Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 2007
Reaction to Clark's appearance was mixed, reported CNN.com. While some TV critics (including Tom Shales of The Washington Post, in an interview with the CBS Radio Network) felt he was not in good enough shape to do the broadcast, stroke survivors and many of Clark's fans praised him immensely for being a role model for people dealing with post-stroke recovery.[2]
Clark also appeared on the 2006 Emmy Award telecast on August 27, 2006. Clark was introduced by American Idol judge Simon Cowell, after the show paid tribute to his successful career that has spanned decades. He was shown seated behind a podium, and although his speech was still quite slurred, was able to address the audience and introduce Barry Manilow's performance.
On December 31, 2006, Clark will return to "New Year's Rockin' Eve," co-hosting with Ryan Seacrest. [3]

After Stroke: book ;
A must read for post stroke patients, February 24, 2006
Reviewer: Kathy (Arl. Hts, IL) - See all my reviews
I purchased this book for my father who suffered from a stroke. Physically, he recovered rather quick, however mentally he's been suffering from a bit of depression. Most post stroke books he purchased focused on physical recovery and it was difficult for my dad to relate. David Hinds tells his own story and has given my dad a bit of hope for true recovery, that things will resume as they once were but only with time. This book has taught him the value of patience, patience, and more patience. I would definitely recommend this book to stroke victims in need of hope.
