Since 1953, the Shah's rule has become increasingly repressive. During the regime's first decade, opposition parties were allowed to exist, although the Shah controlled the country firmly. In 1963, the Shah's so-called "White Revolution"--including a token land reform program that has failed to change the grossly inequitable distribution of wealth, and the massacre of thousands of members of the opposition--made Iran a one-party state, removing all traces of democratic government.

A Big Mac may be a Big Mac wherever one roams, but in the interstices of the chains a Petronian diversity of foodstuffs is being sold with dispatch. On the Fourth, New Englanders will be flocking to Clam Shacks for rolls stuffed with batter-fried whole quahogs or steamers. Sightseers in Plains, Ga., will stop at the Americus outlet of McWaffles, which puts peanuts in the batter and serves "the Presidential Waffle" with a side order of peanut butter...
