Hi, In toady's Sunday Times (a UK Sunday Paper), there's a long article on Christopher Reve and his activities helping other quadriplegics - mainly by raising awareness and money. This caught my eye: >Just as Betty Ford turned her own substance abuse into a campaign for fellow >drunks and drug-takers, Reeve sees himself as an icon for quadriplegics. He >believes that Michael J Fox, the actor with Parkinson's disease, could be >equally effective. And in an interesting parallel with MJF....: >There was a time when he pronounced with certainty that he would walk by >the time he was 50 in 2002. Such comments, Reeve now concedes, were >designed to "light a fire" and further his campaign. Privately, he is less >optimistic about timing than in the early days, but he will never countenance >the prospect of complete failure. If you want to read the article, you should be able to see it at: http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/sti/98/12/06/stirevnws02004.html?000999 If that doesn't work, go to the front page at http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/ - you want "The Sunday Times", "News Review" section.
