|  |  | | Egypt´s Fledgling Democracy |
| IN Cairo last week I found myself
buying a couple of "I love Egypt"
T-shirts. When a woman came up
to me and, with much the same
solemn pushiness as a squeegee

Black box of Indonesian plane found
JAKARTA Searchers have found more bodies and the black box of a passenger plane that crashed into the sea off eastern Indonesia with 25 people on board.
Efendi Rajaloa, chief of the local Search and Rescue Agency, said on Sunday the black box of the Chinese-made Xian MA60 twin turboprop was found in waters about 50 feet to 66 feet (15 meters to 20 meters) deep.
The twin turbo-prop plane operated by Merpati Nusantara broke into pieces during a downpour on Saturday, minutes before its intended landing in Kaimana district in West Papua province.
“Heavy rains have been pouring down since this morning and strong sea currents made the search operation difficult,” local navy official said.
