...customers. He assured a schoolteacher: "I want whatever the people want." And what was that? As one Western expert put it last week, "Iranians want a slower pace, a more traditional society. In a Muslim country, the duty of a good government is simply not to interfere in the lives of its people too much and to allow them to live as good Muslims." Whether Iran will get that kind of government is still far from certain...
While in the Army, Graham married his college sweetheart, Mary L. Wissler now a lawyer; they and their two children live in Washington's Cleveland Park section. Those who know him almost invariably describe Graham as decent, pleasant and entirely unassuming. "He's just as good to the people who clean the bathrooms as he is to [Columnist] David Broder," says Post Police Reporter Alfred Lewis. One doubt that colleagues whimsically cite about young Graham's business acumen: he has been known to loan reporters money. His deeper footprints around the paper are harder to find...
Many behavioral scientists have explored the world of the mentally ill behind hospital walls. But Estroff, a post doctoral fellow in psychiatric anthropology at the University of Wisconsin, probed a different world.

The mild light of the peninsula, sometimes as crystalline as the Aegean, and its rolling, antique contours of moorland and coast, recur in hundreds of drawings and dozens of still-life and land scape paintings. Nicholson's favorite motif was that of the cubist Juan Gris: a view of objects...
...this tends to make the film increasingly silly. Weir gives up on making the characters anything more than symbols, points on the line between evil white and primitive good. A few scenes of the ghetto in which the Aborigines live are lifeless, the city has no character, and the film disintegrates into stock effects. Chamberlain discovers a secret Aborigine city beneath Sydney, and learns that an ancient white civilization was destroyed by a giant tidal wave, and that another one is due very soon. Some sort of eternal justice will destroy the white man's injustice. At the very...
