...modern destiny by keeping religion separate from government. But the AKP, the most successful party in recent Turkish history, is rooted in faith and has risen to power as more conservative and religious Turks find a political voice. On the question of how democracy, Islam and modernity can coexist under the rule of law, the two sides have radically - perhaps irreconcilably - different views...
Harlem's past and future coexist uneasily on 125th Street, where Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech still pours forth from speakers near the vaunted Apollo Theater. Pawnshops and hair-braiding parlors are increasingly giving way to Old Navy and Verizon outlets.

If he finds answers in the U.S., they...
...twins. And when asked how happy they were, the identical twin pairs responded much more similarly than other twins, suggesting that both happiness and personality have a strong genetic component. The study, published in Psychological Science, went one step further: it suggested that personality and happiness do not merely coexist, but that in fact innate personality traits cause happiness. Twins who had similar scores in key traits - extroversion, calmness and conscientiousness, for example - had similar happiness scores; once those traits were accounted for, however, the similarity in twins' happiness scores disappeared...
