...people are not following because they are in a state of denial. We are about to lose a part of the American dream and to follow Carter is to accept rather than deny. When they perceive the paucity of paths before them, Americans will support the President's efforts...
...tell me it's a bad dream," sobbed the woman as she bent over her badly wounded husband in downtown Tehran. The couple had been among the more than 100,000 people who took to the streets last Sunday to protest the closure of the popular daily Ayandegan by the increasingly repressive rule of Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini. As they marched, they chanted slogans denouncing the "regime's encroachments on the people's fundamental liberties."

...FITING that two other members of the junta, Violetta and Joaquin Chamarro, are the children of the President who fell from power shortly before Anastasio Somoza's Debayle's father made his meteoric rise. But poetic justice will not sustain their newgovernment. If they succeed in their dream of becoming a social democracy, the U.S. will find it must account for its dealings there in the future. If not, the coalition could dissolve into another civil...
