...character after the books have already been published. But it is precisely because Rowling has waited this long that her revelation will have such a great effect. She has tricked the homophobes into loving and mourning for a man whom they would have just as easily dismissed as monster or freak had they known his secret earlier. She has implicitly shown that sexuality need not be the defining characteristic of a wizard, that it does not correspond to some standard stereotype—and in doing so, she has moved beyond “gay pride” and towards...
...Steve and Andrew are tremendous athletes, and [Doug Hewlett]...They certainly disrupted some things and they had a great game.” The secondary as a whole has been making trouble for Ivy and Patriot League foes alike, and Williams has been turning heads with his monster stats. He came into the weekend leading Division I-AA in pass defenses and ranked fourth on the list in interceptions.

Her very public criticism of the the same industry that had made her rich and famous, calling it in her 1991 autobiography Body and Soul a "monster selling unattainable dreams," would come back to haunt her. Although Roddick stepped down as co-chair of The Body Shop in 2002 (while staying on as a consultant), she was still accused of selling out, both the company and her principles, when The Body Shop was sold to L'Oreal last...
