...Carol Swain has one of the most unique and compelling styles in comix. "Foodboy" will give you the chills. Even the cover features a depopulated, snowy landscape with a trail of footprints leading off into the distance. Cool and natural, it perfectly represents the book: a muted pastoral that holds within it an unquiet human heart...
...Roslynn Mauskopf. "Thirty-five defendants are facing 23 murder or attempted-murder charges." Rapid-fire indictments have scooped up Bonannos from Staten Island to the Bronx. In addition to squeezing informants and clocking countless hours of surveillance, two C-10 agents used "forensic accounting" techniques to follow a paper trail through Massino's murky bookkeeping. The knockout blow was delivered in September, when James (Big Lou) Tartaglione recorded acting Bonanno boss Anthony (Tony Green) Urso allegedly conspiring to murder the families of Bonannos who were cooperating with the encroaching G-men. "Why should rats' kids be happy where my kids...
...Cheney's statements. I'm more concerned about the snide, dismissive, undignified quality of the Vice President's performance. He set the ugly, personal tone for the week, for the coordinated attacks on Clarke's character and motives. (The merits of Clarke's case were confirmed by the paper trail unearthed by the 9/11 commission's staff.) But the public seems to have tired of the Vice President's act. According to a Fox News poll last week, Cheney has an approval rating of 35%-and my guess is that the Administration has got the worst of the Clarke exchange...

That discovery harked back to the hours after the attacks in New York City and Washington on Sept. 11, 2001, when a rental car was found in the parking lot of Boston's Logan airport containing flight manuals in Arabic. That vehicle was the start of the trail that led American investigators to al-Qaeda. The van in Alcala de Henares was another piece of evidence that pointed to Islamic radicals rather than Basque terrorists...
...channeled through a Michelob ad. Clapton's vocals don't help matters. You can tell he's ecstatic to be covering his idol, but his exuberance increases the disconnection between the music and the material. Johnson was one dark dude; when he sang "There's a hellhound on my trail" you believed him. When Clapton sings the same line you wonder if the hound's name is Patches. Me and Mr. Johnson never feels urgent. The only genuine emotion Clapton musters is reverence. Aerosmith has never revered anything but its own double entendres, which gives it a distinct creative advantage...
