...played by Beyoncé Knowles. While Beyoncé’s voice doesn’t quite match the prowess of James’s in the classic “At Last,” she comes very close, and is reasonably convincing as a frustrated heroin addict. With James, Chess finally finds his key to crossing over, but with his growing fondness for her and her battle with addiction, he finds himself on shaky ground. Casting Director Kim Hardin should be applauded for assembling a brilliant ensemble. Apart from the choice of Eamonn Walker as Howlin?...
None of the researchers believe that stimulant maintenance is a panacea or that it will work for every cocaine or meth addict. But there is no medical treatment that works 100% of the time. "I think we have found something of potential benefit, and it should be met with interest and further research, rather than disdain," Grabowski says...

While both sides debate the issue, ultimately the decision on HAT's fate...

That's a connection that surely pleases Japan's new Prime Minister Taro Aso. The 68-year-old premier, who is a self-confessed manga addict, has called for Japan to pursue what he calls "comic-book diplomacy." (Last year, when he was serving as Japan's Foreign Minister, Aso counted among his accomplishments inaugurating an International Manga Award that honors foreign artists.) Aso's own internationalism is rooted in personal experience, a relative rarity among Japanese...
