After hundreds of movies and TV shows shot in the shaky-cam style, it's a blessing to find one in which the camera is on a tripod - and almost never moves.

"These findings may change practice and help people to be less hesitant to use the drug," says Niebyl...

In February, the U.S. State Department classified the human-rights record of Bongo's Gabon as "poor" and listed such problems as "limited ability of citizens to change their government; use of excessive force, including torture ... arbitrary arrest and detention ... restrictions on freedom of speech, press, association, and movement ... widespread government corruption...
