Ebert: We spend too much time hiding illness :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Metro & Tri-State

Roger Ebert: "I ain't a pretty boy no more."

Ebert is recovering from a variety of medical problems, but is tired of hiding his altered appearance. I think he is wrong about what people will say. Some will make a few tension-relieving quips about his appearance, but that's only because humor lightens the load. I am convinced that people in general will be generous and supportive.
