On this day: 30 October

ON THIS DAY- The Madrid peace conference took place on this day in 1991, hosted by Spain and co-sponsored by the US and the Soviet Union. It was the first time in 43 years that Israel has sat down with all its Arab neighbors to discuss peace; the conference was deemed a success and paved the way for more talks, including the 1993 Oslo Accords. In 1957, the British government unveiled plans to reform the House of Lords that included admitting women for the first time. Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman on this day in 1974 in the “Rumble in the Jungle,” regaining the world heavyweight boxing title. Footballer Diego Maradona was born on this day in 1960 and the second president of the US, John Adams, in 1793. Two years ago we were supportive of a piece trying to kill corporate speak in our weekend edition. This time last year we were shocked when the EGP broke the EGP 17.00 per USD 1 in trading … little did we know.
