...shift in his life won't occur until later this month, when he has to go around the world to the various premieres for the film, seeing all the places he meticulously crafted on his computer but never actually visited, like Radio City Music Hall. And you just know, somehow, compared with the world he built, it's going to disappoint...
...problem is shaky, his groping toward a solution is worse. When Spiegelman compares Osama bin Laden to Ignatz, the cheeky brick-throwing mouse from George Herriman's Krazy Kat, the mind recoils in dismay.

The two swimmers also helped Australia's women to finish ahead of their U.S. counterparts in the country rankings, thanks to their team's world-record breaking performances in the 100-m freestyle and 100-m medley relays. And the exploits of newcomers such as Lisbeth Lenton, Alice Mills and Jessicah Schipper, and more experienced performers such as breaststrokers Brooke Hanson...
