...month seems to have been designated as a time for lost histories to re-emerge. First we learned of the Gospel of Judas, which sheds new light on the history of early Christianity, and then the fishapod, a pre-historic creature thought to bridge the evolution from fin to feet. And this week sees the re-appearance of another, less world-historical but still woefully forgotten "missing link" in the evolution of the graphic novel medium. Kings in Disguise (W.W.

The dancers’ coordination was so exact that their jumping made for a veritable bass line. The show continued to gain momentum, but a technical malfunction halted the fifth group of the afternoon midway through its performance. The music for “Traveling Without Moving...

When you walk, as Hodge should know if he is such an expert, you always have at least one foot on the ground, whereas when you run there is a moment when both feet are off the ground. You can increase your rate of walking to some maximum limit without achieving a run. Likewise, you can choose to run at a slower pace than a fast walker. The key difference is in the type of motion, not the rate. ALEXANDER M. BRASH...
