...Zammar, a businessman who had immigrated to Germany and was living in Hamburg, was wanted by U.S. officials on suspicion of helping to recruit some of the 9/11 hijackers, as part of Al Qaeda's Hamburg cell. According to the report, after a U.S. request Zammar was arrested in Morocco by local police.

...different kind of line - that separating faith and the state - and found it blurring in both Germany and Turkey. "Secularism," says Purvis, "is no longer taken for granted in either place."

MARLENE DIETRICH canonized the masculine look for women when she appeared in Morocco in 1930 and sang Give Me the Man. These days, it's Giorgio Armani's job to keep the tuxedo?now a black-tie staple for both men and women, thanks to the Italian tastemaker?au courant. Guys like Cuba Gooding Jr., Ben Affleck and Sean Penn are obvious fans. But it took the more outlaw style of Russell Crowe to update this classic menswear look with a ribbon tie and longer tails in 2001. Jodie Foster wore a crystal beaded version to the Oscars...
