...Tulia Zevi, another top Italian-Jewish leader, says that even John Paul's visit to the synagogue 24 years ago was met with some hesitation at first. "There were very mixed feelings, excitement but also skepticism. But we also understood it was a very big event," Zevi recalled. One of the other Jewish leaders who attended that 1986 service will also likely be revisiting his memories this weekend.

Now, when reporters come to town to cover Tulia's controversy, he helps set up interviews with the black residents, almost all of whom are on probation or related to someone who was arrested in the sting. Gardner is also a comic-relief supporting player, since...
...Amid all the noise and show business is the truth. Tulia is a town with a deep racial divide, and only now is the white majority of being forced to stare into it. It's hard to see anything, though, with the spotlight shining so bright and hot. And that's the way it is in Hollywood. Hooray...
