...eight lawyers in the case, two declare that the matter should not be argued in court at all. The hospital's attorney, Theodore Einhorn, says that the court ought to leave the patient to her doctors. So does Ralph Porzio, the lawyer for those doctors. "Miss Quinlan must be viewed as a patient undergoing treatment," says Porzio. Some outside doctors feel the same way. To allow the court to decide the Quinlan case, says Dr. David Posqanzer, a neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, "is taking the judgment of a doctor and putting it in the hands of those...
...second album, The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, that seems to go deepest. A sort of free-association autobiography, it comes closest to the wild fun-house refractions of Springsteen's imagination. In Wild Billy's Circus Song, when he sings, "He's gonna miss his fall, oh God save the human cannonball," Springsteen could be anticipating and describing his own current, perhaps perilous trajectory.

Miss Ross, however, is no Julie Christie. She may be more persuasive as the fictive Tracy than as the authentic Billie Holiday. But she remains an uneasy actress who pushes everything past endurance -including...
...SHOULD MISS the major point of the campaign Simon has started. It is designed to reduce taxes on the return from invested capital which, by definition, means trimming the obligations of those who hold capital, namely the relatively wealthy people. Simon is trying to sell the idea of a tax break for the rich, but his argument is that he is really doing it for all of us. The major purpose, he says, is to ensure jobs and goods in the future...
