...rehab center was inspired by a group of philanthropists led by the Fisher family, New York real estate moguls who have long provided housing for visiting families of hospitalized soldiers. Brooke, which houses the military's burn unit and some combat amputees from the South, donated land for the 60,000-sq.-ft. facility. With its cutting-edge technology, Intrepid will become a world rehab center and replace Walter Reed as the most desired venue for the wounded. That nearly 100-year-old hospital, which has received most major casualties from Iraq and Afghanistan, is scheduled to close...
...Intrepid will be able to care for as many as 100 patients, including a couple dozen maimed soldiers who entered Monday's dedication ceremony on crutches and wheel chairs.

Even in the 50s, a decade of such screen seraphs as Vivien Leigh, Claire Bloom, Grace Kelly and Jean Simmons (William Wyler's first choice for the role of Princess Ann), Hepburn was a glorious anachronism. She represented...
...mind have its way all the time when physical realities challenge it. In a patient stubbornly working to rehab after surgery, in a child practicing an instrument or struggling to create, a mind or will, clearly separate, hovers under the machinery, forcing it toward a goal. It's wonderful to see, such tangible evidence of that fine thing's power over the mere clumps of particles that, however pretty, will eventually clump differently and vanish...
