...admitted this fall. Kao flew back to Cairo this summer, laid out Abdel's four-year curriculum. It was stiff: four years of English and French, two of German, four years of science (including theoretical physics), four years of math (including calculus). "I did not lead the boy to think that everything was now taken care of," says Kao in his careful tones. "His report cards are mailed to me. He has what I guess you would call a fellowship.

And always there is the maddening Alice-in-Wonderland logic by which...
