BOOK REVIEW: ‘Best of Enemies’ by Gus Russo and Erick Dezenhall

By Joseph C. Goulden

A portion of a once-classified CIA report that disclosed the existence of a drug research program dubbed &quot;Project Medication&quot; is photographed in Washington, Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2018. Shortly after 9/11, the CIA considered using a drug that might work like a truth serum and force terror suspects to give up information about potential attacks. After months of research, the agency decided that a drug called Versed, a sedative often prescribed to reduce anxiety, was “possibly worth a try.” But in the end, the CIA decided not to ask government lawyers to approve its use. The American Civil Liberties Union fought in court to have the report released. (AP Photo/Jon Elswick

BOOK REVIEW: ‘The Spy who was left Behind’ by Michael Pullara

By Joseph C. Goulden

In this Oct. 18, 2018, photo, dentist Kou Vang works on a patient in his St. Paul, Minn. office. Vang, 63, didn't get around to dentistry until he was in his 40s. He was told he was the first Hmong to go into dentistry in Minnesota, and probably the first grandfather to graduate from his program. That's because Vang's life took him the long way, through war, prison camp, destitution, immigration and a lot of hard work. (Scott Takushi/Pioneer Press via AP)
