Description of Pictures: In 2005, Eleanor Clift's husband, journalist Tom Brazaitis, lay dying in a hospital bed in their living room. As Clift cared for her husband through the last two weeks of his life, the nation watched as a very different death played out in a Florida nursing home--one that gripped the entire country, including the highest levels of all three branches of the federal government--as Terri Schiavo entered her final days. The National Press Club welcomes Eleanor Clift on March 17 to discuss her new book about these parallel tragedies, one so public, and one so private.
While Clift spent every night with her husband as he lost his long battle with kidney cancer, she also covered Terri Schiavo's story as a journalist. In the disparity between these two events, Clift finds the compelling questions at the center of Tom's death and Terri's: how should we handle the decisions surrounding a loved one's death? What do we do when that person has not spoken about these issues in the past and now cannot?
Eleanor Clift is a contributing editor for Newsweek magazine and a regular panelist on the nationally syndicated show The McLaughlin Group. Clift and her late husband, Tom Brazaitis, co-authored two books: War Without Bloodshed: The Art of Politics, and Madam President: Shattering the Last Glass Ceiling. Clift is the author of Founding Sisters and the Nineteenth Amendment.

2008 photos: Equipment this year: I was using three cameras -- the Fuji S9000 and the Canon Rebel Xti from last year, and a new camera, the Fuji S100fs. The first two cameras had their pluses and minuses and I really didn't have a single camera that I thought I could use for just about everything. But I loved the S100fs and used it almost exclusively this year.
Trips this year: (1) Civil War Preservation Trust annual conference in Springfield, Missouri , (2) a week in New York, (3) a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con, (4) a driving trip to St. Louis, and (5) a visit to dad and Dixie's in Asheville, North Carolina.
Ego strokes: A picture I'd taken last year during a Friends of the Homeless event was published in USA Today with a photo credit and everything! I became a volunteer photographer with the AFI/Silver theater.
Number of photos taken this year: 330,000.
