...which welcomes tired ghosts from the far reaches of the spirit world, is run by Yubaba, a wicked queen with a huge head; she seems inspired by Tenniel's drawings for the Alice books. Her dauphin is a gargantuan baby boy ("Play with me, or I'll break your arm!" he squalls to Chihiro); her enforcers are three severed heads that follow her like bowling balls with a grudge. But as in the best fantasies, Spirited Away creates a fully imagined world: hundreds of critters, each with a distinct personality, populate the descending circles of this teeming dictatorship...

While not difficult in itself, the technique points to Deitch's fundamental challenge to audiences: the act of transgression. The depiction of Waldo typifies Deitch's disturbing art. Though he looks much like Felix the Cat, with big round eyes and little white gloves, he also sports "cute" male genitalia. Superficially...
...resolutions back to the international body and setting a new ultimatum was a "trigger" strategy, designed to ensure maximum international consent for a war the Administration appears to believe is inevitable. The Administration has been mindful of the danger of getting bogged down in a lengthy new round of arms inspections that both delay the march to war and, key Administration officials insist, are a fundamentally inadequate safeguard against Saddam's weapons of mass destruction ambitions.
