...released after serving four months of a 10-month sentence. On June 22 Turkey's Constitutional Court banned the Virtue Party for being a "focal point of anti-secular"; activities, a development that leaves Erdogan, 47, in perfect position to lead a large number of rebel M.P.s, tired of the autocratic leadership of the disbanded Virtue Party, into a new party of their...
...Protestants in America are so associated with dignified consensus as Episcopalians. As church spokeswoman the Rev. Jan Nunley says wryly, "We're nice and courteous, and we do the done thing." But last week their civility was sorely tried. Thus far Barnum and a total of five other rebel bishops serve a tiny national flock: at most 8,000 believers. But by end-running the generally liberal church to ally with traditionalist archbishops in Africa and Asia, they drew accusations of schism: not only from the American body's presiding bishop, Frank Griswold, but also from the Archbishop of Canterbury...
Meanwhile, more conservative provinces in developing countries boomed.

But the mob wasn't simply calling for a more robust counterinsurgency effort against the ethnic-Albanian guerrillas that had menaced the capital for weeks; they were baying for blood and vowing to drive all ethnic Albanians out of the city. If that hatred translates into random attacks on ethnic...
...protests in the streets of Skopje, then it may well be unstoppable - particularly if those spill across the river into the ethnic-Albanian side of the city. The protests at parliament were a venting of frustration at the government and at NATO. Although all NATO did was ferry the rebel fighters away from the town of Aracinovo, from which they could strike at Skopje, further up into the hills, that was perceived by the Macedonian Slavs as the Western alliance siding with the insurgents...
