Gosling, 26, has impressed Hollywood with his brooding performances as a crack-addicted middle-school teacher in last year's Half Nelson, which earned him an Oscar nomination, and a neo-Nazi Jew in The Believer, his breakout 2001 role. Wider audiences discovered him wooing Rachel McAdams in the 2004 romantic weepie The Notebook and pursuing a murderous Anthony Hopkins in this year's thriller Fracture. But it took Bianca's quiet charm to draw out Gosling's most appealing performance and the one closest, he says, to who he really is. Bianca, by the way, is a life-size...
...just private owners, but dealers with a thriving art gallery in their hometown of Dieren in the east of the country. They continued to buy and sell art throughout the war, even if from Basel, Switzerland, where Nathan moved his family in 1942. Many of their dealings were with Nazi art procurer Alois Miedl, who bought art for Hermann Goering and others.

This is false, though the Palestinian leadership was pro-Nazi and worked with Hitler during the Holocaust. The Palestinian leadership was not "guiltless" during that war or the one which followed in 1947-1949, which was initiated by Arab leaders in an attempt to strangle Israel at its birth. Compensation for the property claims of Palestinians who left during that conflict is still on the negotiating table—though Matory ignores the property of Jews who were expelled from Arab countries during...
...Even so, the project remains sensitive in Germany. When thousands of brown-shirted extras marched underneath giant swastikas at a parade ground in a western corner of Berlin, for example, a passerby filed an official complaint with the city for illegal display of Nazi propaganda. "What are the tourists going to think, not to speak of old people that were affected by the Nazi regime themselves?," Christian Bredlow, who is bringing the suit, told the Berlin daily Tageszeitung. Similar charges have been filed against the owners of other Berlin sites, including the Nazi-era Ministry of Finance, which are being...
