Ebert won’t return to TV
From the Associated Press
Roger Ebert will resume writing reviews later this month but will not rejoin his syndicated TV show because he’s still unable to speak.

“But I still have all my other abilities, including the love of viewing movies and writing about them,” Ebert said.
