...funds to meet the standards may prove impossible for them. Some analysts warn that half the nation's 2,900 thrifts could eventually fail or be merged, voluntarily or involuntarily, adding billions to the $300 billion cost of the industry bailout. An early casualty: City Federal Savings Bank, New Jersey's largest thrift, was taken over by federal regulators on Friday, after recording huge losses from real estate ventures...

In 1983 a presidential medical- ethics commission endorsed the principle of family surrogate decision making, and so have many state courts since the 1976 landmark Karen Ann Quinlan case, in which the New Jersey Supreme Court permitted the Quinlan family to remove her from a respirator.
