DON’T BE ALL SMUG AND STUFF
Terry Schiavo for Intellectuals

I know you think you know everything there is, or that you need, to know about Terry Schiavo, but whether you’re on the left or the right, and since you’re reading this you’re probably one of those smug, “the right wingers and, worse, those crazy, creepy, ignorant Catholics, just went nuts about Schiavo” types, hold your tongue, particularly when it comes to speaking with me about the subject, unless and until you’ve read “The Case of Terry Schiavo,” by Joan Didion, the, for so many, incredibly inconvenient analysis of the case published in the June 9 issue of the New York Review of Books.
