Turkey does not have the authoritarian one-man rule of a Shah as a unifying target for fragmented opposition. Modernization began earlier and was less hectic. It also produced a wider distribution of wealth and a stronger middle class than it did in Iran. Turkey's overwhelmingly Muslim population of 40 million includes 6 million Shi'ites, who are spiritual kin to those in Iran. But thanks to the secularization imposed on Turkey by its modern (1923) founder, Kemal Atatürk, religion is not nearly the force it has always been in Iran...
...Alas, he said, his guerrillas hit the wrong aircraft: they had intended to kill Walls and had reason to believe he was on the first plane. So, Nkomo insisted, it was Walls who was "responsible for the deaths of all these other people because he is the biggest military target...
ALTHOUGH THE U.S. must shun direct intervention in Iranian politics, it should strongly condemn one of the first acts of that government.

While his statement, and the seizure of the Israeli legation buildings for use by the Palestine Liberation Organization, are dangerous harbingers or renewed warfare in the region, the implied threat to non-Moslem minorities and the thousands of Jews now living in Iran is especially troubling. The Iranian government and the international community must at the earliest possible opportunity affirm that...
Still, many Congressmen fear that payouts from the program would bloat the budget deficit well beyond the $29 billion target set by the Administration for fiscal 1980. The White House calculates that based on an inflation rate of 7.5% for all of that period, real wage insurance should cost no more than $2.5 billion. But some forecasts point to an average inflation rate of 9% or more this year...
Einstein published two other landmark reports in Annalen der Physik during 1905. One paper explained a laboratory curiosity called the photoelectric effect, which occurs when a light beam hits a metallic target and causes it to give off electrons. (This phenomenon makes possible a host of today's electronic gadgetry, ranging from electric-eye devices to TV picture tubes and solar panels for spacecraft.) In this paper Einstein borrowed from a theory by German Physicist Max Planck, who had solved a vexing problem about the radiation of heat and light from hot objects by proposing that this radiant energy...
