...painful, however, even for a guy who jokes. "At first, I couldn't move in my wheelchair, it hurt so much," he says. He was heavily drugged for a while but decided to quit methadone cold turkey without telling his doctors--not knowing that it could have been fatal. He weaned himself off Demerol too after it gave him twitches. Frustrated by his slow progress at Brooke, he started to run in secret with his new prosthesis. When his therapists insisted he work out in a pool instead, he got revenge. He showed up in shorts and ripped them...

The Scandinavians will struggle to protect their longtime hold on Nordic events from the Russian, Ukrainian and Czech skiers hot on their heels. Austrian ski great Hermann Maier will attempt to complete his miraculous comeback from a near fatal motorcycle crash in 2001 by adding to his two Olympic gold medals.

Robert Mitchum slit her throat (The Night of the Hunter); James Mason drove her to fatal madness (Lolita). She won two Oscars, for The Diary of Anne Frank and A Patch of Blue, and lent her increasing heft to The Poseidon Adventure. But her ripest later role was as herself: a tell-all memoirist and rowdy talk-show guest who was still entertaining audiences by exasperating...

But Halpern says it is relatively rare, striking mostly people who use LSD specifically. But there are other risks too. Some trips have ended catastrophically, with suicides or fatal accidents.
