...staff and students at the St. Theresa Mission School in Nandere, a tiny village deep in the bamboo-and-papyrus forests 30 miles north of Kampala, were more fortunate. First a band of Amin's soldiers robbed Headmaster Kibunka Peregrine of his watch and money; then, the headmaster told TIME Nairobi Bureau Chief David Wood, one of the soldiers "jammed a hand grenade in my mouth and told me to take him to the deacon." Peregrine knocked on the bullet-scarred door of the deacon's office, but no one emerged. "When Amin's boys left...
...nationwide television address last week, Prime Minister Mehdi Bazargan appealed to Iranians to put aside "revenge, enmity and malevolence, forget the past and behave like brothers."

Much of the DOE'S staff has a self-interest in seeing the regulations proliferate: without them, Government workers would be out of jobs. So would small armies of lawyers in Washington, New York and Houston. Says a rich Houston lawyer: "Government regulations have been a real source of new business.
