...give; and ways and means have to be found to make do with that. If there is a small overrun, the savings could be used. But that should only happen in case of emergency. For I don't know whether these small savings are going to have to cover the children's education, in the event of my early death. If I thought otherwise, I would simply be a heel. So it cannot even come into consideration that 10 francs per day (= 4,000 francs per year) be paid for Tete. Accommodations for him have to be sought that...
...desk: a Chinese-English dictionary, a lamp, and my computer. For anyone who knows me, this is an anomaly in the extreme.

...Fundamentalists, for their part, are pleased by the swing to Islam but hardly with the way many young Egyptians are taking the veil to sexy extremes. Some night clubbers are hitting the lounge, for example, in stilettos and cover girl makeup, their hair lightly graced by a Fendi scarf. On campuses, female students pull their tresses behind a sequined wrap, worn over an ensemble of jeans and a tight-fitting t-shirt that leaves little of their anatomy to the imagination. Noha Mamdouh, 18, a Cairo University student, is wearing a pink and beige scarf with a matching slinky...
