Society Part II: Of Dogs
By Mohamad Sobh, Staff Writer
Beirut, Lebanon − The curtain will at long last be lifted from upon our promised article. It took its time to brew and fizzle, but it is my belief that it was worth the wait and that the wait will be rewarded and compensated for with fair content and piercing insight. This account might shock, anger, mystify, and even please some. An account most fittingly described as an out of body experience, for it has taken hardly any control on my part to write this piece, an article which I have been grown fond of calling my little exposé.
