...ruling clergy is determined to dash all hopes of combining modernism with Islam in Iran, which had been the idealistic and forlorn plan of Banisadr. For the fundamentalists, the Paris-educated economist who became President represented a suspiciously Western, secular influence in the revolutionary government. It made no difference that his father, the late Ayatullah Seyed Nasrollah Banisadr, had been an Islamic leader revered by Khomeini. Supporting the suspicions about the deposed President, Khomeini declared last week, "Banisadr and his ilk are Muslims, but their Islam somehow leaves room for U.S. domination."

...Oakland pitching staff is baseball's best. The five starters (Norris, Langford, Keough, Steve McCatty, Brian Kingman) turned in 17 complete games in 21 starts-so many that the team's relievers worked a total of only 11% innings.

And what was all the barbed wire doing out there on the naked stage, not to mention the forlorn, bullet-torn French flag...
Secondly, as the founder of GUERRILLA and a GUERRILLA organizer, I object to the picture painted by Crimson editors of GUERRILLA after the study-in. If Grafstein had read some Crimson articles about GUERRILLA. GUERRILLA's reply to "Forlorn Echoes," GUERRILLA petitions, declaration drafts or posters or if he had made the momentous effort to talk to someone on GUERRILLA, he would know that GUERRILLA is concerned with all issues in the belief that students must seize all issues into their hands. I did not use the word "some" for a good reason. GUERRILLA is concerned with investment in South...
