Harry Permeates Popular Parlance

[Penny Linsenmayer]

Hi --

I'm hoping this won't be considered political as it really won't look
good for the List Mom to violate the "No politics" rules.  :--)  I
don't think it is.

The Newsweek cover story this week includes the following:

"President Bush has been warned by his advisers not to stake
everything on catching bin Laden.  The president toned down his early
'dead or alive' bluster and rarely mentions bin Laden by name.  But
Bush can't seem to restrain himself from personalizing the enemy.  At
his press conference last week, the president referred first to Al
Qaeda, then to the 'evildoers,' then to the 'the evil one.'  The
effect was to treat bin Laden like the wicked wizard Lord Voldemort in
the Harry Potter novels -- a force so menacing that he can only be
whispered about as 'He Who Must Not be Named.'"

So, who knows *where* you'll see HP pop up next!
