Colen is the Post's medical ethics expert and has written extensively on euthanasia and surgery. He "broke" the Karen Ann Quinlan story with a series of articles for which he received a Pulitzer Prize nomination. Since then, Karen Ann Quinlan's name has become famous, the result of some responsible reporting and a lot of sensationalism. But in Colen's book, Karen Ann Quinlan: Dying in the Age of Eternal Life, he doesn't waste time delving into Karen Quinlan's past or describing her present physical condition in gory detail.

...Many experts gave both candidates low marks. Said Soviet Expert Adam Ulam of Harvard: "Neither one had any feeling for the terribly complex problems we have in dealing with Russia and the Communist countries.

Its engines burn with less soot than American planes and produce 27,000 lbs. of thrust rather than the 24,500 lbs. that U.S. experts had estimated...
...cigarettes are sold at cut rates-often 350 a pack below normal retail prices-by underworld operatives in bars, offices, factories, beauty parlors and apartment buildings. Others are marked with counterfeit tax stamps and distributed to ostensibly legitimate retail dealers. The counterfeiting, say state authorities, is often so expert that it can be detected only by laboratory tests...
