...SHAH. This particularly enraged the embassy's assistant press attache, Abbas Lavasani, 29, who argued with his captors and defended Khomeini's Islamic revolution. At one point, one of the gunmen was ready to shoot Lavasani but was dissuaded by another hostage, British Police Constable Trevor Lock, 41, who had been overpowered at the embassy entrance on the first...
...Delhi's posh Roshanara Club, while pukka sahib types bowled on the cricket pitch. The bar of the Calcutta Light Horse, a regiment founded a century ago, was pink gin-deep in British officers. Some of them, though, looked film-familiar: Gregory Peck, David Niven, Roger Moore and Trevor Howard. The pseudo sahibs were shooting The Sea Wolves, about a daring 1943 attack on a German communications ship anchored off Goa. How did it feel to re-create the days of empire?

Speaking in Salisbury last week on the 14th anniversary of Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence, Smith astounded many observers by stating, "You can't exclude [the Patriotic Front].

Ford's Kiwanis-style banality pervades his autobiography, A Time to Heal, one of the most relentlessly worthless volumes of this, or any other, year. Ford didn't actually write it--a Washington journalist named Trevor Armbrister transcribed taped conversations with Ford and edited them. For his complicitly, Armbrister got raked over the coals when the cash came rolling in: Jerry gave him a taste of Republican austerity. Armbrister deserved it. He captured the full vapidity of Ford's colloquial style--an historical achievement, but a narrative catastrophe. Ford's boring, flat, humorless prose drones on endlessly, like the Great...
