...Shah that could hardly have been more cozy. In 1972 Richard Nixon decided to lift all restrictions on arms sales to the Shah. Soon billions of dollars' worth of the most sophisticated weaponry and aircraft in the U.S. arsenal began pouring into Iran. America's decision to depend on the Shah as its surrogate policeman in the Persian Gulf was perceived as even more crucial in the aftermath of the 1973 Arab oil embargo, when Iran disregarded the boycott and continued to sell vital petroleum to the West.

Both battles promise to be bruising, and their outcome will largely determine whether...

But their compliance is not likely to last if unions push wages and benefits up beyond the 7% a year average permitted by the guidelines. Says one Administration official: "Ninety percent of the program will depend on holding down wage increases." Gentry adds: "Companies can agree to abide by the program now and always raise their prices later if things go bad. But a union that takes a three-year contract now under the guidelines would be locked...
