LIN: And staying on the Middle East, what do fruit, beer and clean laundry have in common? If you're Marty Savidge, who's in Ramallah, they're worth their weight in gold. Take a look at his postcard from the field.</s>MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It's interesting as a journalist here on the West Bank. I actually have more freedom than the people who live here, the Palestinians. Seven of the eight major Palestinian towns are under a 24-hour curfew, which means people are stuck in their homes. We were allowed to move about. And we get stopped occasionally by soldiers to check our IDs, but there is a problem where we're not immune from the curfew. Food, restaurants are closed. So were all of the stores, which means when the curfew is lifted, we go shopping along with everyone else. We keep the food we buy inside the refrigerator in the hotel room here. Pretty standard stuff, bread and lunch meat up here. Soft drinks, milk, beer. And then of course, up here, the staple of any diet, Pringles. As long as they keep lifting the curfew, food isn't really going to be a problem for us. But there is another one. And it's getting bigger every single day. You see with the curfew, the hotel doesn't do laundry. Just be glad you're standing up wind.
