EGYPT. Tired of Tut and Ramses II? Two new pharaonic sites have opened to the public for the first time in the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile, across from the city of Luxor in Upper Egypt. The tomb of King Tuthmosis IV (reigned 1413-1405 B.C.), discovered in 1903, is one of the largest of the 18th dynasty. The tomb of Prince Ramses Montu-Hir Khobsh-Ef (1137-1117 B.C.), the son of King Ramses IX, was unearthed...
...journalist with soul so pure that he or she would turn down all that? Doubtful. Those of us who scribble for a living have demonstrated that if you scratch us, you'll find a TV personality waiting, with batting eyelashes, to be discovered.

The toll is terrible: more than 12,000 people dead, tens of thousands missing and wounded, 1.5 million men, women and children forced to flee their homes. Those numbers only begin to hint...
...Galper and Katz go on to say "So what if King Tut was Black? What does his Blackness do for Blacks in the inner cities?... For Blacks who are enslaved to this day in Arab countries? ....Beneath all his hateful demagoguery, Jeffries offers no constructive answers to any of the pressing problems facing Blacks and non-Blacks in America and the world today." This questioning is a arrogant and abrasive--a little bit like asking a feminist theorist, "what does all your stuff do for all the women out there who are beaten black and blue by their husbands...
