NOW accounts who pays in the short run analysis
The article discusses NOW accounts costs and potential pass-throughs to customers. It cites Charles Maddox of the Independent Bankers Association on higher loan rates and transaction charges, with example costs to a typical NOW holder. It notes banks may offset expenses with fees and fewer checks as electronic transfers grow, warning of broad changes in thrift versus commercial banking.

Secret police torture under the Shah and SAVAK abuses
An intelligence study by William Butler and Georges Levasseur describes systematic torture in Shah era prisons. SAVAK, loyal to the Shah, faces no judicial oversight, with reports from Iranian poet Reza Baraheni detailing brutal methods and extended detentions. The study notes international training of SAVAK, and pins blame on the regime while acknowledging limited progress in women’s rights and economy.
