«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

Family spokesman Jim McGrath said Thursday that the 92-year-old former president remains in stable condition in Houston Methodist Hospital's intensive care unit with pneumonia.

Bush stepped on his wife's toe in 1989 while boarding Air Force One.

«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

(AP) — Psychologists who designed the CIA's harsh interrogation methods for the war on terror want a lawsuit from three former detainees dismissed, but a federal judge said Thursday that he was inclined to allow it to move to a trial that was expected to include classified information. U.S. District Judge Justin Quackenbush heard arguments on whether Mitchell and Jessen acted as agents of the federal government, which could make them immune from lawsuits, or as independent contractors.

«Star Tribune» (startribune.com) 

If you’re a Vikings fan with the stomach to watch this weekend’s NFL playoff games, you will probably see two pretty entertaining games. You will most definitely see great quarterbacks.

Matt Ryan has consistently been one of the better quarterbacks in the league over the past several years. This is nothing new. Elite QBs dominate the playoffs. Sure... Читать дальше...
