...chief reason the marches ended may have been that the women felt they had presented their case. Said one: "The point of the marches was freedom to choose. We have nothing against the chador; we are only against compulsion. We marched for everybody's rights." Harder-line elements of the new government condemned the marchers as "CIA inspired" and "counterrevolutionaries." When Sadegh Ghotbzadeh, director of national radio and television, called for a counterdemonstration, 100,000 people flooded into the spring sunshine, half of them in chadors.

He had been asked to reprimand another boy, did it blisteringly well, felt ashamed of himself and decided that "I couldn't and wouldn't play this idiotic role any longer." At 14 he refused to join the Komsomol, and at 16 he was running with a harmless group of youthful Pimpernels who sympathized with the Hungarian uprising...
