takingthis trip igong With me.: It'e fun orme to Wit back
(0** Years age, already) and it's :nice to know others
:are ._ having NO, on the trip.
When we left Off last Week we were *St arriving in
Tehran. We mitered the city on, ffs main street, Reza
•Pahlavi Bouletrard.(n4 most certainly Ayatollah Avenue)
and it was much like driving down ..a*. an street in a
North Amerkan city.
The boulevard Is well-kepe It's clean, lined with trees,
lit whit neon and about as true a representation of Iranian
life as Saying the Toronto Argonauts are an example of the
best.the 6triadian Football, League has to offer. I vvas-to
find that out rather quickly.
Main. Street Tehran aid Magit is in his own
environment. His home was east of the centre of town so
we had an opportunity to get an extensive look at
downtown. It, much like Istanbul but even worse, is filled
with drivers who seem to assume they are participants in a
three ring circus.
It was about 9 in the evening before we arrived at
Weirs home. It was a tastelessly furnished place (by our
standardsTmiddle-claes-orhigherbytheTte)ated filled' With
a wife (one) and two children (boy 'arid girl).
They were glad to see their old man, and his •arrival was
followed by a mixture of chatter, screams and laughter
(from his kids) and embracing. We went unnoticed for
quite some time and when attention was finally paid us we
became something of a novelty.
The big M and his family seemed one group of people
who were apparently able to take the shah's attempt at
westernizing theftcountry jn stride. His wife wore no veil
and of course Magit's life as .a small entrepreneur spoke
for itself. His children, victims or beneficiaries of the
westernization process, were spoiled brats, as we found
out later.
After a short while the simplicity of the house began to
gain in appeal. On the main floor was a large living room, a
dining -den area with French doors and a kitchen tucked
into the back. Upstairs, presumably were the bedrooms.
EASTERN BATHROOM 9
The bathroom facilities, it was a suprise though it
shouldn't have been, were Eastern. More need not be
said. The big M's house, however, did have a shower,
which for me by this point- was a luxury.
After the festivities of arrival, Mrs. Magoo laid on a big
sprcad of food for us. The dinatttinae conversation eluded .
us, but having not eaten for about nine hours, were were
too busy exercising our mouths to be offended.
Finally 11 o'clock rolled around and it was time to hit the
scratcher. No, actually, it waseeme to entertain visitors.
There is a real sense of frustration in being party to a 12
person conversation and not having the slightest idea whet
Is going on.
Three couples had dropped in on the Magoo family, not
me of them arriving before 11, and it was well after
midnight before we could be excused. Bed Was a thin
plastic mattress on the floor of the 'den,' a real treat after
the back seat of a Mercedes or a tacky hotel in Turkey.
Without Magit banging on the door with the rising of the
sun I was able to sleep to 11: thereby recapturing only a
small portion of the rest I lost on the trip east. His guests
must have stayed late, because even the big M was just
getting mobile.
SLEEP ON TElE FLOOR
It turns out dud his sleeping accomodations are no
better than ours. Magit, his wife and two children all slept
in the living room, on the floor, on the same kind of
mattresses I had. There was a room upstairs, it turned out.
but the family evidently didn't see the sense in using it as
a bedroom. Aside from holding a few items for storage the
morn sat empty, virtually utilised.
A very easy morning (late sleep, - late 'breakfast, a
shower, just like home) preceded myfiret real exposure to
Tehran. In the early afternoon my travelling companion
and I headed out on foot down the main street, back the
same direction from which we had come in the night
before:
The neon lights were off and the streets were packed
with real Iranians going about their daily business. People
were scurrying about, many with turkeys shoved under
their arms. Behind low stone and mud walls on the main
mute were small farms loaded with sheep. Zoning by-laws
evidently had not yet hit the city.
THE BEGGARS
A little further was real Iranian life. a veritable slap in
the face. They line up along the walls bordering the
sidewalk: men. women and children. The men. some as
young as the mid -twenties, squat against the wall and with
one hand cover their face with a handkerchlef while the
olumn
other dangles in front of them solicitous of a donation.
Theirkiet diSturbing fee of this entire scenario though
were the Meg children. The sight of them is impossible'
to erase •from the memory, Some of them were no more,
than five and they'd stand in front of the wall fwith a rusted
out baby tram parked beside them. Inside are a hunch of
tiny screw drivers which they sell for five cents (the
e exchange) a piece. One wonders if he has 'parents, or
perhaps that disgusting creature beside him is his father.
Everywhere are people with physical ;',deforinities.
Missing limbs and mangled limbs are far more than just
exceptions. I remember, at the time, thinking these
physical problems were products of ignorance, the result
of intermarriage and inferior medical practice. To a large
extent, I was probably right, but there may have been
other players in this sad scene. It would not surprise me in
----the-least-if SAVAK ethe-glotiousepresent- ofesecrerpolitreeee
donated to Iran by the CIA, had played their part in this
unfortunate situation.
The entire experience leaves one with a much better
appreciation of what is going on in the country today,
Nobody could ever justify to me the inhuman activities of
the Ayatollah and his pawns. In the same light, I don't
have to be convinced of the cause of the Iranian people.- 1(6
is not hard to justify their bitterness, anger and frustration
towards the United States and the Shah. Their means may
sometimes be immoraL„inhuman and incomprehensible,
but I can understand how their essential cause is just.
No, digging
The answer to last week's question: 1) Music I
suspeeted I would et 'Rolling Stoves' as the answer for
the Wag Love in Vain. The S tones, indeed, did do it, but it
was .a long time after it was originally written and
recorded. The song, actually, is one of the few recOrdings
about today of country blues sbiger Robert Johnson, It was
conlOsed and written in the 1930's, a part of a brief career
that was abruptly ended when the singer was murdered.
There are almost as many accounts of his death about as
' there are Ways to commit murder. No one knows for sure.
2) - Sports.: The man who played third base in the most
gantesIbr the Dodgers in 1972 was none other than their
current all-star first baseman Steve Garvey. After that
year the team wisely moved him to first, judging that one
scattergun on the left side of the infield (shortstop Bill
Russell) was enoueh.
This week's questions: 1) Music - Felonius my old
friend/ Step on in and let me shake your hand/ So glad
that you're here again/ For one mote time/ Let your
--madness-run-witIrminet Streeteeetill unseen -We'll find
somehow/ No time is better than now/ (Chorus) Tell me
where are you driving/ Midnight Cruiser/ Where is your
bounty/ Of fortune and fame/ I am another/ gentleman
loser/ Drive me to Harlen/ Or somewhere the same. The
song is by an American group and features a guitar solo by
a fellow who is now a member of a group playing in London
tommorrw night.ktis outstanding guitar work has faded
into the tracks with the new band. 2) Sports - Who was the
last member of the Tomtit° Maple Leafs to be named
rookie -of -the -year? No, Frank, it isn't Howie Meeker.
. Answer either the music or sports question and win a
one .year membership in the Mud Bruneteau Fan Club
(MBFC).
