Wife of Canadian ambassador hid Americans during Iran crisis
Patricia Taylor, wife of Kenneth Taylor, recounts the 11 week period in Tehran when she and her husband sheltered six U.S. diplomats and others at their ambassadorial home. She describes tense dinners, police scrutiny, and a plan to mislead guards, while noting her health strain and continued scientific work. The initial disclosures prompted a House of Commons recommendation for the Order of Canada for her.
