On other news...

* Americans could identify J.K. Rowling's fictional boy wizard as Harry Potter, while only 50 percent could name the British prime minister, Tony Blair.

* Three-quarters of Americans can correctly identify two of Snow White's seven dwarfs while only a quarter can name two U.S. Supreme Court Justices.

No, there were only three.  Just Moe, Larry and Curly.  Shemp, Curley Joe, and Joe Dirita don't count.  (I might be tempted to allow Shemp, since he was a Howard.)
