Nancy Cruzan, now 32, has done nothing for the past seven years. She has not hugged her mother or gazed out the window or played with her nieces. She has neither laughed nor wept, her parents say, nor spoken a word.

During these pieces, the best seats in the house were those from which you could observe Summers trying his best...
