...Eugeners are headed to Genoa this week, despite their anticapitalist bent; they're too busy at home. Local anarchists broadcast a weekly radio program and two cable-television shows. They publish half a dozen 'zines, from Black-Clad Messenger to F___ the System, the new jailhouse rag from Free and Critter, and Rob the Rich!, published by prisoner Robert Thaxton, who was sentenced to seven years for injuring a Eugene policeman with a rock in a June 1999 riot. And the town is home to one of the movement's celebrities, anarcho-primitivist philosopher John Zerzan, who visited Unabomber...
...Under pressure from propaganda officials, Guangzhou-based Southern Weekend this month sacked three editors and effectively downgraded itself from the sassiest read in China to a rag as bland as the People's Daily. It's the latest casualty in the Communist Party's battle against the nation's increasingly independent-minded media, a clash that's linked to an internal power struggle over who will assume top party positions in a reshuffle expected next year.

...volatile nature of the rag trade can make victims of even the most committed fashion houses. Remember Alaia? Thierry Mugler? No? Why should you: they were staples for the bodycon youth of the early '90s but those brands just couldn't keep up with kawaii. The light-speed caprice of these Japanese teens has created a host of new challenges for Takai and 109's other designers: how to keep a label's signature style intact without it suddenly seeming as last year as, well, platform boots. Often, brands like Esperanza, which now hype their high-heeled mules instead...
