...gallivanting around foreign countries and squirming as he tastes the weirdest stuff Food Network producers can find. In his new book, he appears to be doing more of the same while looking as fashionably ratty as ever. He sits on what one can presume to be a third-world stoop, wearing dingy travel slouch pants, a dirty Oxford shirt, and sandals, dangling a cigarette from his forefingers. Never in his wildest dreams could Emeril hope to look this appealing. [SEE CORRECTION BELOW...
...pouring water into the cloth to simulate the feeling of drowning. While campaigning politicians and potential cabinet secretaries may wish to muddy the water with contrived scenarios and ambiguous legalese, the reality is actually fairly simple. Waterboarding is torture, and torture is inherently immoral. The United States should never stoop to such a practice. Outside of the political arena, there doesn’t seem to be much confusion. Institutions such as the UN Convention against Torture, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, and an open letter to former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales signed by over 100 American...
Rubino says that Noriega, too, wants to go home to Panama. He says the former strongman, who now walks with a stoop and is 73 (or 69 according to the birth date cited by Assistant U.S. Attorney Pat Sullivan in court documents), wants to spend his final days with his grandchildren as an "elder statesman."

Tempers blister; discipline runs thin. We've had summers of riots, of stalkers and serial killers, of orange alerts and Amber alerts, West Nile and wildfires. This August brings familiar fears and fresh ones, the storms now pacing offshore with disarming names like Flossie and Erin; we know...
...What is the coolest thing you learned from being an actor? -Jessie Moon, Sinton, TexasYou learn humility, like when you go to an acting coach who makes you pay for 10 lessons in advance and makes you sit out on the stoop until it's your hour. That's all fine, but when you are not the writer, the director, the producer or the star, you also learn humility. I brought that back to the band, and I think it truly is the key to our success from the '90s on. It helped us not rest on our laurels...
