...fantastic to the mundane, as in Ganges's opening tale, "Time Traveling." It starts with Ganges taking a walk to the library on an early spring day. As he strolls, he reminisces about doing the same thing at the same time the previous year. The following panel, with a note in the corner saying "Last spring," exactly mimics the panel preceding. Was it a flash back or did Glenn actually appear in the past for a moment? Does the memory of a thing constitute a kind of reality so that we can be said to be "time traveling" when...

Chanel spent several hundred thousand dollars on a single evening's festivities to announce its entry into India, and Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, Gucci and the others are on their...
...There will always be absolutists who believe that any limits on research are born of ignorance or superstition, squaring off against those who note that you can?t spell science without s-i-n. But for everyone else caught between the hope for new cures, and fears of powers that, once unleashed, would forever change the very nature of our humanity, these are hard questions, more than worthy of the President?s time, and our attention...
