• Christmas Music List

  Ahh, Christmas music. Or should I say, "muzak." You've all heard it, the cheesy oft times annoying drivel you hear walking through the mall, or even in coffee shops, that tell us of jingling bells, sleigh rides, dreams about white christmases, and stories of overweight bearded men who seem to know everything about your children.

• the seventies| growing up in london during the race riots

  Northeast London in the seventies was not the place to be if you wanted a peaceful or normal life. It was a time of great strife caused truly by a few - mostly the racist skins, who were just starting to flex their prejudicial muscles and take it out on the large West African and Indian immigrants who had moved recently into the neighborhoods that were once upon a time, all white. At the time i lived in Northeast London, it was by then, a largely black and Indian community and we were one of two white families living in the thick of what would soon become a kind of hell on earth. Here is part of the story, and while there are many stories to tell, i share with you today only this one. -- sadi ranson-polizzotti

  OK, the art suffers a little at the end under Lim's direction, and the plot's kinda hokey, but for about a week I picked up a graphic novel and really enjoyed myself.
