...cigarettes throughout the 1950s. Companies sought to distinguish their brands with popular slogans like "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should," "Light up a Lucky," and "For more pure pleasure, have a Camel!"

Still, in addition to his power over domestic and economic policy, the Iranian President is the face for the country abroad. And in that respect, a victory by Mir-Hossein Mousavi would have presented a worst-case scenario for Western efforts to curtail Iran's nuclear program, senior Administration officials said Sunday. He would have presented a softer, less confrontational face to the outside world. And he would have been able to stall even before he entered into negotiations with the excuse of taking all summer to get a new Cabinet and negotiating team in place...
