...away at Tehran's Mehrabad Airport. A producer in Iran estimated that each futile entry attempt cost $16,000. ABC's Dyk was later given an on-the-spot promotion to the rank of network TV correspondent, and the ABC World News Tonight ratings jumped by two full Nielsen points, or about 1.5 million households, over the previous two weeks. Moaned a rival producer in Tehran: "They milked it good." The Iranians eventually eased their entry restrictions, and each network soon had more than 20 staff members in Iran.

She began work on Joe Tynan four months later: "It was a self ish period, a period of healing for me, of trying to incorporate what had happened into my life. I wanted to find...
Moviegoers have yet to see the full range of Streep's art. She is an expert mimic (she copied her dead-on Southern accent in Joe Tynan from Dinah Shore) and can turn a hilarious pratfall. Her film roles have mainly been those of vulnerable modern women. She has not yet played a period character from a position of strength, but plans to start work on the screen version of John Fowles' The French Lieutenant's Woman early next spring...
