...months ago, new Premier Assadollah Alam pledged to undertake "an anticorruption campaign with great diligence and all severity." Though the cynical snickered, Alam got free rein from the Shah, carefully began building airtight cases against suspected grafters among Iran's leading bureaucrats and government leaders. His first major target was General Mohammed Ali Khazai, the Iranian army's chief of ordnance, who had parlayed his $6,000 salary into three houses in the suburbs of Teheran, four apartment houses in France, five automobiles, $100,000 in European banks and $200,000 in cash.

The U.S. attitude seems to be that greater emphasis would only serve to provide a larger target for Morelia's Communists to throw rocks at.

Mindful of the fact that 73 Americans have lost their lives in the fighting so far, their most bitter complaint is that military operations...
Cooper's journey had begun at 3:04 a.m. Wednesday, halfway around the world at Cape Canaveral, Fla. It ended 34 hours, 20 minutes and 30 seconds later, a 600,000-mile shot that hit almost directly on target--the astronaut came down just short of four miles from the Kearsarge and jokingly apologized for not getting closer. On ship, he was greeted by a red carpet, a band and a roar of cheers from 1,600 sellers...
