...TIME lent respectability to short-cloaked Islamophobia in Richard Brookhiser's "A Template for Taming Iran" [Feb. 19]. After delivering a lesson on the war with the Barbary States, he insinuated that Iran's threat might likewise be a missionary one of "militant jihad" to "make slaves" of "sinners." And in justifying the Barbary Wars by claiming, "Sufficient to the day was the evil thereof," he evidently intended to demonize Iran by representing it as a vague menace. His message is alarmist and empty...

...studies are voluntary and largely focus on history and philosophy; those seeking the traditional religious instruction of their faith may also do so in classes led by trained educators who share those students' beliefs. The school cafeteria is attentive to religious dietary rules and accommodates fasting during Ramadan or Lent. Students can take religious holidays, no matter how awkwardly they sit with the school calendar. Yet for all that, religion doesn't play a big role in school life, says Gregory Kimbembe, 15, who is of African origin. "You don't really notice religion at all except for the crucifixes...

...Beddoe-the subject of a Time cover story in 2005-writes that Braydle's goatee and narrow spectacles lent him a Freudian air. And in the therapist's preoccupation with sex there are echoes of the work of Sigmund Freud. Psychoanalysis, the family of psychological theories and methods he devised in the 1890s, underpins the many forms of psychotherapy available today. Freud postulated the existence of the unconscious, which he said is shaped by early experience and can profoundly affect moods and behavior, its secrets detectable in dreams and slips of the tongue. "[Braydle] would justify his treatment of [Beddoe...

...Some of these masterworks are known only in diluted form. E.C. Segar's newspaper strip Thimble Theatre lent its most popular character, Popeye, to cartoons. So did George Herriman with his Krazy Kat and R. Crumb, to his immediate and lingering regret, with Fritz the Cat. (Winsor McCay, who created his Little Nemo in Slumberland comic strip in 1905, smartly made his own animated films.) Say "Mad," and most people will think of the magazine, or the TV show, not Harvey Kurtzman's inestimably more original and insurrectionist comic book, which existed for 23 glorious issues from...
