...last set of jurists one would expect to emulate that bravura act is the current, cautious Rehnquist panel. Yet last fall, with apparent gusto, it took on an explosive moral and ethical issue that energizes many of the same parties as abortion--and which has yet to be completely hashed out by elected officials. This Wednesday the court will hear arguments on two right-to-die cases, Vacco v. Quill and Washington v. Glucksberg. If they wish to, the Justices can take the opportunity, as suggested by assisted-suicide proponent Timothy Quill, to "establish landmarks" for tackling the controversy...
...expect her well-reviewed turn as Hamlet's mom to herald a full-scale return to film for the still winsome 56-year-old. "I'm not really a suitable person to be an actress," she insists. "I can't bear attention. But I've no qualifications to be anything else." Christie says she's innumerate, has spatial dyslexia and memory problems, so careers she'd prefer, like biology, are out of the question...

It is for the sake of this quirky individuality, for this independent soul...
...taxpayers are the ones who have to finance ill-advised and heedless policy decisions, and then pay more to clean up after weather-related disasters. Clarence Madhosingh London Labor Pains "Will Europe Ever Work?," on Europeans' shifting attitudes to labor and unemployment [Oct. 3], suggested that workers can expect to work harder and longer for no additional pay. But what would employees get without extra money? Food at the supermarket? Gas at the pumps? Part of their mortgage? When corporations are in trouble, top management should be held responsible, including highly paid executives. A salary cut would surely not hurt...
...accident waiting to happen," Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said Monday. That's not the sound of a central banker about to start sitting on his thumbs. The Fed has been raising short-term rates for a couple years-from a fed funds rate of 1% to 3.75%. Economists expect him to keep boosting the benchmark rate to about 4.5% next year...
