...disappeared, some talked of friends and neighbors who were shot and killed during the revolution, some shared stories about incidents during the time of the revolution, for example, the massacre at Jaleh Square, the Rex Cinema fire, unprovoked attacks by the military and so on, some could and did pull open the shirt or pull up the pants and say "Look what SAVAK did to me." The point remains the same. Virtually everyone I met had been touched, physically and/or emotionally, in a very profound way by the brutality of SAVAK and the military under the previous regime...

...night, very stormy, ominous. I think I have the solution. The computer is "down," though, and I wait and wait with a hundred others--700 others--hoping it never revives and they call off the whole thing. My mind is exploring all the possibilities, hoping that I will miraculously pull myself out of the inner torment that endless hours of staring into a black hole has caused me. The black hole keeps saying "Syntax error" and "Improper number of arguments." Speak English...
