When Iraq launched its first air raids on Tehran three months ago, thousands of people fled to the surrounding countryside every night. But despite the continuing threat of high-level bombing runs, there is little about the city to suggest that it is the capital of a country at war. Streetlights are turned off at night but restaurants are crowded, and even when air raid warnings whine from radios, it seems that no one bothers to seek cover...
Recent disclosures of Iranian efforts to make clandestine purchases of American weaponry and spare parts demonstrate that Iran's condemnation of the U.S. does not prevent it from coveting American technology. These covert attempts to secure what Iran's bellicose anti-Western policies prevent it from obtaining openly suggest one of the Islamic Republic's long-term weaknesses. Unlike the Shah, who tried to open up Iran to the West and turn it into an industrial power, Khomeini has turned the country back on itself. Science and technology are neither condemned nor encouraged. Admissions to the University of Tehran...

Still, 1988 is provocative: it presupposes that Ronald Reagan's second term will end in failure, leading to a contest between Gary Hart and Jack Kemp. Supposedly, the voters are bored by both. Unlikely...
...Nuclear War has circulated a petition asking scientists not to accept any Government funds for SDI research. Some 2,100 have signed the pledge, many from Cornell, Caltech and M.I.T. They contend that Star Wars research is high-tech hocus-pocus that will escalate the arms race. Some scientists suggest that because the protest has been centered at elite universities, SDI research is being done at less prestigious places. Huffs Princeton's Nobel Physicist Philip Anderson: "People who are hungry and need funding are going to lap up the money. They're out there, people from East Podunk Univerity, while...
