Egypt looting spreads; Mubarak names insiders to two top posts
                  Fearless protesters challenge regimes around Middle East
                  At Cairo bakery, protest is a luxury; bread is not
                  Will Obama’s ‘Sputnik moment’ fly?
                  Harvey Weinstein and Scott Rudin are at it again at the Oscars
                  Twitter tries to turn 140 characters into money
              

Oh boy. This is the last straw for me and the LA Times. Their front page treatment of Egypt is significantly, wildly different than any other major US newspaper. (Gah, the looting meme returns!)
