U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton meets Sunday with the head of Egypt’s army as the U.S. seeks to have the nation’s military and new civilian government work together.
Clinton’s demand to the military will be simple: Cooperate with Egypt’s new Islamist leaders on a full transition to civilian rule.
