...comics publisher Max Gaines (whose son Bill would publish Tales from the Crypt and Mad in the '50s) recommended the lads to DC Comics. Finally someone said yes. From that first issue, the character was fully formed: he could "hurdle a 20-story building ... run faster than an express train ..." and still, as Clark Kent, never impress newsgal Lois Lane. The final panel seemed boastful--"Superman is destined to reshape the destiny of a world!"--but was simply prophetic.

...arrangements of the past 50 years--or merely a matter of presidential pique? The flattery, handholding and creative fudgery that are at the heart of diplomacy are the very sort of fancy-pants flummeries that the President abhors. This has been a radical experiment--John McCain's Straight Talk Express taken global--and the results have been dreadful. If we haven't actually lost a public-relations war to Saddam Hussein, we clearly haven...
