These two factors were found by interviewing and examining the medical histories of 134 weight lifters, who were categorized into three groups—non-steroid users, steroid users with no dependence, and steroid users that had developed dependence...
...sustains the film’s central group, led by a sensitive if shallow performance from Jon Foster as Graham, son of the producer, dealer to the rock star, and resident of the doorman’s building. Without that metaphorical structure, the film sags under its own weight. It was hard enough to take the 80s seriously while they were happening—or so I understand.The film has its technical flaws, as well.

Amid the politically charged debate over the techniques, Soufan's criticism carries special weight because it comes from someone intimately familiar with the little-understood art of extracting information from hard-as-nails jihadists.

To many young Afghans, Schwarzenegger embodies the virtues...

I wouldn't make it easy for a state to unfasten itself; we should require that a two-thirds majority of voters agree. But a Zogby poll last summer found that 1 in 5 Americans thinks states and regions should have the right to leave, which means that the revolutionary DNA of 234 years ago still persists in our bloodstream. Maybe every couple of hundred years, the country should have the debate, just to keep...
