There is little he can do at ground level to change the National Police - its recruiting and staffing are handled in Baghdad by the Shi'ite-dominated Ministry of Interior. "What's the long-term goal for what they're going to do with those guys?" Marr asked. "I don't really know...

We get a breakneck tour of the bowels of Gringotts and the interior of Malfoy Manor. (Her portrait of the Malfoys, the evil family who nevertheless love each other with a strange, sinister tenderness, is one of the unexpected pleasures of the late Potter books.)

...testing standards that FEMA and the Environmental Protection Agency used before they eventually came to the incorrect conclusion, as Paulison stated in May 2007, that "the formaldehyde does not present a health hazard." Trailers were left with windows ajar, air conditioning on and all vents open for days before interior air levels were tested for the gas - conditions that did not nearly approximate actual living conditions.
