Our daughter-in-law, who is Lebanese, speaks very good English. She has one of those slight accents, the kind you love to hear, a bit like a melody to the ear.

The flip side is to remember the victims and the prior circumstances of a few infamous inmates.
To borrow a line from Dr. Phil, “No matter how flat you make a pancake there are always two sides”.
