...call was rich in irony. Blumenthal in 1977 won a global reputation as ''the man who talked the dollar down" because he argued that its drop would bring a beneficial increase in U.S. exports and thus was no cause for alarm...
These were questions that plagued nervous Western diplomats as Iran-the oil-rich keystone to stability in volatile Central Asia-staggered through another week of turmoil and antigovernment demonstrations that have brought the economy to a virtual standstill. A walkout by 11,000 employees of Iran Air grounded all 162 daily flights of the country's flag airline; more serious was a strike by 37,000 workers at Iran's nationalized oil refineries, which initially reduced production from 6 million bbl. per day to about 1.5 million bbl.

The background painting is rich and highly detailed, and this allows the multiplane camera to exploit its ability to create the illusion of three-dimensionality, rather like the great tracks through the forests of Snow White and Bambi. Disney's craftsmen might have made better visual definitions of characters-it's sometimes hard...
