...strip that ran in the London Evening News between 1953 and 1958. It was syndicated then, but has never been published since - until now. In the comic strip, the Moomin family strays far from the tranquil charms of Moominvalley: on the French Riviera, Moominpappa gets drunk and Moomin's sweetheart, the Snork Maiden, is seduced by a toothy film star. But then the hattifatteners appear - mute, sock-like animals that grow from seeds and chase after electric storms. There's the discovery of a chestful of swearwords (they have legs) and, at one point, the gentle Moomin is forced...
...hero, villain and narrator of Nabokov's Lolita. Each is a well-born lad cruising through an idyllic youth that is capsized when he is separated from the girl he loves. But whereas Humbert gets locked in a time warp, incapable of loving any female older than his childhood sweetheart Annabel Leigh, Hannibal transfers his love to Lady Murasaki. This knowing, generous woman has awakened the man in a boy, and the book's real suspense is not over whether Hannibal will find the killers but whether he'll consummate his adolescent yearning for his lovely aunt, and she will...

What does she talk about? Her life, of course! From her iconic role as Princess Leia (remember the "bagel braid" hairdo?) in Star Wars...
...that banality, some photo albums consist entirely of photos of the creator. A girl I vaguely know recently uploaded 40 or so photos she had taken of herself in an album she entitled, “Shameless Vanity.” A nice effort to poke fun at yourself, sweetheart, but we all know better—you didn’t need to point out the shameless vanity...
...America's new spandexed sweetheart has big wheels to fill - you've won one, now go get six more (and at least a few against the big guns like Basso and Ullrich, when, and if, they can race again). Though Landis's tale doesn't include a return from cancer, his gutsy comeback, while enduring searing hip pain, gives it some Lance-like back-from-the-brink flair. Landis, an Armstrong domestique before a somewhat acrimonious split last year, had a social, not a medical, obstacle to contend with - his conservative Mennonite upbringing in Pennsylvania, where his parents eschewed television...
