...course, you could envision a lot at this embryonic stage. "These are the first steps into new avenues," says Stephen McPherson, president of ABC Primetime Entertainment. "This is all a frontier for everybody." But whether the big new TV distribution medium ends up being iTunes or VOD or something else, the trend throughout entertainment is portability. Viewers can get pared-down mini-episodes of shows, including Desperate Housewives, on their cell phones through services including GoTV. Fox has created one-minute cell-phone offshoots of 24, and a mini-spin-off of Lost is forthcoming. Time Warner (TIME's parent...

...Part of the book's strength is its medium. The notion that comics are merely for children was buried long ago by Art Spiegelman's Maus, the Pulitzer Prize-winning work on the Holocaust, and its offspring, like Joe Sacco's Safe Area Gorazde, one of the best books on the Bosnian war. Not only do those books discuss serious subjects, but the images hone the message. In North Korea, photographers are severely restricted, and journalists use their limited access to poke tentatively at big issues like nuclear weapons, famines and economic reform.
