This summer issue features three interviews with established researchers and writers. Dr. John Milton Hoberman (University of Texas at Austin) discusses a variety of topics connected with his books, including his most recent book, Dopers in Uniform, on steroids in policing. Allen M. Hornblum (covered widely on CBS, CNN, and BBC) replies to questions on medical ethics and smear campaigns in sports, topics related to his latest release, American Colossus: Big Bill Tilden and the Creation of Modern Tennis. And professor Michele McArdle Stephens (West Virginia University) touches on the use of the hallucinogenic drug, peyote, in the Huichol culture, the subject of her first major book-length publication, In the Lands of Fire and Sun: Resistance and Accommodation in the Huichol Sierra, 1723-1930. Then an essay of film criticism by Heather Duerre Humann (Florida Gulf Coast University) discusses gender in science fiction in the film Sucker Punch. Samantha Lauer contributes her regular feature with reviews of recently released films that she particularly enjoyed including Coco, Mother! and Annihilation. In keeping with CCR’s mission to promote all visual and audio arts, the last section is a photography project on the themes of timelessness and comfort from a widely published photographer and author, Fabrice Poussin (Shorter University).
