A word or two about Terri Schiavo
Several things should be made clear in the case of Terri Schiavo, the poor woman who's been in a vegetative state for 15 years and is now having her feeding tube removed at the behest of her husband and against the wishes of her parents.

Humpty Dumpty had a big fall. The following nonsense appeared in the Summer 2003 issue of Portland Magazine, a University of Portland publication: MILITARY MORALS The Spring issue's editorial, about the late Army Sgt. Keith Robbins and his granddaughter, Air Force cadet Tiffany Anderson...
