...otherwise never see. This year San Diego yielded two surprises. Sam Hiti's self-published "End Times - Tiempos Finales," is the first of a projected nine-volume series of graphic novels. Thanks to a Xeric grant, the fund that assists new comix creators, the professional-looking 116-page, square bound, three-color book was priced to move at a mere $10. The quick-paced story involves a Spanish-speaking demon-hunter named Mario Roman, who, summoned by the prayers of a plagued town, battles a giant monster. Well above average for such genre material, Hiti's strong graphic style...
...friendly, round-faced Walshe isn't someone you'll glimpse on one of Church's tours. Based in the bowels of the soon-to-be-demolished Olympic Stand, among shelves full of leather-bound books and a wall of two-way radios, it's Walshe on Monday mornings who activates the M.C.G. machine. The dusty books contain handwritten facts and figures about M.C.G. attendances going back to 1921; Walshe computerized this information during the '90s and continues to update it. By cross-referencing factors such as which teams are playing, their positions on the ladder, whether they're last-start...

Freed from the torturous reign of Iraq's former Olympic CEO, Uday Hussein, and spurred by a trickle of private investment in sports, several other Iraqis will join Ali as unlikely Olympians this summer. For the first time since 1988, Iraq's soccer team has qualified for the Olympics. Iraqi women's sports--destroyed under Uday's rule because athletes feared...
Seven current or former members of the Harvard men’s swimming and diving team vied for a spot on the Athens-bound squad, though each was downed in turn by the star-studded field...
...humdrum, confused life of mid-twentysomethings has a ready accomplice in the sprawling shopping malls and freeway-bound office parks of New Jersey, the stuff that nightmares and dreams are made of for the expanse of anonymous, white-housed suburbia that hums between the on-ramps. The staples of quiet, middle-class Garden State living are all here, sans the last PATH train back from the city. Like those who’ve never been, Largeman (we can imagine him telling his L.A. friends he grew up in New York) has no inclination to go back, only an obligation...
