Pressler, of course, has absolutely no chance of becoming the next President of the U.S. Yet he at least dresses for the part. He is wearing a nicely cut black pin stripe suit and a black tie with small white polka dots. "It's a very big thing to run for the presidency," says Pressler. "It's a very big country, with all the different states. You need a whole staff just to figure out the rules in the different prima-ries." Pressler has a campaign staff...
...facts about the Shah's alleged corruption are also difficult to pin down, especially because in Iran, as in other Middle Eastern monarchies, there traditionally has been little distinction drawn between the treasures of the ruler and those of the nation. A lawsuit filed in New York last week on behalf of the revolutionary government accuses the Shah of diverting $20 billion in national assets to his own use, and charges Empress Farah with taking $5 billion.

Gazvoda faced off against Mike "the Masked Marvel" Alexander, putting the less talented grappler to the mat with repeated takedowns before engulfing him in a cradle for the pin. Phills eyed Terry Eastman for less than a minute before levelling him with an upper body toss...
...pin the blame for Graham's supposed servility on one event, however traumatic, seems risky at best--irresponsible at worst. And Davis cannot produce any convincing evidence that Graham does dance to the Administration's beat. The Washington Post did smugly support Johnson's Vietnam policy on its editorial pages, but so did countless other newspapers. Calling Graham servile because The Post supported LBJ's Vietnam policy is patently absurd. Nor does Davis propound any solid evidence that Graham acutally bends her news coverage toward the pleasures of her "father figure" in the White House...
