Hidden treasure
Discovering South Tehran
By Saba Ghadrboland
December 8, 2000
The Iranian
Let's face it. South Tehran has a reputation which is about as good
as Southeast DC, South Central LA, or the Parisian banlieues. These are
not the places you take visiting relatives. However, if you are in Tehran
and looking to get away from the trendy, Westernized feeling of the uptown
areas without leaving the city, hop a cab and head toward the south of
the city >>>

I'm the pride of 2,500 years of history
By Siamack Baniameri
December 7, 2000
The Iranian
...dude! I just want to get in shape.
My entire life, I have found absolutely no reason to workout or stay
in shape since I'm covered with thick black hair. Not even a single muscle
on my body is exposed to daylight. I took off my shirt in public once and
animal lovers attacked me; they thought I was wearing a fur coat. When
I walk into a public pool, wearing my Speedo, people run out screaming
with a look of indescribable horror on their faces >>>

Powerless
But still popular
By Mehdi Ardalan
December 6, 2000
The Iranian
It's no secret that Iran's Constitution is riddled with ambiguities.
It's also no secret that often one of the two factions is tempted to solve
these ambiguities to their own political benefit. Against this backdrop,
President Khatami came out with the public announcement that certain articles
of the constitution have been violated but that he does not have enough
authority to stop the violations >>>

Palestine
Crossfire
A Palestinian tragedy
By Edna Yaghi
December 6, 2000
The Iranian
When 12-year-old Palestinian Mohammed spoke of how he wanted to be a
soccer champion, his black eyes flashed and he would kick an imaginary
ball off to a successful goal. His mother, busy with her six other children
would nod her head and say, "Yes, perhaps one day when you are big
and stronger, you will go off to the Olympics and win a gold medal."

Growing up Iranian and American
By Siedeh Rezaei-Kamalabad
December 3, 2000
The Iranian
My siblings and I are the only half Iranians in our family. Everyone
else is fully Iranian and since my father is an Iranian Muslim and my mother
converted to Islam, we practice the Islamic faith at home. My mother accepted
many of the Iranian customs and wanted my siblings and me to know about
our Iranian heritage. We celebrated the Iranian New Year and ate Iranian
food most of the time. For a long time I thought everyone ate Iranian food.
We were also half American, and since my mother's family was Catholic,
we celebrated Christmas and Easter with them >>>
