“The Nile is the m ost m agnificent river in
the w orld,” Scaturro said. “It has rapids,
w aterfalls, jungle, canyons, deserts, hippos,
,b
crocs, long flat beautiful sections, and hugef
beautiful sandbars. There is no other river in
the w orld that can com pare. And no other
river in the w orld is as closely associated
with a particular culture and society as - the
Nile. W ithout the N ile there w ould be no
Egypt, no pharaohs, no pyram ids. The his­
tory o f the w estern world is inextricably tied
to the N ile.”

Jennifer Lopez
and Marc
Anthony perform
at the 4 7th
Annual Grammy
Awards Feb. 13
in Los Angeles.
J Lo Says Marriage
is No Secret
(A P) — Jennifer Lopez has
co n firm ed that she and M arc
A nthony are, indeed, husband
and wife.
“Yes, w e’re m arried," Lopez
tells People m agazine. “I mean,
com e on, everyone know s. It’s
not a secret.”
It was the first public acknow l­
edgm ent o f her union with the
salsa singer - an unusually long
delay considering the cerem ony
w as last June at her Beverly Hills,
Calif., home.
The couple perform ed a duet,
though, at the Feb. 13 G ram m y
A w ards show. Lopez says she
w as ailing from sw ollen glands
and a sore throat during the per­
form ance, which caused her to
cancel a London trip to prom ote
the British release o f her film
“Shall W e D ance?”
T hough the trip cancellation
prom pted som e speculation of
pregnancy, Lopez says she’s “not
on a tim etable” to have a baby -
though she hopes to becom e a
m other som eday.
N ow , the 34-year-old says,
she’s entered “phase tw o” : a less
public, a “ little bit suburban” life
w ith A nthony - and a far cry
from her “ Bennifer” days with
form er fiance Ben A ffleck. But
Lopez counts the high-profile
rom ance as a learning ex peri­
ence.
“ I take responsibility for the
fact that I d id n 't make adjust­
m ents,” she says. “Now I’m a
little m ore careful. I travel in a
certain way. I leave at a certain
time. I learned.”
L opez’s new album, “Rebirth,”
was released Tuesday.
