...Each of the "acts" followed this reading-discussion pattern. After Tom Hart came James Romberger and Marguerite Van Cook, who collaborate on a sci-fi/urban nightmare series called "Ground Zero." Following them Megan Kelso ("Queen of the Black Black"), resembling the dark-haired Enid from Dan Clowes' "Ghost World," read from her up-coming graphic novel "Artichoke Tales." Lastly, the headliner, Charles Burns, whose work has appeared since the early 1980s, took the stage. A master of the color black (his pages are more ink than paper) Burns specializes in creepy stories filled with disease, freaks and teenagers. Reading...

Worse yet, a rumor has been floating around that the MOA is next on al-Qaeda's hit list. And a widely circulated e-mail warning that malls will...
...roadside kiosks were teeming with fresh pomegranates, for which Kandahar is famous. But there were few people. Bombing has been heavy here, forcing residents to either hole up or flee. The large middle-class neighborhood where Omar had his residence and headquarters looked and felt like a ghost town. The streets were empty. All the houses were locked, some with metal chains. "Anybody who can afford to is leaving," said an attendant at a roadside food kiosk. "The people you find here are have-nots or those who still feel it necessary to look after their business in Kandahar...
