Russ Dodge was raised in Montana and educated at Montana State and
Northwestern University. He now works in the medical sciences, publishing mostly
scientific articles and a few short stories. Of "Mickey Mantle" he
writes: "For years, I have watched the way the people die. How they go
about it helps define what we think of people, obviously, and sometimes is all
we remember. Nowadays, as with everything else, we are bombarded with choices
about how to die--how celebrities do it, in Intensive Care Units, with Dr.
Kevorkian, and so forth. And so, as in this story, the question now is: am I
going to die on my terms or somebody else's?"
