Your story on Bush's re-election efforts inspired me to think of a good slogan for the new campaign: "Let's really win in 2004!" DAVID HAUN Austin, Texas...
...neighborhood in miniskirts suddenly dons a full-length chador. The war with Iraq begins, but the cancers within seem almost as toxic as the bombs outside. Satrapi's mother puts up black curtains to prevent the neighbors from spying on their illegal card games. Satrapi is struck by a slogan on a wall: "To die a martyr is to inject blood into the veins of society." The book ends when Satrapi is sent off by her parents to Austria, where she will find herself free but utterly alone. (A sequel about this excruciating adjustment is out in France...
...chronic Democratic woe: lousy bumper stickers. The Republicans can trot out three two-word killers--STRONG DEFENSE, LOWER TAXES AND TRADITIONAL VALUES.

Young Internet surfers have inundated chat rooms with a new slogan: "Keep it up, Brother Hu." The message echoed calls nearly two decades earlier when students championed the newly promoted reformist leader Deng Xiaoping by chanting en masse, "Hello, Xiaoping." The support of politically active youth helped cement Deng's authority, and students today hope to do the same for Hu. "We need to show our support for Hu Jintao, because if he becomes weak...
