  1. America is exceptional, and that includes the way we treat immigrants

    <em>Dear Scholar, </em>
    Dear Scholar, It was wholly a pleasure to get your thoughts about the current debate over illegal immigrants and how to approach the nettlesome challenge they represent to us -- and we to them. It was good of you to rehearse some classical history for...

  2. Wrapping up Egypt — For now

    As you can tell by the flurry of posts, my 10 days in Egypt have inspired me to write. I&rsquo;ve had an amazing experience here. My open letter to President Morsi actually earned me a reply from his assistant, who ensures me they are trying and that they appreciate the caring candor of this series on their country. I leave Egypt both exhilarated and exhausted from all that I&rsquo;ve learned.

  3. Luxor Museum: Easily Egypt's best

    While Egypt has many of the world&rsquo;s greatest ancient archeological sites, its museums are generally dreary. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, while old school, is world class simply by the brute magnificence of the treasures it displays. The Luxor Museum, made possible and designed by the people who brought us the Louvre in Paris, is the finest museum in the country. While it&rsquo;s a fraction of the size of the big museum in Cairo, it offers more than enough ancient art and artifacts&ndash;all wonderfully displayed.

  5. China's Middle East footprint

    Security in the Forbidden City across the street from the Great Hall of the People was tight last month when Li Keqiang was installed as premier of China. But the uniformed guards weren't armed with automatic weapons. Instead, they were equipped with fire extinguishers to prevent would-be protesters from self-immolating.

  6. Al Gawahra Village: 30 minutes by horse carriage and a world away from Luxor

    As I kicked back on a well-worn horse carriage at the end of the day, with a cool breeze coming at me off the Nile and colors rich with the setting sun, another jingle-jangle carriage passed me on the right. Just as it did, two rambunctious boys with filthy hands and feet, jalopy smiles, and shining eyes hopped onto the rear axle of the passing carriage&ndash;secretly hitching a ride and laughing so happily they brightened an already very sunny day.

  7. Egypt president sees 'deep state' as enemy within

    CAIRO <strong>&mdash; </strong>President Mohamed Morsi casts himself as a leader navigating a landscape bristling with conspiracies by corrupt businessmen and shadowy figures plotting from inside a vast bureaucracy his Islamist inner circle has been unable to tame.

  8. A single day in Luxor

    There is a problem. With all this action, it&rsquo;s very tough for me to stop doing stuff long enough to write down what I&rsquo;ve been up to. Each day is jam-packed with vivid images and amazing experiences. Yesterday, we did a marathon sightseeing blitz of the tombs and temples of the west bank of the Nile&ndash;the dazzling necropolis where the sun sets and where, in pharaonic times, you buried your dead. Today was spent in Luxor on the east bank&ndash;where the sun rises and people live. Here&rsquo;s a quick review:

  9. I'm in Egypt, but am I in denial?

    It&rsquo;s poignant to be far from home &mdash; having fun and enjoying the people I&rsquo;m meeting &mdash; in a land regarded by some as a place where Christians are being killed and women being abused . . . and where the government tacitly approves of these atrocities. Christians and women may justifiably wonder whether it&rsquo;s safe &mdash; or even moral &mdash; to go to Egypt. Clearly, the alarming plight of Christians and women in Egypt can&rsquo;t be ignored. That&rsquo;s one reason why I&rsquo;m traveling here.

  10. And now for a woman traveler's take on women in Egypt

    Thanks so much for all your comments as you&rsquo;ve traveled along with me through Egypt. I&rsquo;m struck by how much apparent ill will there is against Egypt and how people think I&rsquo;m promoting aspects of Egypt that anger them. Egypt simply &ldquo;is.&rdquo; Rather than condemn or condone aspects of its culture, I&rsquo;m experiencing it. Being here (as a tourist with enough money for a guide and good hotel) is no less safe than being in America. I&rsquo;m loving it, but I would not personally take tours from my company here because it&rsquo;s a bit rough for my &ldquo;demographic.&rdquo; I can hardly wait to return with my film crew next season.

  11. West bank Necropolis

    Across the Nile from Luxor is a valley with more ancient treasures than any place I&rsquo;ve seen. I spent a long day visiting tombs and temples to find the best places for my upcoming TV episodes on Egypt. With the help of an excellent guide, I enjoyed Egyptian art and history more than I ever have. Here&rsquo;s a bit of what I learned:
