...reviewing the good fortunes of the year, the Prime Minister said that he was saddened by one thing: "The situation in Kurdistan." In an effort to achieve a ceasefire, Bazargan dispatched a government team to Sanandaj, including Chief of Staff Vali-Ullah Qarani and Minister of the Interior Ahmed Sadr Haj-Sayed-Javadi. Khomeini also sent Ayatullah Mahmoud Taleghani, the respected leader of Tehran's Shi'ite Muslims, to the area...
...with charlatan therapies. Psychiatrists also are becoming more hard-nosed. They are increasingly convinced that their profession may not have the answers to profound political and social problems, and should perhaps restrict itself to getting measurable results with the truly sick.

A priceless visual record of our immediate past has been lost, cut up or allowed to disintegrate in ill-tended vaults. Similarly, the stories of the people who made these films have gone untended by film librarians. Until...
Such are the forever greening hopes of a new baseball season, and the warming sun can even stir confidence in the team that always seems to be chasing the New York Yankees, and always just falling short. Last year's collapse, blowing a 14-game lead, was of such epic proportions that it already is part of the game's lore, but the Sox insist, perhaps too strongly, that the past is dead. In his 19th major league spring, Carl Yastrzemski looks back on the year that got away and declares: "I forgot about it a couple...
