...demands for guarantees of money in the amount of $23 billion presented the most difficulties, according to senior U.S. officials. For example, it was unclear what portion of the frozen $13 billion must be transferred to an escrow account in the Algerian Central Bank as a guarantee of good faith. Some $7 billion of those assets is subject to litigation by American companies that had contracts in Iran before the revolution. U.S. officials had hoped Iran would understand that Carter does not have legal authority to expatriate those funds. The implication was that the demand exceeded the amount Carter might...
...Shaffer's career began with The Royal Hunt of the Sun (1964). In that play, Atahuallpa, who is both emperor and god of the Incas, is executed by the order of Pizarro, the Spanish conquistador.

(The law was repealed only after the Tekere trial began.) At the advice of their Gibraltar-born white lawyer, Nick McNally, the defendants claimed that they...
...Wanderer is an informal concept album in which Summer's teasing sensuality is used as a point of departure. The album begins with a sexuality that is randy and raggedy at once, eases through various tales of love lost and remembered, and ends with a statement of faith and a hope for redemption. The range of the record is still a little too long for Summer's reach, but The Wanderer demonstrates that she's got the best shot at being the premier woman rocker...
