A 48-year-old civil engineer who had become Tehran's populist mayor in 2003, he focused on domestic rather than international issues.

And although it has roots in the outburst of graffiti spray painting in the 1970s and '80s, it's a different order of business. In the brief annals of street-art history, graffiti ranks as something like cave painting--a first gesture, recognized for its primal intuition that public space is up for grabs--and has, in the past four...

Hougland ’06, one of Aguoji’s friends, said the timing of Aguoji’s outburst was bizarre because Hougland had just expressed concern for his friend’s well-being.“It seemed like he was not really caring about consequences,” Hougland said. “He had a job for a few weeks but he was fired and he didn?...
