Mehmet Farac, an expert on Turkey's Muslim militants, says the group may have linked up with al-Qaeda planners over the past year to help it regain ground lost since its leader, Huseyin Velioglu, was killed in a police shoot-out in 2000.

South Pacific was plainly an amateur production—I will spare you my tirade against the horn section—but the expert vision of Galper and Rubins held it together; the duo knows what entertainment is all about. This was clear even before we reached our seats: Rubins was greeting every audience member, and enthusiastically told me, “I don’t think you could have chosen a better way to spend your night than to see the show.” She had already half won me over...
