...father, Reza Shah, outlawed the chador in the 1930s, rural women continued to wear them. After his abdication from the Peacock Throne in 1941, chadors began to reappear in Iranian cities. Today, four-fifths of older Iranian women wear the chador, as do an increasing number of younger women. But today's chador does not always fulfill its intended purpose: some are quite diaphanous. In an ironic display of Iranian women's desires for both more freedom and a return to traditional ways, many of them are worn over blue jeans...

Said Teng...
...increase integration. Hannon thereupon transferred 3,500 teachers and principals in an integration program that Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Joseph Califano called "a model for the nation." But last month a federal judge declared the scheme unconstitutional because it exempted teachers over age 55, thereby discriminating against younger teachers. Meanwhile, Hannon has ignored a recommendation from the school board's City-Wide Advisory Committee, made up of church, labor and business groups, that the schools prepare a contingency plan for mandatory pupil integration...
