<p>Winslow, who played in five Pro Bowl games during his distinguished career, explained that "through football I learned that I could go beyond what I thought was physically, mentally and spiritually impossible. Challenges will come to you in life, and you have to do what it takes to overcome."</p>]]></description>

<p>"It's something that has an incredibly long history ... one that has always been tied to the world's democracies," said Rejali, explaining how torture tactics date back to ancient Greece and Rome. </p>]]></description>
