“Shameless self-promotion” is alleged in the lawsuit by the estate of George Harrison against a seemingly scummy New York oncologist who treated him in his final days in 2001. The suit alleges that the doctor, who has been promoting himself with national media publicity for caring for the dying Beatle and has already been sanctioned by medical authorities for professional misconduct, coerced the enfeebled Harrison into signing deathbed autographs for his children over his objections. —New York Times
