Frustrated in its efforts to win the hostages' release, the U.S. continued its diplomatic efforts to isolate Iran as an outlaw state. Initially Carter was described by an aide as "disgusted but not surprised" by the failure of U.S. allies to condemn Iran publicly. But last week the Foreign Ministers of the nine nations of the European Community denounced the threat to try the hostages and appealed to Khomeini to free them.

Fifty years ago, a buyer had to put down only 10% of his own money to get a stock; he could use credit for the rest.
