...Barbara Lane, 53, and suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Haven House, a 20-bed residential hospice in North Atlanta, is living up to its name. ALS invariably kills, but the timing is hard to predict, which runs afoul of the hospice requirement that a patient certifiably have no more than six months to live. Coverage can be extended only if deterioration is continuous or if death is predictable within subsequent six-month periods. Doctors determined that they could not certify Lane, after she had spent a year in her original hospice, a third time, but Haven House executive director Metta...

We can take comfort in the assurance that if Gore wins in November, as the polls now predict, things will return to normal.

That's part of the interest of a presidential election--the uncertainty about what transformations, good or bad, may occur in the winning candidate when he becomes President. Perhaps no transformation at all will come to pass. Chester A. Arthur will remain Chester A. Arthur, and there is nothing you can do about it. But beware. Lewinsky or no Lewinsky, the American presidency still inspires some reverence--an awe that may work in complex ways. Voters may put an apparent doofus in the White...
