THE GOOD AND THE BAD – A survey among our readers has elected Patrick Zaki as personality of the year and General al-Sisi as the year’s most wanton personality.
REPORT – The end of the American Dream. The 21st century has not done much for the “American Dream” so far, nor has it been beneficial for the United States’ reputation.
