A Chicago judge then came to her rescue by issuing a permanent injunction against the strike and ordering binding arbitration of the dispute.

To hasten his fall from grace, the state-run radio, which until three weeks ago was directed by Ghotbzadeh, praised the students' criticism of him and declared: "There is no room for diplomatic games in our revolution."

Following that, the government expelled TIME'S correspondents in Iran, Bruce van Voorst, 47, and Roland Flamini, 45. Abol Ghassam Sadegh, director general for the foreign press in the Ministry of National Guidance, denounced TIME for "one-sided and biased" coverage. Said he: "Since the hostage problem, the magazine has done nothing but help arouse the hatred of the American people toward Iran."
