...sometimes horrific mood of Gorey's work, the reader who first comes upon a Gorey tome is likely to be startled, confused and hysterically overcome with laughter. The tales are genuinely hilarious, featuring an eclectic mix of Victorian mannerisms, macabre comedy and blunt inexplicability. The pictures, done in crosshatched ink, are typically accompanied by a simple, hand-written, declarative sentence or sometimes just a word...
Virtually every big paper has made a foray into the online world. "The name of our business is how many eyeballs look at our content," says Howard Tyner, editor of the Chicago Tribune. "If you look just at ink on paper, the number of eyeballs is going down. But to all the people thumping their breast about the end of the daily newspaper, I say, 'Phooey.'"

...nursery rhyme about London Bridge falling down didn't put the architects off elaborate schemes, and no ink was wasted on nostalgia. It was calculated that the 820-ft. bridge would need to carry 147,000 sq. ft. of shops and housing to be financially self-supporting, and the architects knew that obscuring the famous view from Waterloo to St. Paul's Cathedral would be fatal.

But now many of these bustling underwater habitats are taking a beating--and the tropical storms that tore through the region in recent weeks are the least of their problems. "Reefs are tough," observes Clive Wilkinson, a biologist at the Australian Institute of Marine Science. "You can hammer them with cyclones, and they'll bounce right back. What they can't bounce back from...
...Corley (also known as the first Steven Carrington on Dynasty), beat out Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, among others, for the rights, and the book will be published in time for Christmas. Orson Welles, who studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, wrote and illustrated the story using India ink, ballpoint, gouache, watercolor and typewriter, and included such cinematic scenes as Saint Tropez's headless body drifting onto the shores of the city. "I've seen a lot of fetes, fiestas and festivals, every sort and variety of saints-day high-jinks all over the world," he wrote, "but never...
