...hour and 40 minutes. The following morning the three leaders met for three hours in Aspen's study. By the end of the week they had met for a total of 6½ hours, but what few details were released had nothing at all to do with the subject of the talks. White House Press Secretary Jody Powell noted, for example, that Carter was "participating actively" and that "the personal relationships [of the principals] are good...
...after day they marched, tens of thousands strong, defiant chanting demonstrators surging through the streets of Tehran, a capital unaccustomed to the shouts and echoes of dissent. The subject of their protest was the policies of Iran's supreme ruler, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. Some carried signs demanding his ouster. Others called for a return of long denied civil and political liberties and the enforcement of Islamic laws. A few even demanded the legalization of the Tudeh, Iran's outlawed Communist party.

...Liebling had this theory that Lousiana was the westernmost Mediterranean principality, what with its Byzantine politics, and all. If that's true, then Florida is perhaps the northernmost Caribbean principality--ruled by Holiday Inn instead of United Fruit.

...election, the Pope's choice of names was, as it always is, regarded as one of the few indications of the tone of his pontificate. Much has been made of John Paul's double choice. Last week in Rome still more was being said on the subject. Remarked Belgium's Cardinal Suenens: "People will ask, 'Is he John or is he Paul?' He will be both in his own way. His manner is more John's, but it is like mixing oxygen and hydrogen - you get water, two different elements producing a third substance...
