A class celebrity – at last!
I have just noticed that a classmate of mine is reporting for a major Israeli newspaper. I haven’t heard his name for 19 years. I actually think of this guy every time I see Egyptian president Mubarak. I used to think they looked similar, except my classmate has enormous blue eyes. There’s an idea for a children’s party game, educational, too – blow up a photo of Mubarak and get the kids to stick on different features: big blue eyes; a moustache, long blond hair… Do you think it will cause a diplomatic incident? I wonder if my old classmate has aged as well as Mubarak has. Do you think Mubarak dyes his hair?
