Sculptors gradually began to escape from the sterility of pyramid sculpture and, subjected to freshening outside influences, introduced a new vitality and plasticity into their own work that suggested the classical sculpture of their Greek conquerors.

Tomato Sauce. Like 37-year-old Azzam himself-who was born in Cairo, lives in Geneva, drives a Chevrolet station wagon and speaks five languages-the song is a hybrid, Eurafrican polyglot. Written in French, Italian and Arabic, its lyrics may have been found in a Babel...
