Lacking a traditional plot, the book has an episodic quality, focusing on an individual, like the woman who cooks dinner for her five-years-late-from-work husband, then moving on to the next. A black cat's wanderings serve as the narrative link between them all. Other connections, less obvious, also slowly appear. A mysterious, cog-filled glass ball appears on the painter's table and again in another character's dream. Most brilliantly, some connections come as a result of matching visual styles - just as it should be for a smart, sophisticated, "graphic" novel. One explosion of color...
...live and mate in. Male Siberian tigers, for example, have home ranges extending up to 400 sq. mi. In many cases there are no longer large enough blocks of wilderness left for such species to maintain a viable breeding population. So scientists are looking for ways to establish corridors linking contiguous reserves or parks. One proposal would link Canada's Yukon to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming to allow grizzlies to roam a larger area. A WWF plan calls for developing the Terai Arc across northern India and Nepal. The arc would link 11 national parks and reserves into...

And they're inclined to believe that he was eliminated by Iraqi security agents because he's become a liability to Baghdad - just the sort of link to the world of international terror that Washington hawks would cite as reason to eliminate Saddam's regime...
...last Saturday, a clearly piqued President Bush called a halt to the torrent of Republican complaints, and said he'd make up his own mind based on "the latest intelligence." The intelligence, according to the more hawkish elements, points to a dangerous link between Saddam and al Qaeda. Defense Secretary Rumsfeld has suggested that leaders of Bin Laden's group may be hiding out in Iraq. But other officials specified that intelligence had found that "second-tier" al-Qaeda leaders had joined up with an Islamist militia in the Kurdish-controlled north of Iraq, beyond Baghdad's direct control - although...
...Immediately following September 11, the Defense Policy Board convened a two-day seminar at which it was generally agreed that removing Saddam should be one of the objectives of the U.S. war on terrorism, even in the absence of any link between Iraq and al-Qaeda. The point was underscored, on September 20 in an open letter to President Bush by Perle and a number of prominent conservatives (many of them Defense Policy Board members). "Even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the [September 11] attack, any strategy aiming at the eradication of terrorism and its sponsors must...
