...time the survivors have gone to ground at a safe house, the tone for much of the rest of the book has been set. Ron, Harry and Hermione are on the run together, as we always knew they would be, both hunting and being hunted, fighting, sprinting for cover, holing up for precious panting downtime, "three teenagers in a tent whose only achievement was not, yet, to be dead." The transformation from schoolboys and girls to resistance fighters is complete: they are a three-person magical special-ops squad, bent on finding and destroying Horcruxes using what little high-school...
...Canadian who follows the American political scene closely, I was shocked and dismayed by your President's decision to meddle in the Scooter Libby case. What a sorry example for American youth. It is apparently O.K. to lie to cover your backside and that of your boss.

Some feminists charge that burqas in any form are offensive to women.

"If you hire five people at the same time, they all start going to lunch together," says president Ken Olivier, a member of the U.S.-stocks committee. And as years passed, there might not have been enough promotions...
...barely 10 years old. And today it represents a pastiche of identities in a region riven by multiple conflicts. The lead singer is Ethiopian, one of the front men is staunch Muslim who prays regularly, even while the girls in the band wear jeans and don't bother to cover their heads in their music videos (they do cover their hair when moving around in public places). Not the sort of group that would find a place within traditional Somali society. The rebellious spirit extends to their lyrics, which deal frankly with issues many Somalis prefer to avoid discussing...
