On my first day in Tehran, two days before the sixth parliamentary elections,
the city was bustling with activity. On this particularly bright and sunny
winter day, Tehranis went about their business as they were constantly
interrupted on the street by hired hands passing out thousands of tiny
fliers advertising for the many candidates vying for Majlis seats.
"I don't want to vote this time, but my friends say we should at
least choose the better of two evils and keep the likes of [former president
Aytollah Akbar] Rafsanjani out of power," a young cabbie told me on
the way to this Internet cafe from where I an writing in northern Tehran.
"But I will vote, just to support Khatami and what he is trying to
do." >>>

The other day, Faramarz asked me to substitute for him at an important
meeting with a Holleywood producer. He wanted me to pitch one of his many
screenplays. He would have pitched it himself, except that there was a
semi-weekly bi-annual end-of-the-month special clearance sale at a belt

about movies, but he assured me that neither do movie producers, otherwise
why would anyone make movies with Steven Segal as the star? Faramarz, however,
told me that this was an important producer, a special one, who had produced
such big hits as "Deep Volcano", "Extreme Armageddon",
"Runaway Bridal Shower", and "Buy Hard, Part 18" >>>
