...Moreover, Portfolio never seemed to find an editorial voice that distinguished it from other business publications or to draw in crucial new readers or advertisers to the category. "Every time I saw another unfortunate portrait on the cover of someone 'venerable' - Sumner Redstone? Barry Diller? Really? - I thought about what could have been," says Jeff Chu, a writer who left TIME to work on the Portfolio launch and jumped ship after the first eight months. But more daring editorial choices, like December's cover subject of Dov Charney, the controversial CEO of American Apparel, came across as ill-timed...

The system eschews rote memorization - Rosetta Stone promises you'll learn a second language in the same way a child learns...
...criticism carries special weight because it comes from someone intimately familiar with the little-understood art of extracting information from hard-as-nails jihadists. As a supervisory special agent from 1997 to 2005 - and one of the FBI's few Arabic speakers - Soufan was involved in a string of crucial investigations and interrogations, from the Millennium Bombing plot in Jordan to the U.S.S. Cole bombing in Yemen and a number of Gitmo interrogations. His greatest success was the interrogation of Abu Jandal, bin Laden's former bodyguard. After the 9/11 attacks, Soufan's interrogation of Abu Jandal yielded a rich...
