More on Zahi Hawass on Time 100 list
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1187259,00.html
Thanks very much to my Official Nitpicker Chris Townsend, who has pointed me at this article on the Time Magazine website, where a brief profile of Hawass has been posted by novelist Elizabeth Peters: "Hawass has to be—and is—a master of multitasking. A friend and I once had coffee and shisha (water pipe) with him in Cairo. He sipped his coffee, chatted with us, dictated to a secretary and took phone calls more or less simultaneously. He has been described as theatrical, passionate and controversial. He is passionate about Egypt and its antiquities and doesn't hesitate to use words like magical, thrilling and marvelous when describing his discoveries in the Valley of the Golden Mummies or his recent investigation of the battered mummy of Tutankhamen." See the above page for the rest of the item.
