Wailed the village mullah of Danesfahan, where 3,200 of 4,500 inhabitants perished: "We have brought this evil on ourselves. It is God's vengeance for our sins." But the real evil, experts decided, lies in the peasants' age-old technique of building thick-walled, mud-brick houses that instantly collapse on their occupants in an earthquake. After his inspection, the Shah announced plans to rebuild the nation's 50.000 mud-hut villages.* It will take at least 15 years...
