...when none of the U.S. retaliations brought any progress toward the release of the hostages, American anger and frustration became almost palpable.* New anti-Iranian demonstrations flared on campuses from coast to coast; three teen-agers threw a rock at the window of an Iranian in Denver, and he shot back, killing one of them. Eight Iranians, carrying rifles, telescopic sights and ammunition, were arrested at Baltimore-Washington International Airport as they prepared to board a flight to New York. Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd, normally one of the mildest and most self-controlled of men, said he sympathized with...
...defense, however. Three times the Bazargan government assured the Administration that it could protect the embassy against attack. One of the assurances came after the Shah was admitted to the U.S. and the demonstrators started shouting in Tehran's streets. There was an encouraging precedent. Last February when anti-American protesters seized the embassy, Iran's government moved quickly and efficiently to bring them under control.

In that sense Ayatullah Khomeini, his mobs and his minions are doing the Kremlin's work, even though they are not doing its bidding...
They were then treated to 25 minutes of the sort of anti-Washington, pro-free-enterprise punch lines that Reagan has used to wow audiences since 1964, when he campaigned for Barry Goldwater. But Reagan delivered his speech with far less passion than he has in the past. This time he is the front runner, and in an attempt to broaden his appeal, the former California Governor seems to have banked the fires that once frightened more moderate G.O.P. factions...
