...Beauty and the Beast fame, has the chops (and the eyebrows and the jawbones) to deliver Hellboy’s throwaway one-liners and punches with the appropriate devil-may-care élan: he’s Dirty Harry with a penchant for beer and pancakes, a superhero-everyman less detached than Batman and much cooler than Spiderman...
Reeve readily acknowledged that he was not a paralytic Everyman. With his high profile and ample funds, he had access to the best possible care. For that reason, he was often criticized for creating false hope. But a lack of any hope at all is something many paralyzed people already have in abundance.

A mere 18 months ago, Latham was in the outer at the Sydney Cricket Ground, plastic beer cup in hand, watching an Ashes Test. Howard was there, too - in the Australian Cricket Board suite sipping wine with the chairman. Latham is more complex than the blokey caricature. It's true he's distinctly of his class, neighborhood and generation...
