* From my Journal for May 11: Just
had dinner with the nice man fired last month as Vice Chancellor of
Khartoum University. Was at his house. Simple food and no AC. I am
amazed that people can live without AC here. Was still 111o when I
left.
Last
night it was a group of businessmen at my house. When you are rich
here, you have LOTS of money. Went well and they appreciated gesture
of US reaching out to business community.
