Barrymore made her first movie splash as the wide-eyed little girl who befriended E.T. 16 years ago, which qualifies her as a sort of cool elder sister for the new group of Hollywood teens. With a stream of increasingly grownup movie parts, she's not a bad role model. After a 1996 cameo in Scream and a perky co-starring role in The Wedding Singer, she stars in Ever After, a sweet feminist remake of Cinderella that opens this weekend, and plays a pregnant fast-food clerk in the quirky black comedy Home Fries, coming later this year...
...ahead of him. Miller's nurses had turned up no food or other contaminant all the victims had shared. This left only two possibilities: "Water and air," Breuer says, "two things epidemiologists hate." A contamination of this kind was a hit-and-run affair; the bacterial colonies could stream into a community, do their damage and flow out of the ecosystem in a matter of days, before the epidemiologists could even get their equipment unpacked...

There are so many vessels that the traffic splits up, as on a highway: downstream vessels keep to the left of the stream, upstream vessels keep to the right-hand side, as the chaos of China's interior inexorably gives way to the more ordered march to prosperity of the coastal regions...
