They're all pretty white women. Soap-opera women (``our audience'') relate to them.
First came Karen Ann Quinlan. Then there was Nancy Cruzan. Now there's Terri Schiavo.
Each time, a young woman was left in a horrible limbo between life and death following a personal disaster: the fateful mixing of alcohol and a tranquilizer; a car accident; a collapse at home and heart failure, possibly from an eating disorder.
``I must give him his due. He has considerably cretinized me.'' Lautréamont
