Saudi Road Warrior

http://us.news1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com...3019956296.jpg

Practicing a centuries-old service, Abdullah, a young Saudi writer for hire, squats before the modern tools of his trade, a typewriter and a mobile phone, in downtown Riyadh on October 26, 2002.

Abdullah writes out petitions, reports and letters for Saudis both literate and illiterate who want to ensure their requests are couched in the best official style.

Can you hear me now?

The cell is cool. But what's modern about a typewriter?

That it's not parchment and a quill. You know those middle easterners -- they're all kinds of prehistoric.
