...39th annual Baby Golden Gloves listed a succession of home-grown pugilists. Saturday, by invitation only, the Gold Star Mothers of South Boston assembled at Armheim's Restaurant, a local favorite, for lunch and memories. The scene moved to the Murphy rink Sunday, where those South Boston boys who model themselves after Terry O'Reilly and not Billy Bulger took over for an afternoon of "puck-shooting contests" and speed skating. Monday Miss South Boston was chosen and last night was the swimming tournament. Tomorrow the serious stuff begins with the 99th annual banquet of the South Boston Citizens Association...
Gorjance said the 18-month-long planning of the tour "took a lot of mettle. It's not like I had a single image of it in my mind.

...Bahrain gave her a solid gold palm tree, 18 inches high, that was hung with pearls representing dates, as well as a gold brooch in the shape of a sailing ship, studded with diamonds and rubies.

In the second stage, extremists rise and consolidate their power. Next comes the Terror, when the regime desperately tries to accomplish revolutionary goals no matter what the cost in blood. This...
...Says Laqueur: "The Iranian revolution does not exist. There exist various groups, each of which says, 'We caused the revolution, we are the legitimate heirs.' " The resolution may take months or years. After a period of chaos, it becomes easy to imagine, a variation of the Brinton model might start working: a strongman with an armed force imposing law where there is none. When Bakhtiar was named Prime Minister, the mind immediately said, "Ah, Kerensky." Now there seems a possibility of multiple Kerenskys: Bazargan, an Khomeini himself. In the Iranian turbulence, an ominous recollection about Russia arises...
