Everyone interested in the sixties, the Vietnam War, etc. should 
immediately buy a ticket and see Oliver Stone's BORN ON THE FOURTH OF 
JULY now playing everywhere.  This film has one of the fewest accurate 
media portrayals of the disabled, namely paraplegic Ron Kovic, played 
by Tom Cruise.  Although the movie really is more a vet's story than a 
disability one, it still is a very good film.

Does this mean that they are headed for wheelchairs? or that their
wheelchairs are tied together? or that they are tied to their 
wheelchairs?  "Wheelchair-using" might be more accurate.
