...White House aide. "Sure, if Saddam gets a personality transplant." The White House continues to insist Saddam possesses weapons of mass destruction, and whether or not the inspectors find any, the U.S. says it will not let Saddam off the hook until the dictator conclusively proves that none exist--which almost surely will never happen. As a senior official put it, "The President hasn't said he'll go to war at all costs. But he has said he'll disarm Saddam at all costs. The handicapping around here is that Saddam will be Saddam; he isn't going...
...says Surreal Life producer Cris Abrego. The Osbournes "made it possible for us to talk to celebrities," he says. "Five or six years ago, reality TV was a bad word."

Writing seems a fairly poor method for relating a memoir. For most of us, memories exist as visual experiences. As such, a more exact duplication of memory would require the use of a visual medium. Movies, obviously, would be one way, though cost and production are prohibitive. But painting and other static visual media have 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...
