...best bet right now is Lycoris Desktop/LX, which costs a mere $29. Lycoris has done an excellent job of hiding all the scary jargon usually associated with Linux, and its desktop looks like Windows' identical twin. This is pretty amazing, given that it was created by five guys with no funding working around the corner from Microsoft in Redmond, Wash. Yet most basic needs are met right out of the box: programs compatible with Microsoft Office, Outlook, AOL Instant Messenger, Adobe Photoshop--and, of course, Tetris...
...rhetoric, though, Scowcroft and others would prefer to tone down the rhetoric. Eagleburger suggested last week that Perle and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz were maneuvering to commit the administration to attack Iraq simply to finish what was started in the Gulf War.

Conversely, adopted children with no genetic legacy for bipolar have a 2% chance of coming down with the condition if they are raised in a home with one nonbiological bipolar parent. Clearly, something is in play besides mere genes, and that something is environment. Raise a child in a steady and stable home, and you reduce the odds that the illness will gain a toehold, which is why counselors work hard to teach parents and kids how to minimize family discord...
...intrusion on Jason's pared-down style. Backgrounds include only enough to set the location. Shading, chiaroscuro, and other details have been eliminated with that Scandinavian eye for simplicity. The result feels like a kind of pure comics - just pictures that tell a story. But they also go beyond mere stories. Like the best of silent films, the lack of words turns Jason's book into a universally accessible meditation on the human condition. Likewise the use of animals as human stand-ins turns the tales into Aesop-like fables with a modern, existential twist. Imagine Buster Keaton in Henrik...
