Politics is the one area in which Fonda has been a philosophical rock, but although she was briefly drawn into the 2004 election when a doctored photo of her with John Kerry at a supposed Vietnam War protest circulated on the Internet, she knows she's still too politically hot to support any candidate publicly. (She "hopes for a Hillary Clinton presidency," but a decade of red-state living makes her doubt its likelihood.)

He invites his sometime lover Kathleen (Catherine Keener) and her two teenage sons to come live with them. The place was never quite Utopia, but it will soon become hell...
Patients such as Steve Mason don't view it that way. A retired Army captain who served in Vietnam and has published three books of poetry, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer last April. Eventually, his longtime internist agreed to write his Nembutal prescription, but only after Mason cleared all the law's hurdles: submitting oral and written requests in the presence of two witnesses, waiting a mandatory 15 days and getting the concurrence of a second doctor that he had less than six months to live.
