"The most disturbing feature about the Terri Schiavo case is the intrusion of political forces into the process of family decision making at the most vulnerable of times in the life of a family and person."
--Richard Payne, director of the Institute on Care at the End of Life at the Divinity School, in The Seattle Times
"Every constitution written since the end of World War II includes a provision that men and women are citizens of equal stature. Ours does not. I have three granddaughters. I'd like them to be able to take out their Constitution and say, 'Here is a basic premise of our system, that men and women are persons of equal citizenship stature.' "
--U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, on the importance of an equal rights amendment, speaking at the law school

--Gore Vidal, on his new Civil War drama On the March to the Sea, performed in Reynolds Theater in late February, in The Chronicle |
