...Terri Schiavo died last March 31 after her husband Michael, over the anguished protests of her parents and siblings, won the right to remove her feeding tube. The bitter battle--which played out on TV and drew in Congress, the President, even the Pope--is set to resume in bookstores this week as both Michael Schiavo and Terri's family release competing memoirs ahead of the first anniversary of her death...
