What started as a family squabble has turned intoa federal government debacle, and has some people wondering just where the authority of a woman in a persistent vegetative state lies. Does it lie in the hands of her husband? Her par- ents? The Congress? The President? We here at The George-Anne believe that this decision lies solely in the hands of Terri's husband. She's not a 12-year-old girl, she's a married woman, and her husband is the next of kin. If anyone has a decision to make for her, it's him. And if anyone lacks all authority, it's the bobble heads in Washington. They are absolutely out of line intheirattempts to save Terri, as this is a family issue. Their involvement is laughable. As the leaders on Capitol Hill often brag on their attempts to get the government out of the lives of the people,' TfeExavu'rw©2o& they've reneged - big time. Let's face it.

March 11 Adrian Peterson shares his thoughts and GSU Baseball 4 experiences of GSU and the NFL Davidson 3 G-A: Has the NFL experience been the way you thought it would? A.P.: Oh yeah, its crazy up there. You got defensive ends running 4.4 s and 4.3's March 12 in the forty. Its exciting because you know, you never know what to expect. GSU Women's Tennis 6 G-A: Did you know anyone in the NFL when you first got there or were you Appalachian St. 1 like a fish out-of-water? • A.P.: I knew a couple guys up there. Alex Brown from Hamilton County... I played against him in high school. March 12 G-A: What high school did you play at? GSU Baseball 17 A.P.: Santa Fe High School in Florida. Davidson 8 G-A: If you had to pick just one, what was yout favorite moment at GSU? A.P.: All of them! I had so many. My freshman year we went 14-1 and lost March 13 in the Championship game, my sophomore year we went 13-2 and won the Championship game, my junior year we went 13-3 and won it all again, and GSU Women's Tennis 3 my senior year I think we went 13-2. EastTennesseeSt.4 G-A: You broke a lot of school records and made a lot of accomplishments, what was the most memorable one? March 13 A.P.: I'd say the 100-yard streak, because it showed a great team effort because GSU Baseball 21 if the offensive line didn't block, I wouldn't get 100 yards and if the receivers and everybody didn't block I probably wouldn't have some of those long runs. Davidson 10 G-A: Do you keep up with the Eagles in Chi-Town? A.P.: Oh yeah, I always keep up, even if the game isn't on TV. I'll still listen to it March 14 on the radio from the GSU website. Unless I'm at a team meeting, I'll listen. GSU Men's Tennis 0 G-A: How does it feel to be the only other player to have his number retired UC Irvine 7 besides Tracy Ham? A.P.: It's a tremendous honor. I don't know if many people know this but me March 15 and Tracy came from the same high school. G-A: What's one word that comes to mind when you think about GSU Chase Lanier/STAFF GSU Baseball 9 football?

Martha Stewart's legal woes ByJakeCoyle Associated Press NEW YORK - Martha Stewart will be coming into your living room in a new CBS movie, based on the last six years of her life. Stewart was convicted in March" 2004 of lying to the government about why she sold nearly 4,000 shares of ImClone Systems Inc. stock the day before a negative government ruling about an ImClone cancer drug. She was released from a federal women's prison in Alderson, WVa., on March 4, after serving a five-month sentence. The 63-year-old celebrity homemaker is now serving the second half of her sentence at her Westchester County estate. Shooting will begin March 28 in Toronto, executive producer Tom Patricia told The Associated Press Thursday. "The story begins the day her company (Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia) goes public and it ends the day she's released from prison," Patricia told the AP. Cybill Shepherd starred in NBC's 2003 film, "Martha, Inc.: The Story of Martha Stewart." Though the Los Angles Times has reported that Shepherd also may play the role for CBS, Patricia said casting hasn't been completed.
