  • Keeping an Eye on the Army Most Egyptians and most of the protesters in the square say they respect the military and the way it showed restraint and good judgment in the revolution. But the smiles of the army soldiers on the tanks are not necessarily the true face of the military. (Feb. 15, 2011)
  • "The First Day of a New Egypt" The future of Egypt was being drafted on a piece of cardboard inside a tent by the glow of a flashlight last night. (Feb. 11, 2011)
  • Rage in Cairo The Egyptian revolution is teetering on the edge of widespread violence this morning. (Feb. 11, 2011)
  • The New Face of the Revolution The Egyptian revolt found its face today. It's the face of a Google executive with a small goatee who ignited the youthful demonstrations that changed the Arab world with a simple call to action on his Facebook page. (Feb. 8, 2011)
  • "Mubarak Has to Go: That is Non-Negotiable" There is no sign of the protests here quieting down. (Feb. 6, 2011)
