...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. "It's a pretty simple arrangement," says Brown. "I do the work and send it to them, and they publish it." Given Oliveros' demanding taste, the D&Q roster is small and top-notch. "I have always believed that there is just not that much good work out there," says Oliveros. For that reason he expects D&Q to grow, but not much. "That," he says, "would go against...
...They thought the only reason they lost the election to Jimmy Carter was Watergate. They thought they had found a formula to describe us in a way that would basically move us out of consideration with the American people, rooted in the receding memory of the '60s.

"We can wait until the money runs out. We have fought them for 27 years. We can fight on for three times that long until the Indonesians finally get tired and go home." But given the rate at which people are dying or fleeing the province, there will be far fewer Acehnese left...
...between al-Qaeda and sympathizers in the security forces are rising. The House of Saud itself is riven with factions. Progress on critical issues - security, democracy, women's rights - has been hampered for close to a decade, since a stroke left King Fahd unable to govern. The government's weak response to the Khobar attack, says a Western analyst in Saudi Arabia, is in part the result of rivalries among the senior princes who control the army, national guard and police - "here you are dealing with different princely fiefdoms," he says. Saudi officials insist that al-Qaeda...
