...making this film memorable, I know critics are tripping over themselves in praising his performance, so allow me to stumble, too. Mr. Newman is truly captivating. The substance and honesty he brings to the role are reminiscent of his performances in "The Hustler" and "Cool Hand Luke". If ever he has deserved an Academy Award, it is for "Nobody's Fool...

At Denver's Presbyterian -- St. Luke's Hospital, where nurses routinely practice TT, the staff has created a "Department of Energy." And at Bristol Hospital in Connecticut, a quarter of the caregivers have completed an in-house, 15-hour course...
