...recent public comments on Iran in New York, Dallas and Los Angeles. But he concentrated on reports in the press that he had pushed the Administration to take in the Shah. He said his involvement began at the Administration's urging last January to help find a residence in the U.S. for the Shah, who was then under heavy pressure at home to leave Iran. Kissinger said he asked David Rockefeller to join in the search for a U.S. home, but Rockefeller was reluctant, not wanting to jeopardize his bank's relations with any of the contending factions...
...paid two personal visits to Vance to argue that a U.S. visa should be granted the Shah. He expressed that view volubly in private conversations with many people, including journalists. He said that the last of his direct pleas was made in July. He and Rockefeller then sought to find asylum elsewhere for the Shah.

...isolated home of Geoffrey Carson (Joseph Maher), a British businessman with the most mines to lose. Dick Wagner (Paul Hecht) is a hardbitten Aussie, and a staunch unionist with a habit of regarding the Daily Globe, his paper, as larger than the earthly one. He is visibly miffed to find that an idealistic fledgling staff writer, Jacob Milne (Peter Evans), has scored a beat on him by interviewing the rebel leader. The trio is completed by a photographer (Dwight Schultz) who has apparently seen some thing of this increasingly nebulous struggle. As the play progresses, all the gentlemen...
