan applied to publications as well. Thus on Saturday morning, though the story commanded headlines, not one paper printed the magazine's excerpts. The Guardian came close, paraphrasing portions touching on Prune...
...separate Siamese twins, but has since become known as an evangelical Christian who crusades against abortion. Over the past two years, Koop, 64, has toured the country with a 17-hour multimedia presentation called "Whatever Happened to the Human Race?" It denounces abortion, the loss of family values, euthanasia and infanticide. Says he: "The first domino to fall was abortion on demand, and it has split the country as has no other issue since the practice of slavery...
...child Nelly, growing up in a pro-Nazi family, joins the Hitler Youth organization as a matter of course. Her religion class in school emphasizes racial purity, and the burning of the synagogue on her street evokes not pity but rather fear of alien beings. Neither does the euthanasia program provoke an outcry from the child or the parents, even when it claims the life of Nelly's feeble-minded Aunt Dottie. As Wolf makes clear, a child's morality is wholly dependent on that of the parents. A child cannot make moral judgements about the actions of her world...
