Iran鈥檚 echoes of the past
Linda Feldmann
Washington Bureau Chief
鈥淗istory doesn鈥檛 repeat itself, but it often rhymes,鈥� goes the saying attributed to Mark Twain. To those of a certain vintage, today鈥檚 uprising in Iran carries not just the rhyme of history but a sense memory of the people affected by the overthrow of the Shah in 1979. As a college student at the time, I had Iranian classmates with family still in the country. Not far away, at a similar school, we knew that Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi was a student.
Today, Mr. Pahlavi remains in exile in the United States, an opponent of theocratic rule aspiring to return to Iran and help bring democracy, he has said publicly. Our Patterns column highlighted today explores the echoes of the past.
