...Empty consumerism becomes the running theme of the book, typified by the series of stories about Rusty Brown, a nasty collector of pop-culture detritus. He lives in filth but owns the complete Summer of '87 Happy Meal toy series. It's the only work by Ware to clearly condemn a character without offering any sort of forgiveness. This gives the Rusty Brown vignettes a certain savagery but with limited scope. The whole book, owing chiefly to its "gag" format, begins to feel like the same note being hit over and over.

Surely the Muslim world realizes that the U.S. will not take the attacks lying down. CHRIS COWLING Humansdorp, South Africa...
...Palestinian leadership must be willing to look deep into its society’s culture and values and be ready to condemn those aspects that are antithetical to a potential peace with Israel. Saying that the Jews are the Palestinians’ cousins while continuing to teach Palestinian children that those cousins are treacherous and disloyal will only continue to deter a true peace between the two peoples. Palestinian youths must be taught that anti-Semitism is immoral, and Palestinian leaders have a responsibility to address their society’s flaws rather than simply blaming others...
