...that actually happened, of course, the mastodon would squash you flat. The Viacom-CBS deal is about translating media distribution into ad dollars, and in the current world, CBS's TV, radio, billboard and Web properties will make the new Viacom a promotional and marketing juggernaut. Viacom, says PaineWebber analyst Chris Dixon, "is clearly going to be on the cutting edge of any kind of ad spending that's being done across all media...

Rowling has been dropping increasingly pointed promises that the four remaining Harry Potter books will turn darker than the first three. "There will be deaths," she says. "I am writing about someone, Voldemort, who is evil. And rather than make him a pantomime villain, the only way to show how evil it is to take a life is to kill someone the reader cares about."
