[edit] POV

My POV concern is regarding the following:

Note: the Weiders have been criticized for monopolizing the sport of bodybuilding. Weider's magazines have, according to critics, publicized incorrect training articles and weightlifting systems that cannot possibly be followed by the average person.

I'm not arguing the truthfullness of this statement, but I think it is NPOV enough that it requires a source or sources. fbb_fan 02:14, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Books

I have corresponded with Ben about the cause of Napoléon I’s death. He said he has written three books on the issue: “Assassination at St. Helena”, “Assassination at St. Helena Revisited” and “The Murder of Napoleon”. He wrote the first together with Sten Forshufvud. The two others might have been written by both of them or just Ben. It depends on when they were written since Sten died in 1985. Anyone who happend to know?

I locked up the two other books on Amazon.com. “Assassination at St. Helena Revisited” was written by both Ben and Sten Forshufvud. “The Murder of Napoleon” was written only by Ben. It might well have been written after Sten’s death. Anyone who happend to know when it was first issued?
