...creative team may be new, but the cast is old, and Yates manages to pull the most mature performances yet from his young stars. True, they are growing up, and (with the exception of Emma Watson, who is far too lovely to be playing the bushy-haired Hermione) looking more like author J. K. Rowling’s character descriptions with each passing installment. But no matter how experienced or gifted the cast, chemistry and sensitivity like this can’t happen without a strong director...
...practice contrary to the basic tenets of the faith (hence the need for inverted commas). This condemnation must take practical shape. Parents must be vigilant against the radicalization of their children; congregations must reject radical preachers who claim the mimbar (pulpit); the wider community must be ready to cast from its midst those plotting and carrying out criminal acts.

...original parts. The firm's reman engineers now work closely with designers to produce components that will be easy and profitable to revitalize years later. "That's an absolute key," says Fisher.

From 2,000 armed observers last summer, UNIFIL today stands at some 13,500 troops drawn from 30 nations, including European heavyweights such as France, Italy and Spain. It even includes a naval component to prevent arms being smuggled into Lebanon by sea. UNIFIL's mandate is to assist the Lebanese army in securing Lebanon's volatile southern frontier in accordance with U.N. Resolution 1701, which helped end last summer's 34-day war. "The mission has been...
