...Shah finally got his country back in 1946 and boldly sent troops into Azerbaijan, Iran's northernmost province, to throw out a puppet regime the Soviets had left behind. Three years later, he came within a hair's breadth of death at the hands of a leftist fanatic who opened fire with a pistol as the Shah was handing out diplomas at Teheran University. Three shots drilled the Shah's hat, another creased his lip and right cheek and, as he dived to the ground, a fifth hit him in the left shoulder. Bodyguards riddled the would...
...such ground breaking, the Latino delegates reacted almost by instinct. They condemned Herter's plan out of hand as a mere trick aimed at letting Trujillo off, accused Herter of being taken in by Trujillo's current show of democracy (last week Trujillo's latest puppet President proposed an amnesty for political crimes...

...three ways: it offered audiences individual transistor radios to hear about what was happening on the stage, it permitted curtain calls, and it cut its usual five-hour performances to three. On its opening bill were an adaptation of a classic 15th-century No drama, a doll or puppet play, and a work of late 19th-century "realism." Whatever their genre, all three are some times elaborately, sometimes delicately stylized, even to their high-pitched speech; far from merely accepting stage artifices, they glory in them and glorify them. The result is often a triumph of manner. The actor does...
