...attack seemed singularly horrific: an Egyptian pharmacist, Marwa el-Sherbini, was testifying during an appeal hearing in a Dresden courtroom on July 1 when a Russian émigré, Alex Wiens, lunged at her with a 7-in. kitchen knife. The pregnant mother was stabbed to death as her husband and 3-year-old son looked on helplessly. After protests swept the Arab world, Wiens was sentenced in November to life in prison for what the court deemed a racially motivated murder...
...ordered to serve 26 years in prison; Sollecito received 25. The prosecution contended that Knox persuaded Sollecito and Rudy Guede, an Ivory Coast native who was convicted of the murder in a separate trial, into attempting to sexually assault Kercher before Knox stabbed her in the neck with a kitchen knife. In some ways, the verdict was a shock: while physical evidence tied Guede to the crime, only a bit of biological matter on a knife found at Sollecito's home and a speck of Sollecito's DNA on a bra clasp found six weeks after the crime implicated Sollecito...
...potential bid's appeal and challenge lies in her personal narrative. She grew up in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood in the 1950s and '60s - a period when, she recalls, it was populated largely with Irish and Maltese immigrants as well as Puerto Ricans.

...dining, the hotel offers the Spice Market (a branch of Jean-Georges Vongerichten's New York eatery, serving dishes inspired by Asian street food) or W Kitchen (another Vongerichten creation), but the neighborhood is packed with good, cheap eateries. You'll definitely want to skip the overpriced and frugal hotel breakfast and head instead to nearby Besiktas Market where Kaymakci Pando, a popular hole-in-the-wall, has been serving up a traditional Turkish spread of buffalo cream, honey, fresh bread, olives and eggs for nearly as long as the Akaretler Row Houses have been around. It's good...
...rugs thrown over the back of the chairs and the bleached wood remind you that this is ground zero for the new Nordic cuisine, in which a traditional focus on pickling, shellfish, a lot of rye and root vegetables is combined with the full panoply of a modern professional kitchen's tricks. Here, a single raw razor clam comes encased in a magical tube of parsley gelee, and a gorgeous piece of pork belly gets the sous-vide treatment (vacuum sealed and cooked at extremely low temperatures), before being crunched up beneath a crust of locally harvested potatoes...
