...into the record might not have done the trick, and screams of pain could have been counterproductive. But the sight and sound of two Americans requesting autonomy proved just the thing, and Dr. Death walked once again. As Fieger put it two weekends ago in the court of Andy Rooney (where maybe all future trials should be held), "Government has no business telling you when you have to"--and here the transcript indicates a slight pause, as if the speaker were choosing among possibilities. Has the government the right to tell anyone anything these days?--"telling you how much...
...indeed. But should anyone have this awesome right? And if so, who? Dr. Kevorkian seems surprisingly vague on this point. The people who decide to end pain and life with one stroke should "be specified," he told Rooney, "I don't care by who."

Local news directors, meanwhile, praise Fox for its work on such stories...
...SKEET ULRICH will become the hot male stars of next year or so. Either that or these are the ones with the best publicists. And in case tomorrow's men aren't as interesting to you as yesterday's boys, photographer Herb Ritts gives JACKIE COOPER and MICKEY ROONEY the old second-childhood makeover. "That photo should have been the cover," says Rooney, who at 75 is working and eager for more. "When you're working, you're a child." Well, anyone can see that...
