Hi AC, Pardon me for jumping in here, but a couple of your statements seemed to me to be in need of some comment. First: Suicide is not a rational act. Spoken like a very young person. Now, imagine yourself to be unable to read because of macular degeneration, unable to control your bowels, barely able to walk, generally suffering from chronic pain and having no hope of ever recovering the ability to enjoy life's pleasures. This is the story of Admiral Chester Nimitz, the son of the famous WW II naval hero. He and his wife, aged 89 and 86 exited this life within the past month in a joint suicide pact. They had wonderful fulfilling lives, but their bodies had finally degenerated to the extent that there no longer was any joy to their existence. Was suicide rational? I believe it was. Re: The apparent suicide of Cliff Baxter - We may be taking a page out of the playbook of the last Administration. You might recall the apparent suicide of Vince Foster, someone who knew too much about the Whitewater affair for the comfort of some involved parties. I found the Sugarland police's handling of the autopsy matters to be extraordinarily lax, in view of the circumstances surrounding Mr. Baxter's demise. Very unprofessional. Just like in Dallas, 1963. chron.com -Ray
