The man who directed 'Bonnie and Clyde'
The response to the film's then-unique blend of violence and comedy, sex and iconoclasm would be what we now know as the New Hollywood.

Sitting in the art-filled Upper West Side duplex he shares with his wife, he recently talked about his life and work. Despite a recent hospitalization for pneumonia, Penn was an animated and articulate conversationalist. "What happens is, you reach 85, and everybody says, 'Get him before he dies!,' " Penn laughs.

Few know physiatrits could help with pain
CHICAGO, Oct. 8 Only 1 percent of U.S. adults know the term "physiatrist," a physician specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation, a U.S. survey found.
However, 67 percent of those surveyed by L.C. Williams & Associates Research Group for the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation said they could benefit from medical care provided by a physiatrist -- once the specialty was defined for them.
Physiatrists, or rehabilitation physicians, specialize in non-surgical management of a full range of conditions including low back, shoulder and neck pain, tendonitis, arthritis, osteoporosis, sports injuries, or more complex conditions such as spinal cord injuries, stroke and cardiac rehabilitation and traumatic brain injuries, using advanced diagnostic techniques and treatment options.
