Comment by Martin Wattenberg: "The key section of the source code, for me, was not an algorithm or subroutine but rather the dedication on line 1, which glues the pieces of his collage into an emotional whole."

Comment by Scott Snibbe: "I have a friend who regularly reads the online version of Pravda and manages to widen his point of view. I'm stuck in a rut reading the NYTimes each day. A piece like yours reminds me that I could read any point of view at all on a given day -- from South Africa, Pakistan, China, etc. But my mind is the block to doing so -- realizing that it's possible. Your piece is that reminder. The 3 layers are also well used -- by using newspaper sites, I'm reminded of printing offset and overprint errors. The rhythm of the code is nice and simple - like 3 chords : absolute; left: 0px absolute; left: 200px absolute; left: 400px "
