...minute walk south to neighboring Kreuzberg is the Jewish Museum Berlin, the lightning bolt-shaped landmark of Jewish culture in Germany. (Tel. 87 85 68 1; Open every day from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.) The Holocaust is movingly dealt with, but the museum also encompasses nearly 2,000 years of Jewish culture in Germany.

Unless he's seen as coming down hard on any provocation over the temple issue, his coalition partners could bolt and remove him from power. And Vajpayee's international efforts to project the differences between secular, tolerant India and the more unstable and often extremist politics of neighboring Pakistan are challenged by the upsurge in communal violence...
...preparations for Gauguin's arrival at the Yellow House in Arles, where the Dutch painter hoped to create an artists' commune. The second Sunflowers, on loan from the Seiji Togo Memorial Yasuda Kasai Museum of Art in Tokyo, was painted a few months later on a piece of a bolt of burlap bought for Arles by Gauguin. It is curiously muted and its authenticity has been questioned, but extensive research in preparation for this exhibition indicates that the picture is indeed by Van Gogh...
