...summer comix reading list. The biggest draw at the festival must have been Craig Thompson?s ?Blankets? (Top Shelf; $29.95). A giant, 500+ page graphic novel about growing up in Wisconsin, it has generated a tremendous amount of buzz, causing swarms of people to hover around the artist and his mountain of books. A deep and powerful work, it tells the story of a teenager growing up in an austere, fundamentalist Christian family. His struggles with faith and self-identity mix a tale of first love set in the snowy lands of Middle America. It?s already a must-have...

She won acclaim on Broadway in Cole Porter's 1950 musical Out of This World, and after her Met debut in 1951--four years before Marian Anderson's celebrated debut there--went on to principal roles in such operas as Aida and Carmen...
...hearing of mullahs or cops looking to shake down a few rich kids. Ecstasy and ketamine are the drugs of choice. Back home in their mansions, the ?lite space out in other ways, too: staring for hours at the TV. "What we have is the satellite television culture," says artist Unvar Shafi Khan. Amin agrees. "It's never about individuality. Women in their 40s say, 'Make me look like Dynasty [a 1980s soap opera],' and their daughters want their hair styled like the girls' in Friends," says Amin...
