...disappointed by the criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in "Sharon's Game" [WORLD, June 23]. Throughout his administration, Sharon has altered his beliefs about peace in the Middle East. By beginning to dismantle settlements, Sharon has been faithful to the road map for peace laid out in the meeting with President Bush and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, even when it has meant confronting Israeli opposition. Sharon was correct in labeling Abbas "a chick that hasn't grown its feathers." Bush ought to reconsider chastising Sharon for ordering attacks on Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi and other members...
...Secretary Of State Colin Powell traveled to the Middle East last weekend to try to get President Bush's road map back on track, U.S. frustrations with the stalled peace efforts have begun to focus on a familiar target: France. State Department and White House sources tell TIME the U.S. has lodged complaints that Paris is turning a blind eye to fund raising in France by front organizations for Hamas, the terrorist group that has claimed responsibility for most of the recent wave of suicide attacks.

...little chapbooks are a window to the future of comics. Two of my favorites were Kevin Huizenga?s ?Gloriana Comics,? and Jonathan Bennett?s ?Esoteric Tales.? Huizenga?s book, about a young, expectant father, moves from silly gags to moments of contemplation to astrological physics, including a grand cosmological map that folds out of the center. In contrast, Bennett?s book couldn?t be more grounded, reveling as it does in self-deprecating tales of such pop-culture trivialities as collecting records or the history of Leslie rotating amplifiers...
...Abbas's position is premised on convincing militants their armed struggle is a dead end. Which it almost certainly is. Unfortunately for him, however, the militants can turn the argument around, and ask just where the road map leads. And right now, he can't convince them even that it leads to an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, on most or all of the West Bank and Gaza emptied of the hated settlements, much less that it addresses longstanding Palestinian shibboleths as the "right of return" of refugee families who fled Israel in 1948. So, despite...
