...family back from exile, Aisha's return was celebrated with almost as much jubilation as that of the Sultan himself. As a shrewd and progressive monarch, her father (who will visit the U.S. later this month) had planned Aisha's role from the start as a complement to his ,own political struggle. The Sultan placed his children's education in the hands of capable private French teachers. "I want you to treat my children like other children," the Sultan said.
