The piece debates Iran’s potential nuclear capacity and Ayatollah Khomeini’s response. It argues Iran is politically unstable, war with Iraq complicates loyalty, and Khomeini uses theology to mobilize fundamentalists while seeking renewed prosperity.
The piece contrasts Khomeini's calls for mass action with the Western reading of Salman Rushdie's case. It argues that Khomeini's defense of Muslim dogma is universal in scope and potentially explosive, likening his zeal to crusader-era zeal and warning of future risks as nuclear possibilities loom. The author notes Iran’s dynamic stance toward blasphemy, authority, and the fate of dissent.
A reader rebukes John E. Jacob's abortion stance and argues the real issue is who gets an abortion and why. The writer contends most abortions are for convenience or non life threatening reasons and questions society's self centeredness. Kent L. Svendsen Harmon signs the letter.
March 2 1979 Dixon High School implements a revised truancy policy. Principal Richard Boyer says the plan is working well with positive early impressions though no concrete statistics are available yet. Students appear to respond to the new procedures.
The piece casts Steve Garvey as a mixed symbol of heroism and moral failing, arguing that celebrity packaging and personal ethics shape society’s view of sports stars. It notes Garvey will take financial responsibility, contrasts batters’ glory with the hardship faced by single mothers, and questions the courage required of families left behind.
A reader riffs on a recent elite think tank study that devalues small daily wins. The piece argues real success is personal and unmeasurable by grand standards, noting farmers and students define it by practical outcomes and grateful family descriptions rather than wealth or status.
Congress faces ethics pressure as lawmakers who voted down a 51 percent raise struggle to justify accepting speaking fees from lobbying groups.
