...both. I want President Obama and Secretary Clinton to read it, but I also think that at the end of the day, leaders don't tend to truly lead on issues where our values are concerned; they respond to public pressure and public demand.

...That "whoa," is what these contests are all about; and the showbiz impulse behind them drives big-name chefs, who all want to be the person that elicits that breathless gasp of wonderment.

"Scientifically, there is no problem analyzing these samples - everything is correct," Bordry argued in 2005. "If [a retest] had been clean, it would have been very good for him. But he doesn't want to do it, and that's his problem." Landis would be wise to steer clear of France for awhile. His battle with Bordry and the French is no longer about doping in sports but about violating French...
