    With a presidential runoff election scheduled for this weekend, Egypt's elected parliament was dissolved today. The remnants of Hosni Mubarak's military regime have also declared martial law.

On Reporter's Notebook, the President and Mitt Romney stage dueling events —simultaneously--in the swing state of Ohio.
