This year, when Dennis Dunn threw to Stratton behind the line, the Crimson defense did not collapse. "It was the flea-flicker like they did last year. We thought they might try something. As soon as Stratton took a step back, I just went deep," Coppinger said...
...rule. Blindfolded and bound, employees of the U.S. embassy in Tehran were paraded last week before vengeful crowds while their youthful captors gloated and jeered. On a gray Sunday morning, students invoking the name of Iran's Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini invaded the embassy, overwhelmed its Marine Corps guards and took some 60 Americans as hostages. Their demand: surrender the deposed Shah of Iran, currently under treatment in Manhattan for cancer of the lymphatic system and other illnesses, as the price of the Americans' release. While flatly refusing to submit to such outrageous blackmail, the U.S. was all but powerless...
...will reinforce the power of the ruling clergy, many of whom do not share his concern. The Bazargan government will be replaced by the Revolutionary Council, the quasi-legislative body of 15 members that Khomeini appointed while in exile in France last November.

After wrapping up his report last Thursday night, Cleveland Sportscaster Gibb Shanley set fire to a small Iranian flag...
Kennedy promptly took off on a three-day campaign blitz of seven cities, extending from Manchester, N.H., to Charleston, S.C. He drew large crowds, including the same kind of squealers, jumpers and touchers who used to flock to Jack. But tragedy has tempered his approach. While not avoiding large rallies altogether, he is planning to concentrate on smaller, more secure sessions, where he can discuss issues at greater length. Attending the first of these at the Copernicus Senior Citizens Center in Chicago, Kennedy gave a speech touting his national health care program. Silvester Bonnis, 72, a retired factory worker, came...
