...final interview of a long, exhausting day of campaigning by Senator Edward Kennedy. Reporter Rollin Post of KRON-TV in San Francisco was trying to draw him out on Iran without much success. For a parting shot, Post asked Kennedy what his reaction was to Ronald Reagan's argument that the Shah should be allowed to stay in the U.S. because he had been a loyal friend. Kennedy answered with an emotional attack on the Shah, who, he claimed, "ran one of the most violent regimes in the history of mankind." How can we justify taking in the Shah...

It comes as no surprise that it was orchestrated by characters such as Rockefeller and Kissinger, representatives of the power centers who had supported and benefitted from the Shah's regime...
