Senate Debates Death and End of Life Provisions Amendment
Senator Eugene M. Hill recounts long Senate consideration of House amendments to a Criminal Code revision. Two controversial provisions define death and permit withdrawal of life support with guardian and patient family consultation, inspired by the Quinlin case.

Letter on County Zoning and At Issue Rights
Dear Editor, I attended the public zoning hearing and question proponents emotional stance on surrendering constitutional rights. I argue zoning rests on two false beliefs: officials are always wise and government will shield the little guy from big interests. Citing nuclear plant funding by Westinghouse and GE, I praise Iowa nuisance law No. 657 Code of Iowa as a remedy to prevent rights loss to zoning.
