...American Medical Association declared that a physician should not participate in executions. Dr. Armond Start, who supervises health care for Oklahoma's 5,000 inmates and was originally designated to insert the needle, took the same stance. That set off an acrimonious debate, highlighted by suggestions that Start resign. Finally the state concluded that the injections could be administered by non-doctors...
These matters may not impress Judge Pratt. Four of the six U.S. Representatives stung by Abscam made similar appeals in his court and lost. Of the six, only one, Michael Myers of Philadelphia, has been expelled from the House. Two others resigned and three lost their seats in elections.

"I resign myself to being lousy on opening nights," she says. "It's not getting easier, but harder. You look out and see people with pads in their laps judging you." That the judgments are nearly always ecstatic does not really help. She seems uncomfortable with the fact she was praised so highly (she received an Obie award) for her rousing performance last...
