There is some more direct evidence of the Shah's complicity in executions too.

That cheerperson in the middle, wasn't she a little flat of chest and hairy of hide? No wonder. It was TV's Robin Williams (Mork & Mindy) filming for an upcoming sequence, Hold that Mork! So it was all a drag? Not for the Broncos, who beat the New England Patriots...
