...hype. Snippets of the Tolkien film enthralled viewers at Cannes this May. And the Potter trailer is a smash. Hogwarts looks like a wizard's dream come to life; Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson look just right as Harry, Ron and Hermione; Maggie Smith and Richard Harris lend their veteran charisma to the Hogwarts faculty. We can't say if these films will realize their ambitions--pride always comes before the fall. But isn't it lovely to be able to anticipate two huge feats of movie magic...
...would never have become a heart surgeon because they weren't that far advanced in heart surgery in England. The fourth was when I was studying general surgery under Professor Owen Wangensteen at the University of Minnesota. One day I was invited to lend a hand on work on a heart-lung machine. That's when I became fascinated by open-heart surgery. That's what led me back to South Africa to run my own cardiac-surgery unit, and to the 1967 heart transplant.

...Pistols to Eminem, pop has long been as much about theater as music. Pop stars assume fictional personalities (Sgt.

...even Bingham admits the DMCA may have "trampled on" a very important part of copyright law: fair use. You have the right to lend or copy parts of any paper-and-glue book you own, but you can't do the same with an e-book without the express permission of the publisher. This is one reason, e-book veterans say, that the industry has been slow to take off. Reading on a screen is a hassle anyway; why put up with all the extra legal barriers...
