...spooky Halloween party, or its use of a Sorting Hat that speaks its musings aloud instead of whispering them conspiratorially into the wearer's ear, or its slight cuting up of the officious Hermione. All that is just grading papers. The big question is whether Columbus has found a potent kinetic equivalent to the book. We sigh...
...Sharif, a rebel charge was turned back by a Taliban counteroffensive because the Alliance's four rival commanders failed to coordinate their attacks.

Overusing these drugs, physicians have long warned, will permit resistant strains to flourish. One of the scariest examples is the appearance in 1997 of a particularly potent strain of staph bacteria resistant to vancomycin, which used to be the last line of defense.
