...Each side's conduct upon the announcement of the cease-fire hints at the challenges ahead. Hamas moved its men off the streets of Gaza City, retreating to checkpoints in the Khan Yunis camp where it holds sway. But in Gaza City, militiamen under the command of Fatah security chief Mohammed Dahlan, whose nephew was kidnapped by Hamas fighters last week, fortified their positions at key intersections...
...national-unity government of Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, leader of the right-wing Likud bloc, and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, head of the Labor Party, is divided over nearly every major decision.

Not a graphic novel, yet, but a graphic short story...
Gone are the days when an employer or volunteer director would consider it quaint if an older person pleaded technophobia and asked to conduct business on paper. "The computer, if you can use it, enables you to stay in the workforce longer," notes Kristin Fabos, executive director of SeniorNet, a nonprofit dedicated to helping seniors learn computer skills...
