...Zero? Why not a globe," asks the author. Unlike much 9/11-related art, including many comix (see carets above for TIME.comix coverage), No Towers takes exceptional interest in the political consequences of a political act that is often dumbed down to a mere "attack on freedom." It's a strong tonic to the otherwise sentimental tributes. Working through his anger, Spiegelman comes up with searing images like the one where Bush and Cheney ride a giant eagle with a "Let's Roll!" whoop, while slitting its throat with a box cutter...
...have the Indians paved the way for my good times, and for other wazangu—white people, colloquially—as well. With my gin and tonic in hand (the quinine helps to prevent malaria, I’m told), decent tea and coffee at my disposal, even cheeseburgers and kippers, donning khaki and a Panama straw hat, it’s easy to forget myself, history major that I am, and fall into the thinking that it’s 1954, and not decades later.

Concerns that China's economy is rising too fast are intensifying, and efforts by Beijing to let some of the air out of the balloon before it bursts have so far proved ineffective.

MEANWHILE IN THE U.K. ... Anyone for a Drink? The University of Manchester admitted employing a man who'd earlier been jailed for attempting to poison his wife. His new job: lecturer on medical ethics. Paul Agutter was convicted in 1995 of lacing his wife's gin and tonic with deadly atropine. To cover his tracks, he placed bottles of tonic water spiked with the poison on supermarket shelves. The University said it had followed "due process" in the appointment...
