Don’t bother calling the Whitehouse, Pahlavi. They will not accept your call.

"I never thought I would see the day when Joan Baez sings ... in Farsi," Pahlavi said, referring to the folk singer's recent version of "We Shall Overcome" - sung partially in the Iranian language. "For God's sake, it has become an international cry" going unheeded by world leaders.
