...another battery of invasive tests. Tobin went on to found the FairCare program for peaceful dying in Albany, N.Y. His new book is Peaceful Dying: The Step-by-Step Guide to Preserving Your Dignity, Your Choice, and Your Inner Peace at the End of Life (Perseus), written with Karen Lindsey. In it, he writes, "The emotions of dying are intense, difficult and varied. But they are not necessarily terrible; indeed, sometimes they are incredibly beautiful, and even at times extremely happy. I always consider how our culture's overwhelming fear of death blots out that reality: we rarely achieve...
...admire their pluck. Last week four actors with combative reputations lent their thuggish personalities to the bully pulpit. Expressing his antipathy to impeachment, JACK NICHOLSON appeared at a Los Angeles rally with Barbra Streisand and Ted Danson, while ROBERT DENIRO lobbied Republican Congressmen Jim Ramstad of Minnesota and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina on behalf of the President. Meanwhile, in a Los Angeles courtroom, the voluminous MARLON BRANDO joined the volatile SEAN PENN to protest prosecutors' efforts to send former Black Panther Geronimo Pratt back to jail.

So this week and next their investigators want to depose in closed-door sessions Willey's attorney Daniel Gecker, Clinton's attorney Bob Bennett, Clinton confidant Bruce Lindsey and Democratic contributor Nathan Landow. But even as Hyde was pressing on, more rank-and-file House Republicans were declaring publicly that they would not vote for impeachment. And outside emissaries began calling around Capitol Hill, once again floating the idea of a bipartisan resolution of censure as an alternative...
...That brush with oblivion he blames in part on the fact that his position on the Judiciary Committee required him to second very publicly his party's pro-impeachment line. Two other G.O.P. members who could vote with the Democrats are Mary Bono of California and Lindsey Graham, a conservative South Carolinian who has said from the start he would not impeach the President for merely lying in the Paula Jones deposition. But even wavering Republicans may decide they don't really need to switch sides anyway. Since any articles of impeachment approved by their committee are so likely...
