With the case back in his hands, Franklin County Probate Court Judge Sanford Keedy concluded that the onetime avid outdoorsman would rather die than prolong a life devoted mostly to sleeping. The next day, Spring did not receive his regular dialysis treatment. His nurses were outraged. Two of them asked Spring if he wanted to die, and when he reportedly said no, they took the story to the Holyoke Transcript-Telegram. A Hartford, Conn., nurse and a Brookline, Mass., doctor, both affiliated with the right-to-life movement, then visited Spring and also emerged with a no to the same...
...superstar of the church. The professional philosopher read the diplomats of the U.N. a closely reasoned intellectual sermon on the importance of human rights and freedom?and offered in contrast the ghastly memory of Auschwitz in his homeland, where an emotional John Paul had prayed last June.

...into seven "houses," which are practically minicompanies, each concentrating on a particular price range and type of customer. But Bergerac must approve all major changes, and he is an exacting judge with an eye for detail. The model in the Jontue ads is pictured leading a white horse; to Outdoorsman Bergerac the first horse that subordinates showed him looked like a sway-backed plow dragger. The boss bought his admen a book on horses and insisted that they study it to pick a more imposing beast. They chose an Arabian stallion that is now pictured in almost every Jontue...
