...weeks ago, Prime Minister Mohammad Ali Raja'i visited the U.N. to denounce the Iraqi invasion. Although he ignored Carter's offer of a direct meeting, Raja'i told a New York press conference that the U.S. now appeared "ready to cooperate" on resolving the issue. He later said he expected the Majlis to agree that Khomeini's four demands were sufficient and was "certain" that Washington would accept them. Majlis Speaker Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani fueled hopes by predicting the speedy liberation of the hostages and minimizing the possibility that any would be tried...
...avoid sounding technical that he seems more a well-read humanist with a strong interest in evolutionary theory than a scientist who is well-educated in other fields. He refers in almost every essay to such non-scientists as Odysseus, Rabelais, Shakespeare, George Eliot, Alexander Pope, and even Muhammad Ali as bridges to lesser-known scientists like Richard Goldschmidt, Baron Georges Cuvier, Paul Broca, Randolph Kirkpatrick, and Thomas Henry Huxley...

Out of that conjecture grew a new flurry of rumors that...
...entire world must know that Saddam's army has acted without mercy, without pity, like Hitler's army." With that fuming condemnation of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, Iran's Prime Minister Mohammed Ali Raja'i opened a diplomatic front in the Persian Gulf war last week by taking his country's case to the United Nations. Addressing a session of the Security Council, Raja'i charged that "the cruel and despotic regime of Iraq" has bombed schools and hospitals in "its killing of innocent people...
