...Builders. One of the most vocal critics of this state of affairs is bald, hulking Lei Chen, 63, publisher of Taipei's struggling (circ. 23,000) Free China Fortnightly. Lei, who joined Chiang's Kuomintang as a youth of 20, served as a Cabinet minister in several Nationalist governments, but was ousted from the party in 1954 either because he was implicated in smuggling (government version) or because he printed criticism of the government in his magazine (Lei's version). Since then, Lei and his editors have ceaselessly berated Nationalist China's "one-party dictatorship," have...
...wrath. The blatant rigging of Iran's latest parliamentary elections was too much, and the Shah had to act. Scarcely had the roar of the mob in Ayatollah Mohammed's garden died away when the Shah last week accepted the resignation of Premier Manouchehr Eghbal. whose conservative Nationalist Party had just scored an unbelievably lopsided election victory.

But all Scotsmen reserve the right to blame England for everything from Scotland's inordinate unemployment (3.1% in Scotland v. 1.4% for Britain as a whole) to its high rate of emigration (21,000 people last year) and occasional lapses from the stern Scottish morality. "Our illegitimacy rate," they enjoy pointing out, "is highest in those parts of the country that border England...
...opposition called the People's Party, which denounced corruption and urged land reform. At this point, the Shah retired to his six palaces and his pregnant third wife, Farah Diba, whom he counts on to produce a male heir in late October. But while the Shah relaxed, pro-Nationalist landowners herded their villagers to the polls. One independent candidate produced photographs showing that Eghbal's men had used government trucks for the job and that one Nationalist had voted six times...
