...tailor-made for busy Parisians in search of a lunchtime snack and a little something to take home for supper. Visiting New Yorkers contemplating its bright display cases and rows of prepacked salads may recognize Be as a deli. But with its natural stonework, low-key lighting and spray-finished zinc, it's a deli with a decidedly French flair. You won't find any six-packs of Budweiser, but you will be able to pick up a '98 Meursault for €107 a bottle. And for once the sandwiches are excellent...
Imagine this scenario: terrorists release an airborne, antibiotic-resistant strain of anthrax in a major European capital. Without vaccines or antitoxins to reduce fatalities, the public is largely unprotected. But the government quickly dispenses a new nasal spray that puts people's immune systems into overdrive, protecting them not only against anthrax but a whole range of pathogens, including many of the deadly bioterrorist agents that governments believe are most likely to be used.

...night before Halloween and two days before my still-unfinished Harvard application is due. The next morning, our entire senior class will show up to school in costume. While some are donning Backstreet Boys and Baywatch outfits, my friends and I are making our purple capes and spray painting our broomsticks silver. With the anxiety of senior year upon me, Harry is even more bewitching. The application waits until my costume is done...
