...taking part in more than 130 suicides and beating four previous prosecutions for assisting in deaths, Dr. Jack Kevorkian was convicted for the first time on Friday. "This is a big victory for prosecutors who've been trying to put him away for years," says TIME Midwest correspondent Julie Grace. "But they are not the only ones who won't be saddened by this outcome." Indeed, count many right-to-die supporters in that group.

His Lydia moves with stoic grace through decades of caring for a sickly husband, guiding her children to successful adulthoods and straightening up other people's digs. That she had been a head-turning beauty and proud daughter of a mayor in pre-Castro Cuba would not occur to someone sitting opposite her on the subway. Yet as a character endowed with romantic yearnings, she is hard...
