Betty Friedan, on the other hand, proved a formidable presence. Staff writer Nadya Labi traveled to Friedan's Washington apartment to work with the feminist icon on the brief reminiscence of the women's movement that accompanies our Emmeline Pankhurst story.

And Sammy Sosa, who took creatine and came in second in the great slugfest of 1998. They must know something the rest...
Creatine, on the other hand, is not a steroid and more closely resembles a protein. Synthesized from amino acids, it functions as an energy reservoir for short, high-intensity workouts.
