Another source for the pros & cons of the various forms of life insurance
is Consumer Reports.  There have been several issues published on insurance
within the past two years, and CR rates the various insurance companies.
Personally, I find it hard to make a case for anything other than term.
If you're going to buy life insurance, just buy the insurance (which is what
term is).  Any other form of life insurance is not only insurance but a savings
plan as well.  You can probably get a better return on your money by following
the traditional advice "buy term and invest the difference yourself".
