I do know Charles is in a wheel chair but am not sure if it is MS as well. Could be another ailment that is just as horrible as MS.

I had to google to check on Charles. WOULD YOU BELIEVE THE FIRST LINK WAS TO A POST ON DU?

I finally found this everal links down.

Krauthammer wrote that he had been in a wheelchair from a spinal injury since age 22. "For 28 years I've been hearing that a cure is just a few years away. Being a doctor, I have discounted such nonsense." A medical expert -- a disabled one, no less -- was preaching the right message in a national newsweekly.

Charles Krauthammer is a paraplegic, and has been since his younger days. In fact, I believe that he went through Harvard Medical School in a wheelchair. He is a psychiatrist.

His on-line bios don't mention this, probably because he doesn't want to be considered a "victim".
