"[2] In the words of the Post's Jimmie Woods, "The reader is left to decide if this was a prosecution or -- as the defense insisted -- a persecution."

"[3] Publishers Weekly called Death Without Dignity an "exposition of a major social problem inadequately funded by Social Security" where the author "credits a Galveston assistant district attorney for uncovering patient abuses, described here in harrowing detail, and doggedly pursuing the case despite political pressure from the powerful nursing home lobby and his own superiors.
