...notion that Iranians hate America has been especially good for fostering ugly and irrational anti-Iranian feelings in Americans. But a leaflet distributed in America during the revolution dispels this myth. It urges Americans not connected to the Shah's regime to spread the "message that Iranians are opposed to the interference policies of foreign governments..but not against foreign people."

Both Jerry Brown and Ronald Reagan would like lower taxes and a balanced budget (who wouldn't?), but want the cuts linked to a constitutional limit on the growth of federal spending...
