...tell you what I did enjoy: the mornings after, when Vadim was gone and the woman and I would linger over our coffee and talk. For me it was a way to bring some humanity to the relationship, an antidote to objectification. I would ask her about herself, trying to understand her history and why she had agreed to share our bed (questions I never asked myself!) and, in the case of the call girls, what had brought her to make those choices. I was shocked by the cruelty and abuse many had suffered, saw how abuse had made them...
...begins with a naturalistic scene of Glenn and his girlfriend idling in a cemetery at night. "The air was thick with the smell of baking bread," reads one panel. When a shuffling sound comes from behind them they turn to see "the undead" rising from their graves. Rather than linger on this classic horror set-up Huizenga instead abruptly shifts the scene to bison on the plains. Though at first taken as a visual non sequitur, this peculiar juxtaposition signals one of Huizenga's curious shifts in time...
...years since the reviled Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, were executed by firing squad, but their ghosts linger on. The couple has been the subject of several books, TV programs and documentaries.

Cantu, 28, rarely lets any item linger on the menu for long, preferring to try new ideas like soy paper disks that look and taste like sushi and whole carbonated grapes that fizz when you pop them into your mouth (he calls them "champagne"). Lately he has been experimenting with food levitation. By injecting helium into froths and zapping smaller substances with an ion-particle gun, he hopes someday to float plate-free meals above the dining-room table. Cantu says Oscar Meyer representatives recently approached him about helping them create a kid-friendly edible menu. Instead he persuaded them...
