...HOSPITALS ACROSS THE U.S., DOCTORS ignore, or are unaware of, the last wishes of dying patients, needlessly prolonging their pain and suffering. That is the disturbing conclusion of a massive study published last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "There is a tragic mismatch between the health care many seriously ill people want and what they get," says the University of Virginia's Dr. William Knaus, co-director of the study.

...young father with an adoring wife, a precious three-year-old daughter and so much to live for, his death would have seemed unfathomable. But because Sergei Grinkov was Prince Charming on and off the ice, his fatal heart attack at the age of 28 last week is agonizingly tragic, not just for the millions who have watched him and his wife Ekaterina Gordeeva perform but especially for the close-knit skating community that had come to believe in the fairy tale of G and G.

There's something a little too easy in this conceit, although there's good black comedy in it too--especially in the notion that it is the tragic flaw of hubris that eventually robs Sam and Nicky of their place in paradise. The former, apparently unaware of Bugsy Siegel's fate, aspires to celebrity-mobster status; the latter ratchets up his murder rate to crime-spree levels; both fatally attract the attention of the law and their own godfathers...
