Every appearance by Chinese leaders is political. They enter rooms in single file according to rank, and newspapers place photos of senior officials higher on the page than those of lesser rivals. So strict are the rules that when Hu Jintao took over as Party chief from Jiang Zemin two years ago, Beijing's print media waited four hours for instructions from propaganda officials on whose picture to run at the top. (They ran side by side.) The two leaders are now thought to be jockeying for power; Jiang remains chairman of the Central Military Commission, and a key Party...
...newspaper comic motif also smartly matches the form of No Towers. The German newspaper that originally commissioned the project gave Spiegelman an unheard-of deal in these days of ever-shrinking funnies: an entire full-color page with total editorial freedom. The book nearly replicates their original monumental size on super thick cardstock paper. You read each strip horizontally across two pages but thanks to the clever binding, each strip lies flat, without an annoying gutter in the middle...
...years ago, a young mayor from sydney's western suburbs began sending unsolicited articles to the opinion page of the Australian newspaper.

But he did want to make his name on the same page by offering solutions to problems. Here was a player, not a critic. In that sense, Latham has more in common with John Howard than either would dare to admit...
...After some careful research that involved flipping past the first page of the newspaper, I read that alleged Republican musicians include Alice Cooper, Gene Simmons, the surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Foghat, Charlie Daniels, Johnny Ramone, Ted Nugent and Kid Rock. It was, admittedly, going to be a slightly creepy concert, in terms of makeup and facial hair. My first call as tour manager was to Nuge, the guitarist who penned Cat Scratch Fever and is now a right-wing hunter. I contacted Tedquarters in Jackson, Miss. - which is in charge of all things Nuge, such...
