Unusual even for Rocky's Cairo

In the radio show Rocky Jordan, Cairo is billed as a very cosmopolitan city, "crowded with forgotten men, alive with the babble of many languages." However, in the episode entitled "Stranger to the Desert," Rocky encounters a man who is strange even in Cairo. He has been stabbed, and dies as he crashes through the front window of Rocky's café. An anthropologist who happens to be in the city identifies him as an Eskimo.
