What will happen in post-Khomeini Iran depends on the interplay of such political forces as the clergy, the military, and some of the opposition forces. The Left, which is now fragmented, might unite to influence the succession after Khomeini, just as it did in the struggle to overthrow the Shah. Some clergymen who have coexisted with Khomeni without totally or irreversibly identifying with his despotism may also act, particularly if this crisis degenerates into a civil...
Much of this new understanding came through Reagan's preparations for the Geneva summit meeting with Gorbachev. Experts were brought in to brief him on the interplay between Russian culture and the Soviet system. One writer with whom Reagan developed a particular rapport was Suzanne Massie, author of Land of the Firebird: The Beauty of Old Russia, an uplifting history of prerevolutionary Russian culture, its spiritual qualities and love of nature.

Hollywood does not promote revolution but rather a flashy kind of Yankee individualism--spontaneous, self-reliant and acquisitive. "American film exports the American dream," says Charlton Heston...
...only flaw is that it does not go far enough. In 1981, when Boulez premiered the first 18 minutes of the work, the technology was still largely untried. What Repons needs now is to live up even better to its name, to offer a greater, freer and more apparent interplay among conductor, performers and computers. Characteristically, Boulez intends to keep adding to the piece, so perhaps that will happen in the next installment, scheduled for a London premiere...
