Quite the contrary, say skeptical U.S. Government economists and Western experts in Tehran. Iran has found more than enough alternative sources of food; for example, the Australian government supports the U.S. on the hostages but has continued its exports of meat and wheat to Iran, which this year will total $140 million. Similarly, Iran is importing eggs from Turkey, poultry from Rumania and rice from Thailand. Tehran is making up for the cutoff of U.S. medicines by buying some 600 pharmaceutical items from Japan, ranging from aspirin to antibiotics. It is importing U.S.-manufactured oil-drilling equipment from Rumania...

...been Walt Disney World, which lay just across a grimy interstate. Outside the hotel where the happening occurred, giant hot-air balloons wafted under a blazing autumn sun. Dixieland bands strutted down walkways, and characters in Indian headdresses, space-shuttle caps and Abe Lincoln garb wandered about. Under an Australian pine by a swimming pool, a stocky old gentleman in a rumpled blue suit discoursed on farm policy. He said his name was Harold Stassen and he was once again running for President...

...some of the counterthreats from Tehran have been plainly bluster. "We have the dollar by the throat," chortled Banisadr. Not quite. Though the National Iranian Oil Co. announced that it no longer will accept dollars for oil, Iran needs the U.S. currency to pay for imports of everything from Australian wheat to Japanese machinery, which are all priced in dollars in international trading. Iran's oil exports, which have been declining in recent weeks, amount to about $70 million daily, only a fraction of the more than $150 billion that normally changes hands every day in international dollar transactions...

...William Holden still has the body of a 50-year-old. Or even less. Viewers can judge for themselves next fall when they watch Holden in The Earthling, a tale about an Australian bat-around-the-world who finally comes home to die. He stops along the way to take a beefcake bath-or in Holden's case, a sirloin splash-in an Australian stream. He also encounters Child Star Ricky Schroder (The Champ), who at nine has just lost mother and father in an automobile crash. What happens next is tearjerking. It also includes kangaroos and wallabies...

...free medical care, the right to minimal taxation--but all demarcate the interaction of the individual within the group. A person's rights protect him from future harassment, but to actually obtain those rights he must already be a member of the group providing him with those protections. An Australian cannot lay claim to American rights until he is on American soil (or its equivalent). He may have a guarantee that should he enter the United States, he will be accorded many of those protections. But the guarantee depends on his entrance onto American territory. In analogous fashion, until...
