Freshmen Tim Hagamen and David Jakas placed third and sixth, respectively, in the men’s saber, while fellow freshmen Chloe Stinetorf and Anne Austin secured fourth and sixth place finishes in the women’s foil...
...evil who drips with malevolence. He is but one example of the pitch-perfect casting and superbly restrained performances delivered by the supporting cast, which is a cavalcade of British acting luminaries. Dame Maggie Smith returns as the cantankerous yet kindly Professor McGonagall, while Robbie Coltrane provides a comic foil as the lovably gruff gamekeeper Hagrid.

Branagh positively revels in Lockhart’s self-obsessed dandy...

Labs for cooking up new toxins and germs are mounted on specially converted commercial trucks that cruise Iraqi highways to foil pursuers. "His weapons-of-mass-destruction capabilities are mobile," Rumsfeld said last week. "They can be hidden from inspectors no matter how intrusive." Hardest of all to get rid of are the notebooks and computer hard drives filled with biochem recipes and nuclear designs that Saddam's scientists have compiled...
