Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace reads from his bed at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, Md., in this May 17, 1972, photo. With him is his wife, Cornelia. Wednesday, May 15, 2002, will mark the 30th anniversary the assassination attempt that left Wallace paralyzed from the waist down. After the assassination attempt, Wallace shed some of his image as a fiery segregationist and was successful later in life as a racial moderate. (AP Photo)
