Actor Christopher Reeve (c) visited NIH on Dec. 15 to learn more about research on spinal cord injury and to meet with leading scientists. Among those who hosted his visit to the Clinical Center were Dr. Zach Hall (l), NINDS director, and NIH director Dr. Harold Varmus. Reeve was briefed in the 11th floor solarium by intramural scientists and several extramural grantees. Segments from the visit were aired Dec. 23-24 on NBC's Today Show.
Sculptor by Night By Rich McManus
Arrayed across a table top on the fifth floor of the
Gateway Bldg. in Bethesda is a small coterie of figures,
lifelike representations of characters invented by Dickens
and Tchaikovsky. Here is Tiny Tim, hobbling on a wooden
crutch. There, Jacob Marley, swathed in chains and
mummy-gray, freezes in mid-stagger. Nearer is the Harlequin
from The Nutcracker, resplendent in mask and parti-colored
outfit. | |||
