United Kingdom: While no responsible person would ever advocate the use of drugs for drivers, tests using a recently developed video game called Burnout have thrown up some surprise statistics.
The testers found that a moderate amount of cannabis actually improved driving performance among those they studied. Results from another recent study apparently also show that people drive both faster and safer while under the influence of the drug.
Washington—The White House’s latest anti-drug media effort, which launches during the Super Bowl this Sunday, links drug use with drinking in TV ads for the first time in the campaign’s five-year history, sources said.
The new work, from New York shops Foote Cone & Belding and Ogilvy & Mather, also promotes the concept of “early intervention”?another first. That marks a shift in focus from the campaign’s usual prevention-based messages. Early intervention is a drug-treatment strategy favored by drug czar John Walters.
WASHINGTON (CNN)—President Bush remained steadfast Tuesday that the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq had made the world safer, even as investigators have failed to find weapons of mass destruction—a key reason cited for going to war.
“There was no doubt in my mind that Saddam Hussein was a grave and gathering threat to America and the world,” Bush said, speaking to reporters at the White House in an appearance with Polish President Alexander Kwasniewski, a U.S. ally in Iraq.

A look at one man’s addiction to the way out sound from the underground
When I was younger I used to listen to a lot of Rock & Roll. I grew up in the age of disco but I always preferred rock ? Zeppelin, Floyd, Sabbath, Hendrix ? even that bad pop metal that was huge in the ?80s. In the early ?90s my tastes inevitably turned to grunge and some of the better alt-rock, but before long I got turned on to techno, house, and other forms of electronic music and suddenly it was all over for Rock & Roll. Back in those crazy ?90s I went through hip-hop, dub, ambient, jungle, trip-hop, house, and hardcore in just a few years, but none of those styles grabbed me and held me like my latest and greatest musical fixation: downtempo.
