...also know, or believe, or feel that a return to religion, a willingness to engage it and be engaged by it, does not necessarily entail a retreat from progressive politics: liberation theology in Latin America and inter-faith alliances in North America have certainly complicated notions of religion as alienation. That said, a return to religion does not necessarily entail a reentry into progressive politics either, for a church is not a church, let alone a temple or a mosque, and Jerry Falwell is not the minister whose non-televised words I took in, amid many tears, this past Sunday...
...politicians seeking international sympathy for their reluctance to press forward with the peace agreement while the IRA remains fully armed. And despite their limited scope, attacks on young children there threaten to plunge Northern Ireland back into a far deeper crisis as images of unmitigated hatred threaten to provoke inter-communal clashes at other flashpoints.

...over in the U.S. the way Fox has. "I was watching the political elite going nutso for this guy.

His grandfather was a marquis, his grandmother was a negress. [He was] the wildest romance of a man, who could and did openly maintain at 70 numerous "establishments," and a literary factory as well, whose quantitative output in the arts is equaled only by Reubens? studio. ... ?Tis no secret and no shame either than the Chateau Monte Cristo was haunted by many ghostwriters, and that...
Likewise Dan Clowes hasn't been heard from since he started working on the "Ghost World" movie, based on his own comic and now an indy hit. "Eightball" #22 (September) contains all-new, vaguely inter-related stories of one to three pages that will be completely self-contained.
