PONTIAC, Mich.: It looks as if Sunday's "60 Minutes" broadcast was a double suicide after all. After going to the videotape, Oakland County prosecutor David Gorcyca announced Wednesday that he is charging Dr. Jack Kevorkian with first-degree premeditated murder (as well as criminal assistance to a suicide and delivery of a controlled substance) for his role in the death of Thomas Youk.

"Either they go," he said, "or I go." Kevorkian has been tried and acquitted three times on assisted suicide charges; his lawyer says he now wants to force a "high noon" confrontation with the police. If convicted, the self-styled Dr. Death says he will starve...
