...Although your article correctly pointed to the booming human population and a failure to safeguard big cats in wildlife preserves as reasons for the cats' declining numbers, it neatly avoided a matter-of-fact discussion of the only solution that is not a mere stopgap: finding a way to curb the world's rapidly spiraling population-growth rate. Until we are able to control human overpopulation, any species that competes with Homo sapiens for space and food is doomed. Karla Kellenberger Stow...

...sprout out of the embers of Ground Zero? Why not a globe," asks the author. Unlike much 9/11-related art, including many comix (see carets above for TIME.comix coverage), No Towers takes exceptional interest in the political consequences of a political act that is often dumbed down to a mere "attack on freedom." It's a strong tonic to the otherwise sentimental tributes. Working through his anger, Spiegelman comes up with searing images like the one where Bush and Cheney ride a giant eagle with a "Let's Roll!" whoop, while slitting its throat with a box cutter...
