...problem, however, is that Iran does not have enough teachers. One reasonably successful palliative up to now has been the creation of a "literacy corps" of high school graduates who spend most of their two-year military service teaching school. The corps has a program in which teachers travel with nomadic tribesmen and at each stop pitch a white school tent alongside the tribes' black goat-hair tents. The Shah also decided that each schoolchild should have a free daily glass of milk - an impossible task for the country's modest dairy industry. Even imported powdered milk would...
...trip that will take him to more than a dozen countries in Europe, South Asia and the Middle East. One achievement is certain: en route (probably between Bangladesh and Pakistan) Kissinger will break all known records for long-distance diplomacy by logging his 200,000th mile of State Department travel.

Travel to the West is denied to certain intellectuals, and Polish-language periodicals and books published in the West are confiscated at the Polish borders by customs officials...
Like mammoth prehistoric birds, Pan American World Airways and Trans World Airlines face a threat of extinction because of changing conditions, notably a fourfold rise in fuel prices and a deep slump in international air travel. Having failed in an attempt to wangle Government subsidies to keep them aloft, the two carriers last week unveiled the first move in their strategy for survival: a far-reaching, five-year swap of overseas routes that would drastically reduce head-on competition between the American giants and, they hope, allow them to fly planes somewhat more fully loaded (though each would still...
