...Gate Beckett," which ended a brief, triumphal run on Sunday, is a welcome addendum to the 1996 banquet of all 19 works he wrote for the stage, from the full-length Waiting for Godot, Endgame and Happy Days to the 40-second Breath. That two-week event provided New Yorkers with what may have been their greatest theatrical experience of the decade. This time the Gate's artistic director, Michael Colgan, presented three pieces from Beckett's writing for other media: TV, for Eh Joe (Neeson), the short story, for "First Love" (Fiennes) and the novel: Barry McGovern's tour...

"Call me paranoid," says Cuneyt Ulsever, columnist for the mainstream daily Hurriyet. "I think the bomb was Ergenekon at work. It was telling us that they are still here." That seemed to be the angle the PKK itself was taking when it blamed Sunday's attack on "dark forces...
