...anyone with a Harvard ID, it has over 10,000 individual comic books, and it sits in the Quincy House Library (the Qube), waiting for perusal.In large white binders filling numerous shelves in an alcove of the Qube are thousands of comic books parked in plastic sleeves. Inside those pages sit stories about Batman, Spider-Man, World War II adventurers, and any number of other action-packed tales from the world of comic books.For instance, there’s a yellowed copy of “World’s Finest”—a now-defunct series...

He does not make living with him easy for anyone. Not his super smart daughter, Vanessa (Ellen Page), doing a role reversal, in which she plays a sort of surrogate parent to him; not for Chuck, his feckless brother (hilariously played by Thomas Haden Church)- not for anyone who crosses his lurching path...

Samizdat versions are available, and some pro-democracy activists have been poring through the text to publicize what they contend are the myriad ways in which the constitution subverts true democratic principles. But even if the draft were widely available, the majority of Burma's 53 million mostly impoverished residents are hardly likely to sit down with a 15-chapter tome...
