...family is the most important thing. If you destroy the family, how can society exist?" says Peiyuan, sitting in a car on the road to Yueyang, five hours north of his home in Changsha. This is a journey into the dark past for him. Yueyang is where he was sent to prison in 1969 for 11 years during the Cultural Revolution, accused of being an antirevolutionary rightist. His wife left him because he was politically tainted, taking their three-year-old son with...
...opts a barnyard revolution against humans--spooked publishers because the Soviets were allies against the Nazis. By the time an animated film was made, in 1955, the tale wasn't anti-pinko enough, so a propagandistic anti-swine uprising was added.

David O.

But now, thanks to the Stanford company--inventors of the incredible, indelible Sharpie--gel pens have found their redeemer. The uni-ball Gel Impact 1.0mm ($2.49) gushes ink like a rollerball without bleeding through the page. A blue or black fountain-like line without all the pretension or nib sucking, imagine that! The Gel Impact has sent shockwaves through the pen design community with its ultra-modern silver...
