...With their hardcover bindings, thick paper stock and clean design, D&Q's long-form graphic novels defy preconceptions of what a comic should look like. These are keepsakes, not comics to be thrown away. Indeed, Oliveros, 38, has published nearly all of today's top talent, including Chris Ware, Joe Sacco and underground legend Robert Crumb. By showcasing national artists, he has almost single-handedly turned Canada into a major source of cartooning talent...
...editor, Oliveros is hands-off. "You can't really say to a cartoonist, 'This drawing on page 3, panel 4 is a bit weak,'" he says. And the talent appreciates that.

Belu had to fend off accusations in the Romanian press that the strict regime at Deva tipped over into exploitation and abuse of his athletes. Belu dismisses the charges by saying that training is "200% voluntary" and that he keeps "the door open for anyone who wants to leave...
...annual tuition at tiny Eureka College; he washed dishes to pay for his meals. Reagan had hardly arrived when the college's new president tried to cut back the faculty, so Reagan helped organize a student strike. In the process he developed his taste for audiences and his talent for oratory. "I discovered that night that an audience had a feel to it," he said of this first speech, "[and] that audience and I were together. When I came to actually presenting the motion ... there was no need for parliamentary procedure. They came to their feet with a roar...
