Anne Montgomery also gives a fine performance as Hesione Hushabye, Shotover's deceitful and conniving daughter whose romantic delusion compels her to dress her suave husband, Hector, (Kevin Fitzpatrick) in an Arabian robe and to keep him around as a housepet. But Hector surprises the audience with his strength of character. In the final act, he displays both heroism and an astute self-consciousness of the indolence and uselessness plaguing his society. Fitzpatrick's smooth acting makes this transition quite believable...
...Charlie's Angels and Police Woman. "What relevance do they have to life in Egypt?" he asks. "What are Muslims supposed to do? Emulate those lifestyles? Forget Islam and become a plastic person?" Nadia Fatim, a student at the same university, wears a modified veil and a floor-length robe. Says she: "It is a matter of identity.

Better yet, a Fendi sable coat (Bergdorf's catalogue sold three at $18,500 apiece), a $500 cashmere robe or any ornament made of gold, the invaluable metal that fetched some $220 an ounce on the London market last week. Tiny gold pendants in the shape of oil barrels went for $850 and solid gold nuggets for $950. Tiffany's diamond-studded gold watch was a bargain. Its price...
...anything else can be discussed. One such moderate mullah is Abdul Reza Hejazi, 42, who has suddenly become a political figure of some importance. "At the moment," said Hejazi, surrounded by rich red Persian carpets in his Tehran living room, which provided a sharp contrast to his severe black robe and turban, "one side is shooting and the other is screaming. We must find a way to create a cease-fire to give the Shah a chance to prove what he is promising." In the long run, Hejazi believes, the Shah might stay on as a constitutional ruler. "But what...
