With the opening of Cairo's universities delayed, many of the 130,000 students have entered the army or the civil defense force.

After the younger McLuhan published an account of meat-dehydration experiments -which showed that small chunks of hamburger lost their moisture at different rates depending on their placement inside a pyramid-others began trying with flowers, fish and eggs. One is also supposed to be able to freshen vegetables, restore stale coffee, ripen hard fruit, mellow cheap wines...
