...Bill and Fleur's wedding, you may recall, was attacked by deatheaters. But this wedding night was uneventful - even the lights of the Druze and Arab villages twinkled benignly in the hills. At one point in the evening, a gregarious Lubavitcher named Shalom Pasternak, who sings in a band he created with my cousin called Kabbalah Dream Orchestra, was helping my cousin dispense shots of whisky and blessings to his friends and family. With his beautiful bride, and - let's face it - some fascinating friends, he was every bit the Half-Blood Prince. We were all glad...
...Adjustments go beyond tailored birthday cake recipes. A 2001 FAAN study of 253 parents of children with food allergies found that childhood allergies have a significant impact on family activities and lifestyles.

...expects to get through this summer on donations, but, he says: "Come the fall, the entire archive just might have to go. The landlords have been nice enough, but the market is the market, and this apartment may yield a better rent." Prominent Russians, such as writer Yevgeny Pasternak, son of Boris Pasternak, and Irina Arkhipova, president of the International Music Union, have called upon the public to help, but no financial savior has yet emerged. "No memory survives without the material evidence," says Matsov, gravely...
...phone!" The amount of money at stake was trivial to someone as wealthy as Stewart, who had previously sold 20% of her ImClone holdings. Yet Martha is famously tightfisted and, as testimony showed, an extremely demanding client. She was traveling to a resort in Mexico with her friend Mariana Pasternak. But through a series of phone calls she learned what Waksal was up to. She called Faneuil, who told her Bacanovic thought she might like to act on the information, which she soon did. Pasternak testified that Stewart later said to her, "Isn't it nice to have brokers...
