...Shah needs every ounce of our moral and political support right now," continues Helms. It is safe to say that Helms was depressed last week when at this delicate time, President Carter chose first to give the world another lecture on human rights and then later, at a breakfast with reporters, suggested that the Shah might fall.

Freddie chose the latter, and off will go Lifeline, Sword of Justice, Dick Clark's Live Wednesday, Eddie Capra Mysteries, Grandpa Goes to Washington, Who's Watching the Kids? and David Cassidy-Man Under Cover.
