...resort to any crime and inflame the entire world," the Ayatullah railed. "Carter has reduced his political prestige to zero. He must give up the hope of re-election." Khomeini implied that only if the U.S. tried another such rescue mission would the hostages be punished. Said he: "I warn Carter that should he resort to such foolish things, then it would be impossible for us and the government to control these Muslim, combative and heroic youth who are guarding the spies in the spy nest, that he would be responsible for their lives...
...increase productivity, cut spending, restore incentive. She pleads for time-at least two more years-to let her new "freedoms" work, but even among allies there is some skepticism.

European Community officials warn that France and other governments risk "political blackmail" by OPEC members, who may demand payoffs like recognition of the Palestine Liberation Organization as well as top dollar for oil. With their citizens freezing or deprived of gasoline during some future energy crisis, governments would doubtless be under extreme pressure to make...
...VERY THINGS that make jazz documentaries attractive to jazz fans can make them intolerable to anyone else. "Authentic footage" usually means endless sequences of grainy, incompetently-shot film and crackling, poorly-recorded sound; the phrase "candid interview" may warn of mumbled, half-unintelligible reminiscences of the dead and the hopelessly obscure. If the music and the musicians absolutely enchant you, then you can easily overlook all this, and even enjoy it, but if jazz only casually interests you, these distractions become boring and unforgiveable...
