Not Worth Fighting For and the Soviet Threat

Embassy Attack in Tehran Still a Mystery
A three month review finds no single version of who planned the embassy seizure or why. Fragments link a Khomeini close aide to Iraqi training camps run by the KGB and PLO, with student groups and Marxists involved. The aim appears to leverage power for Khomeini and his regime amid hostage negotiations.

Letters to the Editor claim CFR TC wield covert U S power
A reader argues the CFR and Trilateral Commission run an invisible government influencing politics. The letter cites administration members and GOP figures as TC/CFR members, contends media alignment, warns of a “One World Order,” and predicts a Bush Carter duel. A second letter alleges Carter admitted Iranian students to sway hostage politics, criticizing domestic economic issues and rating.
