In Shakespearean tragic tones, here’s what you’ve got coming: “Something’s rotten in the State of the Middle East”—The George Clooney-Matt Damon vehicle “Syriana” expands into national release, and a kaleidoscopic story chronicling the nasty effects of the global oil industry couldn’t have come at a better time...

Conversely, Worm is disgusted when Spider molts. Spider, much like his young readers, is a little guy trying to learn how to navigate the world. He dreams of soaring on the wind to faraway places like his grandpa, who one day floats across the ocean to Paris...
