Died. Mohammed Maraghei Said, 92, former Premier of Iran; in Teheran. Once the Iranian Ambassador to the Soviet Union, Said became Premier in 1944 and proved himself a tough-minded anti-Communist by rejecting the U.S.S.R.'s first demands for Iranian oil concessions. Though his policy sparked public rioting, disrupted Iranian-Soviet relations, and resulted in his own resignation, Said was re-elected to office by the Iranian Parliament in 1948 and served another two years as Premier...

Boorstin may dislike "important events," but that is one that no historian can ignore. · Mayo Mahs
...opponents from hampering the war effort. Most antiwar liberals disliked the NLF as much as they disliked General Minh, General Khanh, General Ky, and General Thieu. But in a two-sided war, to oppose one side actively means helping the other. The generals had found themselves hampered by anti-communist liberals who insisted on preserving civil liberties and democratic forms in their efforts to stamp out revolution. General Thieu had himself triumphantly re-elected while his opponents languished in jail cells. Similarly, the American government found itself embarrassed by the anti-communist liberals who opposed escalating terror, wanted to know...
