Khaneghah Avenue was a strange alley for Iran's top cop to venture into unprotected. Some of Mossadegh's bitterest enemies made their headquarters there, including the Retired Officers' Association and the Fascist-like Sumka Party.

Leader of Detroit's first big sitdown strike at the Kelsey-Hayes Wheel Plant, he also played a major role in the U.A.W.'s unionization of Ford. Reuther's bitterest foes were the U.A.W.'s Communists. He won his first major battle with the Communists in 1946, when he took the U.A.W.'s presidency away from R. J. Thomas, whom the Communists had supported. He clinched the victory in November 1947, when he finally won control...
