Turkey, in the threes of a major crisis, will probably have to stage an extensive default on its massive 1.5 billion dollar foreign debt, according to Britain's Economist magazine.The country has approached international banks for a "jumbo" loan, but has been rebuffed until Turkey is willing to accept International Monetary Fund scrutiny and harsh austerity moves, the Economist said.

Almost unnoticed among the iron-grilled storefronts and derelict tenements off the busy Harlem intersection of 135th Street and Lenox Avenue, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture appears closed, even when it's open.Inside, the three-storey building that was designed in 1905 by famed architect Stanford White has the expected opaque tarnish of a library.
