...break decisively from its past. For Sharif and Bhutto's widower Asif Zardari, leaders of the two mainstream parties, this means avoiding a return to the vindictiveness and squabbling that characterized relations between their parties in the 1990s and undermined Pakistan's previous experiment with democracy. Their first test will be the selection of a new President, where it is essential that a nonpartisan, mutually acceptable candidate be chosen. Both sides must recognize that building a stable democratic system will better serve their interests in the long run than engaging in a zero-sum conflict that sets the stage...
...know already from the last couple years that the spiral of doping has gone up again. We are now dealing with drugs that are not detected at all because no good test has been developed for them. That includes growth factors. The most frequently used is at present IGF-1, insulin-like growth factor 1, which is not detected in urine or even blood tests.

"She has to study for the [citizenship] test." A few years ago, Cejudo had an itch to reunite with his father. He never had the chance; Jorge Cejudo died in Mexico City in May 2007 from heart failure that stemmed from years of alcohol and drug abuse. He was 44. "I would sure have loved him to see what we've been through," says Cejudo...
What do you think your role is? My job is to show the world how much good pot does. They always drug-test people when they get in an accident or when they get hurt, you know, or in sports. I want them to start drug-testing people that invent great things. Like a computer program, for instance. Drug-test those people! Find out if they're on pot, you know. Drug-test those scientists who figured out a way to go to outerspace. The people that really smoke pot - all these great authors - Norman Mailer. They're potheads...
