...Wooed by a Worm Lev Grossman wrote that the Storm Worm "may be the most sophisticated" computer virus, called it "a marvel of social engineering" and further admired it for its longevity, mutability and what he called its "lively feel for the seductive come-on" [Oct. 8]. He needs to rub the dazzle from his eyes. What if the authors of the virus are functionaries for China, Russia or a Middle Eastern country testing the efficacy of new software?

...Lev Grossman's "The Doubting Harry" [July 23]: My generation is plugged into iPods, phones and Facebook yet disconnected from everything but apathy. Harry Potter is a modern reminder that teenagers are capable of more than what our materialistic society tells them they are. In her series, Rowling brings ideals and virtue to Harry's tortured and disillusioned realm.
