These straightforward, yet not crucial errors parallel the more serious and less obvious faults of the article. We want to first point out several incorrect assumptions which were based solely on the author's limited experience with the conference--assumptions which he never confirmed with any of the other delegates or schools, though he could have easily done so. The article asserts that "they (the conference planners) ...never forged ties to campus political organizations." Aside from Harvard, the following student governments were intimately involved in planning and executing the conference: University of Pennsylvania, University of Chicago (including its officers), Stanford...
...Vershinin, the philosophizing soldier with whom Masha falls in love. Bellucci works his rich and versatile voice like a musical instrument, retaining extraordinary control of volume, diction and timing in long, technically taxing monologues. He meticulously defines his character by pacing constantly around the stage in repeated circles that parallel his sermons...
Olepi, Ahbleza's father, is the tribe's greatest warrior; Ogle is the tribe's greatest hunter. It is no coincidence that Ahbleza saves the infant Tonweya, Ogle's son, from burning himself.

The Komiteh will also foster "understanding of the Islamic revolutionary objectives" by propagandizing through television and radio programs, recorded cassettes and a newspaper...
...Moslem revivalism in the revolution. But Robert Wesson, a political scientist at the University of California at Santa Barbara, sees it "not so much as medievalism as a rejection of foreign intrusion. They are not reversing modernization, but giving it a sounder basis in Iranian institutions." Wesson detects a parallel between Islam in Iran and Roman Catholicism in Poland. "There, in a country in a subrevolutionary situation, the Catholic Church is enormously popular because it is the counter to the government - it is the refuge for freedom. It has become the umbrella for all man ner of movements...
