...limited narrative possibilities. Comix therefore, offer the perfect vehicle for memoir, being not only inexpensive, but combining both the visual and narrative components essential to conjuring up the past. Two recent books, one about growing up with a disabled brother, the other about living through the collapse of the Twin Towers, offer lessons in this underrated method of relating personal history...
...Zionism came to describe the country's effort to build an individualistic, high-tech economy. Most Israelis hoped their country would become like anyplace else: ordinary, boring and safe. But two years of violent intifadeh - bloody Israeli occupation of West Bank towns and frequent Palestinian suicide bombings, like the twin attacks in Tel Aviv that claimed 22 lives on Jan. 5 - have snapped Israelis back into the mixture of nationalism and fear at the root of Zionism.

Martha Stewart was dented and scuffed. Tyco was looted by its own executives. Enron and WorldCom turned out to be Twin Towers of false promises. They fell. Their stockholders and employees went down with them. So did a large measure of public faith in big corporations. Each new offense seemed to make the same point: with communism vanquished, capitalism was left with no real enemies but its own worst impulses...
