Legal procedures and courtrooms have changed little, but there have been almost as many changes in the application of law to medicine over the past 200 years as there have been changes in the practice of medicine. This article discusses the evolution of health law since 1812. Medical care in 2012 is unrecognizable as compared with what it was in 1812, and no 19th-century physician would be at home in a modern hospital. A 19th-century lawyer, however, would be completely at home in a contemporary courtroom, as would a present-day lawyer transported back to the early 19th century. Although slavery was still legal and women did not yet have the right to vote, the U.S. Supreme Court was the highest court in the land and the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights would be familiar, as would the jury and the common law system adopted from . . .

Since 1975, his work has been shown at, among other places, the OK Harris Gallery in Manhattan, the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Handschin Gallery in Basel, Switzerland.

She doesn't believe her mother even saw Grease -- the 1978 global smash-hit in which she played bad-girl uber-vamp Rizzo who corrupts virgin-queen Sandra Dee played by Olivia Newton-John. \"Hearing about it [Grease] was enough to make her take to her bed, and she all but stayed there for the rest of her life,\" until she died at the age of 93. She laughs that she is not entirely exaggerating when she says this is how her mother was. \"When I had got my fourth or fifth Emmy nomination, I went to her and I said: 'I've good news. I've got a nomination.' She said to me, 'Always a bridesmaid.'\" Her first marriage to [Walter Channing] was, she says, a case of marrying well into good Boston stock. When she went to meet Walter's uncle, he said: 'I believe you're a Roman Catholic?' He then nodded very graciously and told her: 'We've always approved of mixed marriages in our family.' I didn't know what he meant.\" He meant that they were Protestant and she was Irish Roman Catholic on her mother's side. \"I think Lady Bracknell is interesting,\" Channing says of her starring role. \"Do you know that Eagles song, Lyin' Eyes? She says she has no fortune of her own. She married this old rich guy and now she's paying for it. There's a bit of social paranoia there. She lives her life with all these rules and regulations she makes up with a tiny bit of frustration and a lot of energy.\"

She was born Susan Antonia Williams Stockard into a prosperous family on New York's Upper East Side, although descriptions of her as a \"socialite\" overstate the case. \"My father was a businessman and I had a good education,\" she says. \"It wasn't like I was this well-behaved version of Paris Hilton that people seem to imagine. It was a rather strict and restricted upbringing that eventually gave me something to react against.\" When she was 14, her father Lester, a shipping boss, contracted lung cancer, which spread to his liver. \"He died when I was 16,\" she recalls. \"It was a terrible time, two years of illness, awful.\" Lester left his daughter a trust fund, however, which took her to Radcliffe college, a women-only institution allied to Harvard, to study literature and history. At 19, she married Walter Channing, a business studies student, and they enjoyed a loving but somewhat phony existence, \"pretending to be 45 and trying to give lovely dinner parties at the weekend\". How did she feel to be back in London alongside yet another stage revival? \"It's fine, it's fine,\" she says. \"I'm OK with Grease now, because in the end it hasn't gotten in my way. I'm even kinda fond of it, because it is a phenomenon, and I was lucky to get it when it was fresh. I regard myself as kinda like a first edition.\" I point out that rebellious, dissatisfied [Betty Rizzo] has proved more of an enduring role model than prissy Sandy to generations of fans. \"Yes,\" Channing agrees. \"I took the part very seriously, so I like to think that little girls can still look at Rizzo and say, yes, she gets what I'm feeling.\" Her career since Grease has been busy, but uneven: she's been in quite a few cancelled sitcoms, and has often elevated mediocre movies by her presence. But the West Wing, in which she was originally assigned only one line of dialogue, was a palpable hit that caught the attention of liberal-minded viewers in Europe as well as America. That's the way it goes. Man proposes, God disposes. And, you know, I think it's worked out OK. Hats off to women in my profession who manage to raise children, but I think about the amount of time I spend bouncing around the world, and I don't think it would have been fair to have a child.\" She's happy where she is. \"I have had a kind of tantric career it still seems to be building and growing,\" she laughs. \"You know, I work a lot. And I would far rather have success near the end of my career or whatever you wanna call it than have had some big, fabulous hit at the beginning, then have the bubble burst.\" Our time is up. She has to go back to being [Bessie Berger]. \"Try not to make me sound a complete fool,\" she says with a final wry grimace. As if.

According to Mebane police warrants, [Robert Channing Walters] was growing marijuana plants, had possession of heroin and had a glass smoking pipe, rolling papers,...

If there is a real link between the 45-year-old Mr. [Walter Channing]'s professional life and his work as a sculptor, it is that in both, he starts with not much more than a concept. ''The business I'm in is creating interesting investments,'' Mr. Channing says. ''We often start the companies from scratch. Sometimes they start with a concept and grow into a business.''

Channing was born Susan Stockard and grew up in Park Avenue luxury in New York City. The Channing name comes from her first husband (she has had four and currently is single), wealthy Bostonian Walter Channing Jr.
