...biopsy of a suspicious growth in the 76-year-old senator's left parietal lobe revealed a malignant glioma, the most common type of brain tumor. It is diagnosed in some 25,000 Americans a year, and in 30% to 40% of cases, the first sign of the disease is a seizure - as was the case with Kennedy, who has been hospitalized since the weekend, but has not suffered another seizure. "Decisions regarding the best course of treatment for Senator Kennedy will be determined after further testing analysis," the senator's doctors said Tuesday in a statement. "He remains...

But the film never cohered, and at the end it trailed off into a preview of the two sequels that now don't look as if they'll be made. The first Narnia movie was middling-bad, its four lead child actors displaying little charm, their world holding...
