Egyptians vote in historic election
Egyptians began
voting freely on Wednesday for the first time to pick their president in a wide
open election that pits Islamists against men who served under deposed leader
Hosni Mubarak. The contest is a novelty for a nation where elections during the
30-year rule of a man some called "Pharaoh" were thinly attended
rigmaroles in which the result was a foregone conclusion.
