...striking material, what sets "Diary" apart from other books about teenage girls is the art. In a typically daring move that will be sure to alienate both strict comix fans and non-comix readers alike, "Diary" is "an account in words and pictures," as the subtitle says. Mostly text, it reads like the diary of an artistically precocious teenager, including copious illustrations and occasionally turning into full-on comix. Some of the art is original to the time, but most of the it has been added by the adult Gloeckner...
...although there is still a slight lag. When I tested MSN 8, I was pleasantly surprised that less than a third of the spam I received landed in my In box; the rest was automatically funneled to the junk mailbox. MSN 8 also provides automated virus checking and full-text search for messages in your In box. AOL 8's mail, on the other hand, is mostly playing catch-up; the program only now auto-completes addresses after you type in the first few letters (something MSN has done for years...
Google's news service takes a similar approach. Its algorithms scan more than 4,000 news publications to build a rolling list of current headlines linked to the articles' text.

Rather, as your explanatory text noted, teacher Liz Morrison was making an effort to engage her students in a discussion of the Sept. 11 attacks. Morrison is a beloved, well-respected teacher who has spearheaded patriotic campaigns to raise money for a World War II veterans memorial and to register voters. In reporting that two-thirds of the students raised their hands, you perpetuated the media's negative stereotype of teenagers...
...Fairy, Braschi, co-screenwriter Cerami and soundtrack composer Nicola Piovani, all of whom worked with him on Life is Beautiful. From the start Benigni has said he wanted to produce a literal version of Pinocchio. Italian critics exiting the preview noted that he had certainly been faithful to the text, but wondered whether his onscreen antics didn't pale beside Benigni's own adventures last week, which were classic Collodi. Benigni used to be applauded as a scourge of the Italian establishment, but many of his fans are now starting to wonder whether the impish director isn't forgetting...
