When I was in Cairo during the Egyptian uprising, I wanted to change hotels one day to be closer to the action and called the Marriott to see if it had any openings. The young-sounding Egyptian woman who spoke with me from the reservations department offered me a room and then asked: "Do you have a corporate rate?" I said, "I don’t know. I work for The New York Times." There was a silence on the phone for a few moments, and then she said: "Can I ask you something?" Sure. "Are we going to be O.K.? I’m worried."
Also, let's not forget NoHo Hank schooling Thomas Friedman about the rise of Asia. (Prompted, you may recall, by Hank's conflict with a Burmese crime organization.)
A young Saudi woman wrote an email to Friedman in 2002, not a question but a statement of profound truth. It’s excerpted in Longitudes and Attitudes: “I dream of the day when I become independent and have my own car. I dream of having all my rights as a human being. Saudi women need your pen, Mr. Friedman.”
