...British Union of Fascists, has published a lengthy piece entitled "Sociobiology: The Instincts in Our Genes," which attempts to justify the virulent racism of that organization by means of sociobiological arguments. Unfortunately, this group has achieved significant inroads into British politics. Several groups in France have embarked on a similar route, hoping to use the scientific respectability of the American sociobiologists (prominent among them several Harvard faculty members) to support their most reactionary social policies...
...similar difficulty exists in Khuzistan, center of the Iranian oil industry. The Khomeini regime has alienated the 2 million Shi'ite Arabs of Khuzistan, particularly the oilfield workers, who feel that their strikes made a significant contribution to the overthrow of the Shah. The Iranian oil industry also needs technocratic leadership, which the Ayatullah has been unable or unwilling to provide. The current oil minister, Ah' Akbar Moinfar, last week announced that he would suspend shipments to the U.S. "the moment we get orders from the Imam." In fact, no such order was issued, and U.S. companies said that there...
...Similar outbursts took place across the nation last week, as angry Americans focused their rage on the nearest available symbol of the Khomeini regime: some 40,000 often militant Iranian students attending U.S. colleges and universities. Many Americans suddenly decided that these students were no longer welcome. New York Congressman Leo Zeferetti called for the immediate deportation of the Iranians who had dangled a 140-ft. banner from the Statue of Liberty demanding: THE SHAH MUST BE TRIED AND PUNISHED. After wrapping up his report last Thursday night, Cleveland Sportscaster Gibb Shanley set fire to a small Iranian flag...
Crime, poverty, racial tension. The symptoms are so depressingly similar from one urban center to another that they are often lumped together in one catchall phrase: "the problem of the cities." Politically, however, the cities make up a complex and ever shifting mosaic, as local elections across the nation demonstrated last week. In general, the cities' voters remained loyal to incumbents, and still more so to the Democratic Party. But there were strong crosscurrents of change in some big cities. Most notable: the sudden rise to prominence of new voting blocs in Houston, Miami and San Francisco...
...similar spirit, male cadets have formulated an unwritten rule prohibiting serious dating by cadets in the same basic unit, the company, which numbers about 100. The cadets are taught that each company is supposed to function as a whole, just as it would under combat conditions. This was the rule that was violated by the female cadet who was forced to bite off a chicken's head. She and her boyfriend, the son and daughter of military officers, had dated as plebes, and when they wound up by chance in the same company at summer camp, they began going...
