What happens next will depend, most of all, on the wishes of the ailing Khomeini, who has apparently been doing some soul searching from his hospital bed. Last week, mindful of reports that Soviet troop strength was increasing along the border with Iran, he denounced the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan for the first time and pledged support to the Afghan insurgents. More important, he has bestowed his blessing on Banisadr in a manner that could not be mistaken. In this, he reflected the changing political mood of the country itself. Most Iranians seem ready to put the excesses...
...three Republicans are in a squeaker of a race, and the outcome may depend on which candidate best manages to bridge the cultural gap. So far, George Bush may be a little further along on that job than his rivals. His son Jeb, 26, speaks fluent Spanish, and for the past two weeks has made three or four appearances daily, always trying to keep his aptitude a secret until the last possible moment.

Four hundred years before, his predecessors were more fortunate. The first three-quarters of the 16th century in the courts of Persia formed one of the supreme periods in the history of art: a Middle Eastern equivalent, perhaps, of Florence between 1450 and 1500, or 16th century Venice, or Paris between 1880 and 1930. It was mainly in Tabriz, the capital of the Safavid dynasty, under the patronage...
