...whether Iran will blink. But even if officials here are increasingly anxious about the approaching deadline and rising tension with Washington, ordinary Iranians - mostly relying for information on newspapers that downplay the crisis - feel secure. "America has already shown in Iraq that it can't do anything," say Jaleh Momeni, a 26-year-old secretary in Tehran. "They don't dare attack...
...Jaleh Poorooshasb '80 is an Iranian student who holds a visa for permanent residency in the United States. The State Department granted her the visa, which will allow her to stay in this country indefinitely, because she has relatives who are U.S. citizens. Poorooshasb is one of a number of students exempted from President Carter's "hard-line" policy of not renewing Iranian students' visas when they expire.

...work actor Diabetes, and George Melrod as Hepatitis both look uncannily like Groucho Marx and play their urban-Jewish-intellectual-neurotic characters to the hilt. Meanwhile, the supporting cast, led by the gum-cracking, orgasm-seeking Phil major from Brooklyn College and Great Neck, Doris Levine (played nicely by Jaleh Poorooshasb), camps and hams through Allen's inspired lunacy. Every new character who walks onstage builds the madness to a higher pitch until the whole stage explodes in a riot of screaming neurotics. Particularly funny among the crowds of people who come on stage are David Margolin and Bonnie Freid...
