...LAMPERT, 88, original illustrator of superhero the Flash, nemesis of such bad guys as the Thinker and the Shade; in Boca Raton, Fla. Lampert and writer Gardner Fox first introduced the "fastest man alive" in 1940 as the Golden Age of comic books was just unfolding. Their Flash--a scientist who could morph into a red-and-blue--clad speedster with a winged helmet--was an immediate hit. But Lampert, who preferred drawing gags for Esquire and the Saturday Evening Post, left after a few issues, later founding an award-winning ad agency...
...Greens are a chief target of the family-values lobby, which is thrilled that they've lost the balance of power in the Senate. Not only are the Greens the chief heirs of the '60s, notes Michael Hogan, a political scientist at the University of Sydney, they are also "almost an anti-Christian party."

Dowd had designed the strategy for targeting voters, and the exit polls were undermining his every theory. It would take him six long hours to crack the code. When the actual vote counts started coming...
...court ruling may thus turn out to be a pyrrhic victory for the party's opponents. "In the short term, the Vlaams Blok will profit from this conviction," says Carl Devos, a political scientist at Ghent University. "It gives them an excellent excuse to abandon more radical positions, then play the underdog to the voters by saying, 'We've been convicted for saying what you think.'" Such a makeover could help the party to solidify its support - without any real change in its odious message...
