...myself so I've thought about it a lot, but it just seems wrong. Also, his significant other doesn't know about his plan. Am I right or is he? How can I convince him not to go through with this? Please, Norma, answer quickly--time is running out. Sleepless in Somerville...
Like many Harvard students, I have lost a loved one to cancer. My friend died bravely, with her passion for life undimmed. Her lover lent her his shoulder on moonlit "drags" around their hillside farm. He spent sleepless nights in a shared bed, massaging her into brief respites from excruciating pain.

Nora Ephron, director of Sleepless in Seattle, surmises that her audience is "grownups -- over 18s, anyway -- and more females than males. But when you get up to where we are, everybody is going to see it." Wolfgang Petersen, whose In the Line of Fire is in the same box-office stratosphere as Sleepless, has similar...
