...answer to the nation's transportation problems clearly lies neither in an expansion of aviation nor in putting more cars on additional highways. My choice would be the oldest mode of the three: rail. It is not a sentimental or nostalgic choice. The aviation industry, like the vast infrastructure for cars, is dangerously overbuilt. In recent years aviation has sucked regional boosters into ill-conceived drives for more airports and more flights, even short ones--all at immense expense...
...similar razzing at the hands of Mr. Crumb. Fritz the Cat, happy-go-lucky and free lovin' until getting offed by his crazy ostrich girlfriend, became iconic of the sixties and seventies. The new volume of "Complete Crumb," which covers his work from the mid-1980s, includes strips with Mode O'Day, an archetype of that era's material-obsessed superficiality. But "The Hipman," sad to say, seems a bit out of touch. Mullets? That was so early nineties. It reads like the work of an expatriot...

Mmm-mm, feels good!"), desperate anticipation ("Hold me, baby! Well, I wants to love you like a lover should!") and obsessive-compulsive behavior ("I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumb!") - the comic intensity of JLL's glissandous vocal underlines, not undermines...
...what, exactly, will people really want to see on a portable 5-cm screen? "Lingerie," suggests T-Mobile's Tube station ads. That may just be a bit of mildly naughty fun, but a 2001 survey of users of i-mode, the popular Japanese wireless Web service, found that 77% of those aged 20 to 40 received e-mail from porn sites on their phones. Already in the U.K., Playboy has been busy putting together deals with networks to provide, ahem, content. "In the early days on the content side, I think [sex] will be a big, big driver," says...
