Marlboro:

Thank you for sharing the knowledge of your girlriend as to the situation in Egypt. And thank her also for me. Her knowledge and direct communications within Egypt and information due to her knowledge of the historical perspective of her country will be invaluable. So frequently we have to depend on our news outlets, staffed by people whose knowledge of the historical background of the true "in country" sitation is less complete than optimal. An element I personally experienced in my trips to South Africa back in the mid 1980's during their civil upheavals. Which were not always so civil.
