...tourists are discovering a Turkey that transcends popular stereotypes. In Istanbul they jam the Topkapi Palace to gaze at the 400-room harem of the sultanate and to view its incomparable treasury of emeralds, diamonds, gold and ivory. They pack the Blue Mosque and the other masterpieces of Mehmet Aga, Turkey's great 17th century architect. Bargain hunters fill the cavernous covered bazaar looking for rugs, leather goods and gold. To the south, near Izmir, tour guides jockey for position at the ruins of Ephesus, where the main attraction is the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders...

...began with a bang and seems likely to end with a whimper. The bang: the gunshots fired at Pope John Paul II on May 13, 1981, by Turkish Terrorist Mehmet Ali Agca. The whimper: Italian Prosecutor Antonio Marini's recommendation last week that three Bulgarian defendants charged with complicity in the attack be acquitted on the technical ground of "insufficient evidence." If the court heeds Marini's advice when it hands down its verdict this month, the result will be a stunning blow to the * "Bulgarian Connection" theory, which maintained that Bulgarian intelligence services organized the papal attack...
