There were communists and feminists and student groups. It's very much like what's going on in the U.S. now, with people following Trump. It's not that they want Trump. They want a radical change, is really what people are saying. With the shah, people were just so sick of the corruption they said just get rid of him."

I found it pointless sitting in my house not working, though I'd like to go on extended vacations from time to time."
