...enemy, the Shah. But in 1978, apparently as part of a continuing effort to improve its often tempestuous relations with the Shah, Iraq's government asked Khomeini to leave the country, thereby obliging him to spend the last four months of his exile in France. Khomeini has neither forgotten nor forgiven that insult. Last week he openly urged Iraqis to "wake up and topple this corrupt regime in your Islamic country before it is too late." With comparably strong provocation against the Iraqi government, headed by President Saddam Hussein, Iranian President Abolhassan Banisadr said that Iran welcomed the opportunity...

Naipaul understands that Eva Peron, the brunette who dyed her hair blonde, whose autobiography is ghost-written to conceal an illegitimate birth, is the appropriate symbol for a nation which has forgotten its beginnings...
...host nation, as President Carter has done in the case of the 1980 Moscow Games.

Nelson, her male neighbor, considers Julia an uppity nigger who gets involved with whites only because "a Black man got nothing to offer...
...head of the Islamic Republic Party, Beheshti was primarily responsible for forcing the resignation of Iran's first postrevolution Prime Minister, Mehdi Bazargan-who has neither forgiven nor forgotten. Beheshti endorsed the militants takeover of the U.S. embassy, and supports their refusal to turn the hostages over to the government. Once again, many Iranians believe, Beheshti is motivated less by ideology than by expediency and could well abandon the students if their cause seems lost. Observers note that Beheshti has never allowed the charter of his party to be published. Says one critic: "He does not want to commit...
