Egypt vote setback for Islamist Morsi runoff
Trudy Rubin reports that Egypt's first free presidential vote yielded a surprise setback for Islamist Mohammed Morsi of the Freedom and Justice party. He won the most votes but faces a runoff with Ahmed Shafiq as many voters rejected Islamist dominance and called for balance and jobs amid unemployment and inflation.
