Interestingly, as this nascent political partnership matured, the Protestant Jerusalem that was once the epicenter of sectarian strife has become, almost silently, Catholic turf. With the exception of a single neighborhood, called the Fountain, the old walled city of Derry today is almost exclusively populated by families who would have been excluded ten years ago.

One Munich businessman has gone into partnership with some American friends to invest in New York City. They have already picked up a loft building in SoHo and an old office building on lower Fifth Avenue.
