| | Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Chistopher Reeve talks about life as a quadraplegic |
 | | It sounds strange to say it, but Reeve is, in a certain sense, a fortunate man, and he knows it. |
 | | Bedford, in Westchester County, New York, is a cartoonishly idyllic slice of rural America - dappled lanes, Colonial-era houses, gleaming white church spires and grass so vividly green it might have been treated with extra chlorophyll. |
 | | Reeve's public persona is well established by now: he is the man who played Superman and then became Superman, a living demonstration of the benefits of hope and positivity in the face of a catastrophe that might have destroyed him mentally - and so there is something startling about the intensity of his rage. |
