Rehab Roll Call

Genius, in one respect, is like gold—numbers of persons are constantly writing about both, who have neither.

—CHARLES CALEB COLTON*

People you might know who went to rehab:

* Charles Caleb Colton, by the way, was an English cleric and writer of aphorisms. He left church ser vice suddenly when he was busted for bootlegging wine. While hiding in Paris he blew the equivalent of a half-million-dollar inheritance on gambling. When Colton became ill he thought he must surely need surgery, but he was so afraid of doctors, he killed himself at age fifty-two, in 1832. This particular genius was discovered to be suffering from no more than the symptoms of a common cold.
