...small backyard recording studio in the Berlin neighborhood of Neukölln, known for its large, mainly Turkish, immigrant population, the two ministers joined forces with 23-year-old German Turkish singer Muhabbet to record the pro-immigration hymn Deutschland. Senior politicians rarely visit the troubled neighborhood, much less show up to sing a duet. But if the two men in suits were feeling awkward, they certainly didn't let it show. Steinmeier smiled and grooved to the music - a mixture of Turkish folk and R&B which Muhabbet calls "R 'n' Besk" - while Kouchner rhythmically snapped his fingers...

Signs of a U.S. effort to make nice could come with some new concession on the environment or on the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and broader issues of human rights...

Many cities and towns are understandably opposed to a casino in their jurisdictions; traffic problems and a touristy atmosphere would almost certainly accompany the thousands of day-trippers. Therefore, we favor building the casinos as resorts, removed from locals who understandably do not want a casino in their backyard. When considering developers’ proposals, Patrick should consider their impacts on communities and reject any plan that alters a town at the expense of its residents.
