Mr Serhan: First fact: The MONTHLY HERALD is not even under the influence of its own editorial board. We have writers, reporters and correspondents from around the world and from multi-varied ethnicities. Many of them are free-spirited and quite unconventional. We do not play politics. Second fact: Dr Maximillien de Lafayette, former Editor-in-Chief and current Bureau Chief ( Overseas Bureau) wrote extensively about Arab culture, Arab artists, painters and comparative history of Arab nations. Probably, he was the only journalist in the West, who so eloquently and warmly wrote at length about Egyptian actresses. His articles on Nour Al Houda (Nee Alexandra Badran) , Berlinti Abdel Hamid, Bechara Wakim,  Ismahan (Asmahan), Riyad Al Sunbati, Mohammad Abdel Wahab, Hind Salami, Tahya Karioka, Omar Sharif (Ne Michel Chalhoub) and Abdel Aziz Mahmood  are monumental. With pride and joy, we published those articles. However, it is quite accurate, we did not write about Ms Faten Hamama and Ms Lubna Abdel Aziz. However, we did, recently, contact Ms Abdel Aziz. We sent her two e-mails at her office at AL AHRAM Newspaper and informed her that, we are interested in writing a piece on her. Unfortunately, we did NOT hear from Ms Abdel Aziz. We will try one more time. Yes, we are fully aware of the great talent of Egyptian movie stars. We will write more about the Egyptian cinema. We have a great admiration for Ms Abdel Aziz. Unquestionably, she is one of the greatest movies stars of all time. But in order to write a comprehensive and an up-to-date article about her, we need Ms Abdel Aziz's collaboration.
