...tried to use for propaganda purposes. Some 2,000 Khomeini supporters marched through the streets of Tehran denouncing "Zionist-and imperialist-affiliated journalists" for sending "false and baseless" reports to the West. Following that, the government expelled TIME'S correspondents in Iran, Bruce van Voorst, 47, and Roland Flamini, 45. Abol Ghassam Sadegh, director general for the foreign press in the Ministry of National Guidance, denounced TIME for "one-sided and biased" coverage. Said he: "Since the hostage problem, the magazine has done nothing but help arouse the hatred of the American people toward Iran." One example he cited...
...they reported on the revolution in Iran for this week's cover stories, three veteran TIME correspondents found themselves drawing analogies and making contrasts with what they had seen in other countries undergoing conflict and change.

A bus full of foreign journalists who had been flown from Tehran was escorted by five truckloads of soldiers...
...secrecy that attends the conclave, the vows of silence taken by the Cardinals as they enter and are sealed from the outside world. But after this conclave-perhaps out of sheer exuberance over the results-a number of participants proved talkative, and TIME'S Jordan Bonfante and Roland Flamini have pieced together much of the story of the proceedings in the Sistine Chapel. It is clear that Luciani came to power through no accident, but as a result of a spontaneous consensus that evolved from three agreements reached during the lengthy pre-conclave period that followed the death...
...intruding on the private lives of staffers. A Via Gradoli Red Brigades hideout turned out to be next to the school attended by the daughter of TIME'S Logan Bentley. And the spot where Moro's body was found was just 25 yards away from Correspondent Roland Flamini's apartment. That night, Flamini watched from his window while Romans created a flower-filled shrine on the spot. The shrine, photographed in color, appears in this week's World story on the Moro murder...
