...physicians say, but rarely do the factions become so unmovable and determined to prevail as did Schiavo's husband and parents. Instead, one side usually gives in. Will the Schiavo case change that? Though Schiavo's parents were able to go to great lengths in challenging their son-in-law's decision to let Terri die, legal experts aren't convinced this will lead to many more courtroom disputes. Rather, they expect more Americans will now make their end-of-life wishes more explicit, and evidence of that is already emerging...
...biggest steelmaker, accounting for 20% of output, and one of the country's most valuable companies. Last year, it became a powerful symbol of the nation's crony capitalism.

...Hurwitz cast a brilliant group of character actors, such as Tambor (sidekick Hank Kingsley on HBO's Larry Sanders Show), David Cross (of HBO's Mr. Show) as George's fey doctor-turned-actor son-in-law Tobias Fünke and Will Arnett, who steals his every scene as rebellious son Gob (pronounced like the biblical Job), a preening, self-absorbed magician. The most traditional sitcom actor is Bateman (Silver Spoons), whom Hurwitz was reluctant to cast for precisely that reason. "But he came in and gave this dry, confident performance," Hurwitz says.
