...long served as a sanctuary for ethnic groups from around the world. Germans, French, British, Armenians, Greeks, Hungarians and Poles once lived there; Jews first settled in the area after fleeing the Spanish Inquisition in 1492. These days Turkey's Jewish community keeps a low profile, however. Galata's Neve Shalom synagogue, the city's largest, is barely visible behind facade of corrugated iron, security cameras and private security guards. Two Turkish policeman had kept watch outside. Both were killed Saturday, along with at least 18 others, when simultaneous car bomb blasts destroyed two synagogues in Turkey's commercial capital...

...Three To Tango, Perry's latest crack at big-screen stardom, the actor finds himself paired oh-so-cutely with Neve Campbell, an actress who has a become a bit of an enigma herself. Too mature to continue dabbling in teen flicks but still too young and cherubic to be taken seriously in adult fare, Campbell has shifted into that rare phase of an acting career in which she doesn't quite seem to fit in anywhere. Poor Neve. First she was abused all last season on "Party of Five," and now she's stuck in acting limbo...
