...headquarters of the revolution were in a highly improbable setting: the Alavi elementary school in the bazaar section of Tehran where Khomeini lived. There, in two cramped and dingy rooms on the second floor, he would shuffle to the window a dozen times a day to greet the unending sea of believers who came to hail him. Elsewhere in the same school, in a drab classroom furnished with three desks, a file cabinet and a typewriter, Prime Minister Bazargan ran the government. He sat cross-legged on a rug-covered wooden platform where he took his meals, greeted visitors...

Whichever, it will bring together on Feb. 18-21 arms manufacturers, potential buyers and military strategy experts from the U.S. and foreign countries, including the Soviet Union, Egypt and South Korea.

The Ayatullah's recordings have become one of the few get-rich-quick ventures in Iran's shuttered economy. The tapes were mostly manufactured on recording machines in France and surreptitiously shipped to Iran...
...sorry to see that after striving for so many years differences have appeared among you. In all these years, I have managed to bring the mullahs and the bazaar shopkeepers closer to the university community. They must have unity in their ideals for them to succeed. Otherwise the foreigners will take advantage of them. When the foreigners see that in Iran people are becoming united, the interest of the Soviet Union and America will not be able to survive. If you believe in the campaign, you must be united. Otherwise you will be separated from your goal and that will...
