...eyes of abortion-rights activists, the killing of Dr. David Gunn is simply the culmination of years of violence, vandalism and harassment against clinics all around the country. Far from denouncing his murder as the work of a lone extremist, some of the more militant antiabortion groups warned that more violence was likely to follow. "What do you expect when the government and the President do all they can to crush peaceful, nonviolent protests?" asks the Rev. Joseph Foreman of Missionaries to the Preborn, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. "We will not be outraged over the one death...
...life organizations were divided last week about how to respond to Gunn's killing. Even groups that have supported clinic blockades issued unequivocal condemnations. "To shoot and kill a human being in the name of saving human life is grotesque," said the Rev. Richard D. Land, who heads the Christian Life Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention.

The show, set in a kooky hospital, has no pretensions to realism, or even to common sense, and the jokes seem a quaint throwback to an earlier comedy era ("You can call me a doubting Thomas -- or you can call me Marlo Thomas . . ."). What makes it work is the zingy performances by Christine Ebersole...
...Other seniors profiles here made politics a central focus of their Harvard years, notably Adam R. Cohen, Cara W. Robertson and Jonathan D. Springer. Athletes Peck and Richard C. Knight are represented, as are academic overachievers (if such a term has meaning at Harvard) Cohen, Robertson and Heather B. Gunn...
