At the same time, Khomeini's top economic adviser, Hassan Abdul Banisard, has implied that oil production will probably have to be cut in half to regulate the flow of capital into Iran...
None of this would be so upsetting were Altman not one of the few great di rectors in modern American film.

Unlike years past, when Carter involved himself deeply in the budget-drafting process and reviewed the document virtually line by line, this year he left the task largely to Mclntyre. The budget boss mainly...
