...Mambo's new HQ, Kingsmill snared a warehouse-style set-up in North Manly, in the heart of Sydney's surf scene. For their $7 million, the new owners acquired the Mambo brand everywhere except the European Union, as well as the nine Australian stores, which Sydney architect Kelvin Ho will refurbish, Kingsmill says, with a "gallery-type feel...

The result of this case and any cases that follow could very well dictate the long-term direction of the Turkish state. With a large military and ambition to join the European Union, a rebound and triumph of secularism, or the rise of an increasingly Islamic agenda could have ramifications extending across Europe and even back home to the United States, where the political discourse revolves around anti-Islamic name-calling. With our election at hand, Americans should look to Turkey...
