...himself. Just as Olepi's life parallels Ogle's, Ahbleza's will parallel Tonweya's Despite the fact that Ahbleza is several years older, the two boys become 'brother-friends', and like their fathers, both are marked for distinction. Tonweya becomes a great scout while Ahbleza strives to become leader of the Mahto band, and, eventually, the entire Teton (Sioux) Nation...
...ceremonial highlight of the second day of the visit was the 137-mile, four-hour train ride from the capital to Alexandria, through Sadat's home district in the heart of the verdant Nile delta. "This is my Georgia," exclaimed the Egyptian leader, pointing to the landscape of thatched-roof mud houses and farmers tilling with ox-drawn wooden plows.

Among the more vulnerable items was clearly Bazargan, the gentle, democratic-minded engineer-politician who had been the chief adviser on oil matters to Iran's last revolutionary leader, Mohammed Mossadegh. Stung by Khomeini's diatribe, Bazargan went to Qum with an offer to resign. After some deliberation, Khomeini refused the resignation and pledged greater support for the government. But if that promise was not kept and Bazargan were to quit, authority in Iran would apparently rest solely with the Komiteh, the mullahs and other fervent Shi'ites whose grab for power has literally pulled the Persian...
