I'm actually more intrigued by the reporter's first name in the by-line, Scheherezade.
She was the maiden who supposedly fended off her own execution by telling the Sultan a piece of a captivating story each night and refusing to tell the ending until the next night (whereby she would quickly launch into another story). Her stories are the source for the "1001 Arabian Nights," featuring Sinbad among others.
VERY interesting name for a Middle Eastern reporter....
