The swiftness with which the global media spotlight withdrew from Egypt's Tahrir Square has been rivaled by the break-neck pace at which Egypt is implementing reforms.
In what today's Washington Post called a "crash course in constitutional confusion," 40 million Egyptians are expected to vote Saturday on proposed constitutional amendments, the most significant of which would curb runaway executive powers that were exercised for more than 30 years by ousted President Hosni Mubarak.
Noting the referendum is "the first in decades that doesn't amount to a sham," the Post cited pundits and politicians expressing "deep concern that citizens are ill-prepared to fully comprehend what the amendments mean."
