Terry Schiavo body was cremated. Why would an autopsy have been
needed, anyway?

Falwell and the pope both generated controversy and opposition, as well
as loyal support from their followers, during their careers. It will
be interesting to see whether obituary writers and media coverage treat
them similarly. I've always found the notion that only good should be
spoken of the dead a cowardly cop-out when applied to controversial
people. -aem
