...before 2002. (Imagine here a worldwide gnashing of teeth--baby, permanent and false.) But there will be two brief new, pseudonymous Rowling books coming this winter, based on titles in the Hogwarts library: Quidditch Through the Ages, by Kennilworthy Whisp, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, by Newt Scamander. Rowling will give the net proceeds to the Harry Potter Fund at Comic Relief U.K., a charity helping children in the developing world...

After that rebuff, green issues disappeared from his calendar.

...poll numbers are an eloquent testimony to the power of silence. After all, Netanyahu (like his pal Newt Gingrich) took himself off the scene entirely after his humiliating defeat by Barak only 18 months ago, and his support has grown largely on a wave of anxiety over Barak's handling of the Palestinian uprising. But he won't be able to translate that support into a comeback victory without the help of the legislature, or perhaps even the court.
