HBO is running the Dr. Jack Kevorkian movie. This is going to generate some heat. I think it is pretty even handed.  
I have met him . I also had a friend whose Grandmother was offed by Dr. Jack.

Oh. _That_ Jack.

Hmm…

Not what I was expecting.  
I loved those games, though! 🙂

My friends and I wasted an entire year of college playing that game, hours every day and I think we only saw two or three repeats…that game was great.
