...this isn't DAVE MATTHEWS' new horn section. It's a scene from the movie Because of Winn-Dixie, in which the folksy jam-band leader plays a pet-store worker who is also "a guitar-strumming felon," Matthews says. "At least in that department I was somewhat qualified." The Wayne Wang film, due out next August, stars newcomer ANNASOPHIA ROBB and oldcomer Eva Marie Saint. Matthews, who dabbled in local theater before his music career took off, says he was reluctant to play a musician in his screen debut. "If I'm going to stumble blindly around the dark...

Last week the Jewish communities in Galata and nearby Sisli were targeted when simultaneous car-bomb blasts destroyed two synagogues, killing at least 20 people and wounding some 250 others. Ali Ozudogru, who runs a small chandelier business, was one of the first at the scene at the Neve Shalom synagogue. "Arms and legs and bits of flesh were everywhere," he says. "I saw one person totally burnt, with just his eyes moving." A group calling itself...
