...announced its recommendations by mid-November, the icv pledges to present a bill on the future of the basilica directly to Congress. "We're going to dampen the festivities at least," says Bosch. Whatever happens, Spain has already begun to dismantle the remnants of Franco's legacy. Mass graves of Republican sympathizers are now being excavated by volunteer organizations like Forum for Memory; just last month a related organization, the Association for the Recovery of Historical Memory, unearthed in Cantabria the shared grave of two young men who, fleeing advancing Nationalist troops in 1937, were caught and shot...

Set on a steep, forested site in a neighborhood of conventionally swanky Texas mansions, the new house is a not-quite-severe collage of limestone, concrete and black steel, simultaneously grave and jazzy.

...proclaiming the creation of a “guided democracy.” It’s no wonder, then, that an increasing number of people in Turkey fear that admission policies from the EU will further erode their true identity.The recognition of incompatibility today can save us from grave problems tomorrow. As the examples of recent EU additions Poland and Lithuania demonstrate, policies leading to EU admission can be economically beneficial by integrating less-developed economies into the greater EU community through the implementation of common standards (the Euro unit of currency, for example).
