...events of September 11 galvanized many disparate groups. Who would have thought that comicbooks would be one of them? From the mainstream standard-bearers to the marginalized self-publisher, a spasm of creativity has produced an extraordinary group of works about the events of September 11 and their aftermath. Through an unprecedented cooperative effort the comics press has found a way to revitalize its relevance in popular culture. Thanks to their speed and reproducibility comics have succeeded in providing the first national-scale artistic interpretations of this twenty-first-century international crisis...
...children of divorce--a million new ones each year in the U.S.--and what's being measured is their misery. For decades, since a pioneering study by Judith S. Wallerstein in 1971, sociologists and family-health specialists have posited that the wrenching act of divorce and its aftermath leave scars that can linger--in the afflicted children, throughout adolescence and into adulthood. This theory, buttressed by Wallerstein's 2000 best seller, The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce: A 25 Year Landmark Study, helped explain so many ills--depression, juvenile delinquency, poor grades--even as it justified a flourishing victim-and-caregiver...

Investor scrutiny of things once taken for granted - and an increased awareness of risk - is part and parcel of the aftermath of a burst bubble, and the lessons taught by Enron, if they're learned, make for a more rational investing climate and a better-built expansion, when it does come.

But they're unlikely to simply accept Washington applying its own reading of international law in the aftermath of battle. There's no question that the detainees on Guantanamo represent a challenging category of combatant - indeed, of warfare - not envisaged by the framers of the Geneva Convention. Indeed, the Europeans may have been somewhat placated by being drawn into a discussion at an earlier stage over how to deal with...
...week's end, though, the Guantanamo issue had been supplanted on the front pages by gruesome tales of the terror attack in the northern Israeli town of Hadera. Haaretz commentator Amos Harel could be forgiven for his eerily prescient prediction of the aftermath of last weekend's assassination of Fatah militant Raed Karmi: "There was no need for a degree in political strategy to make an educated guess yesterday about how this week would go," Harel wrote a day before the Hadera attack. "Revenge by Karmi's Fatah colleagues in the West Bank, and a sharp rise in the number...
