...Meets with Osama bin Laden but does not join al Qaeda. Starts using the name Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi and sets up his own terrorist-training camp in Herat, near Afghanistan's western border with Iran. The camp becomes an Islamic commune of jihadis and their families with al-Zarqawi as their emir, or military chieftan...
Several months ago, my roommate and I decided to start a commune. In a yet-to-be-specified city, we have found the answer to sky-high rents—without salaries we surely couldn’t afford a place—we are living under a bridge wth a small killer dog to protect our laptops...
Hayes is tall, completely bald and fond of odd sartorial combinations. One day when we met, he wore black leather shoes with an unfashionably large buckle, gray pants that were too short and a gigantic double-breasted jacket. He once lived on a commune, and he still wears an oversize ring that he said was made by Zuni Indians. "I traded it for some contraband in the '60s in Taos," he told me. His critics will be delighted to learn that Hayes attended two est trainings in Atlanta years ago. He admits that he also dabbled in meditation seminars...

David B. seems to have total recall of what it was like growing up with a stigmatized brother, providing a fascinatingly detailed account of parents who try everything, including a stint at a macrobiotic commune, to cure their son. But the illness only serves as the thread around which the author weaves his other themes, illustrated in extraordinary black and white drawings that give form to ghosts and demons as much as real people. Deeply moving, stunning to look at, and a perfect marriage of form...
