RIP Kirk Douglas. On a minor note here, If Ambassador Zahedi had invited some of the leftists Iranian students like our own FeeFee and Assdola et al to this lavish party, maybe they wouldn't have protested against the late Shah outside the embassy in DC! I have been told that the embassy staff used offer the left over food and liquor to the students! In particular, the Muslim students I am told only would ask for the Whiskey bottles and not the food because they believeed the embassy cheff wouldn't abide by the proper kosher preparation! Apparently, the students used to walk to the big mosque on Massachusetts Ave. ang get drunk right there in the mosque!
