...British and Russian troops occupied Iran. Mossadeq's alien-baiting became more popular than ever. In 1944 he put through a bill forbidding the government to grant an oil concession to anyone without legislative permission.

Heller is particularly proud of a clause which guarantees all performers their full original fee if a kinescope of a show is ever...
