...recall what your reaction was when you heard that the scandal had broken? My head started filling with a white noise, as if it was going to explode. I could barely hear or be aware of anything else going on about me. It was as if somebody stuck their arm down my throat, grabbed my insides, turned them, and pulled them back out. It was a feeling of total and utter disbelief that everything you knew, you counted on, you planned and you worked 40 years for had just disappeared. It's one of the worst feelings I've ever...
Wischmeyer saw this firsthand as a medical resident in 1999, when a fellow student was found dead from a propofol overdose, the syringe still stuck in his arm. Since then he's followed cases of professionals, and a handful of non-professionals, who have abused the drug. Even the professionals he has studied have high mortality rates with the drug, with a third of the abusers dying from it. The small pool of non-professionals fare worse. "I've never found a non-medical person abusing this drug that has ever lived," says Wischmeyer. Propofol's potency leaves very little...
...thought it might be good to revitalize some old-fashioned toys like that. So I started thinking of a goldfish." The young fish, named Brunhild, is swimming with her sisters in Miyazaki's sea when she escapes this seeming paradise, floating up to the surface and getting her snout stuck in a jar.

...eight hours of sound are just a fifth of the overall concert, and thank God. Because Woodstock's first half was honkingly bad. Richie Havens' "Freedom (Motherless Child)," a song he improvised onstage because other artists were stuck in traffic, is representative of the problem. Absent the day's biggest commercial acts - the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan declined to participate - the bill tilted toward flute bands and folkies, and they played to a crowd the size of Reno, Nev., as if they were in a coffeehouse. A lot of the rock bands, meanwhile, were stoned...
While more powerful reformists than Karroubi have stuck to vague appeals for justice, Karroubi is confronting the government with specific charges and has advanced a clear political platform, making himself a lightning rod for criticism from within the regime. And it's far from clear that Karroubi's more confrontational approach will yield results against a government willing to deploy overwhelming force to maintain its grip on power. Over the weekend, in fact, opposition activists were dismayed to hear reports that former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani had called for unity and for all Iranians to follow Supreme Leader Ayatullah...
