...chaotic regime now had a Soviet threat on its eastern border as it struggled to cope with rebel autonomists and internal squabbles over what to do with the American hostages. In Egypt, Moscow's audacious conquest of Afghanistan cast a darkening shadow over a summit between President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Premier Menachem Begin. In New York City, one Third World country after another rose in the United Nations General Assembly to excoriate the Soviet Union (see following stones...
...weather: the two men chatting together by the sun-drenched pool of Aswan's Oberoi Hotel on the Nile might have been old friends planning their next family vacation together.

Nonetheless, the Ayatullah's appeal to Muslims, Sunni as well...
...vivid denunciations of assorted opponents as "devils" and "agents of Satan" have persuaded some American politicians that Khomeini is?in the words of Egypt's Anwar Sadat ?"a lunatic." Not so, conclude most Iranian scholars. "I don't think he's crazy," says Columbia University Historian Richard Bulliet. "Most of his decisions have been taken quite logically as a consequence of his perception of the popular will." Richard Falk, professor of international relations and foreign policy at Princeton, concurs: "When he seems the most crazy to us, he appears most exemplary to the Iranian people. That suggests you would...
