...what extent was the student action-and the Ayatullah Khomeini's endorsement of it-in accordance with Islamic law? Experts differ. Zaki Badawi, Egyptian director of the Islamic Cultural Center in London, argues that "the demand for the return of the Shah to face trial in Iran is in agreement with Muslim law." Islam holds that "no one is above the law and law is supreme. If a crime is committed by a ruler, an emperor, he is as liable to punishment for it as the meanest and commonest of his subjects."

That is especially true for the four American companies providing nearly all of the 700,000 or so barrels of Iranian oil that until last week had entered the U.S. each day.

But whites say that their property values have been depressed by uncertainty...
With that, Lord Carrington's face broke into a broad grin. After ten weeks of touch-and-go negotiations at London's Lancaster House, Mugabe and his fellow guerrilla leader, Joshua Nkomo, had finally accepted a British-drafted plan for a transitional period leading to new elections and legal independence for the breakaway British colony. Endorsed two weeks ago by the biracial delegation of Salisbury's Prime Minister Abel Muzorewa, the plan will go into effect as soon as final agreement is reached on a cease-fire between the warring factions.
