Upon my return, the State Department "pros" came to ask the "amateur," "How in the world did you get in?," I believe those who care enough to try-really try-succeed...
...arts hold few similar signs. Broadway recovered from several sluggish seasons at the outset of the decade to experience its greatest boom period ever, but it was largely the result of massive advertising campaigns and $27.50 top seats at musicals and commensurately priced ones for dramas. The shows that succeeded, like Grease and Annie, did so by widening their audience appeal; consequently, both were enjoyable but neither was exceptionally memorable.

...popular uprising, of course, takes the from of the public's refusal to patronize these arts, a tactic that, given today's tight supply on arts funding from government, foundations and corporations, is virtually certain to eventually succeed.

Secretary General Kurt Waldheim to Tehran to seek the release of the hostages. Next, if the Waldheim mission did not succeed within a certain number of days, perhaps ten, Iran would be punished by a U.N. trade embargo, exempting only food, Pharmaceuticals and oil. But this approach also ran into opposition from the council's Third World members. They were willing to send Waldheim to Tehran, but they did not want...
