Following along on Keith's path of self-destruction as I read "Dear Boy" was
incredibly painful; the reason it took me a few weeks to finish the book was not
because of its length, but because of the frustration I felt as I watched Keith
slowly ruin his life.  I think Keith DID want help, sanity, and happiness, but he was
unwilling to make the changes in himself that were required for his hopes to be
achieved.  And, let's face it, nobody near Keith had their own private lives in such
healthy order that they could invest the time in a major effort towards his
rehabilitation when Keith himself could charm anyone into thinking that nothing
whatsoever was wrong.

"How can he be saved?"  Based on conversations in which I participated while in
London this past September, it seems that Keith's death deeply troubles those who
loved him.  I expect that many people still ask themselves whether Keith would be
alive if someone who mattered to him had taken a firm stance and compelled him to
face his demons and vanquish them.

Which Who DVDs are scheduled for release in 1999?
