...interesting because that film is about a TV junkie, and Sarah Goldfarb is a TV junkie in this film, and sort of an addict dealing with real sex and real violence. Stylistically I've always been interested in fusing, in the idea of filmmaking that when you're walking down the street, you're not really just walking down the street, you're thinking about the conversation you had three hours ago, or you're thinking about the vacation you're going to take with your best friend in two weeks, and your mind is drifting to some house...
Many physicians are also erroneously worried that they will addict patients or even kill them. Last year Kathleen Foley, another New York City pain specialist, released a study showing that 40% of her fellow neurologists wrongly believed that using a dose of morphine big enough to control breathlessness would actually euthanize the patient.

There's probably some creative way to praise them, but the simple truth is that Guster put on a good show. The music itself had such a true...
...design a tangled web of conflicts of interest, we should not be surprised by the legal horror stories that result. One Texas defendant was assigned as his defense lawyer a former district attorney who had once prosecuted him; furthermore, the attorney was known to have been a cocaine addict, the information having come to light after he was involved in a drug-influenced traffic accident on the way to a fundraiser for the judge who would later appoint him as defense counsel. The attorney was also $90,000 in debt to the IRS and suspected of embezzling funds from...
