...Minister who forced the Shah to briefly flee Iran before being toppled by a CIA-assisted coup in 1953, a crowd including many Khomeini critics gathered in Ahmadabad (pop. 800), 60 miles northwest of Tehran. At a rally outside the brown brick house where Mossadegh is buried, his grandson-in-law, Dr. Hedayatollah Matine-Daftary, called for the creation of a National Democratic Front.

Nine young men turned in their draft cards in Cincinnati, after dipping them in a cup full of blood...

Complications set in when Nell proceeds to air what she knows of the General's private life in a radio skit entitled "The Home Life of the General", in an attempt to aid her playwright grandson-in-law, who has so far been rather unsuccessful. Here the plot becomes tangled up in itself, and the play is saved only by its witty dialogue...
Louis Verneuil's book is the first fully documented biography of Sarah Bernhardt in English. It is a little too reverential, but gives a vivid, intimate report of the legendary Sarah. Biographer Verneuil is La Bernhardt's grandson-in-law who, like all her household, except her son Maurice, always addressed Actress Bernhardt simply as "Great." Verneuil is also a French playwright who is known in the U.S. for his Broadway plays (Oh, Mama, Matrimony Preferred) and movies (True Confession, My Life with Caroline...
