...revival of economic activity in the regions. Many have spoken of the nation's complacency; its obsession with material wealth and comfort at the expense of the next generation. Emerson not only aspires to something better and more lasting, he's come up with dozens of practical-some even bold- ways for getting Australia there...
...agreement the negotiators eventually reached was unveiled with plenty of fanfare and not a little hyperbole. "It's a bold step forward in the struggle to help America's kids lead healthier lives," Clinton said. Maybe, but the terms are hardly airtight. Sweetened drinks will still be available at after-school events that parents attend, such as plays and games, and kids remain free to load up on sugar on their way to school.

Fusing text, traditional comic pages, gag strips, and photos, the book's form reflects its fractured content as it swings from detective pastiche to domestic anecdotes to meditations on the role of art.
