He joked with nurses, signed a price support bill, and doctors predicted a full day possible with rest. Brady, severely injured, shows limited movement and speech, but is expected to live, with possible paralysis affecting the left side. Suspect Hinckley, 25, Evergreen Colorado, held without bond on attempted assassination charges. A psychiatric exam will determine trial competence.
