A fruitful breaktime

^{Modified front page of a famous newspaper the day after a huge attack happened in a big city. The main title is not the original of course. It is taken with permission from a note written by a NewYorker who was living in Lower Manhattan. The Masthead is also fictious.}

With no other reason than it was my breaktime, I decided to go check The Globe And Mail. Then I went to stroll along and stopped at NOW, the Toronto equivalent of, say, The Village Voice, as if I was physically in TO.
There wasn't anything much, except the archives kept inviting me to go and take a look. So I did. Looking at the titles for each week I stumbled upon an issue with an interview of Art Spiegelman, author of Maus I and II. Glad I did. I did not know he published a book on "9-11". I should have guessed perhaps.
In the interview as well as in the book he speaks vehemently against Bush and the news media which all crawled beneath the chesterfield after September 11, 2001. He found himself rather alone and ostracized even by the New Yorker which employed him for 10 years prior. A must read...
