The nurse said Mrs. Adams was playing cards at her station the night Fraser died. Another nurse said Mrs. Adams looked at the monitor and said, “Why don’t you just die? You've suffered cnough.” Another nurse testified he followed Mrs. Adams into Fraser's room and saw her turn down the oxygen flow of the respirator. He testified that about 45 minutes later, he noticed the patient's heartbeat and breathing slowing.

Analyzing world economic prospects, Weinberg forecast a bleak economic decade, with ever- murkier prospects if in- creased Middle East strife cuts off oil supplies to the West. .
