Almost overnight the softening face that Iran presented to the world reverted to a furious scowl. Khomeini reportedly was in his blackest mood in years as the annual Mecca pilgrimage neared. "Break the teeth of the Americans," he told the 150,000 Iranians who set out on the trip...
...wait! It's Indiana James to the rescue! In Timothy Dalton's interpretation in The Living Daylights, one finds some of the lethal charm of Sean Connery, along with a touch of crabby Harrison Ford. This Bond is as fast on his feet as with his wits; an ironic scowl creases his face; he's battle ready yet war-weary.

His disruptions aroused combative Judge Julius Hoffman to have him shackled to a chair and gagged during the Chicago Seven trial. Today he lives in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, attends Temple University and directs a youth training program. "I want to contribute to social change by being the last word behind a nonprofit organization," says Seale, 48. Where would the money come from?
