...there are other revelations in the document - and it's Mills herself who is cast in the harshest light. "The husband's evidence was, in my judgment, balanced," writes Bennett. "He expressed himself moderately, though at times with justifiable irritation, if not anger. He was consistent, accurate and honest." Bennett regrets he cannot say the same about Mills. "Much of her evidence, both written and oral, was not just inconsistent and inaccurate, but also less than candid...

But she added, "My friend finally convinced me that it was important that we make a decision, even if it's between bad and worse." Her friend Samira Parto, 27, chimed in, "It's our poor lives that are at stake here, not the lives of those people outside Iran who encourage us not to vote. We don't want internal war, we don't want an invasion, we don't want a revolution. We just want...
